Xbox 360 Games - The new media hungry generation

The Xbox has taken the world by storm and changed the face of gaming for all. In the past when games were less common, it would be deemed more of a hobby rather than something so mainstream such as movies and music. Xbox 360 games have such a vast variety of genres and really appeal to everyone out there, especially with the introduction of the Kinect making the Xbox more family friendly now. There are a lot of high quality Xbox 360 games out there, such as the Gears of War franchise and Microsoft's mascot Master Chief from the Halo series. In fact there are too many to name. Microsoft's Xbox used to appeal more to the hard core gamer. However, following Nintendo's success with the Wii, Microsoft decided that they want to appeal to all spectrum of the audiences hence the introduction of family friendly Xbox 360 games such as Kinectimals and the new Sesame Street game that appeals to the much younger family audience. Recently, Microsoft was seen once again targeting the hardcore genre audience with new titles such as Battlefield Bad Company 3 and the recent release of hardcore titles for Kinect such as Rise of Nightmares and Forza 4 which includes full Kinect features. There are so many good quality Xbox 360 games out there that the Xbox is really the console to buy for gaming. With its added Xbox Live networking, offering the gamer a social launch pad for socializing in party chats and offering superb connection quality in almost every game, it really is the place to be. Many Xbox 360 games offer so much depth and deep story that you could be playing for months. For example, Oblivion with its high calibre RPG elements and fantastic voice acting all round as well as the enormous map that you could spend hours on looking for interesting new discoveries. Not forgetting Mass Effect offering an amazing base story that changes when certain acts are carried out. These games are true masterpieces and have really been a game changer for future Xbox 360 games. As well as Xbox Live offering a completely unique service in terms of video content, social gaming and general all round gaming awesomeness, it gives the user a goal for each game, these are called achievements and have created a lot more depth in Xbox 360 games as the gamer has something to work towards. For example in the new Gears of War 3 game that has recently just been released, you would be rewarded for completing the game on the hardest difficulty and so on. This became so popular that every game on the Xbox 360 must include achievements as a mandatory requirement. Although the Xbox 360 has been around for more than five years now, it kept growing stronger each and every year with its media upgrades and stellar Xbox 360 games that have been released and continually being released.
