Whatoplay presents the Top 10 Xbox 360 Games of 2015 since January to June 2015
This list is not a personal opinion.
It�s based on a 1 to 10 score that aggregates critic & gamer reviews into a unique score
called the playscore.
For games that don�t have playscores, we use critic or gamer reviews to rank them.
Number 10 is NASCAR �15.
Put your seatbelts on, and let that engine roar - It�s NASCAR time!
For hardcore fans..
Hurray! and for the casual fans.. meh..
NASCAR 15 is good but not great� and sadly it looks more like a re-skin of the previous
game.
But with a few tweaks, like: updated drivers and racing schedules
a smoother online play and a cheaper price!
20 bucks for an updated game doesn�t sound so bad.
Ranked 9th is Farming Simulator 15.
When I bought this game it was only out of curiosity� and thank god I did.
The game�s actually quite good.
Just be aware....
You need to spend a looooot of time to fully enjoy everything that it offers.
Plant seeds, till the land, harvest crops, cut down trees, raise chickens, and more!
Plus!
there's the online mode, where now you can play with your friends!
One less, lonely gamer - Check!
8th in the ranking is MotoGP 15.
This is bike racing done right!
Following last year's ground-breaking game, MotoGP 15 improves on:
- overall, a better bike handling.
- realistic, organic-looking environment.
- and the new Team Creation mode.
Build your team, attract sponsors, win races, and become...
Champions!
One thing, though.
I would've loved playing this game at 60 fps..
Imagine the smoothness.
That would've been great!
Number 7 is Goat Simulator.
Probably the only game where "bugs" are the main selling point..
well, I mean aside from the goat.
This clearly isn't much of a game, but maaaan, it's one hell of a good time!
- exaggerated physics is a blast to experiment on.
- hilarious achievements.
- and the best part is?
Multiplayer.
up to four players can do all kinds of crazy mayhem� to each other or to the game.
aint� that the good life?
Ranked number 6 is Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin.
This is a better and tougher version of Dark Souls 2.
Who could resist a DS2 game, Specially with all its past DLCs in it!
- better graphics - smarter monsters
- a more polished story - and an expanded multiplayer!
More people, more fun!
This game represents the "souls" series in its final form.
Veterans get ready for more agonizing hours of frustration and cursing.
And to newcomers..
Good luck!
5th is Resident Evil: Revelations 2 - Ep. 1
It truly is the dawn of episodic games.
More and more high quality games are being released in this format.
And by breaking the story in parts, the plot develops well and doesn�t feel rush.
This is true for Revelations 2.
It has
an Interesting co-op mode, A fresh, compelling storyline.
And an awesome "Raid" mode.
However, co-op play does not support online play, which was a bummer.
A playscore of 8.
Number 4 is Battlefield Hardline.
The experimental break-away game of DICE.
This game takes you out from the overdone frontlines and into a GTA-like urban warfare.
Featuring: - Police cars, new guns.
- a multiplayer mode that surprisingly works well with the battlefield style.
- a hilarious arrest system.
- and an easy to grasp gameplay.
So if you're new to the franchise, then this is the perfect time to dive in.
Hardline gets a playscore of 8.3
3rd is Life is Strange: Episode 1.
One of the newest episodic games that stood-out.
The game leans heavily on a choice-driven format� Meaning every decision you make
affects the direction of the story -- be it big or small.
And that's what makes it great!
Not only does it test your wits and morals, but it also gives you a ton of replayability.
However, the "rewind" mechanic somewhat diminishes the story's impact, which is ironic.
A playscore of 8.5
Second in the ranking is Resident Evil HD Remaster.
Who knew that having: limited vision of the surroundings due to
fixed camera angles.
restricted action choices.
and scarce supplies, makes a game so intense, it becomes awesome.
Resident Evil did just that, although it�s only a remaster, a lot of modern-day horror
games can�t compare to this game�s history and
brilliance.
Its high-tension, puzzle-rich exploration and highly improved graphics, made it a �comeback�
classic.
A playscore of 8.7
And the highest-rated Xbox 360 of 2015 so far is Dragon Ball Xenoverse.
A massive universe consisting of everything you love about Dragon Ball!
By taking what�s good about the anime and combining it with role-playing elements, It
created one solid Dragon Ball game.
Character creation and customization is so fun that I spent more time with it than i
can imagine.
and the new take on the story made it fresh, and accessible for people new to the franchise.
Not being picky.
But I hope NamcoBandai put more effort into the combat.
Just sayin�.
A playscore of 8.8
To recap, here are the Top 10 Xbox 360 games of 2015 so far.
