Amazingly, it’s now been a whole three years since I purchased my Xbox 360 unit. I went a while without it thanks to the dreaded red ring of death, but that’s another story that I’ll save for another day. For now, we’re going to focus on the good, which is the games. These have nothing to do with the hardware maker so I hold no grudges!

5. Halo 3. A classic in its own right, I can stay up for hours on end playing this game. It’s truly dangerous when you think about how much time it can take out of a day (or night). I try not to think about it, because it’s simply too much fun.

4. John Madden ‘10. What can I say? I’m a sucker for the Madden series and beginning with last year’s game, EA Sports finally got it right. Madden is awesome, and Madden ‘10 is naturally better than those versions from years past, so Madden ‘10 gets my #4 vote as far as best Xbox 360 games ever go.

3. Fight Night Round 3. A classic boxing game that came out right after the launch of the Xbox 360 console. Somehow, it still feels just as new and relevant today. How many games can you say that about four years later? Enough said.

2. Call of Duty 4. The very definition of online play was changed with this game, and it was all for the better. Multi-player gaming was never as fun as it was once this game came out, and I still can’t think of a game I’d rather play online.

1- Rock Band. I think I’ve played more of this game than any video game I’ve ever owned since college. Whether I’m on the guitar, wailing away on the drums, or even singing (very occasionally), I’m always having a blast when I’m playing Rock Band. The ideal game for having friends over too!
