Microsoft's Xbox Developer Direct has generated significant excitement for the future of Xbox gaming. But which Xbox game franchises truly stand out? This tier list considers series from Xbox, Bethesda, and Activision Blizzard (requiring multiple entries – sorry, Indiana Jones!). It focuses on current relevance and historical impact, not every single Xbox game.
Here's a sample tier list, reflecting personal preference and enjoyment:
Doom easily earns an S-tier ranking. The recent entries are phenomenal first-person shooters, and Doom: The Dark Ages looks promising. Forza Horizon also secures an S-tier spot; arguably the best racing games ever made (excluding Burnout 3 and Burnout Revenge). Halo's placement in A-tier might be controversial. While Halo 2 and 3 boast incredible campaigns, recent inconsistencies prevent a higher ranking. Personal preference leans towards Fallout over Elder Scrolls.
