The Xbox 360 completely dominated its generation of consoles. Launching ahead of the Wii and PS3 by a year likely did a lot to help this. It wasn’t all green for Microsoft though, as the Red Ring of Death incident did cost them a great deal. Eventually, the other two platforms caught up, for some relatively good sales numbers overall in their respective generations.

Still, when asked who won this era overall, most gamers would probably say Xbox 360. The library was huge from exclusives to third party titles, many of which are available to play on Xbox One and its sequel of consoles. However, there are some big omissions most fans would like to play again.  

10 Binary Domain 

This game was made by part of the Yakuza team at Sega, although it is not connected to the Yakuza universe at all. It’s a futuristic, team-based cover shooter about androids losing control and trying to destroy the world.

Binary Domain is the best Terminator game ever created without the actual license. The story is over the top and the characters constantly spout cheesy lines, giving this game an irresistible charm. 

9 Max Payne 3

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Max Payne franchise. So far, only the first game has been rereleased on more modern consoles via PS4’s PS2 Classics line. The second game never left the Xbox generation, other than on PC.

The same is true for Max Payne 3 of the Xbox 360 generation. Like the second, it’s available to buy on Steam though. Updating the list to make both of these games playable on Xbox One would be a great way to celebrate this anniversary. 

8 Alpha Protocol

Since Microsoft now owns Obsidian Entertainment, it is odd that this game isn’t on the service. Alpha Protocol was an Obsidian original game that took their dialogue and RPG expertise to a new genre: spy thrillers.

This title would have been best left in the oven for a few more months, as it was buggy and lacked overall polish. That said, fans still appreciated what it was going for. It’s been completely delisted from any digital service, even Steam, so getting this back may take a miracle. 

7 The Lord of the Rings: War In The North

This forgotten RPG may be best thing that the Lord of the Rings property touched outside of the films. That’s including the Shadow of Mordor games.

Gamers can play this title alone or with two other friends. Its narrative plays out like a parallel story to the main events of the trilogy. It’s been delisted everywhere, probably due to the license. Getting it back will be another case of tricky maneuvering, if it's possible at all.

6 Mortal Kombat

Most know the 2011 Mortal Kombat game by just that tittle. It is technically the ninth in the series, but got rid of the numbering because the developers thought things were getting a little too convoluted. So instead, they used a time mechanic and rewound the lore.

This basically rebooted the series into the diverse narrative that fans have come to love for a decade now. Its innovation still breaks bounds for fighting games. As much praise as it got, along with Mortal Kombat vs DC, are not available as backwards compatible games on Xbox One. 

5 Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3

There are no Dynasty Warriors or Samurai Warriors games available to play via backwards compatibility. Of those two main series and their spinoffs, Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3 deserves to come back the most.

As it is an anime license, resurrecting this title may not be as easy as Koei Tecmo reaching into their own department. However, this game still deserves a comeback. It still looks good thanks to the cel-sharing aesthetic, it’s just a great homage to the Gundam series. 

4 Lollipop Chainsaw

Lollipop Chainsaw was an under-appreciated game that came out at a bad time. It’s also not exactly the most polished, as the reviews were average.

That said, some gamers love weird titles that fail at the overall level, but exceed at creativity. Those players should not miss out on this zombie action game. James Gunn helped write the English translation, which might be the biggest plus for this forgotten hack and slash Xbox game. 

3 The Saboteur

In a time where open-world sandbox games were a dime a dozen, this was one of the last efforts of the Xbox 360 generation to try and rival Grand Theft Auto. It took place during World War II in a Nazi occupied Paris.

The Saboteur started off in black and white, but the more the city was liberated, the more color would return. Though some regard this as the best part of the game, the gameplay is decent enough to warrant a re-release via backwards compatibly. Players can still enjoy this game on PC via EA’s service.

2 X-Men Origins: Wolverine

X-Men Origins: Wolverine is based on a not-so-great movie. The game itself, however, is a great hack and slash adventure. One of the best aspects is how it allows Wolverine to get bloody, unlike the film franchise.

While he's not getting into Kratos levels of gore, but it is more than the movies. Since it is based on a license, it’ll be difficult to bring back anytime soon, unless Activision and Disney can shake hands. 

1 50 Cent: Blood On The Sand

This may seem like an odd choice, as not many appreciated this game at the time. However, the premise alone should pique players' interest. It was an ambitious stab at a Call of Duty style game, but with the titular 50 Cent and his G-Unit being the playable cast.

The story involves 50 Cent performing in the Middle East, and getting paid a literal crystal skull for his work. A terrorist cell wants to grab this prize, so 50 Cent and his crew start a war. It’s a good time with a friend via co-op, to say the least, from this Xbox generation.
