Any fan of the Xbox 360 knows you will never be short of sports games to play. But which ones are the very best? From basketball to soccer, here is a look at our top five.
Trials Evolution
When the fast-paced Trials Evolution racing game came out in 2011, it was one of the best racing games seen in a long time, and it still holds up today. It received universal acclaim from critics upon its release. The object of the game is simple: complete the course as quickly as you can with as few crashes as possible. You will also have to avoid more and more obstacles as the levels progress. It is an old-school idea coupled with amazing graphics and smooth modern gameplay, and it is a heck of a lot of fun to play as you evolve through the trials of Trials Evolution.
NBA 2K11
The twelfth game in the NBA 2K series came out in 2010, and it ended up being one of the best basketball games available for the Xbox 360. Under a year after its release on various platforms, NBA 2K11 had sold 5.5 million copies globally. The basketball simulation game is great fun to play, and it is elevated to new heights by its realistic depictions of the National Basketball Association. There are modes where you can choose real or customizable players at different points in their NBA careers, and you can play through different simulated seasons. There are also two new modes in NBA 2K11 that focus on Michael Jordan. Although NBA 2K11 is arguably the best basketball game available for the Xbox 360, there are plenty of other exciting basketball games available on other platforms, including the hoop-tastic Basketball Star slot game at Casumo casino.
Madden NFL 15
The best Madden NFL game for the Xbox 360 has to be this one. This EA Sports football game was released in 2014. Madden NFL 15 is a return to form for the franchise. Longstanding fans of the series will love the gameplay and features, but the game is also ideal for anyone who has not yet played a Madden NFL video game. Interestingly, as with other games in the series, EA Sports conducted a vote for fans to elect the athlete who would appear on the cover art of Madden NFL 15. It was the Seattle Seahawks’ cornerback Richard Sherman who won the vote, and his teammates are also included on the game’s start menu.
Fight Night Round 4
The fourth game in the boxing series by EA Sports is the best of the bunch and packs a punch. It was released for Xbox 360 in 2009. Fight Night Round 4 contains 48 licensed real-life boxers, including Ricky Hatton, Mike Tyson, and Muhammad Ali. The game also improves upon its predecessor with new physics-based controls, a redesigned Career Mode, and a new Legacy Mode. There is also more focus on counter punching. Furthermore, Fight Night Round 4 was the very first game to include Flyweight and Bantamweight classes. In addition to featuring some of the best real-life boxers the sport has ever known, the game features 12 real arenas, including the MGM Grand and Boardwalk Hall.
Pro Evolution Soccer 2018
PES 2018 was the final game in the series to be released for Xbox 360 and PS3. It is also the last game in the series to feature Super Cup, Europa Cup, and UEFA Champions League licenses and the Borussia Dortmund partnership. So, it is a good job that the seventeenth title in the Pro Evolution franchise is arguably the best. The great thing is, every element that made the previous titles so good has been left untouched, while plenty of new features and modes have been added to elevate the gameplay. PES 2018 includes Random Selection Match, Online Co-op, new lifelike player models, and new menus with images of real players. When this game was launched, the online gaming magazine Gamespot called it the most satisfying soccer game ever made, and it certainly still feels that way a couple of years later.

With the development of "Crimes & Punishments" on Xbox 360, PS3, and PC advancing quickly, New Crimes & Punishments Screenshots have emerged giving us the first clues for the new Sherlock Holmes.
The new investigation game developed by Frogwares takes this opportunity to unveil a series of 4 new screenshots, testimony of the progress made on the game since its last appearance. This new ambitious title in the series of the Sherlock Holmes investigation games will be unveiled to international press next week at E3, where it will be presented in every detail for the first time.
Today's screenshots show that Crimes & Punishments definitely marks the biggest step ever made by the Sherlock Holmes games. Giving up their homemade engine in favor of Epic's Unreal Engine 3, Frogwares Studio first allows the game to benefit from richer, more immersive and detailed visuals, for both environments and characters. Check them out below.
However, this new engine not only benefits the game's graphics, and it also allows the development of new investigation mechanics: in total, the game offers 14 gameplay mechanics that we will be pleased to present in more detail through screenshots and videos in the coming months. From the beginning of each of the 8 cases of the game, to the arrest of culprits and the moral choices that will be presented to the players, these new mechanics give the feeling that we ARE Sherlock Holmes, and enable them to fully use the incredible talents and gifts known to all fans, such as his skill to guess many details about someone's life simply by glancing at them - or to imagine and reconstruct the course of event by carefully observing all the key details of a crime scene.
