Locating The Best Xbox 360 Games

By John Ashbury

We all know of the benefits of the Xbox 360 in enriching our lives as avid gamers with its excellent graphics, flexible controls and wide variety of titles. When you purchased your own Xbox 360, you also bought some of the games in its hundreds of titles as a bonus. These should keep you entertained for about a couple of weeks, after which a hankering for more games will soon follow.

You must remember that the games you buy are going to be the games in your collection. With prices reaching into the seventy-dollar range you will want to buy the right one for you so don't be afraid to shop around. This will allow you to enjoy the game you bough without wasting your hard-earned cash.

Your local store from where you bought your Xbox 360 gaming console is the first stop in your search for the best games. You should browse through all the selections so as to get a feel of the available choices, which may or may not be wide in variety depending on the store itself. You should be able to enjoy the game as soon as you get home with your final choice, which is in contrast with waiting for the mail to deliver it.

However, you must beware of aggressive marketing tactics employed by stores to convince their customers about the supposedly bestseller status of the Xbox 360 game selections. If you see that awards accorded to the game is part and parcel of the box art, then it is most probably true. Buy it before it flied off the shelves and you will be left with regrets.

Another great way to purchase Xbox 360 games are websites that are designed for gamers just like yourself. Take a look at the official Xbox 360 homepage at www.xbox.com for some reviews on current games and upcoming ones. This site will at least keep you up to date with the latest games and news in the word of the Xbox 360.

In the abovementioned website, you can also enjoy the benefits of the Xbox Live feature. You can purchase cheaper games that will satisfy your gaming lust for weeks on end, with the added benefit of a quick downloading process.

And then there are the various online review sites that are peopled with critics who provide objective reviews of presently available games as well as news on new games in development. You can start with IGN and Gamespot, two of the more notable sites that offer fairly consistent reviews even when other sites are split on the matter. If you see a game with high scores and positive reviews, then you can purchase it with greater assurance that indeed it is a great game. (Reviewers usually rank a game on a 1 to 10 system, with 10 as the highest)

All of these different ways of finding Xbox 360 games have their benefits. Doing your research will help you avoid hassles from attendants and being ripped off. Shopping around online and in stores is the only way to find great bargains. Now that is the best thing in the gaming world, saving money while saving the world on your Xbox 360. - 29852
