Why is this surprising? Nintendo and Sony take dumps all over MS from a gaming perspective. MS knows how to market and make shlt loads of money though. Drakan11

Edit* I deleted one sentence because I remembered this thread is 1st Party Only. This is still based on Gamespot's reviews.

Edit 2*
1 = 10/10
T2 = 9.5/10
3 = 9.1/10
T4 = 9.0/10
T5 = 8.8/10
T6 = 8.5/10
T7 = 8.0/10
8 = 7.8/10
T9 = 7.5/10
T10 = 7.0/10

The big 3 are the dominant games on the system but it does have some other nice exclusives in a wide range of genres. Ok the first one is humorous but there are some very nice games/series on the list. I know some of these aren't 1st party but your list has Gears and Alan Wake which also aren't 1st party so I will assume you meant to say exclusive.

Perfect Dark Zero - AAA :? :lol:

Fable - AA series

Dead Rising - AA

Ace Combat 6 - AA

Dead or Alive 4 - AA

Dance Central - AA series

Kameo - AA

Banjo Kazooie: N&B - AA

Project Gotham - AA series

Viva Pinata - AA

Ridge Racer 6 - AA and a favorite of Kaz Hirai :lol:

Lost Odyssey - personal favorite :)

The diversity is.... Amazing.

In no particular order, the ten best first-party games from Microsoft this generation:

1) Halo Reach

2) Halo 3: ODST

3) Halo 3

4) Gears of War

5) Gears of War 2

6) Gears of War 3

7) Forza Motorsport 2

8) Forza Motorsport 3

9) Forza Motorsport 4

10) Alan Wake


I love Halo, so it's not a problem for me. Gears of War is alright. I loved Alan Wake, too. Forza is the best racing sim on consoles, but i'm not a fan of racing games in general. So what's the point of the thread? Microsoft has been weak this gen, no matter which way you slice it. They've literally rotated between a Halo release and Gears of War release, with a Forza game now and then for good measure. Other than that? For a maker of a major games console, that's a pretty pathetic contribution to its health and popularity.

Nah it's a 360 game. Sometimes I make mistake like that though. It does seem such a long time since Forza 2 came out.

Xbox exclusives = *yawn*

ZombieKiller7

Really?

I have enjoyed games like fable 2, halo 3, odst, forza 3 etc alot.

by the way did anyon catch the criteria for the ""top ten"" cause I'm counting atleast 5 games or so missing.. or that is that should have been added in some where.

Forza 2 released in 2007 on the 360.cainetao11

Beaten to punch. I thought it came out eariler than that but you are right i just checked. May, 2007. The same year as Bioshock and Mass Effect but earlier in the year which is probably why I thought it came before 2007 as my clearest memories of gaming that year were from those two games.

Rare developed three great and unique games this gen.

GRAW was my **** when I first got my X360.

I enjoyed Fable 2 my first time through, although I admit I tried to play it again and got bored.

Lost Odyssey was a cool game, personally not into JRPGs myself though.

and finally, while I'm in a small minority, Too Human was one of my favorite games this gen.

So yeah, I'm pretty sure I've played exclusives on the X360 with more variety. I'm also not sure what your criteria is for 'top' exclusives. Sales? It's not Microsoft's fault people like what they like. Although I will say, I would not have gotten a PC unless I wasn't completely satisfied with my X360. I don't even pay for Live anymore.

Lost Odyssey was 3rd Party developed by Microsoft owns the IP.

But Rare and Lion Head are both 1st Party studios as they are wholly owned by Microsoft.

So just a bunch of shooters with a bad wannabe heavy rain and a boring driving game?

This is why I went to the PS3, it's games are SO much better. Especially the graphics, I haven't seen anything on 360 that can match Uncharted or Killzone or God of War yet.

Of course graphics don't make a game, they make the game better. Something 360 owners don't understand, they've never played games with great graphics before.

And KZ3 actually sold pretty decent, not Halo numbers or anything but sales don't determine quality do they? COD sold better than Halo, so obviously COD is the better game right (which yes it obviously is). You must love Justin Beiber because he sells so many albums right?

Probably, after all XBL is mostly made up of racist 12 year old kids who have bad high pitched voices like Justin Beiber. And your probably one of them. Don't feel too bad, someday you'll grow up and get the money to buy a PS3 for yourself and you'll look back and realise that the 360 was a waste of time.

Oh and KZ > Halo, better gameplay and is more advanced. It's hard to go back and play Halo after playing KZ3, it's like driving a ferarri and then driving a Mini Van, sure the Mini Van is more popular (like Halo) but it doesn't have the luxery or horse power as the Ferarri (like Killzone).

The Ferarri is made for a different select group of people (like Killzone) while the Mini Van is made for everyone (like Halo). Don't get mad at me, this is just how it is bro.

And PS3 can do great graphics like PC can, why do I need a PC then? Killzone and Uncharted are about on same level as Crysis and Witcher 2 on PC (and look better in some areas).

Here:

Uncharted 3 Desert Village Gameplay (HD)

The Witcher 2 - PC Gameplay (Max Settings, HD)

Killzone 3 Walkthrough Part 6 in HD [Killzone PS3 Gamepla

Crysis 2 - PC Gameplay Max Settings [Full HD]

As you can see, not much of a difference. PC may take the edge, but the edge isn't very big. PS3 can do great graphics too. And in some areas PS3 games look better, like the charecter models and particle affects.

Even upcoming PS3 games prove my point even more:

God of War: Ascension -IGN - Multiplayer Killing Spree [HD]

The Last of Us -IGN - The Truck Ambush Trailer

See right up there with PC.

I don't generalise, I have proof. Here one of my British PSN friends made a video that proved it.

Here:

PS3 vs XBOX 360 - ULTIMATE DEBATE

It's the ultimate proof, hands down. PS3 is better and Xbox is less mature. Like I said, one of my English friends made the video, he is cool guy we play on Uncharted 3 all the timne, and he isn't biased at all. I know from first hand experience.
