Mathew's list:

Note: for "Exclusive" I'm counting games that are Backwards Compatible on Xbox One/ Series X.

Note: this is SLIGHTLY in order, as in "kind of in order, but affected by exclusivity, possibility of being talked about, and so on"

  2. Pac Man Championship Edition (exclusive for a couple of years, XBLA)
  3. Dead Rising (exclusive for 10 years(!))
  4. Crackdown / Crackdown 2 (exclusive, either is fine)
  5. Deadly Premonition (exclusive in the west for 3 years.)
  6. Fable II (exclusive)
  7. Gears of War (exclusive... not the sequels, no.)
  8. Mamotte Knight ("Protect Me Knight") (exclusive; Indie Games)
  9. Left 4 Dead / Left 4 Dead 2 (console exclusive, absurdly! either is fine)

  13. R-Type Dimensions (exclusive for 5 years, XBLA)
  14. Forza Horizon 2 Presents Fast & Furious (exclusive; XBLA)

  16. Batman: Arkham Asylum (Feels like an Xbox 360 game)
  17. Trials HD (exclusive; XBLA)
  18. Iron Brigade (exclusive for a year, still console exclusive, XBLA... I was choosing between this and Toy Soldiers, for some reason.)
  19. N+ (released on DS and PSP as well, but exclusive levels. XBLA)
  20. The Gunstringer (Kinect!!!)

XBLIG GAMES I DIDN'T LIST BECAUSE I DON'T THINK THEY'D MAKE IT (not that most of the stuff on my list is going to make it) AND/OR THEY WERE PORTED:

Cursed Loot, Escape Goat, Soulcaster 1/2, qrth-phyl, Vidiot Game... etc. I'm happy to talk about any XBLIG games I wanna talk about XBLIG GAMES

HONORABLE MENTIONS THAT I WISH I'D PLAYED:

Amped 3, Operation Darkness, Bangai-O: Missile Fury, Jetpac Refueled

A GAME THAT IS BAD THAT IS PROBABLY ON BRANDON'S LIST AND IS 100% AN "INSERT CREDIT" GAME:

Super Amazing Wagon Adventure
Whichever version of Halo 3 people voted for

I'd love for there to be a way to talk about jokey stuff like:

Diabolical pitch

Sorry about the spacing on this thing, I (brandon) couldn't figure out why it sometimes liked soft returns and sometimes didn't, so uh... ENJOY Also looking at this I am realizing that Jaffe MESSED UP because Ridge Racer 6 also got two nominations and I shouldn't have had to sub it in. SHAME!!!!

Shmattys Smallsh

All kidding aside, I very much enjoyed seeing Frank's list at the bottom. The big two. 😁

Andrew Eikum

It's a shame Lost Odyssey is trapped here, I'd love to replay it.
