Best Xbox 360 Games That Aren't Recruiting You For the Military?
The US government and Microsoft teamed up to flood the market with games that represent actual fighting situations in actual locations that they have troops on the ground. It's a very obvious way to brainwash your 11 year old kid into fantasizing about joining the Army as soon as he possibly can. Sure, Playstation does it too but Xbox really has that market cornered. And that is why I am asking:

What games are good for the Xbox 360 if you don't wan't to go around "shootin' turrorists"?

I just got a 360 and I have a few racing games so far.

The "shooter" games were created by the military to recruit kids. They even admit it openly.

C'mon guys.... Xbox has to have some good games that don't involve 80 hours of walking around with a machine gun. I like racing games because I feel that my daily reflexes are improved by them. My driving record is clean... no accidents. I'm like a cat....

Googled Skyrim... looks pretty good.... I was a big Warcraft player before there was World of Warcraft. I used to play Warcraft II in a Cyber cafe. (I worked there too...)

My brother in law loved that game. I used to just enjoy watching him play it... I was the one that hooked his Xbox wi-fi card up for him. My nephew would play the shooters and he told me that he was going to join the Army when he was 18. Now you know why I made this thread.

Borderlands 1 and 2 are loads of fun. I didn't really like Borderlands The Pre-Sequel, but that doesn't mean you wouldn't.

I've been hooked on Terraria for the longest time. There's quite a lot to this game. Building things, crafting better gear, boss fights - this game has a ton of content.

If you're into survival horror, check out the Dead Space series.

I have a dead space game on my PS3... You know what my problem is... I get these games and then I don't play them. I'm a bit of a game hoarder.... I think it goes back to my 10 year old NES/C64 mindset....

I like games I can just pick up and play now, and then turn them off. I'm not big into epic adventures anymore. At least not by myself.

Fable 1, Fable 2, Fable 3 all awesome games. Skyrim, Oblivion.. Mine-craft if you're into that, I love it. Freestyle moto x games are always good. Seriously there's so many and they're so cheap now with xbox one which has few popular titles at the moment.

If you have xbox live gold they give away a free game every month, usually good games too.
