Essential 360 games

Snakeweasel

Hey guys, I'm holding off on getting a next gen console due to poor internet in my area, so I am buying games that were good at there time but are now floating around cheap. For example picking up far cry 3 and red dead redemption for less than €15 each on amazon.

could people give their choices here for what they think are essential single player games for the xbox 360 (online not an option)

I have the arkham and GoW series. (sorry if this has been asked already)

Gears of War 1 - 3
Halo 3, Reach and the Remaster also don't forgot the underrated Halo Wars
Forza 2, 3, 4
Bioshock 1 and Infinite
Borderlands 2 Game of the Year.
Shadow Complex
The Orange Box
The Walking Dead. The ones based on the comic book Season 1 and 2
Bayonetta
Dead Space 2
Assassin's Creed 2
Burnout Paradise
Diablo III
Tomb Raider
The Rockband games
Crackdown

That list there should keep you going for a long time. Some of the best games over the last few years right there.

Don't forget you can play a lot of xbox original games on the 360. Ok, graphics might be dated but tbh you can't get a better game (IMHO) than Star Wars: KOTOR.

Pick up the XBL compilation in your local Gamestop for a fiver, and play tons of Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2.
Project Gotham 4 is still a cracking title.
Goldeneye 007: Reloaded is great fun.
If you are willing to go back in time, I would repeat the Knights of the Old Republic is incredible stuff, and I have a soft spot for Republic Commando, both of which aren't hard to find or expensive, Crimson Skies is also pretty cool.
Left 4 Dead and it's sequel are great, even in single player.
Bulletstorm is a scream, mad fun from start to finish.
Test Drive Unlimited is great too, don't bother with the sequel.
If you can, get the various Cave shooters, many are region free, Dodonpachi: Resurrection, Muchi Muchi Pork: Pink Sweets and Deathsmiles.
Under Defeat HD is amazing too.
Red Dead Redemption should be the first game you buy, especially if you can get the collected edition, with the DLC on disk, it's incredible.
GTA IV and it's DLC as well as GTA V should be must haves as well.
