Whatoplay presents the Top 10 Xbox 360 Action Games of All-Time
Our ranking is not a personal opinion.
It's based on a 1 to 10 score that aggregates gamers and critics' reviews into a unique
score called playscore.
Opening at number 10 is Assassin's Creed Brotherhood
''Fight in the shadows''
Overall, the game is like Assassin's Creed 2, but with an enhanced graphical quality,
a larger open-world to explore, a thrilling ''hunt or be hunted'' multiplayer, and the
Apprentice system; where you can recruit assassins to help you when things get rough.
Sadly though the story is somewhat lackluster, and sometimes audiovisual glitches pop-out.
It holds a playscore of 8.8
At number 9 is Saints Row IV
Crazy Fun!
This sequel is like a 'cheat-code enabled' version of Saints Row The Third, but with
more super powers, better character customization like my personal favorite, the dubstep gun,
and Aliens!
Though the game is so fun to play casually, the story is somewhat - short and forgettable...
Also, as time goes by, combat gets boring.
But those are overshadowed by the sheer fun and humor that this game offers.
It has a playscore of 8.9
Ranked 8th is Watch Dogs
Cyber attack at its best!
A unique game, that looks and plays great.
I like how they give more importance on stealth gameplay and tactical approach, since it really
gives you the feeling of being a black hat hacker.
great concept and solid gameplay
While Aiden Pearce's character is bleak, the other supporting characters are really interesting
and gives color to the whole experience.
Overall, its a good game.
A playscore of 8.9
7th place is Batman: Arkham Asylum
Explore the dark and bizarre confines of Arkham Asylum as you try to put a stop to Joker's
plans to bomb Gotham City.
Its success is based on: fast-paced yet uncomplicated combat.
tons of unlockables and a very interesting story mode.
Sometimes you can't fight certain Supervillains, which is a downer, but the overall video game
and comic-based value of this game is too good not to notice.
a playscore of 8.9
Number 6 is The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
The dragons are here!
This game set the high bar for open world roleplaying games with
A big world to explore complete with hidden dungeons, ferocious creatures and warring
factions.
Interesting lores and side-quests that you can pick up any time.

And, most important of all, a strong modding community that continues to improve the game!
It holds a playscore of 8.9
5th place is Red Dead Redemption
Saddle your horses and get crazy in this awesome Wild West rendition of GTA.
Its open world is wide, beautiful and full of cowboy things to do; Ranging from herding
cattles to heart-pounding pistol duels.

lip synching, and a superb multiplayer, that can even be considered a whole separate game
in itself.
