5 Xbox 360 Titles Perfect for Back to School

It's that dreaded time of the year again. Summer has come and past, and now, it's time to hit the books and head back to school. Going back to school doesn't have to be all bad however. At least now, we've got some great new titles like Darksiders II and Transformers: Fall of Cybertron to enjoy, and this also means we're that much closer to the release of the Fall's biggest titles like Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, Borderlands 2, Halo 4 and more. In honor of heading back to school however, we want to present you with the top 5 Xbox 360 Titles that are Perfect for Back to School!

5. Sleeping Dogs (Social Studies)
Sleeping Dogs takes you to the mean streets of Hong Kong as undercover cop Wei Shen, as he attempts to take down a group of dangerous Triads from the inside. Not only is Sleeping Dogs a wonderful title full of enticing gameplay, but you'll actually begin to learn all about the famous city and its Chinese heritage and culture during your time with the game. You can see the local customs as you participate in live karaoke, cockfighting, poker and more. Sleeping Dogs also features a fantastic melee combat system, so take notes while playing, and school bullies will be a thing of the past.

4. Spelunky (Math)
If there's one thing Spelunky teaches you while playing, it's how to count, as in how many times have I died in the ten minutes alone? Spelunky is a tough platformer in the same mold as other challenging titles such as Super Meat Boy. You play as an adventurer who enters this mystical cave in search of a legendary treasure. Plenty of monsters, traps and long falls await you in the cave whose layout changes each time you start up a new game, and you will do this many times over the course of this very difficult game. Pop Quiz! The number of times you die before beating Spelunky divided by the hours you'll spend completing the main quest means you'll die how many times per hour? The answer is a whole freggin' lot, but you'll still enjoy the game the entire time.

3. Quantum Conundrum (Science)
In Quantum Conundrum, you play as a young boy who comes to his uncle's rescue when he finds himself stuck inside his mansion. The boy will use the power of a special invention of his uncle's to make his way across the mansion. This special device allows you to control the different physical dimensions Fluffy, Heavy, Slow-Motion and Anti-Gravity which should teach you more than you need to know in order to pass your science exam, and for bonus points, you can bring your companion the Interdimensional Kinetic Entity known simply as Ike to class for a quick presentation during show and tell.

2. Deadlight (History)
Deadlight stars a protagonist by the name of Randall Wayne during the zombie apocalypse of 1986 in the Seattle, Washington area. After making a desperate attempt to find a safe area away from the Shadows, as the zombies are called in Deadlight, Randall decides to head back to his hometown to reunite with his family. This won't be an easy trip, as there are plenty of Shadows lurking the streets, few weapons to fend off the hordes and even more dangerous survivors on the lookout for any survivors. Deadlight is an amazing title that takes you on a trip down memory lane as you experience what the world used to be like and even find old school, handheld video game systems that come from a simpler time. Deadlight also teaches you sometimes it's better to forget the past, although, I'm sure your history teacher wouldn't agree.

1. Lollipop Chainsaw (Physical Education)
Suda 51 is a development company known for releasing incredibly unique and fun titles like no other games on the market, and Lollipop Chainsaw is yet another addictive title that fits this mold perfectly. Young Juliet Starling was hoping to enjoy her 18th birthday in peace, but a zombie outbreak has occurred and messed up all of her plans. Then, she arrives at school just in time to see her boyfriend Nick get bit by zombies. Juliet comes from a family of monster hunters, and she uses her chainsaw to chop off Nick's head and save his life, then it's time for those zombie bastards to pay. Juliet uses all of her athletic ability and cheerleading skills combined with the destructive power of her chainsaw to make quick work of her enemies, and you're bound to get a little sweaty and in better shape just by watching her do her thing. The game exudes sexual innuendos at every opportunity as well meaning you get double credit for this class as part of your Sexual Education curriculum. Just make sure you get your parents to sign a release form for this class begins!
