Help Crunk Populate His 360 Collection!

[DJ Yung Crunk]

Tale as old as time.

So my 360 perished some time ago, as 360s are wont to do. Not being much of a gamer I simply mourned the deceased console for a few moments and went about my life 360-free. Cut to November 2012 and now I'm starting to miss the ol' girl and now I'm starting to think I should get a new one while we're at the end of the cycle and they're nice and cheap. Only problem is that now my 360 game collection is behind the times.

I enlist you, GiantITP, to help bring my collection out of the era of tri-cornered hats and into the hoverboard present. What are some good games for the system that have been released since April 2010? I know it's that date since I was playing Just Cause 2 when it croaked and wikipedia seems to believe it was released around that time. I'm really not picky about genre, I don't think I'm enough of a gamer to have such defined preferences. Go hog wild! Personal preferences, big sellers, critically acclaimed, forum favorites, y'know, whatever criteria you guys want I'm cool with.

Any help would be great. Thanks a ton. Stay #positive. Based for life.

Halo: Reach and Halo: CE Anniversary are fairly good, and then of course there's Halo 4. There's also Mass Effect 3, if you've already got 1 and 2.

There's also Games Which Should Be Played On PC, that is, Skyrim and Fallout: New Vegas.

The Witcher 1 and 2! I'm currently playing 2, because I immensely enjoyed the first one, and the second one is even better. The world is mostly pretty generic, elves, dwarves and humans. You're a witcher, a professional monster slayer (who you gonna call?) who gets drawn into events far beyond what he expected. The story is ok, nothing new, but what make the game shine are the choices you have to make. I really thought hard about some, and that's always a good sign.

I have Skyrim for the 360 and find it absolutely wonderful. I'm not the type who spends hours modding so the 360 is perfect, and some of the mechanics (I'm looking at you lockpicking) are better. With the 360 controller.

Blask ops 1 and 2 if you like that.

I'd hold off on Mass Effect, there's supposedly a "battlechest" edition coming out soon that will include all 3 games.

Bayonetta is great too, as is the newest Mortal Kombat. Speaking of fighting games, also look into Blazblue (both of them) and Marvel vs. Capcom 3 if you like those.

Borderlands 1 and 2 are fantastic. The Fallout series is great.

I'd give some information on each, but, well, without knowing which are likely to interest you most, that's a bit too many to be practical. I'd end up spending an hour writing this - I know, I've done that before...
