Searching for a Xbox 360 game can be a little bit tough, because of the amount of titles that are piled on retail shelves daily. The reason there are so many titles on the shelf for Xbox is because they were the pioneer of the seventh generation gaming consoles that were released. The newest games that come out for the Xbox 360 are almost $60 no matter what the title is. So instead of going out and blowing your money on a cool game that looks awesome on the box, you should consider these titles.

If you enjoyed playing Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion which gained a lot of attention in the early Xbox 360 years, you will like Fallout 3. Developed by the same people that brought Oblivion, Fallout 3 is an engrossing action role-playing-game with a post-World War II setting. The open-ended gameplay and character-leveling system earned high marks from top reviewing sites. This is definitely a game to pick up even if you never played a Fallout game before.

In 2008, Grand Theft Auto IV was given several “game of the year” awards for its lasting game play, and excellent presentation. GTA IV was one of the most highly anticipated and also highly contested games of the year because of its graphic nature. But we can assure you that this game is one of the best of the year, and even has an extra episode that you can download via Xbox Live, with more due later this year.

There are not a whole lot of games that keep you on the edge of your seat anymore with the “Scary” title. Dead Space was listed last year as the “World’s Scariest Game”. It’s a very dark and thrilling game that is a third-person shooter, leaving no room to be bored.

There are also third-person shooters that are not as scary, but just as good with Gears of War 2 being one of the best. Not only is the single player experience good, but the multiplayer feature allows you to play with 9 others. Gears of War 2 also won a few awards as well making this a must-have in your game collection.

Action-packed games do not have to be 3-D and bloody and Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 proves it. This Xbox Live Arcade shooter was greatly praised by critics for the different modes to choose from. It is much better than its predecessor and some consider it as the best Xbox Live Arcade game during the time of its release. Because it is an Xbox Live Arcade title, it is a lot cheaper than the other games mentioned.

Another great Xbox Live Arcade game is Braid which is more of a puzzle game. In fact it is one of the more innovative games that are really worth playing no matter how old you are. The challenge is just right, the story really sucks you in, and the musical score is fantastic. Although this is much more expensive than most Xbox Live games, it should definitely be a part of your gaming collection.

Making sure that you know what you are looking for in a game will help you tremendously to find a game that will satisfy your gaming needs. It may not seem like it would be that hard to find one, but go check out your local electronics store, and see how many titles fit what you want, and it will become clear.
