| We have a Favourite PS3 game topic, but not one for the 360.
As I said in the PS3 topic I'm going for a exclusive only title which is Gears Of War 2. |

| Probably Child of Eden with Kinect.
Though a lot of my favourites lie as XBLA downloads rather than retail games, so I'll have to get back to you on this one really. |

| I'd go with Alan Wake but I still need to pick up The Witcher 2 again (disk 2 was stolen) to see if I like that more. Right now though Alan Wake is just so damned god it stands above the rest with ease. |

| I'm gonna go for... Oblivion. After a while, I just took it for granted that the world carried on as it did. Skyrim was obviously more polished but more one-note.
After that I'd say Banjo Kazooie (the XBLA version of the original NOT Nuts n Bolts) |

| Perfect Dark had a pretty sound remake, too, though I was sad about the empty online lobbies by the time I got the game.
Poor Nuts and Bolts. That actually stood out as one of my favourite 360 games, but I thought its interface let itself down -- I never bothered building things, instead using the blueprints just because Rare seemed to make building as tedious as possible... |

| Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts is easily my favourite Xbox 360 exclusive. As for non-exclusives, it would be the Mass Effect Trilogy. |

| Nuts and Bolts would have been really well received had it not been marketed as a Banjo Kazooie game.
Also, obligatory posting of this whenever Nuts and Bolts comes up. |

Also, obligatory posting of this whenever Nuts and Bolts comes up. I think you would need to also get rid of the foot travel possibilities as well. It's clearly a relic of an original BK plan. [sarcasm]I mean - it's not like Rare are famous for changing ideas halfway through and leaving their initial thoughts in the game somewhat incongruously[/sarcasm] |

| I really feel like replaying Nuts and Bolts now. Wanted to play it online but by the time I bought it (£3.99 brand new at PCWorld in 2010) the servers were deserted.
I think the game's physics might have needed a little more tweaking too, as some objects didn't feel like they had the weight you'd expect from them. |

| I agree with the first post. Gears 2. That game, well Horde mode specifically, consumed most of my game time for a good few years. Most people prefer Horde 2.0 on Gears 3 but i couldn't get on with it. Preferred Beast mode.
Honorable mentions for Kameo, Viva Pinata and State Of Decay. |

| Gears 2 Horde mode was amazing. I've really fond memories of toughing it out on Wave 50 with a few mates, holed up in a dingy house cowering behind those shields you could plant in the ground. |

| I should really get going with Gears 2. I picked it up a few weeks back in Blockbuster's pre-owned sale for £1.50, and I've had it recommended to me by so many folks. It's more or less that only series on 360 of interest to me that I've yet to get round to.
Anyhoo, my favourite 360 game is Sonic Generations. I just can't speak highly enough of it. As far as exclusives go, it's either Forza 3 or Forza Horizon. |

| It's great! Don't know if there's a huge multiplayer scene for it now, but get a couple of mates and blast through the campaign and you'll have a top time.
I just realised I haven't said my favourite 360 game! I'll probably have to go with Lost Odyssey - the best pure RPG the system has to offer. |

| Last time I had a 360 which is about 12 month's ago I was still playing Gears 2 & 3 online. |

I'm not sure about the multiplayer scene but there are still plenty of people i know of who play Gears 2 Horde mode and when i last tried a couple of months back it was still pretty quick to get a game through matchmaking. |

| I'd probably say Flatout Ultimate Carnage or Super Meat Boy. Both have given me a ridiculous amount of fun. More so than any other games I've bought/had for the machine. |

| Only finally got around to buying a 360 last week. Never played one before...ever! Been playing Puzzle Quest (that game ate my life on the PSP) and remains as utterly brilliant as it ever was. Been flipping between that and Pinball FX 1 and 2. Got to say....its a cracking machine with a lovely controller. Was surprised at how well it sits in my hands. |

| With the 360 entering its twilight years, I think Dragon's Dogma, Dead Rising 2, Gears of War 3, Fallout 3 and Bioshock Infinite are my top five.
Ask me next week though and i'll probably say something different. |
