I know that this list is Jirard's own top 10 and I'm not gonna say "This list needs Lost Odyssey, Forza Horizon, Fable" etc. But I'm gonna say Jirard needs to play Lost Odyssey, Forza Horizon and Fable. Especially Lost Odyssey.
Having loved Fable 2 and hated Fable 3 as a kid, I find it strange how my taste in gaming has been since then. After replaying both, Fable 2 might be my least favorite game in the main series with some of my least favorite side content (and a solid main campaign.) Fable 3 is severely underrated I feel, and it has so many great side quests as well as a solid story as well. I am so sorry to those that I offended in what I said about Fable 2.
Some of these games are so nostalgic to me one way or another, but Viva Pinata will forever have a special place in my heart no matter what. I used to spend hours upon hours on that game as a kid and I wish I could still do that.
If you enjoyed alan wake, i highly recommend watching twin peaks. That whole game was a love letter to that show. Shamelessly steals iconic scenes from the show multiple times, its great
1. Halo 3 2. Dead Rising 3. Fable 2 4. Mass Effect 5. Halo Reach 6. Kingdoms of Amalur 7. Gears of War 8. Halo Wars 9. Rise of the Tomb Raider 10. Kinect Sports
I saw the title, and somewhere in the back of my mind, I was like "Wow... y'know, someday, Jirard will complete so many games, he'll make "The top 360 Xbox 10 games", once we get the 10th Xbox console..."
@Andrew Vester Naw, Xbox X, because we had the Xbox, Xbox One, Xbox One X, Xbox Series X, so of course, gotta go with Xbox X. ... And it comes in an Xbox X Box!
@Andrew Vester I dunno, man. Doesn't seem likely for them to stop making consoles if they keep selling as well as they've been selling, and since Xbox is part of Microsoft's "Brand", it's hard to imagine them abandoning the name.
@Andrew Vester I dunno. If this was a company that didn't produce a metric shit-ton of not only games and consoles, but console "expansions", accessories like headsets, controllers, etc., I'd find that a lot easier to believe... But I _do_ see where you're coming from, and honestly, I kinda hope you're right. A Gamepass would, at least on the surface, be best for the gaming community, but this _is_ Microsoft, and assuming they'd do what's best over what's profitable and has been profitable for the past 20 years, I have my obvious doubts... also, this year will mark 20 years since the original Xbox came out. Jeez... Can't even sit on the porch and yell at kids 'cause of this pandemic. Tch.
I almost cant believe that Castle Crashers wasn't in there. That game was HUGE during the 360 console cycle. I remember playing that through multiple times with friends over the years. We still even go back to it on steam all these years later.
Xbox 360 is my favorite modern console, aside from the Switch. it had THOUSANDS of games waiting to be played and even was backwards compatible with the OG Xbox's library, adding even more games to enjoy on it. the controls were smooth and the online service was dope! not to mention the Achievement System... that console turned me into a Completionist.
@@ebenezerspludge8369 yeah Xbox One is pretty lackluster and i'm not even interested in the X Series at current, which is sad considering how i felt that the Xbox 360 ruled the market for a decade, like the PS2 did.
@@UltimateGamerCC Yeah, Same here. I always played things on Xbox first but now they just want me to pay monthly for games I will never own. I'd rather just buy a game and play it when I want.
It's amazing how well it aged. The games on there still feel modern and all the online services are still going strong. Plus there's so much I still havent played on it.
@@WheatIey Agreed. I love the fact that when a game needs an update it's usually like 50 MB and all the games can be played off the disc so no need to install. I get they needed a larger file size than 9.4 GB but sitting and waiting for a game to install seems like a step backwards to me. The Switch had the right idea for this gen.
Blue Dragon was one of the few games on early 360 that was just compelling enough for me to unlock all achievements. Although when I finished I never once went back to it. Maybe its time for a revisit. 🤔
It's actually wild how many Halo titles were released on the 360, especially when you realize that the Xbox One only ever got the MCC, Halo 5, and Halo Wars 2 in it's entire lifetime.
Sad to see Lost Odyssey isn't on the list, is such an underrated game and his quality is so amazing that basically people called the real Final Fantasy XIII
I'm actually about to go back to Lost Odyssey and finish it on Xbox One, as I was an impatient 17 year old and never finished it. Now at the ripe old age of 28 I'm actually getting round to it 😂
@@RunnyElephant44 Yeah, if you didn’t know it’s one of those cases that is a shame but not so bad after all - the makers got the rights so tied up with Microsoft that they basically needed their blessing to keep doing Alan Wake properly which they never really got. And Quantum Break’s ambition and the consequences of its kinda disappointing reception took up a LOT of their ability to produce stuff. But they got ‘em back recently! Also,look into the Alan Wake 2 teaser/ARG that happened a while ago. It was really barely vaguely connected as I recall, didn’t go anywhere, but its intriguing to try and guess where the heck they had hoped to go with it!
SO GOOD I now may have the problem of my expectations being too high for whatever follows. Did we EVER find out what was up with his FBI nemesis? He was bizarrely obsessed.

I’ve been playing games since 1990. I’ve played a ton of great games on multiple consoles And the Xbox 360 is by far my favorite. Honestly I really like that console generation in general but the 360 is my favorite of the group it just seemed like they had it figured out it’s a shame they didn’t keep it going.
they got too greedy and decadent, pitching the xboxone as a TV subscription service and threatening to make all the games digital only with no ability to trade in games yet without the perks of steam sale pricing.
I know this is an obscure game of obscure games to mention, but Boom Boom Rocket is a real gem in the XBLA lineup. The visuals are mesmerizing, probably the most stunning fireworks i've ever seen in a video game. The music is amazing, with its remixes of classical pieces. It's an overall incredibly stimulating experience, and I highly recommend anyone who's a fan of rhythm games to pick it up.
CoD 2 is my favorite. I replayed the campaign a few weeks ago and I’m still amazed by how good it is. Heck I’m tempted to say it’s a cult classic because I don’t see that many people talk about it outside of older CoD fans who grew up during the franchise’s WWII era. I would go as far as to say it has the best campaign in the series.
my favorite ninja title on 360 was tenchu z, that shit was amazing or the time and made u feel like a ninja and there are so many good memories of playing halo 3 with friends on lan and such of like zombies and 4v4
I will always fondly remember my time with the Gears of War games. The first one was my first time ever playing a 3rd person shooter, a genre of game that I honestly thought I'd hate. Since then I've fallen in love with Uncharted, Spec Ops; The Line, and the Lara Croft games. I owe a lot to that franchise. Was it dumb? Hell yes. Did the stories always make sense? Not really. However, did it have that Quintin Tarantino-esqe "remember that set piece?" sort of magic? OH MY GOD YES.
I was definitely looking for Left 4 Dead on this list. I convinced a couple of my die hard Playstation friends to come over to Xbox with that game and they fell in love. Also VERY MUCH looking forward to Back 4 Blood !
That was honestly the main reason i got my Xbox 360 back in the day, then i ended up getting some of the halo and cross platform titles to really make it worth it.......then the internet company i had just signed with gave me a ps3 as a signup bonus and the 360 gathered dust from that point on.
What is it about GOW that you love? I’m just trying to get why people like it so much, I played 2 and 4 and they just seem good enough but I don’t get the hype.
@@xkimopye I guess looking back now it’s harder to see why it was good at the times. Back then tho, the graphics were next level, the cover system was a brand new thing that every other game then took on board. The bing thing was the multiplayer and co op. I have great memories of running through the story with a friend split screen, and playing online matches with schoolmates
@@xkimopye Core gameplay was completely gutted by 4. Skill gap, advanced movement mechanics, aim, all either gone or unrecognizable. As casual problably can’t see the differences, but go watch old Gears montages and watch new ones, you will see.
Bioshock definitely (before it was released on all consoles). Edit: Bioshock isn't an Xbox 360 exclusive. It was one of the first games that I played on the 360, though.
bioshock isnt a xbox exclusive its released on the same date and the pc version therefore not making it an exclusive granted a year later it came out on the ps3
I've always associated Bioshock with 360, most of the people I know associated it with 360. Stayed that way until they made Bioshock: The Collection then I saw people who preferred PS picking it up but even then it was like 10 years too late in my honest opinion.
Nuts and bolts was so much fun, it just didn't need the mud it got for being a banjo game. I think it would have been more fondly looked back on if it wasn't a bad banjo game and more of its own thing
Also, any Twisted Pixel game. Splosion Man, Ms Splosion Man, the Maw, Comic Jumper and Gunstringer. All fantastic indie titles....... plus, Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon were great
GEometry wars was great i remember the first time i got to 1 million without loosing a single life then my friend pointed out i was logged on his profile and started telling everyone he got to 1 million, probably just to rub it in but still. also viva pinata was the best xbox 360 game glad to see it's on the list
The rumor of a Fable 4 game in the making is the only reason I am considering to upgrade to an Xbox... X (We arent suppose to call it "Xbox series X" right? XD) !!
@@1Pineapple I'd assume that if it's available on Xbox, it will also be available on PC because Microsoft ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ At the risk of being scolded by the masses, there's not really any reason to own an Xbox anymore.
I liked the xbox ones back compat. I dont regret the xbox one purchase. But in all honesty if they dont add more games soon ill be buying a ps5 this time instead of an xbox
The 360 was honestly my favorite console. It had so much for me to play and was my first real look at the HD generation of consoles. Wait, no fable 2 or 3? Those were my favorites by far.
I think games like dishonored really need their place though. They took an easy to rum system, muddy painted looking graphics and weird bodily proportions and turned it into a fantastic 3 part series that didn't end on it's generation. Different endings, diverse powers and more than one route, offering rewards and shorter mission times for the few who decided to look around a bit more and realize a quicker way than the one laid out.
I beat Blue Dragon but it had major issues, and was nowhere near the quality of Lost Odyssey. It was very cutesy and childish, the voice acting and dialogue was cringe, and the combat was too stripped down and basic. Maybe good for kids but as an adult I found it more like a 6 / 10.
Mass Effect has been, and will remain for some time I imagine, one of my favorite trilogies ever. A series that I even just went back and played through mostly again (I'm a few hours into 3 right now) and it's just as influential to me as it ever was. Bioware has meant a lot to me as one of my first games I played on the original Xbox was Knights of the Old Republic and, after booting the first Mass Effect game up the first time, hearing Kaiden's voice as the same voice actor that voiced Carth Onasi in KotOR put me back in that same young teenagers mind that I was all those years ago and really opened me up with that child like wonder that served me well playing through the Mass Effect games. I will always defend these 3 games because, like the ending of 3 or not, anything that can put a person back into that mindset and then pull them out with such a strong story about building relationships with your crew, going into a suicide mission and watching Earth get nearly obliterated along with so many other homeworlds and everything in between is good in my book. Also Garrus is a complete badass.
After the original Xbox Microsoft knew they had to do something big to grab the attention from the PlayStation brand and they did just that. They forgot how to count.
The reason I love the 360 is it had games for everyone. Having an Xbox one has been frustrating because it feels like so much of gaming has been overlooked
I'd give a shoutout to Kameo: Elements of Power. That game was incredibly gorgeous at the time, and it had fun gameplay imo. One of my favorites from the 360 era.
Meh, I tried it on Rare replay and wasn't really captivated by it. Seemed like a pretty cookie-cutter Action-Adventure. And that's how I feel about pretty much all the Rare 360 titles: Solid efforts, but not much more than that.
@@Howitchewstofeel5gum Yeah I haven't played it in a long time, so my opinion could change about how it holds up now. That was just my experience with it in 2005 lol
Let's not forget the amazing indie XBLA games. Xbox had these before smart phones ruined it. 1. Beat hazard 2. Pixel Border 3. Bug Ball 4. The Dishwasher 1 and 2 5. Battle Block Theater 6. Shank 1 and 2 7. Castle Crashers 8. Bastion 9. I made a game with Zombies in it. 10. Hydro Thunder Hurricane 11. Charlie Murder 12. Dust 13. Braid 14. Weapon of Choice 15. Agis wing 16. Vigilante 8 Arcade 17. Splosion Man 18. Spelunky 19. FEZ 20. Sonic 4 part 1 21. Shadow Complex 22. Fruit Ninja Kinect 23. Hexic 1 and 2 24. Puzzle Quest 25. Marble Blast 26. Feeding Frenzy 1 and 2 27. The Simpsons Arcade 28. Scott Pilgram 29. Limbo 30. Trials 31. Snoopy Flying aces ok I better stop
I disagree. He calls Gears of War’s gameplay run of the mill cover based shooting. Mass Effect’s gameplay is terrible until 2 and 3. And even then there are issues. Mass Effect 1 is also missing things found in previous BioWare games story wise. Tali for instance just sat in the engine room and spouted all her background after recruiting her in Mass Effect 1. In Kotor or Jade Empire that info would be fed to you throughout the game and they’d add more unique story dialog later on. Example being Mission only having her own story in the opening world, but her and Zalabar having unique dialog in later story quests like opposing dark side Revan but Zalabar still owing a life debt.
also massive credit to DeadRising for not only massive amounts and great weapon variety most of which are unconventional. But like, nobody out there talks about the zombies being the main challenge. But the humans are, those asshole convicts, the soldiers. I like that a lot
Didn't grow up with them, but I played Crackdown 1 and 2 on gamepass back in 2019, and recently played Crackdown3. Those games were all great fun. Felt like open world Mario games... With explosions. If you just want a fun game without too much story, I highly recommend all 3 Crackdowns.
Splinter Cell is more synonymous to Xbox than Playstation, especially with the first three games due to the Playstation versions not being able to run them properly without adding ten load screens to each section of a mission. Also, does anyone remember Tenchu Z being a Xbox 360 exclusive? That was pretty dope.

Fable 2 is easily one of the best games ever made
I'd like to tack on Tales of Vesperia (which while isn't an exclusive anymore, used to be) Magna Carta 2, Blue Dragon, and Infinite Undiscovery.
Having loved Fable 2 and hated Fable 3 as a kid, I find it strange how my taste in gaming has been since then.

Sad to see Lost Odyssey didn't make the list, it's a great game and one of my favourites.
Bioshock definitely (before it was released on all consoles).
Edit: Bioshock isn't an Xbox 360 exclusive. It was one of the first games that I played on the 360, though.
bioshock isnt a xbox exclusive its released on the same date and the pc version therefore not making it an exclusive granted a year later it came out on the ps3
@@chrislarson9504 thank for such a succinct comment. You're correct. I commented too fast on this one.
I've always associated Bioshock with 360, most of the people I know associated it with 360. Stayed that way until they made Bioshock: The Collection then I saw people who preferred PS picking it up but even then it was like 10 years too late in my honest opinion.
I held onto my XBOX 360 just so I could play Banjo-Kazooie Nuts & Bolts, and Lost Odyssey.
Nuts and bolts was so much fun, it just didn't need the mud it got for being a banjo game. I think it would have been more fondly looked back on if it wasn't a bad banjo game and more of its own thing
I'd also add Lost Odyssey and Witcher 2 (console exclusive, but was also on PC).
True the witcher 2 always gets overshadowed by its sequel
I Love playing games on Xbox 360 like cod Old Minecraft and Batman games ( Just the nostalgia and how good the games were )
And halo games
Also, any Twisted Pixel game. Splosion Man, Ms Splosion Man, the Maw, Comic Jumper and Gunstringer. All fantastic indie titles....... plus, Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon were great
This is perfect! I was just gonna start collecting for my 360,and this vid gave me pointers as to what to get.
GEometry wars was great i remember the first time i got to 1 million without loosing a single life then my friend pointed out i was logged on his profile and started telling everyone he got to 1 million, probably just to rub it in but still. also viva pinata was the best xbox 360 game glad to see it's on the list
Man I thought by psychonauts would be on this. But geometry wars and viva piñata were on it makes me happy some child hood games are on there.
If halo 3 isn’t on here I’ll be disappointed
Edit: I’m satisfied
Yeah, but it's only on here because he included EVERY Halo game that was released on the 360.
We all knew it will be here
This is the earliest I've ever been on a Completionist vid.
Me too
Same
Me too
Me too
This list needs more Fable titles imo. Otherwise, wonderful video!
Just SOME fable title at least!!!
The rumor of a Fable 4 game in the making is the only reason I am considering to upgrade to an Xbox... X (We arent suppose to call it "Xbox series X" right? XD) !!
He played Fable anniversary, didn't like it, and said he isn't interested in the sequels.
@@1Pineapple I'd assume that if it's available on Xbox, it will also be available on PC because Microsoft ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ At the risk of being scolded by the masses, there's not really any reason to own an Xbox anymore.
@@CeHee123 Now that you mentioned it, I remember that now.
i would argue that Halo definitely broke the mold. it kicked off a lot of FPS hallmarks that we see in lots of games today
funny enough the 360 was last time i was interested in a microsoft console.
I don‘t think you‘re the only one.
I had an Xbox one, regretted not going with a PS4 the entire time and now have a ps5.
Same. Gears of War 2
Lol
I liked the xbox ones back compat. I dont regret the xbox one purchase. But in all honesty if they dont add more games soon ill be buying a ps5 this time instead of an xbox
The 360 was honestly my favorite console. It had so much for me to play and was my first real look at the HD generation of consoles.
Wait, no fable 2 or 3? Those were my favorites by far.
The first and only mass effect game I ever tried was Andromeda. so I never knew how good it was.
That's like saying, "the first pizza I've ever tried was the pineapple pizza"
I was sooo sure you were going to include Banjo Kazooie Nuts & Bolts
I think games like dishonored really need their place though. They took an easy to rum system, muddy painted looking graphics and weird bodily proportions and turned it into a fantastic 3 part series that didn't end on it's generation. Different endings, diverse powers and more than one route, offering rewards and shorter mission times for the few who decided to look around a bit more and realize a quicker way than the one laid out.
I can barely put into words how excited I get when I see you put up a video with this sort of title
No one ever puts Blue Dragon on their top 10 :/
I would bet he hasn't played it
It's a bit average, graphics and sound are 10/10 but the characters and story don't grip you like other RPG on the system. In my opinion.
I beat Blue Dragon but it had major issues, and was nowhere near the quality of Lost Odyssey. It was very cutesy and childish, the voice acting and dialogue was cringe, and the combat was too stripped down and basic. Maybe good for kids but as an adult I found it more like a 6 / 10.
Xbox 360 was and probably still is my favorite console. Considering the series x with the SSD, the 360 seems to load nearly as fast in a lot of cases.
The 360 had some interesting exclusives beyond the marquee titles. Id love to see you try to tackle some of them on Completionist Video's.
Remember that the original Xbox also had an amazing library with great exclusives.
Can't believe he unironically chose viva piñata
I'm glad you picked Shadow Complex, it is one of my favorite 360 games. Bonus points for Mass Effect being #1!
I missed fable 2 in this list. Best RPG of this time
He played Fable anniversary, didn't like it and has said he he has no interest in the sequels.
Ninja Gaiden! Rad!
Glad you included it. My favourite game of all time.
The naming system for the Xbox consoles give me a headache
I’m a little sad not to see any mention of Blue Dragon. Such an underrated rpg and to this day still only released on the 360
Pre watch: if lost Odyssey isn't here I riot
Edit: I riot
It didn’t surprise me that he would leave out the two best JRPG on 360. Blue Dragon & Lost Odyssey 🤦🏻♂️🤔
Implying a basic ass RUclipsr that completes mainstream games would know anything about such a hidden gem.
Holy shit, someone mentioned Alan Wake and had nice things to say! Thank you. Absolutely love that game.
Mass Effect has been, and will remain for some time I imagine, one of my favorite trilogies ever. A series that I even just went back and played through mostly again (I'm a few hours into 3 right now) and it's just as influential to me as it ever was. Bioware has meant a lot to me as one of my first games I played on the original Xbox was Knights of the Old Republic and, after booting the first Mass Effect game up the first time, hearing Kaiden's voice as the same voice actor that voiced Carth Onasi in KotOR put me back in that same young teenagers mind that I was all those years ago and really opened me up with that child like wonder that served me well playing through the Mass Effect games. I will always defend these 3 games because, like the ending of 3 or not, anything that can put a person back into that mindset and then pull them out with such a strong story about building relationships with your crew, going into a suicide mission and watching Earth get nearly obliterated along with so many other homeworlds and everything in between is good in my book.
Also Garrus is a complete badass.
Halo 3, 4 and reach, gears of war all 4 games, mass effect, and Batman Arkham games ❤️
I remember seeing a used copy of mass effect in a GameStop and thought it looked interesting, so glad I bought it back then ❤️
My number 1 was blue dragon
My personal number 1 is always Bayonetta. When I first popped that into my 360, it honestly felt like I was playing a next generation Dreamcast game.
After the original Xbox Microsoft knew they had to do something big to grab the attention from the PlayStation brand and they did just that. They forgot how to count.
The reason I love the 360 is it had games for everyone. Having an Xbox one has been frustrating because it feels like so much of gaming has been overlooked
I was really expecting Fuzion Frenzy at some point in this list
I'm Commander Shepard, and Mass Effect is my favorite game on the 360.
I'd give a shoutout to Kameo: Elements of Power. That game was incredibly gorgeous at the time, and it had fun gameplay imo. One of my favorites from the 360 era.
I'd say it can still look pretty for today. Absolutely gorgeous game with a great artistic direction.
@@Mr.Foxhat Agreed :) Good ol' Rare.
An actual hidden gem up to this day...
Meh, I tried it on Rare replay and wasn't really captivated by it. Seemed like a pretty cookie-cutter Action-Adventure. And that's how I feel about pretty much all the Rare 360 titles: Solid efforts, but not much more than that.
@@Howitchewstofeel5gum Yeah I haven't played it in a long time, so my opinion could change about how it holds up now. That was just my experience with it in 2005 lol

ok I better stop
Mass Effect at the top of the list, that's what I'm talkin' about, brother!
I disagree. He calls Gears of War’s gameplay run of the mill cover based shooting. Mass Effect’s gameplay is terrible until 2 and 3. And even then there are issues.
Mass Effect 1 is also missing things found in previous BioWare games story wise. Tali for instance just sat in the engine room and spouted all her background after recruiting her in Mass Effect 1. In Kotor or Jade Empire that info would be fed to you throughout the game and they’d add more unique story dialog later on. Example being Mission only having her own story in the opening world, but her and Zalabar having unique dialog in later story quests like opposing dark side Revan but Zalabar still owing a life debt.
@@dingle2987 its his opinion
The 360 introduced me to online gaming. Even though I use playstation now, this was a breath of fresh air
"the test isnt that confusing"
the test: xbox 360
What does this mean?
Ha?
Ok?
i PRAY that they make a gears of war collection like they did with halo and what they’re doing with mass effect
Forza Motorsport 4, I am still working on completing it at someday.
Take your sweet ass time. There's no rush in paradise.
also massive credit to DeadRising for not only massive amounts and great weapon variety most of which are unconventional. But like, nobody out there talks about the zombies being the main challenge. But the humans are, those asshole convicts, the soldiers. I like that a lot
I just started playing Blue Dragon, it's not a masterpiece but I'm liking it so far and I'm very curious to see what it has to offer !
I remember getting it as a kid from the library and couldn't get past the first boss lmao. Might grab it again ngl
Didn't grow up with them, but I played Crackdown 1 and 2 on gamepass back in 2019, and recently played Crackdown3. Those games were all great fun. Felt like open world Mario games... With explosions.
If you just want a fun game without too much story, I highly recommend all 3 Crackdowns.
_I adore Alan Wake!_ 🔦
_I wish it would get a proper sequel (on PlayStation, too)_ 🤞🏻

Great written script and well put together video! Thanks for this epic content. I really enjoyed it eventhough I didn't own a Xbox 360.
IRS is coming 🎉
I can never not associate Super Meat Boy with a cold Sprite on a hot summer day.
i remember my friend had a 360 and we always played Minecraft, ah the old days (i say that like the boomer i am not)
Those were better times
XBOX360 minecraft was a different universe
Ok boomer

Splinter Cell is more synonymous to Xbox than Playstation, especially with the first three games due to the Playstation versions not being able to run them properly without adding ten load screens to each section of a mission. Also, does anyone remember Tenchu Z being a Xbox 360 exclusive? That was pretty dope.
