XBox awards
From thecrankyhermit
This is a guide to the best games made on the XBox, year-by-year. Each year will have a number of games that represent the best crop of that year, divided by genre.
I only list games that were either originally made for XBox, or were ported within the same year of their original release.
I hate MMORPGs, traditional sports games, and Maxis-style sim games. I don't include any of them.
