Time for a new one. It sorely needs updated, since we now have 3 years of games.
What you will find on this list:
- Good system exclusives
- Great multiplatform games
- Good XBLA games
- Niche games that are fan-favorites
What you won't find:
- Mediocre exclusives
- Good multi-plat games (PS3/Wii)
- Mediocre/Bad XBLA games (as deemed by the public
- Average mainstream games, or bad niche games.
Mrstickball's Methodology:
75%+ Exclusives via GameRankings.com aggregate (if not higher)
85%+ Non-Exclusives *if* I deem them proper for the list
XBLA games are subject entirely to my opinion.
