While the Wii is the current king of consoles, the Xbox 360 is the undisputed current king of games. Despite the fact the Wii is crushing both the PS3 and 360 in sales, the 360 has more games and has actually sold more games, than the Wii. The Xbox 360 is generally recognized as having the most serious collection of gamers, as opposed to the more casual audiences of the PS3 and Wii, and these gamers are a devoted bunch.

Whether hardcore or casual though, gamers of all abilities should be able to easily wrap their head around Xbox 360 game downloads. There are really only two realistic options on how to download Xbox 360 games at present. These are large, membership-only direct download sites, VR gaming or file sharing services.

Well start with file sharing, which isn't a terrible option for downloads of most types, but encounters one major hiccup with 360 games, and that is simply the size of the game file. The average Xbox 360 game pushes 7 GB, which is quite large even by modern downloading and storage capabilities, and this limits the desire of sharers to seed such massive files. As such, its usually difficult to achieve high download speeds.

Direct download sites on the other hand charge either monthly or onetime membership fees, but offer simple downloads with speeds that dwarf those achievable through file sharing. These sites also have heightened security, as all files are uploaded personally by site staff and are free of any harmful files. With file sharing on the other hand, you really don't know what you might get in addition to your game file. You most certainly need top-notch security software to even consider using file sharing services.



One of the best sites we've yet encountered for Xbox 360 game downloads is everything4360.com. This site was clearly designed by some truly devoted Xbox fans (we might even go so far as to call them Microsoft fanboys, as their love for the Xbox is quite obvious) as a helpful aid for other Xbox gamers, as well as a thoughtful homage.

The site requires a onetime membership fee, which gives users access to a host of different features. This includes mods for the 360 which can add new functionality and abilities to the console, such as being able to run emulators; cheats databases which can be directly loaded into your Xbox 360 HD, and then activated from within a menu; and of course, the aforementioned Xbox 360 game downloads. Their database of games is huge, and growing by the day as new games are released and almost instantly added to the sites collection. There is the occasional rare game that isn't added for whatever reason, but overall there is little fault to found with their selection, or the download speeds the site offers.

The Xbox 360 appears poised to stay competitive and continue churning out hit games for years to come, so take the time to learn how to download Xbox 360 games now, and reap the benefits for years to come. Of course, what you do with those downloads is also of import, but well save the discussion of that topic for another time.
