My Top 5 Xbox 360 Games

5.  Gears of War- The first game I played for the 360, and I was blown away from by the next-gen graphics and just the gameplay in general.  I've never had that much fun playing a Third-Person shooter.  Everything was great about the game, except the fact that the campaign was fairly short.

4.  NHL 2008- Although I'm sure a lot of you who may be reading this are not hockey fans, I myself, am.  The graphics and just all-around realism of EA's hockey game is fantastic.  There are happy expressions on the players faces when they're happy, and mean ones when they're not.  The crowd is great and the announcers' dialouge is very believeable.

3.  Halo 3-  Yes Halo 3 is in the MIDDLE of this list, and not at the top of the mountain.  Although I do really enjoy this game, I just don't believe it it's the best game on the console.  The campaign is just epic, and the online multiplayer just adds to the total experience.  One of the strongest features the final chapter of this great triology has is that you can team up with a friend via Xbox Live and play through the campain, which is something other games should have.  The graphics are great, and the character development is even greater.
 
2.  Rockband- Although I don't have this game, I still love it.  Whenever I play at my girlfriends house, we all just have a great time.  Whether you're playing lead guitar, bass, drums, or even singing, everyone has a blast playing this game.  This is what party games were made for.  The master tracking rather than lame covers makes the game that much better.  Who better to sing a Black Sabbath song than Ozzy himself?

1.  Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare- Do I really even have to state the reasons why this tops my list, and many others around the world?  The graphics are phenomenal, and the sound may be even better.  This is the first game that makes me feel like I'm fighting a war myself.  From the dirt shooting onto the camera lens, to the branches being broken by bullets, this game just has it all.  Although the campaign mode is somewhat short, the online multiplayer makes up for it.  With many differernt modes to chose from like deathmatch, capture the flag, and others, it will be difficult for players to get bored with this title.

Honorable Mentions- Bioshock, Tom Clancy's Ghost Reacon: Advanced Warfare 2, The Darkness, Condemned: Criminal Origins, Call of Duty 2
