The 10 Best Xbox 360 Games You Totally Forgot About
From some long-forgotten shooters to now-obscure games that were once popular, these are some of the best Xbox 360 games that no one remembers.

The seventh-generation was an interesting time in gaming. The preceding generation was a bit of a mixed bag, featuring the absolute domination of the PlayStation 2 and the stellar debut of Microsoft’s Xbox. And while it had no chance of catching Sony and the PS2, it certainly held its own as a quality console.
But everything flipped in the seventh generation, and suddenly, Microsoft found itself on top with the Xbox 360. The console is an all-time classic, featuring some of the greatest games and exclusives of all time. While most of these games are well-remembered, some have unfortunately fallen by the wayside over the years.
10 Shadow Complex (2009)
Shadow Complex was published by Microsoft itself and served as a great Metroidvania title. Players control a man named Jason who has to rescue his girlfriend Claire from a mysterious underground complex.
It was a wonderful little game that harkened back to the Metroid franchise, featuring exciting gameplay and a surprisingly great narrative. Unfortunately, the game was released exclusively on Xbox Live Arcade, meaning it never got the attention it deserved.
9 Alan Wake (2010)
Today, Alan Wake is enjoyed as a cult classic. It’s not particularly well known within the mainstream, but those who have played it really enjoy it. Made by Remedy Entertainment of Max Payne fame, the game is a fascinating mixture of Stephen King and Twin Peaks.
The gameplay is also quite unique, as players are forced to battle shadow monsters with beams of light. Combined with a beautiful atmosphere, Alan Wake is a highly memorable game that failed to reach the mainstream popularity of Remedy’s past titles.
8 Crackdown (2007)
Crackdown is a glorious blend of superhero and open-world action games. The game was directed by David Jones, who is perhaps best known for creating the legendary Grand Theft Auto series.
The game initially sold well, thanks to very strong and very fun gameplay mechanics, not to mention getting bundled with a multiplayer trial for the hotly anticipated Halo 3. However, time and successive disappointing sequels have killed the name, and it is now regarded as little more than a nostalgic memory.
7 Stranglehold (2007)
Hard Boiled is one of John Woo’s best action movies, and Stranglehold serves as its official sequel. Made with the Unreal Engine 3, Stranglehold was made in direct collaboration with Woo himself, who provided much of the creative direction for the game.
Players were excited to see the return of Chow Yun-fat as Tequila, and the game was a pretty exciting third-person shooter with fun bullet-time mechanics. It’s very Max Payne, but there’s nothing inherently wrong with that.
6 Kameo: Elements Of Power (2005)
Few stories in gaming are as tragic as Rare’s. Rare was once one of the top names in gaming, but they have since been relegated to memory and unmemorable titles. In 2005, they created Kameo, a fun but little-known beat-em-up that nicely mixed combat mechanics with fantasy elements.
The game was a technical marvel of its time, and it helped establish the Xbox 360 as a powerful console capable of displaying some incredible graphics. It obviously looks dated today, which is a shame, because much of its magic lay in its revolutionary production.
5 Dance Central (2010)
Dancing games are nothing new, and by the turn of the 2010s, the Guitar Hero franchise was dominating the music and rhythm genre. Dance Central was a great game for working up a sweat, and it was also a lot of fun from a gameplay perspective.
While it’s hard to imagine modern dance games being fresh and invigorating, Dance Central was a resounding success. It sold millions, earned solid reviews from critics, and even launched a new franchise. With Dance Central, gamers finally realized the potential of the Kinect.
4 Gun (2005)
Gun was introduced as an Xbox 360 launch title in November of 2005, and it made for a spectacular debut. The 21st century saw some fantastic Western movies, but a surprising lack of quality Western games. Gun and, of course, Red Dead Redemption, proved the exception.
It proved a very fun Western, and it was arguably the best example of the genre before Rockstar came along with their masterpiece. Unfortunately, Rockstar also killed most memories relating to this underrated and oft-forgotten title.
3 Singularity (2010)
Today, Raven Software is known for developing multiple Call of Duty titles. But right before they got the gig and developed Call of Duty: Black Ops, they made a sci-fi action game titled Singularity.
The game perfectly blended elements of first-person shooter and horror, and it featured a unique time device that allowed players to manipulate the events of the game. The title was well-received by critics and fans alike, but a lack of a sequel ensured that it was quickly forgotten.
2 The Saboteur (2009)
Today, The Saboteur is mostly remembered for being the final game released by Pandemic Studios. However, it also deserves to be remembered based on the inherent qualities of its gameplay and design. World War II video games are certainly not rare – in the early 2000s, virtually every single war game was set during World War II.
But The Saboteur did something a little different and offered an open-world experience in German-occupied France. This premise alone was well worth the price of admission.
1 Enslaved: Odyssey To The West (2010)
Enslaved shares some similarities with Horizon Zero Dawn, including the setting of a post-apocalyptic future ravaged by massive robots. However, it is not nearly as popular, which is a shame, considering the talent involved.
The game was co-written by screenwriter Alex Garland of 28 Days Later and Annihilation fame, and it features a strong motion-capture performance from the master himself, Andy Serkis. Despite the incredible names attached to the game, some mediocre gameplay and a disappointing technical performance doomed the game to obscurity.
