In Response To: Get To Know Your HBO: Top 10 360 Edition! (GrimBrother One) Number 10: Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare I debated whether to put Call of Duty 2 here, or its more modern counterpart. Ultimately I went with the latter, just because the campaign in the game was a lot more memorable. I never cared for the multiplayer in the Call of Duty-series, and I don't reckon I ever will. Number 9: Prey One of the first memorable shooters I played on my 360, and also the first Xbox game I played online. It impressed me enough to warrant an annual playthrough. Number 8: Crackdown I'm one of the few people who didn't get this game to play the Halo 3 Beta. What little story there is is silly, but the fun of jumping around on rooftops and blowing shit up more than made up for that. It's sequel had more of the same, but ultimately was just a rehash of the original. Number 7: Dragon Age: Origins BioWare sure knows how to make quality titles. While the combat in 'Dragon Age' felt a bit clunky at times, the world of Ferelden was an amazing sight to behold, and the story of your Grey Warden's rise to glory a gripping one. Number 6: The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion A few years ago, this one would have topped my list, but it's testament to the quality of the games of the past few years that it now finds itself on this sixth spot. It's still an amazing game, though, with a living, breathing world that just waits to be explored. Too bad all of the NPC's had the same voice. Number 5: Mass Effect This is another game that got bumped down on the list. While the story in Mass Effect is still top-notch, the clunky combat and inventory system (especially after having played Mass Effect 2) have become a bit of a sore spot. It's still an amazing game, but it's now a mere stepping stone to the near-perfect sequel. Number 4: Red Dead Redemption The tale of John Marston's redemption is, simpy put, a must-play. Rockstar took what they learned from creating GTA IV and crafted a world that both pays homage to the old Western movies and feels like a real-life place at the same time. Number 3: Assassin's Creed II Having an amazing world to explore seems to be a sure way to get on this list, and the renaissance Italy the team at Ubisoft created for this game is a prime example of this. The cities of Florence, San Gimigiano, Forli and Venice are not only amazing eye candy, but they also offer a creative sandbox in which players can fool around on, above and beneath the street level. The only thing that sucks about this game is the way they nerfed the throwing knives. Number 2: Fallout 3 Bethesda took the framework of an already awesome game (Oblivion), added in the story of an already awesome franchise (Fallout) and the resulting creation is a world where players can get lost in for hours upon hours. The Capital Wasteland is ironically beautiful, and offers players plenty of activities. From following in Dad's footsteps to hunting Mirelurks: everything is possible. Except killing kids. Number 1: Mass Effect 2 Really, did you expect anything else? This game took what was awesome about the first game, expanded upon it, and then decided to not add in a decent walking ability, just to keep the competition a bit fair. Even without that, however, Mass Effect 2's epic storyline, fluent combat and cinematic dialogue system make it an experience anyone with an Xbox 360 or PC should not deprive themselves of.
