As far as Microsoft goes, the XBOX is something for them to be proud of. While the new Windows 7 operating system rivals what is thrown out there and the Microsoft Zune gives the iPod Touch a hard bargain, it was mainly the work of the XBOX that has uplifted Microsoft so far high in this age of gaming. Known for the superb graphics more than the accompanying game play, XBOX game makers have attempted to make it so much easier for others to compare their game play to the likes of the ones that the PlayStation has. As time has gone on, the Microsoft XBOX has done a great job keeping up with their games and making them exciting, well rounded, and playable for all. The best games released on the XBOX in 2010 are:
1. Max Payne 3 – While this game was released with great results on the PC, there would never be anything that matches up to a Max Payne release on an XBOX. The latest XBOX, the 360 version has this game is clear cut and high definition graphics. It is the classic Max Payne game once again with the intriguing new storyline and a much improved game play to accompany the always superb graphics. This has been a hot release and many have been there to help Max Payne in the latest release in the trilogy.
2. UFC Disputed 2010 – Where the XBOX and the XBOX 360 lacked in normal sporting events, they did not disappoint in regards to ultimate championship fighting. The same way that Sony and the PlayStation have an exclusive license and run the baseball video game sector; the XBOX 360 does the same thing. This UFC game brings back the most popular and current UFC fighters and bring them to life and in action in a way that has not been seen before.
3. Halo Reach: Holidays 2010: While it is not likely to come close to the celebration and the applause that the original Halo 1 and 2 received from critics on the original XBOX, the XBOX 360’s Halo Reach is a solid play and also a solid buy. All Halo fans would most assuredly be on this game as it encapsulates all the best features from the previous versions of Halo.
4. Final Fantasy XIII – Probably the most anticipated drop of 2010, this version of Final Fantasy did not disappoint, and for Microsoft to team up with Square Enix and pry away Final Fantasy from being exclusively dropped on the PS3, it was a quite remarkable job. This is a game that all Final Fantasy fans could possible enjoy as it is a continuation of the ever popular series. Also, those with just an XBOX 360 rather than a PS3 will have no gripe as they can enjoy too.
5. Splinter Cell: Conviction: Another release from Sony that made its way to Microsoft, this is a solid game for a Splinter Cell fans. While Conviction outshines its counterparts on the PS3 console graphics wise, it still looks up to it in the game play mode. Those who loved the first versions have liked this one likewise as it is a solid buy rather than the feared disappointment.
