Dragon Age: Origins, COD Black Ops, World at War, MW2/3, the Fable trilogy, Dark Souls, and Witcher 2 as well.

360 was the shite.

No . As much as I shite on the Xbox nowadays and like 85% of the time for good reason the 360 brought live, brought Netflix exclusive for a year I believe, had all the games 18-24 wanted. I think they only slightly lost to ps3 at last minute in overall sales because the red wing. But yes Xbox 360 other than maybe ps1 was the best gaming console ever.

OP you’re just using game catalog not that they brought online gaming and streaming

Xbox 360 also introduced Achievements which made me chase them for a little while with games, they were slightly addicting.

I wish Mass Effect 3 hadn’t been. Still a great game, but they had to chop up the narrative due to having to split the game onto two discs.

I always say the PS2/Xbox/Gamecube gen was when gaming was at its best.

The graphics were a perfect mix of realistic but not too realistic to where the game environments weren't too overwhelming. Also, online play wasn't dominating the industry so you had a lot of good campaign modes and games weren't coming out incomplete because companies weren't able to release online updates.

Throw in XBox Live and the relatively new experience of gaming with live chat with friends and parties it was freaking awesome.

I bought a 360 just so my friends and I could play Street Fighter 4. That then spilled over into MVC3. Good times. Crazy it's been 15 years.

The 360 was definitely my favorite era of gaming. So many games I enjoyed on that system. Achievements were great and I'm still a trophy hunter on PS4. Xbox Live gave me a bunch of free games. Its the only time I ever got into online gaming. I had a lot of fun playing Gears of War 2 and RDR online. Also played some Borderlands, LFD2, and a few other games. No interest in any of the modern online games though.

NES to SNES transition. Was just mind blowing the improvements.

I feel like these threads always kinda line up generationally though.

Yes great times. Now I see way too many indie games that are crap. Nothing against indie games but they are to saturated

Definitely the best for football - NCAA up to 14 (choke on a bushel of dicks Ed Obannon) and Madden was still pretty fun.
