Dark Souls, Red Dead Redemption, Portal 2 and other projects that deserve attention.

1. Assassin's Creed II

The second part of Assassin's Creed fixed many of the mistakes of the first and became one of the most popular games of the publisher. The main character, the Italian assassin Ezio, travels between Florence, Venice and Forlì, along the way investigating the murders of his relatives.

The gameplay, tied to climbing buildings and stealthy murders, is addictive, and precisely recreated Italian cities of the Renaissance are mesmerizing with their beauty.

2. Grand Theft Auto V

Textures in GTA V on Xbox 360 are less crisp and effects less impressive than on more modern consoles. But this almost does not affect the sensations. Still, the main thing in Rockstar games is exciting missions and memorable characters, and with that, GTA V is fine.

This is one of the latest blockbusters to hit the console and one of the most highly detailed games on it. You can study the map for hours and constantly find something new.

3. Mass Effect 2

In Mass Effect 2, the player takes on the role of Commander Shepard, who must assemble a team of talented fighters to confront the alien threat. To do this, you will have to travel a lot across different star systems, save people and fight evil aliens.

And also, perhaps, a couple of times to look into a nightclub, solve a few personal problems of colleagues and enter into a romantic relationship with one of them. In short, the game has something to do. The main thing is not to forget that the universe is threatened with destruction.

4. Halo 3

Halo is a popular shooter series known for both epic single player campaigns and intense multiplayer matches. Halo 3's multiplayer servers currently have few players, but you can enjoy the story mode.

In the role of the super-soldier of the Master Chief, the player must prevent the alien Covenant coalition from activating the Halo rings, designed to destroy the galaxy. He has to travel through portals, rescue old friends and shoot a lot.

5. Portal 2

This is one of those games, after passing which you start to look at this art form in a different way. At its core, Portal 2 is simple: the heroine must solve riddles with the portal cannon in order to escape from a giant underground laboratory.

It is surprising how much the developers manage in 10 hours, which the storyline campaign lasts. Tell a fascinating story with funny characters and tense situations, teach the player "portal thinking", imagine a dozen different mechanics without adding a single additional button to the control scheme.

This game is a masterpiece and must not be missed.

6. Red Dead Redemption

John Marston, the protagonist of Red Dead Redemption, has done a lot of dubious things in life. But such is his world - the Wild West does not forgive weakness. Despite the fact that John has long abandoned criminal activity and started a family, the sins of the past suddenly remind of themselves. The hero has to go on a journey across the frontier in search of his former accomplices.

As with many other Rockstar games, the essence of Red Dead Redemption is the feeling of freedom. The player has access to a huge map on which you can freely move on horses, carriages and trains. There are also a bunch of weapons and options.

7. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

Modern Warfare is the first part of Call of Duty that doesn't take place during WWII. The player takes on the role of a special forces fighter, who, together with his team, must find out the plans of the terrorists and prevent them.

The game shows modern warfare from different angles: through the eyes of a shooter in a helicopter, a sniper behind enemy lines, a soldier in Central Asia. The campaign is full of memorable moments. What is just the observation of a nuclear explosion or a mission in the abandoned Pripyat.

8. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Skyrim is one of the most popular games in history. The Elder Scrolls series has always had a special status in the gaming community, but the fifth part brought it to the next level. In today's world, Skyrim is almost synonymous with an open-world RPG.

There are many reasons for this. Simplicity of gameplay, memorable quests, an epic plot that allows the player to decide the fate of not only the region, but the whole world. Although the main one is, of course, talking dragons.

9. Batman: Arkham City

Batman: Arkham City is a rare example of a really high-quality superhero game. Stealthy attacks, investigation of crime scenes, tactical use of gadgets, long flights around the city at night: the action really makes you feel like Batman.

It also has a great storyline that includes most of the classic DC villains, and stars from the 90s animated series.

10. Dark Souls

Dark Souls does not stand on ceremony with the player. From the first minutes she makes it clear: if you are not good enough, then you will not be able to complete the game. There will be no concessions. Therefore, as you progress, you have to improve your skills, learn to move correctly, block and parry blows.

As a reward, the player receives a sense of satisfaction after defeating the next boss and small pieces of lore, from which you can learn more about this doomed world.
