    So happy that Modern Warfare 2 barely gets into the top 20.

    Gears of War at #10 is a good spot for it, GTA IV shouldn't even be in the damn list tbh. Modern Warfare should be at #19.

    But i agree with the Storm & Xeros, Mass Effect at #1 is simply amazing.

    I agree with the top 3 in the list. Amazing games. Although I'm shocked MW2 is barely in the top 20.

    Some things I would change:

    >Dead Rising would be much higher up the list, probably top 5.
    >ODST and Halo Wars wouldn't even be close to being on my list, Halo 3 would have been on the list, but maybe 15-20th.
    >I would have had either Fallout 3 or Bioshock as No.1
    >Where the *bleep* is Arkham Asylum?
    >Mass Effect wouldn't be in my top 10 (sorry, personal preference )

    Gears 2 is better than gears 1 and Virtua Fighter over Street Fighter and Tekken? yeah right even Soul Calibur and Naruto RoaN are better than Virtua Fighter.

    I disagree with #1, so many more fulfilling games then Mass Effect out there.

      Because Mass Effect is possibly the best RPG on the 360 at the moment, shortly followed by Fallout 3/Borderlands/Dragon Age Origins.
