5. Ninja Gaiden II

Publisher: Microsoft Game Studios, Developer: Team Ninja, Release Date: June 3, 2007, ESRB Rating: M

While the sequel to the greatest 3D action game ever created wasn't as good as the original, it is still an impressive exclusive game on the Xbox 360. The action is as slick as ever and so is the game's old school difficulty. Ninja Gaiden II will definitely put your gaming skills to the test; not to mention that you can record and share videos of your accomplishments in this hard but rewarding title.

4. Fable II

Publisher: Microsoft Game Studios, Developer: Lionhead Studios, Release Date: October 21, 2008, ESRB Rating: M

Many were wary about Fable II after the first game failed to deliver in several promising features. Fortunately, the sequel put all the fear away by creating an engaging world where players can freely play around in. Thanks to the streamlined gameplay, anyone can enjoy the experience from the get-go. Thus, you shouldn't be surprise that Fable II is the best exclusive role-playing game on the Xbox 360.

3. Crackdown

Publisher: Microsoft Game Studios, Developer: Realtime Worlds, Release Date: February 20, 2007, ESRB Rating: M

Many remember Crackdown for being the game that was bundled with the Halo 3 beta code. That is truly unfortunate as this Xbox 360 exclusive is one of the best games on the system. From the creator of Grand Theft Auto, Crackdown is simply a more chaotic version with its own unique open world gameplay. Add in the addition of great cooperative online and you get one addicting game to play.

2. Gears of War 2

Publisher: Microsoft Game Studios, Developer: Epic Games, Release Date: November 7, 2008, ESRB Rating: M

The first Gears of War blew everything away visually when it came out. While it didn't have quite the impact, the sequel is bigger and better in just about every way possible with more open levels and ultra-violent gameplay. With the inclusion of a five-player cooperative mode to boot, Gears of War 2 is about as good as a third-person shooter can get on the Xbox 360.

1. Halo 3

Publisher: Microsoft Game Studios, Developer: Bungie Software, Release Date: August 21, 2007, ESRB Rating: M

The flagship franchise for the Xbox brand is also home to the best exclusive game on the Xbox 360. Halo 3 is the best game in the series yet with its epic campaign mode and an abundance of multiplayer features including the ability to record and save films in addition to a limited level creation mode. Needless to say, you will get plenty of playing time out of this classic game. Thus, Halo 3 is the best exclusive game yet on the Xbox 360.
