Hey boys and girls, so I'm trading an old GTX 770 for an X360 Super Slim.
I had a PS3, a good PC and a WiiU back in the day, so I'm looking for those "special" exclusive games on the 360. My 9yo son will be playing it too, so kid games recommendations are more than welcome.
What I have in mind so far is Forza Horizon 1, Forza Horizon 2 (looks shitty tho) and Read Dead Redemption. Is that a good start?
What else is worth playing in 2019?
Thank you!
Do you have an Xbox One? I'll assume not, since you'd already know that lots of 360 games play better on XBO.
Did you ever have an Original Xbox? There are 461 Original Xbox games that play on Xbox 360. Here is the list:

I figure plenty of other posters will cover the exclusives. I'll mention a few games that were multiplatform, but which play better on 360 (if you never played them on PS3)
Enslaved - My favorite game of the 7th gen. Plays significantly better on 360 than PS3 (although also better on PC)
Space Marine - Pretty awesome action game with the best Jump Jet in gaming history (also on PC)
El Shaddai - Beautiful action platforming "art game" that changes up visuals constantly (not on PC, PS3 version is just as good)
Alan Wake - Remedy's best game, imo. Looks great on 360. Don't skip the story, it makes the experience. (PC version is much better)
Sacred 2 - The forgotten Action RPG. Large game. Closer to Baldur's Gate than Diablo. One of the few 360 games that renders natively at 1080p. (I don't know how the PS3 version plays)
Divinity II: The Dragon Knight Saga - Large 3rd person action RPG with lots of wit, interesting character building system, and fun combat. You can also turn into a dragon(!). This version (Dragon Knight Saga) is a rerelease of the original Divinity II:Ego Draconis with bug fixes, significant engine upgrades, the large second chapter expansion and all previous DLC. (PC can run better, has a different HUD/control scheme, and looks slightly different. Never released on PS3)
Naruto: Rise of a Ninja - Completely exclusive to 360 and not backwards compatible. I enjoyed this game until it got way too hard for my poor fighting-game skills.
Halo Reach - Still not available through MCC. Infinite delays. Might never be released. Awesome 360 game.
Metro 2033 - If you never played it on PC. This one never came to PS3, although the REDUX version is available on PS4.
I would call Naruto kid-safe (although maybe not kid-easy, but they seem to adapt more readily than us old folks). El Shaddai is mostly a fantasy platformer. It's a pretty easy game with a lot of eye candy. There are some religious themes in the game (in a fictional, fantasy construction), so you may want to take a deeper look first if you don't want your son exposed to such material.
