Watch out for these lesser known titles

Expert Review

The Xbox 360 is a great console and we have made it very clear more than a few occasions, but before the fanboys start sweating it out, let me make it clear that we love our PS3s as well. The Xbox 360 does boast of some really cool exclusives and there are more joining in. This feature will help you choose you future favorites. Do keep in mind that I haven't mentioned games like Final Fantasy XIII and Halo ODST, this list features lesser known titles, which are equally important.

Crackdown 2

The original Crackdown proved to be a major success for the Xbox 360. It was a game that took open-world games to a whole new level. Top-notch presentation, great gameplay, replay value and co-op play were just a few of the key factors that led to its success. The sequel is coming out soon and although details are scarce, we have an E3 video to share.

Alan Wake

More than four years in the making, Alan Wake should be coming out soon or that's what we are hoping. The game revolves around a writer and his never-ending nightmare which he indirectly constructed. Alan's primary weapon in the game is his "Light" in its various forms; don't be surprised if you end up searching for batteries in the game instead of ammo. The game is a psychological thriller from the makers of Max Payne, so we have really high hopes for this one.

Forza Motorsport 3

Forza Motorsport is Microsoft's answer to Gran Turismo. It's a driving simulation exclusive to the Xbox 360. The games in the series have received critical acclaim and are considered to be on par with the best simulation games on any platform. The third iteration is bound for release this year and is looking really good. Forza Motorsport 3 is the biggest Forza ever, with more content than an average racer can handle, including more tracks and cars.
