Give them a chance masterlinkace – actually play them instead of relying on popular opinion, or if you have go past 5 minutes and don’t have an opinion already set in your mind.

You may have noticed many of the comments that people really do love Condemned, Banjo Kazooie and the others.

The point of this article is to make more aware of these great games to take a chance on, because now that they’re so cheap you’re not risking much by buying any of them.

What a load of rubbish, have you played these games at all past the first 5 minutes, or simply thrown them in, they’ve not been Gears Of Boring Bloody War, or Call Of Duty number 99, and then taken them back. Many are treading new ground as new IP’s. Which usually don”t turn out perfect like a second or third iteration of a known franchise. So things are bound to go a stray here and there. But that’s the mark of a GAMER over a game player.

A “Gamer” sees the “Possibility” – not the flaws, he/she works past the flaws and sees what the developer was attempting to do. I suppose all the early 1st-Gen Xbox games were all trash too . .

there’s a good reason why people haven’t played these games, because they are mostly average at best. this list should really be called, top ten xbox 360 games that you haven’t played, and it wouldn’t do you any better to try.

Maybe they’ll list that one in part two….

I never got around to playing the original Condemned game, though I remember being very impressed by the footage I saw… which is why I was disappointed when I played the sequel – I really couldn’t get into it.

If I didn’t like the sequel… would you folks still recommend that I give the original a shot?

Not a bad list. I think The Bourne Conspiracy should be up here too, great game with a sweet fight mechanic

I guess you’ll need to wait and see!

All I can say is 3 of the 5 games in Part 2 have had unusually long development times, if that’s any clue…

I hope you wack Too Human on your list!

Sure it had problems and lacked some polish but its the best (if not) only dungeon crawler that you can pick up for under 20 bucks on 360.

If you Diablo meets Geometry Wars sounds good, it’s worth a look.

Condemned was fantastic, it still gives me the creeps!

Nuts n Bolts was one of the best games of last year in my opinion… just not for hardcore narrow minded franchise purists! lol

I too haven’t played much of Overlord but I continue to hear good things.

I suggest Gameplay.co.uk you can pick both those titles up for about $30. Or just use Game share on our affiliate list which can get you a sweet quick swap.

Banjo Kazooie was a awesome game. Check out our review which gave it a 9.5/10.

I also am a HUGE Condemned 1 fan. It was the first game to really scare me. Thought the ending was meh…
