The Ultimate Xbox 360 Game Reccomendation Thread

[mrstickball]

OK. I am updating this with pictures, and better discriptions of games, and the like. Each post will be a new genre for the X360. For the games that make the cut, I am using a mix of popular games, exclusive games, and niche games. Feel free to add suggestions. Ultimately, this thread isn't just for the Gears of War type games (the sure-fire games), but the smaller ones that many may have missed, that are in that lucious back catalogue of games.

Games will be listed at the start of the thread, and then pictures w/ writeups will follow.

 

Master List: Bold Denotes an Exclusive of Some Degree

Why bold certain X360 exclusives? Because if you own another console, you may not have played these games, and need to try them.
