As a child of the Xbox 360 era, I can confidently say that this console was nothing short of a game-changer for me. The nostalgia it brings back is palpable, and every time I look at my worn-out copy of “Gears of War,” I’m transported back to those late nights spent huddled around the TV with friends, strategizing our next move against the Locust Horde.
Microsoft’s Xbox hardware isn’t typically associated with remarkable success stories. The original Xbox debuted with much fanfare but fell short compared to Sony and Nintendo, and it was heavy enough to potentially cause injury if dropped. The Xbox One made a series of self-inflicted wounds and took a long time to regain its footing. The Xbox Series X/S started off well but has faced difficulties in consistently providing compelling exclusives, as well as declining hardware sales. However, there was the Xbox 360.
Back then, we experienced a spellbinding era where games like Halo, Gears of War, and Forza saw numerous sequels and garnered immense admiration. Before Microsoft started focusing less on exclusives and more on Kinect, the Xbox 360 generation unveiled some truly iconic titles. Here are our top 15 favorites, as chosen in 2024.
Grand Theft Auto 4
Stepping from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas to Grand Theft Auto 4 on next-gen consoles was quite a challenge for Rockstar, but let me tell you, it’s still an exceptional addition to the series. The tale of Niko Bellic’s rise in crime was portrayed with a raw, unyielding realism that left an indelible impact. Enhancements in character models and motion capture, the vast quantity of dialogue, the expansive Liberty City, and more all contributed to an awe-inspiring sequel.
