Time just flys by ..................... three years back on this very day i bought something that i never expected would amaze so much & become a huge part of my life , i am talking about The Xbox 360 , three years back i bought the xbox 360 after being waiting a lot for the PS3 to release :P

My all time favourite & most played console is the PS2 , i still love it , but by the time the Xbox 360 gen ends , its no secret that Xbox 360 will take that place , according to Microsoft , they are not even halfway through this gen , well i dont believe that at all ,according to crytek ceo This gen would last untill 2012 . w e ll see that , The 360 is out since 2005 & has huge success since its launch , with succesfull games like Halo 3, Gears of War 1 & 2 , Forza 2 , Fable 2 , Mass Effect & the biggest Strength of the 360 which is Xbox Live , the 360 has made its impact this gen & won manny hearts . it did everything right this gen , which was to satisfy gaming fans in the first place , by delivering quality AAA tittles & online experience which is unmatched till date . i may sound like a true ms fanboy here , but i am not :P.

I have all 3 current gen systems , the Wii being the latest & 360 being the oldest , i enjoy gaming whether it be on current gen platforms or handhelds or the pc . out of all my gaming platforms , none has ever amazed me the way the Xbox 360 did , thats coz it had games that suited my taste . here i would like to mention my top favourite Xbox 360 games that even till date i play .

Crackdown - This game was promoted heavily as an alternate way to enter the Halo 3 beta , just weeks before its release the demo was released & it was one of the finest demos to be released on XBL , with GTA IV nowhere to be seen , this game just amazed me just like a gta would , not only it was fun, but the rpg elements like powering up your charachter for higher jumps & gaining new abilities made this one an explosive experience like none in this genre ,plus with online co op , it was double the fun , cant wait for its sequel .

Forza 2 - untill Forza 2 arrived , i was a big fan of arcade racing games , i used to hate racing sims especially gran turismo , nfs & burnouts where my racing world , but all of it changed when this beauty arrived on the 360 , the graphics were just superb along with excellent sound & unmatched customization . but those are not just the reason that made me a fan of racing sims , it was Forza 2 s gameplay that amazed me , it was very approachable compared to other racing sims, i still remember my time , when i would just sit & play Forza 2 after work for hours & hours , upgrading it for better performance & customizing it accordibng to my taste , this game just made me a fan of racing sims , gran turismo should thank forza 2 for turning an aracde fan like me into a racing sim fan :P, with Forza 3 out soon, there is tons of racing awesomeness to be had on the 360.

Project Gotham Racing 4 - after forza i tried PGR 4 , now this was a mix of arcade & sim ,a fine balance between the two , i never really liked pgr 3 at all ,but with pgr 4 came bikes into play , since i am more of a bike lover than cars , pgr 4 amazed me with its amazing visuals , neat variery of tracks along with gr8 environments & a ton of cars & bikes to unlock ,some of my favourite bikes like the Suzuki GSX R Hayabusa made it even more fun , if you have still not placed this awesome racer yet , you ve missed 1 of the best racing games on the 360 .here s hoping for a pgr 5 someday with even more awesomeness :wink:.

Dead Rising - This would probably be the first batch of games that i boughtformy 360 & till date no game has ever gaved me the kinda goosebumps this game did , with an excellent plot , interesting charachters, amazing soundtrack , atmosphere , boss battles & super awesome variety of gameplay ,dead rising just impressed me & till date no adventure game on the 360 has ever come closer to me than dead rising ,there was only 1 save slot in game which made it tougher & frustrating at times , plus with multiple endings & a mall full of zombies everywhere , you had to be very wise to your saves & i think this is what made the game 1 hell of an experience that even after years i still play it when i have the time 4 it , make no mistake , if you love challenge & killing a ton of zombies, do yourself a favour , play dead rising at all cost .its simply awesome & 1 of the best on the 360 . Dead Rising 2 better release in 2010 .

Mass Effect - i ve never been a fan of rpg , have played very few of them & this game like others was lying in my to play list since years , some months back i finally got to play it ,since it was more of an action rpg , i enjoyed it a lot , the combat was gr8 along with really good lookin environments & a superb storyline with tons of dialogues , this game has a superb replaying value , its definately the best rpg on the 360 coz thats the only rpg i ever finished on the 360 ,rpgs are not kind , but mass effect made sure that i become a fan of rpgs as well ,cant wait for Mass Effect 2 .

. Gears of War - if there is anything that i ve enjoyed & played to death this gen , its none onther than the awesomeness known as Gears of War ,my 360 experience officialy kicked off with this game as i bought an HDTV along with this game ,not only it was the best looking game at that time , but the most badass thing i ever played , it was like a dream come true to see & play a stunning game like gears of war , till date i ve played its sp campaign in co op some 26 times , played its online close to dont even know how manny hours , not only just gears , but Gears 2 as well , not only it was a true sequel to the original , but improved everywhere it could & delivered a mind boggling experience that even till date i play it every night with my friends , there has been some problems with it online , but even with that , it remains my top dog this gen , not just me , but my friends list is full with gears fans , lag or not , the gameplay is just so dam amazing online that we are willing to play it whether its laggy or not .

its the awesomeness of gears that keeps bringing me back to it every now & then . i dont think any new ip this gen that has impressed me the way gears of war 1 & 2 did , if gears of war 2 was any example on the 360 , i cant even imagine the madness epic will bring with gear of war 3 . there has been some serious hype about other games this gen on other platforms & 360 as well , i ve played them all & all i can say is that Gears can have them all 4 breakfast , its just too big of a monster now , with the gears of war franchise , its very clear what made the 360 famous in the first place ,Halo did for the xbox , Gears for the 360 , its bigger , better ,more badass than ever & is here to stay on top this gen ,like it or not , atleast 4 me . i can talk about this & 1 more game all day . so time to wrap things up . hope u enjoyed everything................... oh ,wait, wait , wait . i forgot something .

Its the Mighty Halo 3 . how can i miss something that started all this Xbox online madness , Throughout these years , none has ever made an impact on me like Halo did, with Halo 3 , i got everything i wished for , a gr8 way to end a super legendary trilogy , an online experience second to none , an online community supported by millions .

Countless no of hours & years spent on its multiplayer ,Halo just keeps gettin better & bigger every time, with Halo 3 ODST Next Month & Halo Reach in 2010 , Halo is not done , The King of Kings may be resting , but i tell you 1 thing , when he returns , my world surely will pause for a while & i ll be in a different world,dont be surprised to see records being broken once again when the real HALO with the master chief arrives . i am proud to be a fan of such an awesome franchise throughout these years ,still more to come . thanks a lot Bungie & Microsoft for bringing the Halo awesomeness . here s hoping for the Chief S Return on the 720 someday :wink:.
