The Xbox 360 turns 20 on November 22, and it had many at Insider Gaming thinking about the time spent with Microsoft’s most popular console. From experiencing titles like Grand Theft Auto 5 for the first time to the peak of the Halo franchise, there were no shortage of great games released on the Xbox 360 that went on to become lifelong favorites.
So, some of the staff at Insider Gaming decided to have a little fun and put together lists of their favorite Xbox 360 games. Now, no one is saying these are the best games on the system. These are just the ones everyone had the most fun playing when they came out.
It’s always fun to look back at what was loved. And who knows, maybe there’s a game you might have forgot about that you want to revisit or play for the first time. Check out the staff’s favorites and leave your thoughts in the comments and over in the official Insider Gaming Discord.
