1. Fallout: New Vegas

You could probably sink about 100 hours into New Vegas and you'd still be finding new details you hadn't noticed before. It is quite simply one of the finest RPGs ever made and it is almost enough to make Game Pass worthwhile on its own.

You play a Courier who was shot in the head and left for dead in the post apocalypse's Mohave Wasteland. From there, the world is your oyster, though it is a world rife with danger. Whether from the war between the New Californian Republic and Caesar's Legion, other myriad little eccentric factions, radioactive monstrosities, and much more, it's difficult to sell New Vegas in a novel way, given its love is so ubiquitous.

If, shockingly, you actually haven't played New Vegas, what are you doing? Go! Get it off Game Pass - why would you hesitate? Beyond that scintillating and powerfully persuasive rhetoric, there's the simple acknowledgment that New Vegas has earned its place in the pantheon of great 360 games - if not great games in general.

Game Pass gives you the perfect excuse to see what all the fuss is about.
