When I wasn't gaming or doing the hundreds of other things I need to do, I made a list! Although if I'm being honest, making a list was not nearly as exciting as I thought it was going to be.
So, getting straight to the point, here it is...
2008
GTA 4
Fable 2
Fallout 32009
Borderlands
Resident Evil 5
Assassins Creed 22010
Bioshock 2
Alan Wake
Halo: Reach
Castlevania
Fallout: New Vegas
Assassins Creed: Brotherhood
Mass Effect 2
Red Dead Redemption
2011
Dark Souls
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Crysis
LA Noir
Batman: Arkham City & Origins
2012
Halo 4
Mass Effect 3
Borderlands 2
Assassin's Creed 3
Hitman: Absolution
Dishonored
Lego: Lord of the Rings
XCom
Far Cry 3
I decided to stop at 2012 because of the release of the Xbox One. Any games released after 2012 I will likely pick up for that, so there is no need to waste time and money on that now.
Being completely honest, I'm a little disappointed. This is my only first run at the list, but do you notice anything? There are a LOT of sequels. Also I figured my first pass would yield a HUGE list. I'm definitely going to spend a little more time on it.
My process was pretty simple and a little arbitrary- I simply googled 'Best Xbox Games of 20XX' and checked out a few of the lists. I didn't just go through them completely blindly picking the games- but I did pick only the games I thought I would enjoy. I need to figure out a better method because I can't play EVERY game that came out those years, but I still need to come up with a better variety than this.
I'm also forgoing any of the Call of Dutys- only because their campaigns are crap. I'm looking for single player only- no multiplayer. That makes this a little more difficult since so many games these days are based on their multiplayer.
Oh well, I'm going to take a crack at it tomorrow and see what I come up with. Feel free to send in suggestions and comment if you feel I've missed something- I'm sure I have.
