Everyone loves a good awards show right? Now it appears that Microsoft will give us gamers a say in which titles will be recognized as the cream of the crop for last-generation.
Say what you will about the Xbox One’s struggles, no one can deny the huge run the 360 had (and its impact on the gaming world today). In fact, some at Microsoft have even publically acknowledged (or blamed) the success of the 360 as the reason some have not yet made the change-over to the upgraded hardware.
So to honor it, Microsoft is now showcasing the best the system had to offer with the 2014 Xbox 360 Game Awards. The staff of the Xbox Wire has provided a list of each game (broken down by category), which fans can then vote on.
Since I’ve always wanted to do this, allow me to say in my best regal voice: “And the nominees are…”
