Next generation has become an old term in recent years. The Xbox 360 came out years ago, but it is still capable of producing incredible graphics (although the graphical power of PCs has greatly surpassed all of the next gen consoles). If you’re looking for not only a great gaming console but an all-in-one home theater system, then the Xbox 360 game system will appeal to you. It’s great fun for the entire family. Video games, movies, music, and Internet features will entertain everyone.

Only a Few Exclusives

The biggest problem for many gamers about the Xbox 360 is that it only has a few exclusive Xbox 360 video game titles. Big titles like Grand Theft Auto IV and Bioshock have all come out on different platforms. Exclusive titles like the Playstation 3′s Metal Gear Solid 4 are big reasons why gamers might choose one platform over another. A recent example of the effects of exclusive titles came with Square Enix’s announcement that their upcoming game Final Fantasy XIII will no longer be a Playstation 3 exclusive. As Final Fantasy XIII will now be coming out also as an Xbox 360 video game, many gamers who might have purchased a Playstation 3 may decide to go with the Xbox 360 instead.

Shooter fans are bound to love Halo 3 and Gears of War, while RPG gamers are not left out in the cold with Xbox 360 video games. The RPG enthusiast will find Fable 2 and Age of Conan to their liking. Other big titles like Call of Duty 4, Mass Effect, and Bioshock will appeal to a large variety of players. To be able to play these games though, gamers will need an Xbox 360 game system. The current 20 Gb model is being sold at $300, while the new 60 Gb vesion will once again cost $350 (what the 20 Gb model cost until recently). With the system, gamers will be able to experience Xbox 360 video games in full HD 1080i (with support for 1080p). That’s the absolute best that gamers can ask for with the current generation of televisions, although computer monitors are capable of displaying slightly higher resolutions.

With so many Xbox 360 games already available and more coming out each year, gamers will find their experience with the Xbox 360 pro system to always be exciting. All of the big genres are covered, even strategy games which have traditionally been a bastion of PC gaming. However, Microsoft develops both the Xbox platform and Windows, so gamers can expect a lot of crossover titles between the two platforms. For example, Xbox 360 games such as Bioshock, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and Gears of War all appear on the PC as well. This allows gamers with incredibly fast PCs to experience even more amazing graphics, which all gamers can have affordable gameplay with the Xbox 360 console.

All my kids talk about getting every year for Christmas is video games if they don’t go downstairs and find Gears of War 2 under our new flocked christmas tree I do not know how they will survive. It makes me a little nuts since I do all I can to get my kids outdoors. I would prefer to get them something like new football equipment or bikes, really anything they can do outside. Alas, I suppose boys will be boys. Fighting with them is just too much work.

After saying that I guess I should get to the point that I’ve developed a few ways to control their television addiction. I do a couple of things in an effort to force them outside. First off I limit their time every day to one hour (they can earn more). I have discovered that limiting the time is key to everything else because then they know time above and beyond that is to be earned. I do give them some ways to earn more time in front of the television. That leads me into my second trick. They have a few options to earn more television time, either playing outside or doing some chores for me. I like the chores option because it is nice for me to have a few less things to do, and the reward for them isn’t bad either. I intentionally made it with the purpose of them getting around one hour of television time for every one hour they spend on chores.

The number two way they get more television time is by spending some of their time outside. For every hour they spend outside they get fifteen minutes of video games. Like I say this isn’t a huge payoff, but I also don’t really think asking them to be outside is a huge thing to ask. This mostly pays off for them on weekends. They spend all day outside on Saturdays and earn themselves a couple of hours in front of the television. I do not even mind if they play a night of video games after a good day outside.

That being said I’m ok with one or two ending up under artificial flocked christmas tree this year if it has the effect of getting my brats outside and getting some stuff done around the house for me. They had better like the games they’re getting, because I know I’ll like my “gift” of one more thing to use “against” my boys.

Video games have been rising in popularity since the days of the Atari 2600, and the current age of video gaming began with the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES for short). Two decades after the Nintendo started flying off of store shelves, there are three big consoles on the market: Microsoft’s Xbox 360, Sony’s Playstation 3, and Nintendo’s Wii. The first two will appeal to the same demographic of gamers, and they compare relatively closely in terms of graphics and other features. Therefore, the deciding factor should be their respective libraries of games. Gamers looking for a strong game library can turn to the hundreds of Xbox 360 video games on the market to fulfill their wishes.

Alright, are you ready for this

1. Gears of War 2

This is a sequel of Gears of War original, and to my astonishment this game certainly deserves all the praises. This game has picked up from the last sequel and in fact, experience a much better game play, more characters, not to mention the graphics, it's breathe taking!

2. Call of Duty: World at War

Now you'll love this game if you want to experience an actual war, and yet too cheesy to be at one. The visuals combining with highly intelligent gameplay pushed the game to the furthest extent I’ve seen. The weapons and machineries are so real, you'll wonder if there's a war going behind your yard if i'm playing next door!

3. Fallout 3

Fallout 3 is standing firm on the Top 3 Xbox 360 games. The cool graphics along with nightmarish background visuals of the world after a nuclear fallout. It certainly creeps me out when I'm playing Fallout 3 especially when facing the "turned-bad" human beings due to the radiations.

4. Left 4 Dead

Now for those that have fascinations for zombies, this is for you. These "bad boys" are the all-time favourite, be it games or movies, zombies are just the perfect characters as villains. You'll need to stay alive throughout the hordes of zombies and their bosses. Now go kill some zombies!

5. Fable II

Fable II picks up some where 500 years after the events of the Fable I, very creative and well laid storyline. With certain actions you can make a person good, or bad in this game. But the mature contents in the game might be some restrictions when you’re buying for your friends, make sure they’re old enough to be playing this!

Now, I suppose you're already feeling the itch on your hands to get those games, yea? Are you thinking of downloading them? Well, don’t just go all out and sign up for any Xbox 360 game download sites yet, most of them are scams!
