With the next generation of consoles already underway and the release of the Xbox One this friday, we continue with a tribute to our favorite gaming experiences on our old pal, the Xbox 360. This is part 2 of the best NEW franchises that were launched during the 360's lifespan. If you missed Part 1 of this tribute, be sure to check it out to see #10 through #5, but here was the criteria I used when compiling this list:
- The franchise must have at least two games in the series
- The franchise debuted during the 360's generation (so you won't see any Halo on this list)
- And, if a friend was buying the 360 today and asked "What games should I play on this system?"
