15 Best Xbox Games Of The Decade (So Far)
Does Halo 5 or Rise of The Tomb Raider really have a chance of topping these Xbox classics?
When it came to video game exclusives, Microsoft was able to absolutely storm out the gate with their first console release - creating some of the industrys most recognisable and long lasting gaming icons in the process. From Master Chief and Halo to Marcus Fenix and Gears of War, both the original Xbox and the Xbox 360 were home to genre defining characters and games. With the release of the Xbox One, Microsoft has only upped its commitment to exclusives to make sure it stays one step ahead of the competition. The latest E3 has shown just how dedicated the publisher is to creating must have killer apps. By showing the likes of ReCore and Rise of the Tomb Raider, its clear that Microsoft is only attempting to improve on its long standing tradition of creating and helping create definitive console exclusives. And there's potentially never been a more important time for these upcoming games to succeed, as Microsoft attempts to reinvent the wheel enough to offset the fan adoration that Sony has managed to win back in the past few years. So with Microsoft gearing up to deliver its second wave of exclusives starting this holiday, its time to look into the huge library of games the console giant has amassed in the past five years to get an idea of the standards these new titles will be held against.
