Ranks are based on aggregate scores from Metacritic.com, with descriptions and reviews from Amazon.com.
1. Braid
Score = 93% Rated E10+ (2008) [Download]
Braid is a celebrated single player puzzle-platformer for play on the Xbox 360 gaming system. Drawn in a dreamlike painterly style, in the world of Braid the player manipulates the flow of time in strange and unusual ways to traverse the dangerous levels and solve puzzles in order to rescue an abducted princess. Braid treats your time and attention as precious; there is no filler in this game. Every puzzle shows you something new and interesting about the game world and story, keeping you engaged from beginning to end.Originally only available only as a download through Xbox LIVE Arcade using Microsoft Points, Braid can now be yours via online game code. Players will still need both an Xbox 360 console connected to broadband Internet and an Xbox LIVE account game download for play.
Braid [Online Game Code]
Amazon Price: (as of 02/12/2012)![]()
"Braid is one of the top three games available on Xbox Live Arcade. While it LOOKS like a platformer, it is actually a time bending puzzle game that will challenge and entertain you every step of the way. As an added bonus, the gameplay reveals a multi-layered story which can lead to some insightful, if not down right philosophical discussion, if you so choose. I highly recommend it."

2. Street Fighter IV
Score = 93% Rated: Teen (2009)
Street Fighter IV PH
Amazon Price: $10.95 (as of 02/12/2012)![]()
"Street fighter IV is a must-have title for any self-respecting fighting fan. Period. What I like most in Street Fighter IV is the mechanics. The controls feel smooth doing Hudokens and Tiger uppercuts never felt better. SF IV is fun to play alone, on couch with friends or online making it have high replay value."
3. Guitar Hero II
Score = 92% Rated: Teen (2007)
Guitar Hero 2 Bundle with Guitar
Amazon Price: $146.00 (as of 02/12/2012)![]()
"Guitar Hero for the Xbox 360 brings out the animal in any Xbox 360 owner who has ambitions to be like their rock heroes. The gameplay follows suit like it did with the Playstation 2 edition, as you strum your guitar through over 50 classic rock songs. What seperates this one nicely though is that you can actually download songs from Xbox live and use those songs on this game as well to add to the fun."
4. Rock Band 2
Score = 92% Rated: Teen (2008)
Rock Band 2 lets you and your friends take your band on an even more expansive and immersive world tour - in person or online - and continue your rock and roll fantasy. Featuring a track list with more than 100 on-disc and downloadable tracks from some of the most hallowed bands of the rock pantheon, Rock Band 2 by challenges rockers to master lead guitar, bass guitar, drums and vocals.
Xbox 360 Rock Band 2 Special Edition
Amazon Price: $300.00 (as of 02/12/2012)![]()
"If there is one game that everyone can enjoy, it's Rock Band. From females to males, from 50 year olds to 10 year olds, this game is great entertainment."
5. Forza Motorsport 3
Score = 92% Rated: E for Everyone (2009)
Forza Motorsport 3
Amazon Price: $12.50 (as of 02/12/2012)![]()
"This game is beautiful, inside and out. The number of cars is seemingly limitless, the tracks are plentiful and have a wide variety, and the interface is simple and clean. I would recommend this game to anyone who likes cars or racing games, without hesitation."
6. Batman: Arkham Asylum
Score = 92% Rated: Teen (2009)
Batman Arkham Asylum
Amazon Price: $24.98 (as of 02/12/2012)![]()
"Batman: Arkham Asylum has great pacing and flow, something that many other games in many other genres could learn from. This game is very accessible and entertaining to all that will play it, while maintaining what true Batman fans love about the caped crusader. This is a truly great game, and if you play it you will know how good it is."
7. Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter
Score = 90% Rated: Teen (2006)
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2
Amazon Price: $21.98 (as of 02/12/2012)![]()
"GRAW 2 is an outstanding and immersive experience. I played the game on my surround system with the volume cranked up so I can hear bullets whiz by my head. I definitely recommend this game and you can't beat the price."
8. FIFA Soccer 10
Score = 90% Rated: E for Everyone (2009)
FIFA Soccer 10
Amazon Price: $21.99 (as of 02/12/2012)![]()
"This is a great game. I can play it all they long. It is much improve fro Fifa 09 and the comentaries are great."
9. Portal: Still Alive
Score = 90% Rated: Teen (2008) [Download]
Set in the mysterious Aperture Science Laboratories, Portal has been called one of the most innovative new games on the horizon and will offer gamers hours of unique gameplay. The game is designed to change the way players approach, manipulate, and surmise the possibilities in a given environment; similar to how Half-Life 2's Gravity Gun innovated new ways to leverage an object in any given situation. Players must solve physical puzzles and challenges by opening portals to maneuvering objects, and themselves, through space.Portal: Still Alive [Online Game Code]
Amazon Price: (as of 02/12/2012)![]()
"The stand-alone arcade version of Portal is a terrific little game and well worth the modest cost. If you've got the Orange Box retail game, skip this. But if not, or if you absolutely LOVED it in OB and want to get the extra challenges, go for it. Such a simple concept gets used in so many different ways that the entire game."

"Geometry Wars 2 uses eye-popping, high-contrast graphics that pay homage to the likes of Asteroids and other 80s coin-op video games. Explosions and other visual flourishes are plentiful and brilliantly colorful. The normal audio is a pulsing techno soundtrack which fits perfectly. The combined effect is sheer intensity. "

- Now that Portal 2 and Rock Band 3 are out - there are two more games for the list. Also, if we're talking strictly T rated games (no Black Ops, Mass Effect or Fallout) then Alan Wake should be considered if only for the great atmosphere it brings.
