What's the best XBOX 360 exclusive game in 2010? See our nominees and leave your opinion in the comments.

Okay, this game is coming to the PS3. But that's next year. It was exclusive to the 360 this year, and that's what counts. That and the fact that it was a great game. I love exploring the galaxy, that map music still gets me hyped for my next adventure. Importing your old save from ME1 was a cool idea, though I wish they did more with it.

Halo Reach

The series that defines the XBOX continues to wow us (we'll just forget about that ODST shit for now) and give us countless hours of multi player fun. The latest entry in the Halo saga sets the bar even higher with AI team mates in the campaign that can actually shoot straight, firefight matchmaking and fucking jetpacks! Don't be fooled by King of Jimmy's clones!

Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light

A surprising entry here with an XBLA game, but we had fun playing through this adventure in co-op and solving the puzzles. Hint, if your stuck, through some spears in the wall and have Lara climb on them. 99% solved. Seriously though, most fun I've had with a Lara Croft game in a loooong time.

Fable III

I'll let this Jimmy tell you what he thinks:

"I've gotten 20 hours of gameplay out of Fable III and I'll probably get another 20 hours. I'd also like to recommend Fable II , which is my favorite in the series. But Fable III is still a great game and one of the best this year. Building your team and getting your followers for the revolution is a great idea. Fable III is the only game where you level up, beat the game and then go on an adventure. I like that idea a lot. I just wish the combat was more like Fable II. "

Alan Wake

This game has been talked about at more E3's than anything except GT5, so the hype was a bit over-blown and a let-down was almost surely in the cards. As it turned out, however, this game was pretty good. Sure the graphics looked like they were a few years behind the curve (probably since the engine was built all those E3's ago), but the game played well and the episodic nature of the storytelling worked.

Winners will be announced December 29th. Don't forget to vote for your favorite games in our catalog and leave your opinion below in the comments.

I'll have to say Mass Effect 2 here. Even though they messed some things up, it was still the best on the list.

another notable mention is Splinter Cell Conviction (Hell of a game, just too short)

It's close between reach and Alan wake, but I'm gonna go with Alan wake. The story was much better than Reach's and even though I'm not still playing it I can't wait for the sequel.
