The Xbox 360 is when Microsoft became a major player in the console space, with a larger outreach than its predecessor and three solid flagship franchises in Halo, Forza and Gears of War. While it suffered from issues like the Red Ring of Death in the early going – to say nothing of the later Kinect era – the seventh generation console still supported some amazing games in its lifespan. Let’s look at 15 of the best here.

Grand Theft Auto 5

Rockstar Games’ most successful title, Grand Theft Auto 5 redefined how detailed and lifelike open-world games could be. On top of its gorgeous visuals and intricate world, it pushed the boundaries of the franchise’s established formula with three protagonists, heists, activities like sports, hunting and racing, and memorable side stories. The fact that it achieved all of this on seventh-gen console hardware is a feat, that too without considering GTA Online.

The Xbox 360 took the world by storm back in 2005. If you were a gamer back in the early 2000s and didn’t have PlayStation 3 console, you probably had an Xbox 360. Microsoft’s almost perfect moves back then invited a lot of great developers and in the process a lot of franchises ditched their PlayStation exclusivity. With that out of the way, enjoy GamingBolt’s picks for 15 of the best Xbox 360 games of all time.

Please note that due to sheer number of games on the Xbox 360, it’s impossible to make everyone of you happy! But please note that this is our list so there is a good chance your favorite game may not be present here.

Dead Space

Dead Space puts the player on a spaceship that is infested with grotesque monsters known as Necromorphs. You were sent with a team of engineers to repair the USG Ishimura, a mining flagship that had sent out a distress signal. The player was put in the shoes of Isaac Clarke, an engineer for the CEC, a trade organization forefronting deep space and solar mining. The game was made to be a psychological horror shooting game and it hit its mark fairly well. It was the kind of game you knew something was coming if it got too quiet. It didn’t help that air vents were the main path for the monsters to jump out and scare the living daylights out of you. The game was critically acclaimed for its writing, polished level design and incredible atmosphere.

Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2, Portal, and The Orange Box Are Now Xbox One X Enhanced

Microsoft’s initiative to enhance older, backward compatible Xbox and Xbox 360 games for Xbox One X has sort of been laying low recently, with no new game having been announced for inclusion for a while. However, today, Microsoft announced a whole bunch of new, beloved games to be added to the list.

These games are all Valve titles—Portal, Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2, and The Orange Box (which means we also get Team Fortress 2, Half Life 2, Half Life 2: Episode 1, and Half Life 2: Episode 2 enhanced, since they comprise The Orange Box). Basically, this means that the emulator on Xbox One X will be able to run these games at nine times the original pixel count, without any touching of the base game code necessary. These will be the best possible console versions for these games (the best versions will, of course, all be on PC).

All these games can be bought on the Xbox Store for $20 each. If you want to play more beloved games enhanced for Xbox One X, the original Red Dead Redemption got an extremely impressive update to support Microsoft’s superpowered console, too.

EA: PS3 Orange Box was a ‘challenge situation’

According to an interview, EA has said that the 2007 super hit game, The Orange Box was a challenge situation on the PlayStation 3 and the version did not lived up to their expectations. The game which consisted of Half Life, Team Fortress and Portal was highly successful commercially and critically on the Xbox 360 and the PC, but had a bad showing on the PlayStation 3. Later on Valve themselves said that the PS3 version was a “stepchild version” and they did not put their “best foot forward for the PlayStation 3 community”.

Is Portal 2 going to make it’s way to the PS3?

The latest issue of PSM3, which mainly features Fear 3, adds more information on Portal 2.

When it was announced last month, Valve revealed that the game would only be for PC, Xbox 360 and MAC. The first Portal game however, was featured in The Orange Box, which was also released on the PS3.

VG247 states that they’re going to e-mail Valve about this, but don’t go hoping much as the game’s gone dark until E3.

Portal 2 is due for release Q4 this year.
