Xbox Games

What continues to make the Xbox one of the top systems around is its incredible game selection. Although the PlayStation 2 may offer more exclusive franchises, Xbox games win out for their shimmering graphics and short loading times. Take a look at the best of the bunch. Top Rated Xbox Games (From GameSpot.com)
Halo: Combat Evolved

Grand Theft Auto Double Pack

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3

Burnout 3: Takedown

Ninja Gaiden Black

Halo 2

Essential Titles

FIFA 07 : Love soccer? The world's most popular sport gets its game on. And this is video game that comes closest to emulating the appeal.

World Soccer Winning Eleven 9 : ...Except, maybe, for this game. The FIFA vs. Winning Eleven debate is just as contentious as the Democrats vs. Republicans tiff. You've gotta play both before you make up your mind.

Halo 2 : Take an informal poll, and at least one out of every five Xbox owners will admit that they own their machines simply because of this awe-inspiring robot and alien war franchise. Skip the Halo games at your own peril.

Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones : The ongoing desert-set saga features its jumpmaniac, sword-wielding hero who sets to dethrone the evil Jafar. Uh, never mind -- that was Aladdin. Serious-minded and solemn, this is no Disney musical.

The Warriors : The 1970s cult classic gangfight film gets the Rockstar treatment (meaning, a game adaptation made by Rockstar, the company responsible for the brilliant Grand Theft Auto franchise). The game packs slick fighting, cool old-school urban themes and really, really big hair.

Blitz: The League : Football fans booed when Electronic Arts locked down the exclusive NFL license for its Madden franchise, but they cheered when the agreement freed up Midway to make this rowdy, no holds barred pro football sim. Performance-enhancing drugs, megalomaniacal coaches, slutty cheerleaders -- this game has got it all.

College Hoops 2K7 : If the doctor has diagnosed you with March Madness, this is the game for you. It's got every Division I men's basketball program, accurate rosters and of course the Big Dance. If you have to ask what the Big Dance is, don't get this game.

Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition Remix : Yet another Rockstar title, the Midnight Club street racing series matches spectacular graphics with smooth racing design. The fully customizable cars are what really revs gamers' engines.

Ninja Gaiden Black : Only a true ninja can hack and slash his way through this supremely difficult redux of 2004's Ninja Gaiden. Stunning backdrops and frightening enemies make this one the supreme samurai adventure game.

Black : Like an action flick crammed into a video game disc, this one is all about mindless shoot-em-ups, eyebrow-torching explosions and frenetic action. If you like the movie The Rock, this is one game to check out.
