10 Halo 3

The Last Truly Great Halo Game

It's hard to express just how monumentally game-changing and influential the original Halo trilogy was. All three instalments evolved 🍰console FPS games, and Halo 3 was the cherry on top. Still a great feeling FPS game to play, it innovated voice chat features🥃 that would dominate the 360 era, but also introduced Forge mode.

7 Call Of Duty: Black Ops 𝓡🍎

The Ultimate Classic COD Zombies Game

Call of Duty is most famous for its traditional multiplayer, but Zombies mode has also become a trademark series staple, especially in the Treyarch instalments. There's debate over whether 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Black Ops 1 or 2 was the best Zombies mode of the 360 era, and while Black Ops 2 had some of the greatest maps, Black Ops 1 has the besꦿt total package.

6 ൩ Left 4 Dead 2

One Of The Greatest Xbox 360 Games Period

The Xbox 360 generation was the booming era of zombie titles, with so many released in a given year. The 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:best z🀅ombie game to come from this era has to be 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Left 4 Dead 2.

You Can Never Go Wrong With Spies Vs. Mercs

Multiplayer stealth games don't get enough love, and the Xbox 360 has a couple of truly excellent ones. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Splinter Cell has always had stellar multiplayer with the famous Spies vs. Mercs game mode, and it returned in Splinter Cell: B🍎lacklist.

Surprisingly, the online still wor⛄ks on 360, even though the servers were supposed to shut down at the end of 2022.

4 Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

An Underappreciated Multiplayer Gem

One thing that would be awesome to see return to the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Assassin's Creed franchise would be the multiplayer. It's been absent for nearly a decade but was simply amazing when it was around. The traditional stealth multiplayer worked a bit similar to Gmod: Guess Who if you've ever played that.

A group of players would drop into a map with the goal of killing another player target. The problem here is finding them, as they'll blend into the crowd, and you'll also want to do special kills for more points. In Mario Kart fashion, the person in first place is punished by being targeted by more players. It was always a blast, and sadly, no longer online.

The online and local play was of such high quality that the 360 was the primary platform used in tournaments, unlike future titles, which are primarily played on PlayStation.

1 Minecraft

Minecraft's Console Debut
