I just recently got a 360 cheap and I was wondering if anyone had any good recommendations of good games. Rules here being that the game must be a 360 EXCLUSIVE. No PC release, no PS3 release, no... Yeah, don't have to worry about Wii. If it released on the XBone, I'll let it slide. So, whatcha got?

No

Halo 3/4

Gears of war 1/2/3

Could list more but I'd run into Cross platform if I did.

Dead or Alive 4
Dead Rising
Forza Motorsport 4
Gears of War 2 and 3
Halo 3 ODST
Halo Reach
Ridge Racer 6
Saints Row

Unfortunately the xbox 360 is weak in the exclusive games department. Personally PS3 has better games like:

Killzone
Uncharted
Infamous
Beyond Two Souls
God of War
Heavy Rain
The Ico & Shadow of the Colossus Collection
Littlebigplanet
Metal Gear games
Motorstorm
Ratchet and Clank games
Resistance games

I have a PS3 as well and I completely agree. That console has way more exclusives that I play.

I could've easily skipped having a 360 this gen, except I wanted to play co-op with my brothers, and they already had 360s. I greatly prefer Sony's exclusives. R&C and GoW sold me on PS3, considering how much I loved the previous games on PS2.

Shadow Complex

First of all, good luck, Xbox 360 is one of the worst console ever because it lacks exclusives, but anyway...
Gears of War 2, people really like the GoW series, I don't find it anything special but still...there's not much else on the system.
Halo series, this is by far the best exclusive you can find.
Shadow Complex, I have yet to get this one but it's one of the few you can't find elsewhere.
'Splosion Man, I have the 2nd one on PC, but the first is 360 only.
Perfect Dark, remake of the N64 classic, but still it's the only place where you can find it nowdays, same goes for both Banjo-Kazooies.

I've had a 360 for quite a while, and I strongly dislike almost all of their exclusives.

Forza Horizon is a fun mix of open-world arcade racer (ala Burnout Paradise) with some sim aspects (ala Forza).
Shadow Complex is a great game and a lot of fun.

Halo, GeoW, and the first Dead Rising are all completely skip-able.

The 360 version of RDR is supposed to be a bit better, if you didn't get around to that on PS3.

Not sure if it's an Xbox exclusive or not but I do enjoy playing Vanquish and Shadows of the Damned. I think both of these are underrated and lack exposure compared to the mainstream Xbox's games.

Both are also on PS3, but I'll keep them in mind. Thanks.

Halo CE (old xbox title, compatible with xbox 360)
Halo 2 (old xbox title, also compatible with 360, best game in the series gameplay-wise)
Halo 3 (pretty damn good, beware that multiplayer is near extinct, i saw like 1k players 2 months ago spread out between various game modes, hard to get matches)
Halo 3 ODST (same as halo 3)
Halo Reach (somewhat better than the previous 2)
Halo 4 (not as good as the previous 3 but still worthwhile playing)
Halo wars (different kind of Halo game, if you feel like it)
Halo CE Anniversary edition (worth it for nostalgia and it's the start of one of the best game franchises)

Gears of war 1
Gears of war 2
Gears of war 3
Gears of war judgment (have it but haven't played yet, previous 3 were pretty good from what i recall)

Forza Motorsport 2 (best racing game ever imo, sadly the multiplayer is dead, checked this 2 months ago and there was nobody online)
Forza Motorsport 3 (it's "meh", previous one was better, also FM4 is better than this)
Forza Motorsport 4 (copy + paste of FM3 from what i remember, with a bit more content and overall improved experience)
Forza Horizon (never played this but i got FH2 on xbox one and it's the funniest/friendliest racing experience ever, it's not a serious game but it's fun to mess around with)

Viva Pinata (if you like this kind of games, i enjoyed it in the early days when i got my 360)

Jet Set Radio Future (old xbox title, compatible with xbox 360, worth getting it if you like what you see)

Project Gotham Racing Series 1-4 (1-2 old xbox, 3-4 360, different kind of racing games, they provide with nice challenges if you are up for the job)

I think this is all of it, from my own experience of exclusives, i got all of them games mentioned except for forza horizon + project gotham racing 3-4. There's also Dead Rising 2, i have this but it's really not a big deal in my book mostly because of the timer within the game, limits the freedom element in the game, still provides some fun moments i guess.

EDIT: Forgot to mention import tuner challenge, if you ever played tokyo highway challenge on older systems and enjoyed what you played, then you should grab this too. Game is nice and plays like older similiar titles, but it might seem a bit too clunky for a 360 game, the collision mechanism is not really the best, still the game is fun to play.

It's still 360 exclusives since it runs only on those two older systems and i highly doubt he would buy the first system to play those. I have those games on mine and they are worth it.

Telling him to go buy Halo/GoW without having the complete experience is actually stupid, if that's what you are trying to achieve here with your copy pasted comment.

Yeah, I think he's in the clear with old Xbox titles.

I only have a few:

Lost Odyssey
Blue Dragon
Infinite Undiscovery

Was given an Xbox360 years ago and those are the only games I bought for it over the years. Most everything else is available on other consoles.

Lost odyssey was actually one of the main reasons why I bothered with the 360 at all. Infinite Undiscovery looks pretty cool too.

If you don't mind a regular Xbox game, look up Phantom Dust.
Also Sudeki, but it's available on Steam now.

Without a double Double Fine Happy Action Theater is the greatest 360 game. If you have little kids, that is.

Play Fable 2 it's awesome, especially in coop. I remember the days when I just played Fable 2, trying to liberate all the secrets of the game.

Fable II is an action role-playing open world video game in the Fable game series developed by Lionhead Studios and published by Microsoft Game Studios for Xbox 360. It is the sequel to Fable and Fable: The Lost Chapters, it was originally announced in 2006 and released in October 2008. A compilation of the game, and its two downloadable content packs, was released on 24 October 2009, titled the "Game of the Year" edition.

Note: I dislike the Fable 1 and did not play Fable 3.

"sadly" xbox 360 lost most of its exclusives, they were later ported to other consoles or pc. It's good for pc gamers but crippled the exlusives list on the 360. :P
