The most important hallmark and calling card of any home video game system are the quality, diversity and selection of the actual video games that are actually available to play on it. That's because, no matter how many bells, whistles and other funky accessories and features that a home video game console has for it, it all comes down to the games themselves. Simply put, if the video games aren't that interesting and fun to play, then nobody is going to purchase system itself - no matter how many GB processor motherboards the console has built into it.

The above philosophy definitely rings true for the Microsoft Xbox 360 - perhaps even more so. That's because the Xbox 360 has the Microsoft name, brand, history and lineage behind it. Everything that Microsoft touches turns to gold, and it's a big deal should Microsoft ever develop something that isn't of the highest standards and quality. Imagine the scenario that Microsoft has spent millions of dollars to research, develop, market and release the Xbox 360, only to create video games that, well, suck.

Fortunately for Microsoft, the Xbox 360, and definitely for video game players, gamers and fans, the library of video games available for the Xbox 360 are some of the best and most innovative that have ever been developed. Currently, there are approximately 280 games released for the Xbox 360, and each one is brilliant in its graphics, game play, design and interest.
