Xbox 360 Game Install Sizes and Loading Times: 900+ games! (Celebrating 5+ years!)

I'm installing Black Ops right now, so I'll at least let you know the install size.

EDIT: black ops is 6.9 GB

The weird thing is that it and the classic zombie pack are downloading/installing under an item called ESPN...

EDIT: If anyone is interested, entertaining the idea of creating a Wiki for this list, something people can edit (and we can track), is accessible to everyone instead of just registered members...PM me if you're interested in helping.

I'd love to see some results for Kinect titles. Also regarding Fable III, really no time improvement at all? I wonder if I am wasting space or if the no disc spinning is still worth it.

If I get the time this weekend I'll try to get the performance tests for Kinect Sports and Dance Central. Someone already got the sizes for them as well as Kinect Adventures and Kinect Joy Ride and I just posted the sizes and performance for Fighters Uncaged and MotionSports. Hopefully we'll get more people to post up sizes and performances for the other Kinect launch titles.

I'd still say that if you have the space, it's still worth installing a game for both noise reduction and wear & tear on your DVD drive. Plus, should you be unlucky enough to have your system tip over during gameplay, the disc is less likely to scratch since it isn't spinning anymore.

Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2011 - 5.1GB

Didn't do any testing, I only play games from HDD because of the reduction in heat, noise level, and wear and tear on the dvd drive and game disc.
 
I have submitted F1: 2010 a few days ago, not seen it up on the list yet, I believe I entered all the info correctly.
The other game I will be submitting is World Championship Snooker 2007 which I noticed is not on the site.

Hope this little contribution helps
 
Any contributions help, Nightjar, though I can't seem to find your findings for F1: 2010 anywhere in the thread. I also noticed that my color designation for Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 also didn't make the list this time around. Time permitting, what I might have to do is list out anything missing from the main list into another post with the hopes that SynGamer sees it and implements the fixes the next time the list gets updated.

Here are some of the corrections that need to be made to the list:
-Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 should be labeled as GREEN.
-Kinect Joy should be changed to Kinect JoyRide.
-Truth Or Lies should be WHITE.
-Helloby: The Science of Evil should be Hellboy: The Science of Evil.

Sorry for the lack of updates. I put "List updated" as a time stamp so that I know where to pick up next time I update the list. Hopefully the CAG wiki gives us access soon but until then I'll try to update the list tomorrow.

Got the install sizes for a couple of requests:

Fallout: New Vegas - 4.8 GB
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit - 6.6 GB

I can work on the load times later, but a game like Fallout surely benefits from installing big time. Many have been saying that installing the game cures a bunch of bugs and glitches, however the patch is supposed to drop this week.

Do you still have more to add as I noticed one I submitted (F1 2010) is not on there and I want to make sure I have supplied everything you need before I add more

Can you link me to your post. I have yet to find F1 2010...
 
I just submitted it using a link, no worries I have it on the HDD still, ill just do it again along with Snooker 2007, thanks for the update
 
Picked up an older game that doesn't have an NXE size yet.

LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy..........[2.0GB]+

Loads on the opening crawls for levels go from about 20 seconds to about 2. Too bad you still can't skip the cutscenes. As a bonus it removes the noise of constantly accessing the disc.
 
Some games i am doing again because i disagree with the speed's of the games.

Any info about Marvel vs Capcom 3 by any chance yet? I did install it, but just wondering if there's any difference or not so I can either leave it installed or go ahead and uninstall it. I automatically installed it before even trying it without it installed because I figured it should help as it has to load each fighter and rounds, and what not...

Thanks...
