The 10 Best Xbox 360 Games: Top New Xbox Games and Video Game Picks

Discover the 10 best Xbox 360 games as our expert reviewer unveils the top new Xbox games and best games for your 360, including the hottest titles of 2009, 2010 and beyond.

Picking the 10 best Xbox 360 games is harder than it sounds, as Microsoft’s Xbox 360 has quickly established itself as one of the hottest video game systems around. From action games to arcade, sports and racing titles, literally hundreds of top 360 games exist, especially if you take into account the best Xbox Live games, which can be downloaded directly to your console. Still, even to the untrained eye (you don’t have to be a video game expert to appreciate the Halo or Gears of War series’ popularity), many 360 games stand out from their peers. Out of those traditional games available for ready purchase at retail, the following clearly rank among the best of the bunch. Those looking to get more out of their system can also read our articles on Xbox 360 media server setup and how to setup Parental Controls here.

  • Fallout 3 is awesome. GEARS2 was ok, but seemed like a shorter game then the first.

    I want to try DJ Hero and Assassins Creed 2.
  • Andrew Beehler
    I'm surprised that Modern Warfare 2 didn't make the cut, they are opening up certain Best Buy locations for the release at Midnight, seems like a big deal.
  • Asassins Creed 2 looks sweet, will have to add that to my Christmas List.
  • codhead
    ok i agree with some of the choices but wheres call of duty modern warfare 2? it is the top selling game on 1st day and its not on the top 10 360 games ???
  • RyRy
    because at this time, MW2 hadn't come out yet.
  • mikeschriner
    I would add an xbox security kit from newpcgadgets to secure my console
  • b-gammer
    Halo odst sucked really bad
  • I never played it, never cared for Halo too much. Why didn't you like it?
