Still Next-Gen After Two Years with Xbox 360 Video Games
Microsoft’s Xbox 360 has a user base of millions of gamers. That figure alone should be enough to convince any skeptic that the console is fun to play. However, the only way to truly enjoy the system is to purchase Xbox 360 games for entertainment. While the console’s Internet, movie, and music capabilities add to the overall value of the system as a home entertainment console, the true backbone of the system lies in its game library. There are several niche markets for Xbox 360 video games, but the more popular ones are bound to entertain you without a doubt.
Only a Few Exclusives
The biggest problem for many gamers about the Xbox 360 is that it only has a few exclusive Xbox 360 video game titles. Big titles like Grand Theft Auto IV and Bioshock have all come out on different platforms. Exclusive titles like the Playstation 3′s Metal Gear Solid 4 are big reasons why gamers might choose one platform over another. A recent example of the effects of exclusive titles came with Square Enix’s announcement that their upcoming game Final Fantasy XIII will no longer be a Playstation 3 exclusive. As Final Fantasy XIII will now be coming out also as an Xbox 360 video game, many gamers who might have purchased a Playstation 3 may decide to go with the Xbox 360 instead.
Shooter fans are bound to love Halo 3 and Gears of War, while RPG gamers are not left out in the cold with Xbox 360 video games. The RPG enthusiast will find Fable 2 and Age of Conan to their liking. Other big titles like Call of Duty 4, Mass Effect, and Bioshock will appeal to a large variety of players. To be able to play these games though, gamers will need an Xbox 360 game system. The current 20 Gb model is being sold at $300, while the new 60 Gb vesion will once again cost $350 (what the 20 Gb model cost until recently). With the system, gamers will be able to experience Xbox 360 video games in full HD 1080i (with support for 1080p). That’s the absolute best that gamers can ask for with the current generation of televisions, although computer monitors are capable of displaying slightly higher resolutions.
With so many Xbox 360 games already available and more coming out each year, gamers will find their experience with the Xbox 360 to always be exciting. All of the big genres are covered, even strategy games which have traditionally been a bastion of PC gaming. However, Microsoft develops both the Xbox platform and Windows, so gamers can expect a lot of crossover titles between the two platforms. For example, Xbox 360 games such as Bioshock, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and Gears of War all appear on the PC as well. This allows gamers with incredibly fast PCs to experience even more amazing graphics, which all gamers can have affordable gameplay with the Xbox 360 pro system.
