My sister is planning to take advantage of Microsoft's free Xbox 360 offer next week by buying a new Toshiba laptop at Best Buy. She doesn't game a whole lot, so the console is going to me. However, I am debating to either keep it or sell it. Personally, I already have a PS3, and I can't think of any good Xbox 360 exclusives to get besides stuff like Alan Wake, Halo, or Gears of War.

If I sell it, I think I can get back at least $140. Alternatively, I could keep the Xbox 360 and finally have an opportunity to play certain exclusives that I always wanted to play - like Alan Wake and Gears of War, for example.

Does the Xbox 360 have any good exclusives beyond these three franchises? Additionally, please don't mention Forza, since I am not into racing games at all.

Lost Odyssey

Fable 3 was pretty darn good.

Crackdown

Condemned

Tales of vesperia

Ninja Blade

Metro 2033

I know some of these games aren't exclusive.

But these aren't playable on PS3 and I don't know if you have a gaming rig.

Well you should really let her have the Xbox if you're going to sell it, or let her sell it.

But if you don't have a PC to play on then: Fable 2 + 3, Halo series, Gears Series, Banjo Kazooie: N &B, Viva Pinata, Splinter Cell Conviction, Alan Wake, and Left 4 Dead, plus a slew of other earlier in the gen games that didn't appear anywhere but 360 (dead rising, mass effect 1, etc)

But if you sell it you should really give your friend a cut of it.

Also, Limbo, Snoopy Flying Ace, Shadow Complex, Trials HD, A Kingdom/World for Keflings, among dozens of awesome arcade games

I don't get why people act like 360 has no exclusives.

What do you want? Racing? Get Project Gotham Racing or Forza Motorsport or Ridge Racer 6.

Platformers? Get Kameo or Banjo.

Fighting games? Get Dead or Alive 4.

RPGs? Get Tales of Vesperia or Lost Odyssey or Fable II or Blue Dragon.

Sim games? Get Viva Pinata.

Shmup games? Get Deathsmiles, Espgaluda II, Mushihimesama Futari or Wartech: Senko no Rondeor download any of the games available on the XBLA like Ikaruga or Guwange.

Flight games? Ace Combat 6 or Sylpheed.

Action games? Crackdown or Chromehounds.

Apparently there's this stigma that since MS has less exclusives planned this year than Sony that somehow there are NO exclusives on the system at all. Look at the genres you want and go from there.

Blue Dragon is a great game! So is Lost Odyssey. Another good exclusive JRPG is Magna Carta 2.

Not really, most of them are dated now. Only Gears, Halo and Forza get regular sequels. You can't go wrong with Gears and Halo though.

Best exclusive the 360 has is it's gamepad...blows the competition away.

Actually, 'cause I use it on my PC as well for some stuff does that make it MP?

nothing else that I know of, I'm not really interested in the 360, but if I got one for free, I'd definitely buy Gears 3 and Halo: Reach. I love gears and halo, but I'm not buying a console for 2 games since that's all I'm really interested in. There's still Fable though, and you could sell a 360 on Ebay for more than $150 (you could just not even open it if you want to sell it, and just sell it full price or a little bit less than full price). IMO it's a waste to just sell the console, I'd just keep it and get the games listed.

Crackdown 2 - Pretty Fun free-roaming game, and similar to the first. But you haven't played the first. It's all about the sandbox experience. Leveling up, new powers, collecting orbs, fun weapons, etc. Splinter Cell Conviction - You can find this for less than $30. It's different than the previous SC games, but its good in its own right. Try a demo on XBL if you want. Lost Odyssey - Excellent JRPG. Left 4 Dead 2 - Not on PS3, good zombie killing game. Metro 2033 All these games are less than $30 if you shop around. And the greatest thing about the Xbox 360, XBLA. Seriously, this thing is great. Cheap, fun great games: *Shadow Complex - Metroidvania type game. **** excellent. *Limbo, HydroThunder, Snoopy Flying Aces, Super Meat Boy, the list honestly does go on and on. You can download free trials of EVERY XBLA game. Try it out.

Other then what was mentioned............"The Outfit" was amazing when the multiplayer was still working. I have to this day never had so much fun with a multiplayer game. My Brother and I would play 2 on 2 for 8 months straight online and we were 6 and 8 on the leaderboards. Man I would love to see a sequal of that game.
