5) Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days

Kane and Lynch is one of my most favorite series ever. Now the offline story modes are okay and can be fun, as well as challenging, but the online experience is what makes this game what it is. The online is so fun because it is pretty much a game of cops and robbers, but you can turn on your fellow robbers and keep all the cash for yourself as you partake in a huge heist. "Fragile Alliance" as it's called, now in Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days has many other modes now, such as starting off as a cop instead of a robber, and many other types of modes. This online mode is the kind of experience that can make you not want to leave your chair for a couple of hours, maybe even all night.

4) Elder Scrolls Skyrim

Elder Scrolls Skyrim is one of the most highly anticipated RPG games to ever come out. Previously Elder Scrolls Oblivion was the game to have when you wanted to have a halfway decent RPG, and it was a while until Skyrim had been developed. This game has a vast variety of things to do, and once you complete a couple things in the beginning of the game, you are on your own and can do whatever it is YOU want, which is one thing that was always loved about this game.

3) NHL 2012

Whether you are a hockey fan or not, if you play NHL you would no doubt have a blast. This game can be very addicting especially while playing with a friend. Of course big hockey fans love this game and as someone who is not huge on hockey, I have to say this game is very authentic, and fun. There are plenty of modes, most involving creating a player. The only reason a sports game was added here was because unlike Madden, NHL has less repetitive phrases and gameplay options/modes.

2) Minecraft

Although Minecraft was already released on the PC, It was recently added as a downloadable arcade game on the Xbox Marketplace. This game has endless decision making, and you never experience the same thing twice. There are endless things that you can do. Anything from hunting from diamonds and killing monsters, to building your home or trapping friends and killing them. This game is so fun online that it actually makes up for the block like quality.

1) Batman Arkham City

Batman Arkham City is the ultimate gaming experience for those who are true fans of the Batman series, and comic books. All the voices are on point, and there is a great story line. Also it is much like GTA where you can walk around and do side missions, you are not forced to play the main missions like in most video games. This game brings you as close as you can be to the Batman experience.
