Apologies for not keeping this more up-to-date, especially with the great new additions. Added Aeternum, Snops Attack, Chronoblast, and Grid Space Shooter. Removed some of the lesser entries, since the wheat/chaff ratio is improving.

Also, if you have a facebook link for that complete list, I can throw it up on the OP.


What we could also do instead of what I've got on the OP is rate every title (x/10, probably, for such a big list), organize them according to merit, and put a brief description. Won't be doing this all by myself, mind you.

EDIT: Wrong thread...

Also, if you have a facebook link for that complete list, I can throw it up on the OP.

Here you go: XBLA and Indies are listed in separate sections to disc releases:

Thanks for making/maintaining this list. Gonna go on a shopping spree and pick up most of what I've missed. It's probably at least a year or two away, but you never know when MS will pull the plug on 360. They've already reduced the system's functionality for those (such as myself) who no longer have access to the decade-old email accounts they started their Live accounts with.

THREAD NECROMANCY

So, I know that the clock's running out for xbox live service, and thus xblig games being playable on the 360, but I feel like this thread would be incomplete without mention of Valkyrius (it's not even in the list of all shooters that MinuteFong posted in early 2013).

Has kind of a silly warp mechanic as well as ammunition (unlimited on the default weapon, mind), but don't let that scare you away, it's actually quite fun!
