No, you can't. Those are XBLA games, which is not the same as true 360 games. Also Gears (1) is multiplatform, as is Fable. They don't count. You can only count Halo and Forza.

True story!


Halo 1+2 and possibly wars were all on the PC I should point out and lets not forget that Forza one was on the original Xbox a different console entirely so none of those series is truely 360 exclusive!!!

Actually, that is true! Xbox was a different platform and halo was available on pc too. Can't count those. I guess there is nothing left.


technically the 360 controller is the games for windows live PC controller too! so it doesn't even have a exclusive controller



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

I guess only exclusives count as the measure of a platform to some people. Personally what I find annoying is how people count the impact of exclusives looking backwards and not forwards, I.E. games like Bioshock/Mass Effect etc aren't exclusive now but when they came out they were important/had an impact even if you can't call them exclusives anymore.

Bioshock could never be called an exclusive. Mass Effect was a timed exclusive though, so I guess you have a point there.

Didn't Bioshock release much earlier on the 360 than on PS3?

Edit: I checked and it was released on 360 a full year before the PS3 version.

It was a 360/PC game from the start.

Silly pezus! Everybody knows that PC doesn't count.

Yes they count. 360 fans already praise these many titles from XBLA. Sony fans are just more vocal about it and then go so far as to saying xbox has no games so i understand the annoyance. They also like to disregard console exclusives although majority of console owners don't have a gaming PC specially early on in the generation. They also like to ignore timed exclusives etc.

The thing is people will make there own rules to try and justify why they are right but yes XBLA probably has the best arcade games with steam coming in 2nd. Although steam prices them better.

I'm not sure I understand. I've heard Trials and Shadow Complex talked about on the 360 side of the ledger since I re-entered the world of console gaming. After that, it was Castle Crashers, and Limbo got a massive amount of hype. I even heard people saying Limbo should be nominated for GotY. I don't think that anyone would deny that XBLA games are a large amount of the 360's draw, perhaps more than the mainstream games to some people.

In that context, I don't see why anyone would mind that PSN games are getting buzz now. The key point is that these games get hyped, not because they're on XBLA or PSN, but because they are QUALITY GAMES that a lot of people have enjoyed. As a big fan of smaller, downloadable games, I'm glad to see them get recognition, no matter where they are released.


I agree wit your second statement, they are quality games but what he is saying is the constant things you hear from sony fans about how xbox has no games.  Well this year Sony had no games so you hear sony fans say well we have Journey with a 92 metacritic.  Well the thing is they ignore these games on XBLA and usually XBLA has multiple 88-90+ metacritic games a year.  What i think he is saying is people should give credit where it is due

Yes, because only Sony fanboys bait, right?  I really, really dislike the "X fans say this" generalizations.  It's dishonest.  People take a handful of the worst forum-goers and then magically transform them into every single fan of a particular system.

Honestly, how would you like it if I took the things sales2099 posts and turned them into "this is how Xbox fans are" or "this is how Xbox fans behave"?

Dude sales2099 is ridiculous haha but I see less of that than what I do with sony one here.  i can name at least 5 people off the top of my head who will come in every thread and just praise, defend, everything sony.  I dont see that nearly as much with nintendo, and well MS is pretty nonexistent on this site lol.  Other sites it may be vice versa but not on this site.

Well at least I'm not alone in that regard. I think we need to focus more on sticking to rules when a thread isn't about a comparison, but just praise. Keep it praise or disagree with such praise, but no comparisons if the OP isn't about that. (This is in the rules and has not been remotely enforced).
