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 – apologies, Indiana Jones!). It reflects personal preference and historical impact, not an exhaustive list of every Xbox franchise.
Here's a sample tier list, showcasing individual enjoyment over the years:
Doom easily earns an S-tier ranking. The recent entries are among the best first-person shooters, and Doom: The Dark Ages promises more of the same. Forza Horizon also secures an S-tier spot; arguably surpassing even Burnout 3 and Burnout Revenge as top-tier racing games. Halo's placement in A-tier might be controversial. While Halo 2 and 3 boast exceptional campaigns, recent inconsistencies prevent a higher ranking. Personally, I'm a Fallout enthusiast over Elder Scrolls – power armor over dragons any day!
