Top Games Xbox 360: Must Play These 5 Titles

Microsoft shut down the Xbox 360 Marketplace on July 29th, 2024.

The Xbox 360 Marketplace is no more. You can only buy select Xbox 360 titles on your Xbox One or Xbox Series S/X from the Microsoft Store. Moreover, these titles will only be accessible via backward compatibility on your current console. Xbox 360 games that aren’t backward compatible can no longer be purchased online.

Read through to the end to figure out how you can still purchase the top 5 games that could be owned on Xbox 360.

GTA V

At first, we have GTA V. This is the game that took over the internet in 2013. Most people who have a compatible gaming console must have played GTA V by now but if you haven’t, don’t miss out on this awesome game! The graphics are still pretty decent for decade decade-old game.

Also, consider purchasing GTA IV because the driving physics in this game is remarkable.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare Trilogy: Top Rated FPS on Xbox 360

Call of Duty Modern Warfare Trilogy is the way to go if you love FPS games. The stories of all three Modern Warfare titles are connected and personally, it was the best campaign I came across in a first-person shooter game. The multiplayer is still active for all three titles on Xbox 360. These games also feature the Spec Ops mode which you can play alone or with friends. There’s no way that you will regret purchasing Modern Warfare Trilogy on Xbox 360.

If you don’t like Modern Warfare, you can go with Call of Duty Black Ops. Black Ops games have the usual Campaign and Multiplayer modes along with a Zombies mode. Zombies can be played alone or with friends (just like Spec Ops from MW games).

Need for Speed Most Wanted 2012

Forza Horizon 1 and 2 were delisted from the Xbox Marketplace a long time ago. However, Need for Speed Most Wanted 2 was available on the Xbox 360 digital storefront till the very day the store closed. Need for Speed Most Wanted 2012 has awesome races, intense police pursuits, popular sports cars (Bugatti Veyron, Lamborghini, Koenigsegg), and a more than decent soundtrack.

Assassin’s Creed

If you like games that are based on history, you are going to fall in love with any Assassin’s Creed title. The story of every single Assassin’s Creed game on Xbox 360 is perfect. If I were to recommend one game from this franchise, I would recommend Assassin’s Creed II. This game has a good story, the graphics are fine and the parkour mechanics are thrilling.

Xbox 360 Marketplace Shut Down: How to Buy the Top 5 Games?

If you were not able to purchase these games from the Xbox 360 Marketplace before July 29th, you can always buy the discs for these titles at a bargain. Keep in mind that brand new discs can’t really be found these days considering the fact that Xbox 360 is two decades old. Even after the marketplace closes, discs will get the job done for you.
