Listing our top 10 games. An initial list.

This is my initial list. The point of this blog will be self exploration, to keep things in check. Each time I update the list, I'll post a new blog, until I'm sure the list is perfect. Here's the first draft. This is a top 10 for all 7 years of the 360. We'll not count anything once the Xbox One was released, since the climate has changed too drastically.

1. Fable II
2. Game of Thrones
3. Prince of Persia
4. Tomb Raider
5. Limbo
6. Arcadecraft
7. Halo 3
8. (tie)Charlie Murder
8. (tie)Scott Pilgrim Vs the World
9. Thor: God of Thunder
10. The Darkness
11. Alice: Madness Returns

Where applicable, these are my criteria for judging.

a. Graphics
b. Gameplay
c. Story
d. Cultural significance
e. Achievement placement
f. Achievement difficulty
g. Multiplayer
h. Leaderboards
i. Characters
j. Length of a experience. Longer not necessarily better.
k. Bugs
l. World building
m. Sequel or not
o. Challenging the platform
p. Uniqueness
r. Sound effects and music
s. Animation
t. Acting
u. Time in development
v. Production value
w. Effects and lighting

What I'd like to hear is what games you think should be on the list that are not on it.
