The 23 Best Xbox 360 Games Ever Made

"Fondly remembered as one of the best game consoles of all time, the Xbox 360 had an absolutely massive library of excellent games. With more than 2,000 titles released for the platform over its roughly eight year lifecycle, whittling down the library to its best games wasn't an easy task. We're looking back at the Xbox 360's glory days with the 23 best Xbox 360 games of all time (in alphabetical order)."

"The 2011 follow-up to Visceral's sci-fi horror hit Dead Space continues Isacc Clarke's journey of mental suffering and battling against alien horrors. The Sprawl space station offers new abandoned and destroyed environments to cut down Necromorphs in. While it does feel similar to the original, the continuation of Isacc's story and the further destruction of his mental state means even more intense scares. Dead Space 2 is playable on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S via backwards compatibility."

"Bethesda Game Studios' open-world RPG The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is now available on basically every platform under the sun, but its origins date back to the Xbox 360 era. The game was released in November 2011 and few could have predicted the bonafide phenomenon that it would become. Directed by Todd Howard and the winner of many Game of the Year awards, Skyrim was praised in part for its open-ended structure that allowed players to venture through a fantastical world full of monsters and magic."

While the original Xbox introduced Microsoft to consoles, the Xbox 360 elevated the company with a widely celebrated generation. The console holds a massive library of more than 2,000 titles across an approximately eight-year lifecycle, making selection of standout games challenging. A curated list identifies 23 standout Xbox 360 games presented alphabetically. Many of those titles remain playable on Xbox One and Xbox Series X, and several have received remasters with updated visuals and mechanics. Notable examples include Dead Space 2, which intensifies Isaac Clarke's psychological and alien-horror struggles, and Skyrim, an award-winning open-world RPG praised for its open-ended structure.
