Xbox 360To celebrate the launch of the new Xbox 360, Bitmob and Microsoft would like you to write about your favorite 360 titles. "Why should I?" you might be thinking. Well, Bitmob's editors will gather the best responses into a front-page post later this month, and one lucky contributor will win a new Xbox 360 (slim, of course) and seven of the system's top games as determined by the Bitmob community.

Here's the plan. Write a minimum of 200 words about your favorite Xbox 360 game — and why it's so good — in any of the following genres:

  • Best Action/Adventure Game
  • Best Downloadable Game (includes XBLA and Community Games)
  • Best Fighting Game
  • Best Racing Game
  • Best RPG
  • Best Shooter
  • Best Sports Game 

Each game you write about counts as an entry in the contest, but you can only write about one favorite game per genre, and each one has to be a separate post (so if you have one favorite in each genre, that's seven posts and seven entries). Enjoy legalese? Indulge yourself in our official rules.

Tag posts with "Best Xbox 360 Games," and use the following title format: Best Xbox 360 Shooter: Vampire Rain. Submit your entries on or before July 24, 2010, or live forever with regret about what could have been.
