Xbox 360
#5 Viva Pinata
Described as a “life simulation game” by its creators at Rare, Viva Pinata tasks players with turning a plot of land into a beautiful garden. This can be done alone, or more preferably with a friend. Like other sandbox games, Viva Pinata is open ended, giving players opportunities to do whatever they want to with their garden and attract new forms of animal pinata to live there.
#4 Gears of War Series
There are few things more enjoyable than playing a Gears of War game with a buddy. Sure, they’re great in deathmatch, but co-op is a whole other bundle of fun that gives you the impression that you’re in a buddy action movie like The Expendables.
#3 Castle Crashers
Castle Crashers pays tribute to the classic brawlers like Streets of Rage and Double Dragon, but with a charming setting with knights, orcs, and all manner of fantasy creatures.
#2 Rock Band 3
Rock Band 3 is the pinnacle of music games, which began a rather long time ago with the likes of Guitar Hero and Dance Dance Revolution. Rock Band 3 offers players the chance to pretend at being a part of a real life rock band with a host of plastic instruments and a very extensive selection of songs to choose from.
#1 Halo Series
The Halo series is by far the biggest reason to own an Xbox 360. Not only do they feature a great single player campaign, and excellent multiplayer options, the Halo games also provide a fantastic co-op mode which can be played by up to two players in split screen mode, or over the internet.
