Finding The Best Xbox 360 Games

By John Ashbury

We all know of the benefits of the Xbox 360 in enriching our lives as avid gamers with its excellent graphics, flexible controls and wide variety of titles. When you purchased your own Xbox 360, you also bought some of the games in its hundreds of titles as a bonus. These should keep you entertained for about a couple of weeks, after which a hankering for more games will soon follow.

Always remember however, that the games that you purchase will go into your game collection. With prices reaching sometimes in the $70 range you do not want to buy just any game you see. Make sure you buy one you will enjoy so that your money is not wasted.

The local store at which you bought your Xbox 360 is a great first place to start looking at games to buy. Make sure to fully browse through all the games to know what is out there whether the store is big or small. You should be able to enjoy the game you bought as soon as you get home which cannot happen if a game is being mailed to you.

However, you must beware of aggressive marketing tactics employed by stores to convince their customers about the supposedly bestseller status of the Xbox 360 game selections. If you see that awards accorded to the game is part and parcel of the box art, then it is most probably true. Buy it before it flied off the shelves and you will be left with regrets.

Just another good source for Xbox 360 games is online stores for gamers like yourself. The official Xbox 360 homepage at www.xbox.com to see game reviews and news on upcoming games. At least you will be able to see what games do well and not so well the Xbox world.

In the abovementioned website, you can also enjoy the benefits of the Xbox Live feature. You can purchase cheaper games that will satisfy your gaming lust for weeks on end, with the added benefit of a quick downloading process.

There are also many various online websites that give reviews from critics and nonprofessionals alike on the available games out there. Gamespot and IGN are two of the more known of these types of websites that give pretty fair reviews and have the latest news on the hottest games out there. If you see a game that have been review and receiving nothing but praise you might want to buy it since what these critics have to say does bear some weight. The ranking system for games on these sorts of sites are of a one to ten scale with one being the worst and ten being the best.

The various methods used to find Xbox 360 games all have their many benefits. However, if you do your research you can avoid being ripped off or having to deal with annoying store attendants. Whether through use of a gaming store or an online site you can find Old, new, highly quality and intense games for good bargains. This will make it the best thing in the gaming world, which is saving money while saving the planet on your Xbox 360. - 29872
