Remember, these suggestions are to buy, to what this Christmas, so the list is focused primarily on recent releases. Anyway, let’s go. In no particular order, these are the Games Blog Top 10 Xbox 360 games to buy this Christmas. . .

Modern Warfare 2 The best-selling game of the year and a must if you play online. But be warned, for beginners, a frustrating learning curve, prepare to be better equipped enemies – usually young people with time, and to kill – Take You Down constantly. Fortunately, the development path is so finely honed that it is not until you win both series, and respect. If that sounds too much like hard work then the single-player story is very entertaining – even if relatively short – on its own. Such a shame about the airport level, however. And just when I thought time had got over his teenage growing pains as well.

Fifa 10 / PES 2010 Ah, the big football game debate. I really could not choose between them and those who should decide, depending on your a Footy-loving 360 owner be happy. Besides, there are some differences. FIFA is slow, methodical and realistic. It also has the right of all teams and players, even if the similarities still alarmingly off times. PES is better images and animations but also a faster more fluid game play on the pitch. Fifa has more online options, scrambles PES has more exciting goal area. I would go still with PES, if I have to choose really, but this is too close to call.

Dragon Age: Origins also on the list was Keith’s PS3 but it is too good to miss for 360 owners. This is an epic role that the patient gamers who their teeth into something a little meatier than the normal shoot n ‘Sports titles will appeal to. Patience is the key but – Dragon Age takes a, um, age, to get started. With a text overload and occasionally ugly visuals Dragon Age may not seem a minute winner on Christmas Day. But give him a chance to get going – about 5-10 hours (!) – And you’re likely to get addicted to it and still play on New Years Day and beyond.

1 vs 100, it is a live quiz show on the Xbox that allows you against thousands of other players at the same time. What could go wrong? Nothing really. OK to actually profit includes a lucky guesses and disturbingly fast reflexes. But 1vs100 sent you to compete against your friends who you play at the same time an incentive, even if the prices are seemingly out of reach. Again, you need an Xbox Live subscription, but this is perfect for the whole family on Christmas Day.

Forza Motorsport 3 One of the fathers and uncles of these. Forza is a serious sim engine that lets you fiddle with engines and tweak just about anything, what would a petrolhead. The plot is at times almost like paint RPG with upgrades galore, and even if you do not want, or you are tuning your car is always a reward waiting just around the corner. It looks to be fabulous, while there are a variety of excellent properties online. Probably one of the boys, but for motor sport enthusiasts there is no better game on the 360th

Xbox Live Subscription Yes, it costs £ 40-odd pounds for a year and yes, play the PS3 and Wii online for free. But Live is streets ahead of them – even though PS3 gets relatively quickly – and now Facebook, Twitter and live Sky TV content as well as a downloadable game of the stack. But it is the online play elements that really worth the money. Friends lists, cross-game chat, 1vs100 (see below). An offline-360 is only half of a console.
