8 Best Xbox 360 Video Games (Review)

The Grand Theft Auto V is inarguably the most exciting and addictive game developed by Rockstar Games. Just so you have the best gaming experience, the Grand Theft Auto V runs on only Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. With these video game devices, you can rest assured that you won’t have to worry about the usual lag and frame skipping problems associated with most of their contenders out there.

Also, the Grand Theft Auto V video game comes in two CD-ROMs: one contains the installation settings, while the other houses the game itself. Once you install the game, you will no longer require the installation as all the installation data will automatically be saved on the game disc. However, note that you will need a minimum of 8 GB storage space in your Xbox 360 hard drive before you can fully install the game. While this might seem quite large, in comparison to other high-processor games, it is pretty reasonable.

The Call of Duty Black Ops is a weapon-based combat video game developed by Activision. Black Ops 1 and 2 is actually the tenth from Activision included in the Call of Duty franchise. Very few games offer a wide range of compatibility like this, so you’ve got to hand it to the developers. Not only is it compatible with Xbox 360, but it also runs seamlessly on PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, Wii U, and Microsoft Windows. So, regardless of the console you own and can afford, you have the opportunity of enjoying the Call of Duty Black Ops.

When it comes to the all-around gameplay of Call of Duty, it certainly does not disappoint. Call of Duty takes pride in the fact that the Black Ops is the first game to incorporate branched storylines as part of a combat video game. What this means is that the choices made by a player affect the story and outcome of the game. For instance, if a game character dies in a particular mission, instead of the usual game-over, it will continue without the character. It doesn’t get more immersive than that.

Minecraft video game, which was developed by Microsoft, is something you can never get tired or bored with, even after playing it for years. The newly introduced version of the Minecraft game is compatible with Xbox 360, which makes it a lot more exciting.

The most exciting thing about the Minecraft video game is its simple yet addictive gameplay. You simply have to mine and craft. It seems pretty straight forward right? Unlike most action-packed Xbox 360 video games that require you to kill your enemies to stay alive, you just need to do what you have to do to survive and build a block-world in Minecraft. There is no form of combat, so if you are looking for a game that does not revolve around gun violence and other crimes for your kids, this is your go-to option. Although the Microsoft Minecraft Xbox 360 Video Game is marketed as a kiddie’s game, nothing stops adults from taking part in the fun too. In fact, it can be an excellent way for parents to bond and teach their kids valuable life lessons.

The Sonic Unleashed Platinum Hits video game was released as part of the Sonic Hedgehog series in 2008. The developers combined the classic Sonic storyline and next-generation technology to give game lovers an adventure of a lifetime. What’s more, players get to place themselves in the shoes of Sonic as it races across the globe to save people.

Furthermore, the Sonic Unleashed Platinum Hits video game can be played in two modes: daytime and nighttime. With the former, gamers can make Sonic run in 2D and 3D display. In the 2D mode, Sonic is made to run in a side-scrolling manner when it’s time to save the day. However, if you are not comfortable with the 2D mode, you can switch to the 3D running style, in which case the camera is positioned at the back of Sonic as he runs. This way, Sonic can run in any direction you want and not just a straight line. That said, the 2D and 3D navigation mode are not the only goodies incorporated into the Platinum Hits. There is also the Quick-Step mode that allows Sonic to dodge obstacles as he runs. Also, the Drift mode helps Sonic make sharp turns without reducing his speed.

The Red Dead Redemption video game adapts the story of John Marston, who was an outlaw from chaotic badlands in the 20th century. The game takes you on an action-packed adventure across different locations in America. If you are a die-hard fan of video games that involve gun battles, robberies, and bounty hunting, you will never get tired of the Red Dead Redemption. There are no rules in the game, it’s either kill or be killed. Furthermore, you have to do anything that will keep you alive in the lawless world.

The latest version of Red Dead Redemption features a zombie spinoff, which takes the thrill of the game to a whole new level. Many video game developers have tried to create zombie-based horror games, just like movies, but failed. So, it’s a massive feat that the Red Dead Redemption developers have achieved. What’s more, you have to fight off scores of zombies to stay alive in the game and if they eventually lay their hands on you, your flesh will be their dinner.

The Left 4 Dead 2 is a video game developed by Valve in 2009. It’s the sequel to Left 4 Dead, which is another horror-based, first-person shooter game. What makes the gameplay of the Left 4 Dead 2 different from other horror-based games is the fact that it features five campaigns. When you install the game and open the main menu, you will see each battle with the images of four survivors displayed on the screen. What’s more, you also have the option of playing anyone that interests you. Equally, once you complete a campaign, you will be offered faux credits that will be used in ranking you on the scoreboard.

Also, if you have been looking for a game in which you can try your hands on assault rifles of all kinds, then you are in luck. This video game features five categories of weapons that will help you fight your way to the top of the scoreboard. The first category is the primary weapon, which includes firearms like Chrome Shotgun, Combat Shotgun, M60, and Grenade Launcher. Then there is the secondary weapon category, which boasts of small and large caliber pistols. Other types include throwable weapons, as well as minor, and major ammunition upgrades. And in addition, unlike most weapon-based games that do not have any means to resuscitate injured players, the Left 4 Dead 2 features a first aid kit and defibrillator as part of its medical supplies. With these supplies, it will be very hard before you are killed, which means you will have more time to enjoy your adventure. Additionally, with the single and multiplayer mode incorporated in the video game, you have the choice of enjoying the game alone or completing it with a friend. No matter what you choose, you will definitely have a swell time playing the game. Our guide to the best Nintendo Switch video game features more amazing options for your game nights, so check them out.

The Sonic Platinum Hits is a collection of Sonic the Hedgehog video games published by Sega and boasts of over 45 games, which are all compatible with Xbox 360 as well as PlayStation 3. While these games may already be enough, the collection also comes with some other locked games that you can only have access to when you complete specific tasks. And as you spend time trying to achieve your set targets, you are bound to get addicted to the game.

Furthermore, if you loved the older versions of Sonic games in Sega gaming devices, you now have a chance of experiencing them in a high-definition view that Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 have to offer. And unlike the Sega edition of the Sonic Ultimate Genesis games that you could only play with computer-controlled characters, the Xbox 360 edition offers a multiplayer option. In this multiplayer mode, you can play with your friends and family, which will be more fun-filled. However, if you feel like playing the game alone, then get ready to single-handedly fight Sonic’s archenemy, Dr. Eggman and other beasts.

If you are a big fan of the Mario Kart Wii, then you will love the Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing video game even more, because it’s actually a high-definition remake of the classics. Although the mechanics of the Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing video game and Mario Kart Wii are the same, a world of difference still exists between both games. For example, in Mario Kart Wii, the scoreboard for race winners usually changes dramatically. Someone at the top of the board today, maybe struggling to get past the last position tomorrow, which is kind of unrealistic. However, that is not a problem in the Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing. The game is designed in a way that makes it very unlikely for inferior racers to be able to rock the boat. So, in essence, the game is somewhat difficult for inexperienced players, while the experts enjoy the competitive advantage.

If you have played a lot of racing games, you will agree that running on some tracks can be quite tricky, especially when taking a sharp turn. For this reason, the developers of the Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing video game designed its tracks so that drivers would find it quite easy to navigate around sharp bends and tight areas.
