The best Xbox 360 games of all time

The finest titles ever to grace Microsoft's second console

Microsoft's best-selling console served up some seriously amazing games. Here are the seven best...

7. DARK SOULS

Not only is this darkly gothic quest one of the Xbox 360's toughest games, it's also one of the finest. In Lordran, you're looking at one of the most impeccably designed game worlds ever. 

6. RED DEAD REDEMPTION

Rockstar's melancholy cowboy classic really is the best in the West. More sincere and thoughtful than any GTA, its open world prairies capture a sense of time and place unlike any other game. 

5. BATMAN: ARKHAM CITY

The most well rounded game of Rocksteady's peerless Dark Knight trilogy. Not only is gliding around a chunk of Gotham great fun, but City boasts one of the boldest endings ever. 

4. THE ELDER SCROLLS V: SKYRIM

A fantasy RPG that will swallow your whole live if you let it. With hundreds of hours of engaging quests and a richly realized world, this is arguably the greatest game Bethesda has ever made.

3. PORTAL

What began as a student demo grew into one of the Xbox 360's most unforgettable games. Portal achieves an astoundingly rich atmosphere through a great script and clever puzzles.

2. BIOSHOCK

The way BioShock ties all of its gameplay elements into its haunting message, coupled with its incredible use of atmosphere, makes this an all-time Xbox 360 great. A watery wonder. 

1. MASS EFFECT 2

One of the best sequels of all time is also the very best game on Xbox 360. Expertly raising the stakes of the original and tightening every mechanic, this sci-fi RPG is an utter masterpiece.
