If you like this article, be sure to check Xbox LifeStyle for a list of the top 100 Xbox 360 games!

Intros are lame. So yeah, whatever. Read this article. It’s in ALPHABETICAL ORDER so don’t freak out and post an angry comment. Also, we realize that some of the games on this list haven’t quite been released yet, but who cares? I only put games that have already been reviewing well, and this list will serve much better as a buyer’s guide for this Christmas because of it. Please note that prices listed are subject to change at Amazon’s whim, as are PSN prices. Enjoy!
