Microsoft ended the production of the Xbox 360 on April 20th, 2016 and we thought that this would be a perfect idea to compile the ultimate list of games not to miss from the Xbox 360 era. We asked our editors to compile their top ten game list of the Xbox 360, and this is all of their lists compiled below:
27. The Witcher 2: Assassins Of Kings
Geralt of Rivia is here to slay monsters and drink mead, and he already drank your mead.
26. South Park: The Stick Of Truth
South Park: The Stick of Truth is your chance to embark on your very own adventure to become cool! You’re the new kid that just moved to the town of South Park, and you must fit in with the other kids.
25. Skate 3
The (hopefully not) final game in the Skate trilogy. Building upon the ideas of Skate 2 while adding in deeper customization and a city that doesn’t hate skateboarders.
24. Madden ’11
Take control of your favorite NFL franchise and play through the NFL season, making the moves you wish your team would. After that, test your skill online against people from all over the world.
23. Skate 1
The greatest skateboarding series of all time started here. I am sorry Tony Hawk, but for me, you have kicked your last flip.
22. Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Ghille suits and racial slurs. Our generation’s definitive online gaming experience.
21. Mass Effect 3
The Reaper threat is real. All galactic life is on the verge of extinction. Can you unite all the different species and fight back?
20. Devil May Cry 4
There’s cool, and then there’s destroying a demon while dancing to a Spanish guitar tune with a rose in your mouth cool.
19. Dark Souls II
Prepare to die. You are a hollow, a zombie-like being. Your quest is to travel across the kingdom of Drangleic and obtain the four Great Souls. Are you up to the challenge?
18. Battlefield: Bad Company
Four soldiers, ten tons of gold, and zero fucks given. This isn’t your average war game.
17. Assassins Creed II
Assassins Creed II launched as a direct sequel to Assassins Creed and it was better in so many different ways. You are introduced to Ezio Auditore who lived in Italy during the Renaissance, and you become an assassin like your father before you.
16. Grand Theft Auto V
When a new Grand Theft Auto releases, it’s a cultural phenomenon. This game sold over one billion in sales the first day it launched and has sold over fifty-three million copies to date. Grand Theft Auto V was the first game in the series to feature three different characters that be controlled at any time, and threw the player into the city of Los Santos and its surrounding areas.
15. Mortal Kombat (9)
Mortal Kombat’s definitive return after far too long. Sadists and Masochists are welcome. No pacifists.
14. Alan Wake
Where do we even begin? After what felt like years of waiting for this game to release, it finally released in 2010. Some people absolutely adored Alan Wake while others did not care for it, but one thing was for sure, it was a cult hit. Alan Wake places you in the shoes of best-selling author, Alan Wake, who suffers from writers block. Wake travels to a town called Bright Falls where his book soon comes to life. The unique use of light as a weapon and the most astounding narrative in a story, makes Alan Wake not one to be missed.
13. Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3
The only time a game’s epilepsy warning should be taken seriously. Your favorite fighting game just took ecstasy and picked up some glow sticks. I hope you’re ready, the flashiest fighting game of all time is here!
12. Red Dead Redemption
Red Dead Redemption was a Rockstar success, it was the first time that the company has ventured into the wild west area and they knocked it straight off the frontier! Red Dead Redemption was a brilliant entry into Rockstars open world games, that immersed the player into America in 1911 as John Marston, a former outlaw. You rode horses, explored vast open locations, hunted outlaws and could even tie a man to your horse and drag him around.
11. Batman Arkham Asylum
The Joker has taken over Arkham Asylum. Take control of Batman for a night and restore order to the prison.
10. Mass Effect 2
Commander Sheppard was KIA. Cerberus has spent a mini fortune to bring him back to life. Sheppard and Cerberus have a common interest, stopping the Reaper threat. The only question is, can Sheppard trust Cerberus?
9. Halo 3
Finish the fight. Take control of the one man army, Master Chief and hunt down the Prophet of Truth. After you take care of business, jump online and play against the world!
8. Skate 2
Arguably the greatest entry in the Skate series. The multiplayer was perfect, and the city was your playground. HEAR ME EA! BRING THIS SERIES BACK!
7. Bioshock Infinite
The bird or the cage, religious nuts, a lighthouse and a rebellion. What all do they have in common? They are all in Bioshock Infinite. The story in Bioshock Infinite is some of the best story telling in a video-game to date and it’s one that can’t be missed!
6. Bioshock

4. Mass Effect
A Turian Spectre has gone rogue and you see a vision of disaster. Commander Sheppard was just given the honor of becoming the first human Spectre. His first mission, hunting down the rogue Turian Spectre.
3. Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Multiple GOTY winner and ultimate meme creator. I used to not know what the meme was….until a took an arrow to the knee.
2. Fallout 3
