You may note the absence of impressive, unforgettable games, but the hard truth is that, no matter how much we love those games and more, Xbox 360's 10 years have been so good to gamers that there simply isn't room for everything on the Top 25.

Our criteria are as follows: The primary question this top 25 list is intended to answer is simple: "What are the 25 best games we played on this platform?" How much fun we had with the games is obviously our primary concern, but we also considered elements like longevity/staying power, influence, and innovation. This year, your top 25 game selection committee is Brian Albert (Editor), Ryan McCaffrey (Executive Previews Editor), Mitch Dyer (Editor), Miranda Sanchez (Associate Editor), Tristan Ogilvie (Video Producer), and Brandin Tyrrel (Associate Editor). But with the release of the Xbox One, the Xbox 360's enormous lifespan is inevitably coming to a close. Throughout that decade, its game library has grown to include some of the best shooters, RPGs, platformers, and adventure games ever seen. This November, the Xbox 360 will turn 10 years old. Editor's Note: List last updated September 11, 2015.
