Top 10 Xbox 360 games according to me! (Final)

Well it took me long enough to actually continue this list but a few things happened over the last .. er .. 3 days? I can't remember but here I am to quench your list bearing thirst by giving you my top 3 games!

3. N+


Yes, I know it's an arcade game. Yes, I kno-, wait let m- ALRIGHT ALRIGHT, I'LL EXPLAIN WHY.

First of all, I've always wanted to love a 2d adventure game with enough testosterone to cover the sun so whilst I was in my Halo 3 era, I came accross something where you could be a ninja and eat gold.

Being the insufferable little rouge that I am, I instantly went out, got some points and bought this little gem.

I came.

Seriously, it's addictive. It's frustrating. It's everything it says it is. You can't do this game in one shot, it's huge and it takes a level of skill only known by most NASA technicians for some levels. Trust me on this, it's delicious. It's a bit old right now and there's a free online version just called "N" but N+ is really worth your money, I'll put my balls on the line.

Unless you've got some form of anger management problems, this game runs the risk of you putting you TV through but it is very fun to play with friends, I've had some good times on this game and it even appealed to one of my non-gaming ex-girlfriends so if it appeals to a girl then it must be worth it, right?

Just buy it. 'Nuff said.

2. The Last Remnant


I REALLY regret letting go of this game. It actually hurts. In fact, I'm going to scour the online shopping places and buy the copy.

If it's cheap enough as I'm literally dirt poor right now as I <3 online shopping.

And it's not cheap anyway. Balls. I'll have to wait until I come across some more expendable income i.e. everything I make. Probably buy about 15 other JRPGS whilst I'm at it as I am a whore for that genre.

Back on topic, as stated before on the Dynasty Warriors listing, I really do like games where you can command your troops but also be in the battle as well, not from a top down view and this fits well. You start off as one guy and as you progress, you build up a bigger army and then command them, move them and tell them what to do. Again, I'm heavily baised when it comes to this genre and this style of gameplay but if you're a sucker for these, like I am, I have to say that this is the best one that I've played out of every JRPG game. Well, every JRPG Xbox 360 game, FF8 still holds number 1 in my book.

1. Halo Reach


Ohh, I cannot wait for the bombardment of COD fanboys who though MW3 was number 1. Oh, not on your nelly.

The Halo franchise is one of my favourite franchises. I've played others like Call of Duty, Medal of Honour, Gears of War but out of all of them, I find Halo the most challenging. You have a shield that needs to be worn down. In COD, the quickest shot counts. In Medal of Honour, same applies. Gears of War, it's about wearing your opponent down or getting close enough to initiate an instant take down.

With Halo, every shot counts. They don't go down in one hit. You need 4 shots from a DMR, fires a single bullet, to the head to take them out. 4 precise shots. You need to know your weapon. The Assault Rifle is a spraying gun and it takes a full clip to take a person out. So you need to make sure that your reticule, which for the AR is quite big, stays on your target who's strafing and knocking your aim off shooting back at you.

The games just challenging. You need to make every shot count, no matter the weapon. A lot of luck is involved when it comes to Halo but every weapon needs to be mastered to be effective with it.

Another thing that makes Halo shine is the ability to make your own maps, download user created maps and make up your own gametype from scratch. The freedom you get is quite good for a shooting game. You can customise your character with armour and s*** but that's just for the side bits. Rank progression is now based on how much you play and how well you play.

There's loads more stuff I could say about this game but I wont to save your eyes from me rambling on as to why I think Halo gives you the most challenge. I still like playing other shooters but this is my favourite game of all time and the only thing that'll knock it off my list is Halo 4.

Well, that's my list. Thanks for reading it, chaps, I do like the attention, saves me having to camwhore all over my Facebook page asking people if I'm cute then saying "DON'T BE SILLY, NO AM NOT"

Ciao, Squeers.

Top 10 Xbox 360 games according to me!

It had to happen. I mean, come on, from the last 14 blog posts, all I did talk about was how the industry was effected WELL **** YOU, THIS IS ABOUT ME FOR A CHANGE so here is my list of 360 games in which I luuuurrrvvveeee.

10. Way of the Samurai 3

I think I mentioned in the last blog post that I LOVE unheard gaming gems and this could be one of them. You're a samurai and you can do whatever the **** you want. You don't have to follow the storyline and even when you do follow it, there's about 26 endings you can get. Not to mention that you can build your own weapons and name them something like "The Penetrator" and make your character attack with a forward thrust with a blunt edge until they just commit to you and fall to the floor, it's delicious.

There isn't a lot to explore but it doesn't matter in this game as there's so much to discover and find out that it makes up for this shortcoming for pure exploration. For instance, a guy will turn up in the morning that you can recruit and he'll fight beside you on the 4th day but any other time or day, you'll miss him and he'll never turn up again. It's things like these that make you want to find everything out about the game  that will keep you coming back for more. I know I'm not tired of it and I've played the hell out of it, mainly due to how attached I am to the penetrator but that's my reason.

9. Mass Effect 2

Yes, this isn't a gem but it's still delicious. The Mass Effect series is known for its re-playability and the fact that your story continues from the previous games and as I have yet to play and cream over Mass Effect 3 which isn't out yet, 2 will have to do. Ha, ryhmed.

The combat system is quite desirable but it works well. It's a third person shooter but it works, it's unique in ever way. It's fun to play but the selling point would have to be the story. I doubt you'l ever have the same playthrough so the re-playability is excellent. I just love this game as I can't seem to trade it in. I can't. I know number 3's coming out so I can't get rid of it. I'll buy Mass Effect 1 when I get the chance, even though I've had many chances so SHUT UP ALRIGHT.

ahem.

So yeah, Mass Effect is a game of its own and I would recommend it. From what I hear, the third one should have this slogan. SHEPARD F**** EVERYTHING.

8. Dead Rising 2

Now I love this game. I love the single player, I love the multiplayer but for some reason, I always leave it for ages and never play it. I don't know why, this game is amazing but I think it's because the game puts me under stress. You have to do things before the timer runs out which is fine but I like going off and doing side quests and I can't when the main storyline has a timer to get there for it.

But this is about why I love it.

Zombies, +1. Customisable weapons. +1. Psycopaths. +1. You earn yourself money by playing online. +10000000000000000000.

F****** GENIUS. I love games who incorporate multipayer with single player ad I do love single player games and when I earn my way on a single player by unlocking everything, I don't like starting out AGAIN on the multiplayer so I like this. It's the opposite, the money you win on the multiplayer, your single player gets but it still makes me ROCK HARD. I need to play this but duty calls.

7. Dynasty Warriors 7

Ha, just noticed that the 7th choice is the 7th game of the series.. I'm way too amused at the smallest things.

Speaking of being amused by the smallest things, I'm a dedicated Dynasty Warriors fan. I've owned every single game in the franchise. I love Hack n' Slash games. I really do. Dynasty Warriors 2 was the first PS2 game I touched and I remember bugging my dad to buy me it. I was blown away, launched into a world full of troops I could mow down.

5 sequels later and I have Dynasty Warriors 7. What is has is something the 6th instalment didn't. An improved Dynasty Warriors 5 fighting system. People who have played the games, like me, will understand what I'm saying. It's just better, they made quite the sequel, plus they added an extra faction which the other games didn't have. In this one, you can choose your favourite character and give them whatever weapon you want. Some are better with others and some aren't. However, a specific weapon is needed to perform a special move called an EX move so it's always best to keep your main weapon in your hands as you can switch between two weapons freely.

Story is always the same yet they added a lot more stuff. I'm forever waiting for the Empires side games as I love commanding everything. I'll probably be the only one camping outside my local Game just so I can get the first copy.

Yes, I'm that dedicated. **** you.

I'll continue this list in the next blog post.

Ciao, Squeers.
