I really enjoy last weeks post where I spoke about my favourite video games growing up. Because I loved it so-oh-oh (yeah, I dunno what that was either), I wanted to do another one featuring my favourite Xbox 360 games.
I went a few years between video game obsessions. When I got the Xbox 360 about 5 years ago, I hadn’t been playing many video games since I lived in France in 2007 and bought a Nintento DS.
People ALWAYS ask me what my favourite games are and I can never pick just one. I end up listing a few, then this reminds me of more. Before I know it, I’ve ran out of fingers to count on.
So here we have it, my favourite games for the Xbox 360.
Assassins Creed 2.
I actually like the first and the second ones just as much as each other. I’m a sucker for collecting things, so had to go around and find all the flags to unlock the achievements.
I loved the Assassins games, but after playing the first 4, I started to get bored of how repetitive the quests are.
Also the the catacombs challenges are always so hard and stress me out. Ha.
Bioshock
I love all three of the Bioshock games. The storyline is amazing and I love how creepy they are. The little sisters, big daddies, adam, eve.. it’s so creative, a bit sick and so much fun to play.
The soundtrack of the game is perfect.
I’ve still to complete Bioshock Infinite though, but I’m about 95% through the game.
Fable 2.
I’m not sure if I prefer Fable 2 or 3. They’re both fun to play but Fable 2 was the first game I played on my Xbox and it has a special place in my heart.
I loved having the dog too.
This is basically my ideal game – it’s not too long, has plenty of optional things to do, such as collection items, and has a fantastic storyline. AND DOG.
Elder Scrolls // Oblivion
I sunk so many hours into this game. It’s the only game I managed to unlock every single achievement for, haha.
I actually got to the final before my character was strong enough, so had to go to a previous save point to level up to complete the game. Elder Scrolls is amazing. I’m also a massive fan of Skyrim, but I’ve not completed it!
Dragon Age 2
This is another game that is pretty much made for me, like Fable 2.
I played the first one, but found it quite confusing as there was A LOT to read. I get put off with too much reading. The second game was much less confusing and felt easier to figure out where to go next to progress. I spent a lot of time confused about what I should do next in the first one.
I also loved how you could build relationships with people and make them fall in love with you, haha.
This game was over too soon. I have the third game in the series but it seems to play more like the first one than the second and it isn’t holding my attention as much at all.
Batman Arkham Asylum
Is it bad to fancy a video game character? Ugh, Batman’s voice. I love him.
This game was visually appealing and just beautiful to play. The controls are so easy and the story line kept me interested throughout the whole game!
I bought Akrham City when it came out but I got to a point I was stuck at and I’m pretty sure it’s a glitch.
I love the Batman games though and I’m dying to play Arkham Knight.. but I’ve promised myself I need to play the games I have first!
What are your favourite games?
My favourite right now is definitely Tomb Raider, the two new ones! Really fun & the plot is always so interesting. I also play a lot of Burnout Revenge, even though I’m not a race game fan, because it can help get rid of frustration and anger and all that jazz
Ohh, I started playing one of the new ones and I do actually really like it!
I played Elder Scrolls on the PC and oh wow did I love that game! I never got very far in it, I loved exploring too much and would love to go back and play it some day! I’ve never really been into the Xbox, I could never get the hang of the controller for some reason! I was always a Playstation/Nintendo girl!

Saloca in Wonderland
Oh I love the xbox control and how it feels all chunky in your hands haha!
I love al three of the Fable games but I really do love the second one as well. The introduction to Reaver (my favourite character) was great and it made the third game so much better. I also loved the Rockband games on the 360 because I’m so musically untalented and this made me feel like I could actually do something haha! I’m so tempted to make my own list now ah x

Haha Rockband! I have them and the sing stars. So much fun when drinking with friends! I’ve never played the first Fable game. I did get that mini one they released to the Xbox market place but I didn’t get into it much.
They reminded me that video games are a form of art; the city of Rapture is gorgeous yet eerie, the soundtrack is beautiful and the characters are interesting.
