Microsoft's Xbox 360 was THE Seventh Generation console to own. Despite it's... many many flaws, it's got an insane library filled with modern classics AND now tons of Forgotten Gems and Weird oddities. The console is also 18 years old now which means I'm turning into dust.

HOWDY, The Xbox 360 came out nearly 18 years ago and I am slowly turning into dust. SO, enjoy this Retro console with me as we dive into the vast pond of Forgotten Games! I KNOW there's a bunch I missed this time around, but I mostly tried to swing for Exclusives. One of these day's I'll be getting to the Multi-Plats, and you know I'll be talking about some Dark Sector.
Anyways... How y'all doin? Play anything cool lately?
Ready to do another Sword Art Online video soon with the new game coming this year?
I remember Bullet Witch getting hyped up in Gameinformer back in the day, it was OK but definitely did not live up to it's full potential.
The 360 should've failed, it introduced paid online Xbox live gold.
Not only that, it had the biggest hardware failure that was RROD.
It also shamelessly ripping off Mii Verse, and ripping off Eyetoy
man kameo elements of power was such a good game. It gets better the more you play it. It's a unique game.
it does feel like a game from the last concel era but a suited up.
@@AL-lh2ht
I feel like it was one of the last true RARE games too.
And I mean a game that really felt like it was made by RARE and not simply had their name on it.
As a Japanese, I feel nostalgic, and it brings back memories of those days. The xbox360 is a great game machine that has actually opened a hole in the Japanese market that has been dominated by Sony, Nintendo and Sega, and it had enough potential and passion to succeed. The days I spent playing Chrome Hounds with people from all over the world are treasures.
A Japanese 360 fan?
信じられない
Their hardware has garbage low quality parts, Yeah games were good, Sony has good hardware and games
@@Funrunner008 yellow light of death anyone 😂
@@Funrunner008 the 360 was better in hardware actually
Too bad microsoft couldnt support the 360 in japan because no one bought it.
For anyone wondering, the Prey "reboot" has nothing to do with the original Prey in anyway. It's a completely separate game meant to be a spiritual successor to System Shock, the developers were forced by the publisher to use the Prey name to garner interest.
That makes the fact that they delisted the original more mind boggling
I played the original prey and the reboot played nothing like it. Navaho indian magic against aliens.
It's on the internet archive, thats how I played it
@@tivvy2vs21 i have a real copy
@@RyukaXVso do they.
My first 360 game was Earth Defense Force, I was beyond happy to see that it was possible to get "so bad its good" quality in video games and have a great time with it
That series is just gaming in its purest form,and I love it.
EDF! EDF!
That game was dumb fun
EDF EDF EDF!!!
I have EDF on my account, they gave that away as a Games With Gold game sometime within the last couple years. I will go play it for you in your honor 😂
I first played Kameo when Rare Replay came out. To me it was a cute, imaginative little game that was really enjoyable in short bursts. I remember the game fondly, and I kinda want to play a bit of it now
I tried it and liked it conceptually but wasn’t interested enough to fully dive in
I liked it too. Honestly played right through it.
Dead Rising was my first Xbox 360 game and the whole reason why I bought a 360. I grew up a MASSIVE George A Romero fan and getting to play a game that was like one of my favorite movies? You bet I was hyped.
Dawn Of The Dead BEST zombie movie ever!
Same here!
Was the reason I also got my first HD tv so I could read the "tiny" text lol
The first three were amazing. Then 4 happened. :(
@@SeanJohn127 I'm still so sad that 4 killed the dead rising games... hopefully capcom remakes dr1 similar to the resident evil remakes. (excluding resident evil 3 remake)
I got the arcade when they came out without a hard drive. Iykyk, but I wanted dead rising so bad, I got Dead Rising, Forza 2, and Full Auto. Still have the same console to this day, but it's definitely old
I actually made a 1h Kameo video last week about how insane the development was, which began on the n64 and looking at stuff like the cancelled movie, the manga, cancelled story DLC, cut characters and the weird sequel it never got.
Early Xbox Live Arcade was a magical time
magical 🤣🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🌽🏀🤡🤡🤡🤡🌽🏀😼
Happy wars was my shit back then.
Feeding Frenzy anyone?
Boom Boom Rocket was my life for a time
@@IamaPERSON that was the straight up cheese
Lost Odyssey is a gem of a game. It really does feel like a lost Final Fantasy game with a fantastic story and fun gameplay. Tackles of the themes of immortality and family really well. The main villain was lame, but the music and protagonists were great
And it came on 4 discs! (Not slandering it)
It was made by the same person who created Final Fantasy. The only drawback for me was the thousand year dream memory recollections. I think they could have done without or at least replaced it with cinematic scenes of the recollections. I give it a 9/10 stars because of that, it was just boring to read and took up unnecessary game time.
The entire 360 generation was amazing. Probably the best follow-up of a console since the PS2 even with the RROD.
The entire generation? No. I'd say until 2010. The weird and quirky Japanese games disappeared back to the PS3, third party exclusive 360 games were no more and Xbox was fully focused on the Kinect.
@@Manic_Panicthat would still be the generation.
But the tail end definitely sucked. But only because the aging tech, if you were on pc it just got better
Kameo was my first game i had for 360. I remember really enjoying it and beating it multiple times.
Omg Kameo...this video brought back so many memories for me. Such a frustrating experience but my game starved younger self played it to absolute death. Shout-out to all the horrible games my fellow kids at the time were stuck with!!
*'nam flashbacks to Starshot: Space Circus Fever and Superman 64 (yes I know that wasn't the actual title)*
Yes this exactly! amazing game but frustrating at most times. Too many memories
It's good
kameo was actually really fun i thought. All the different elements were cool and i thought the graphics were really good for 2005. the bosses were neat too
The funniest thing about Bullet Witch to me is that the protagonist was voiced by Sarah "I'voicedAsh Ketchum longer than Veronica Taylor" Natochenny. The game came out a month after she first started voicing him. Infamously, the first few Battle Frontier epiosdes were STRANGE from her starting as Ash cause there was no voice direction, so she came off REALLY flat as Ash at first.
Now that legitimately was an interesting fact. Voice actors truly have some of the most interesting stories. They do a lot of interesting work shall we say.
The real Question is did she any Hen uhh Off Brand Anime
Kameo, Enchanted Arms, Blue Dragon, GG Overture and the OG Prey all hold a special place in my heart, even if they weren't considered the best games for the 360.
So many under-the-radar games with weird but unique styles and gameplay elements to them, you could tell the dev teams actually tried to experiment with them and give their games a unique flavour that people may or may not enjoy.
Shame you don't really see that kind of experimentality and willingness to diverge nowadays, outside of indie games at least. And even then, the most popular or well known ones kinda fall into similar trappings where the want to explore different ideas or expand on certain ideas feels somewhat stifled and kept under wraps.
Tenchu Z, Resonance of Fate, Bullet Witch, and Enchanted Arms. You hit the main four for me. I'm so appreciative for this video Austin!
we need Tenchu Z on backwards compatibility🤙
Just bought 2 on ebay haha I missed that game
I genuinely enjoyed Kameo: Elements of Power. The gameplay was fun, the combat was cool, I loved the game's world, all of the transformations were really dope and I found the game as a whole, quite enjoyable.
Same, it was the one game I think of when I think of growing up. It was a game I didn't beat until I was like 13, and had owned the game and traded it in two times, picking it back up again later. I now own an Xbox one only to play the kameo disc lol
It’s a very good game you can tell Austin set out from the beginning to not like it…. and what do you know he didn’t like it..
It's a classic in my opinion. The graphics were amazing for the time
Yup, it's actually a great game if you're fine with the short runtime. I would recommend it to every 360 owner honestly.
I still pick up kameo for a replay every now and again. Its an awesome game.
Kameo was actually my first 360 game when I recall correctly... and I don't remember if I actually finished it or not 😂
Same here! I loosely remember playing it and enjoying it and, well, that's about it. Marble Blast Ultra sticks in my head more.
I played it but didn't finish it. It was okay...but that was it.
Fun fact: the game was going to release on the original Xbox but Microsoft was already aggressively pushing the 360 so the game got moved. Though, there is a nearly fully finished prototype of Kameo for the original Xbox but it requires extra ram like in the devkits or it crashes after a while.
Kameo was big in the UK everybody had it and nobody played it 🤣
@@Manic_Panic even funner fact, it was originally supposed to release on the N64
XBOX 360 was such a nostalgia trip for me. I remember my very first games were Gears Of War, Dead Rising and Crack Down. I’ve played a lot of third party games with that console. Crazy that it’s been 18 yrs since this console came. How time sure flies.
I played a LOT of Crackdown
My first game for the 360 was The Orange Box; exposed me to great games
Hell of a first game to get. Lot of great memories with The Orange Box.
Yeah real obscure there pal
Now, if only it came to Switch.
@@jameslawrenson1208
The fact it hasn't I feel like is an absolute joke. I'm not saying the games have held up especially well but better than most that's for sure.
Mine was blacksite area 51 bad game but I actually liked it
Lost Oddysey, Infinite Undiscovery and Eternal Sonata. Three brilliant and underrated RPGs.
Eternal Sonata is worth talking about, mostly because the whole game takes places in a tuberculosis fever-dream during Frederic Chopin's (who is also the main character) final hours of life. It mostly feels like a Tales Of game in terms of combat and overall design, but the basis of the story is absolutely wild.
ES looked so good when it came out and the battle system was unique. Thought it was pretty great despite it's shortcomings.
Kameo was a key memory for me. I used to play it on the Xbox when me and my uncle went to play Magic at the local hangout spot. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.
dude kameo made such a weird impact on me. i used to wake up at 6am as a kid just to play it on weekends. dont think i ever finished it but man i was OBSESSED
That's odd, it's like a 4-5 hour game and very easy. I'm sure you probably finished it at some point. Great game though.
@@robinmattheussen2395 yeah i was a dumb kid tho im hyperaware how bad i was at games when i was younger
Kameo actually blew my mind back in the day. I’m 29 now but was very much a kid when the 360 released. Having been a huge gamer up until that point (owning a n64, ps2, and GameCube), Kameo was one of my first experiences ever playing a game in “HD” and compared to what I was used too on the ps2 and GameCube, it truly felt next gen. The bloom effects, the way water splashed on the screen, the particle effects and scale of everything, etc. Gameplay wise it wasn’t great, honestly I don’t remember much about it, but my god do I remember how much that game had me hyped for “next gen” gaming. I vividly remember constantly looking at gamespot vids or digging thru game informers just trying to find any kinda news and gameplay of “next gen” games at the time.
Two weeks later Condemned Criminal Origins dropped. I went and spent the night at my buddies house (who had less strict parents but didn’t have a 360) and his parents let us rent the game. We had been so hyped for it after seeing it in a game informer. It was one of those “hell no” games that my parents never in a million years would’ve let me play. That night I truly became a man hahaha. God so much nostalgia.
Condemned was my first HD game. At launch of the 360, I was actually kind of unimpressed by the leap in graphics from last gen. It didn't seem that big of a jump. But then there were games like Condemned and Oblivion which really showed how 'next-gen' is supposed to look. And then Gears of War came a year later and absolutely blew everyone away. I couldn't believe the 360 was actually capable of rendering that in real time.
Boy, this video is like a nostalgia trip.
I got the Xbox 360 early on in preparation to Halo 3 and tested out lots of lots of game demos, with some rentals here and there.
Enchanted Arms was one of the most underrated JRPGs to exist. It starts as a slog but after that first half hour it really takes off with an amazing story and a really interesting combat system. The capturing monsters and using them in battle was awesome as well
I love Enchanted Arms, weirdly enough I tried Magna Carta and I hated it
Enchanted Arms is good and I recommend checking it out but REAL fans of Enchanted Arms know that it’s story makes no sense.
@@ElfHostage Idk if it makes no sense, but i the story cliché yeah. At least it never felt like the game took itself too seriously, it genuinely felt like FS wante to make a quintessential JRPG with quirky shit in it
Thank you for touching upon the Ninety-Nine Nights games, if only briefly. I remember playing the hell out of Project Sylpheed just because of the premise and everything, but even back in the day it was a game where you just had to bear with the main character's voice. Even back then, it was hard to stomach.
i think both those demos are still available : P
I watched someone play Kameo as a kid and thought it was one of those things I made up as a kid! I'm so glad I saw this so I finally know what it is!
I liked Kameo. It was like the Ben 10 game we never got
Me too, and I liked grabbed by the ghoulies
When I got my 360 it came with a disc that had Kameo, Call of Duty 2 and Project Gotham Racing 3 on it. Loved all of those.
kameo was awesome, much better than the early access titles we get now
yeah, and that games are broken asf
I grew up playing Kameo with my Dad. So many memories with that game. Thank you for opening up a memory!
Here to say I played Kameo when it came out and it’s one of my favorite Xbox 360 games next to Viva Piñata. Rare makes good games 👍🏾
The thing important to GG2 is that, at that point in time, Arc had lost the rights to characters introduced in GGX and XX, as well as it's updated versions, due to their collaboration with Sammy, GG2 basically pivoted the game story into what WOULD be Xrd, but because of the heavily limited cast of characters had to make due how it could, this is also around the time Blazblue was made as GG's spiritual successor until they managed to sort out rights issues
I put some absurd amounts of hours into GG2 just for love of the series, admittedly, it's the last game with the aesthetic flair of the 2D games, and it's story is fun if you were already invested in the series story, it's just such a whacko concept to pivot to
The normal maps in Kameo blew my mind, I love that game. Reminds me of Zelda.
My first Xbox 360 was actually Kameo! Absolutely loved this game back in the day. Such a great gaming experience for myself.
Despite never using an XBox and it never becoming popular in my home country (it's always been an eternal 50/50 between Nintendo and PlayStation there), I'm always fascinated with videos talking about the Xbox and its games. The stuff Stop Skeletons did about it for example, so this video will surely be very good too. Keep up the good work and hopefully you do more anime games videos, especially about ones that never left Japan, because those are always a treat.
yea xbox was mostly a american thing.
What country are you from?
I have fond memories of going to my friends house, sorting the Indie games list by lowest score and having a blast playing terrible and broken games for hours.
Fun fact about Guilty Gear 2 Overture:
It came out in Japan in 2007, which is after the original DOTA mod, but one year _before_ LOL launched and popularized the moba genre
Shoutouts to Daisuke for being ahead of the curve, but unfortunately Overture was too innovative (and too much of a departure from its roots) for its own good
Rip
So with less confusing menus, slightly easier, and different characters, it could actually have been a decent game?
I will always have a soft spot for the early Dota likes. Guilty Gear 2, Demigod and Future Cop Precinct Assault.
@@TeruteruBozusama Action RTS even in concept is somewhat cursed as Action and Strategy tend to create a unreasonable amount of complexity. The reason RTS aren't popular and MOBAs took their place is because you don't have to command troops at absurd Actions Per Minute to stay competitive.
That said If the game focused a bit more on single player content and simplified the RTS elements making it a bit more like a Musou or Stylish Hack n Slash (see Devil May Cry) then Arc Sys might have had something more marketable. I still wonder what a Guilty Gear Monster Hunter like would be like and it would fit the Holy War era in Guilty Gear's history nicely.
my favorite "bad" x360 game is two worlds 2. it was the jankiest rpg game i've ever played, but god damn was it the most memorable lol. the magic system on there was crazy and you could easily make spells that would tank the fps so bad it would just freeze the game and cause it to crash lol.
I got Kameo when I first got my 360 and honestly, I enjoyed it a lot! Definitely drags in the early stages, and the controls were... _strange_, but the creature designs were a fun time, some of their movesets felt outright excellent, and I've always been a bit sad it didn't do well enough to justify a remake to let it have a second try at life.
Yeah I got mine with my 360 and I really enjoyed playing it a lot.
Tenchu Z was such a great game. Loved not having any idea what I was doing but just jumping around stealth killing everything in my path
One of my favorite hidden gems on the 360 was Viva Piñata and it's sequel Viva Piñata Trouble in Paradise
Two of the best Farming/Tycoon management style games out there and its a shame that there's no other game like them out there
As a child with an Xbox 360, too young to properly comprehend games, and too broke to get full games, I would play all the game demos, and I found so many weird and obscure games, and now that I've remembered all those weird games, it feels like I remembered a memory that I never actually had.
Kameo is a game I have some weird nostalgia for despite never being able to get more than a couple hours into it. I think as a Nintendo kid, it was just the 360 launch title that interested me most, and I didn't get a 360 until some years later (Banjo Nuts & Bolts was the game that finally did it), but I distinctly remember playing Kameo on demo kiosks at stores and being amazed by how much the colors popped in HD.
(...and then the rest of the generation decided to make everything brown and grey instead of taking advantage of that)
It also kinda represents the end of the era where games were still trying to figure out to do with the standard gamepad, and often tried a bunch of weird new stuff. As we got a few years into the 360 gen, the industry kinda figured out the standard control scheme you can expect in pretty much any third-person action game these days. And that standard control scheme is probably the most playable one, but there was something charming about a time where a game would just say, "What if the face buttons changed characters, and all the attacks were mapped to the triggers!"
I'm glad you mentioned Prey. That was one of my first 360 games. I loved it. lol
Quake 4 and Dead or Alive 4 were my first Xbox 360 games. It really was an amazing system in the begining.
Played Doritos crash course with a buddy who was visiting and we couldn’t believe how much we used to play it.
Not only did I play Kameo when it launched, I got all the achievements lol
Way to flex on all us casuals over here 😢
@@iamjustkiwi It was more that I was bored and had no other games for my 360.
was just randomly recommended your channel and after just one video im already a fan of your work. I love this sort of content. Keep up the good work.
I usually think about Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom. A really forgotten hidden game-ish which feels like if Ico had a spiritual sequal but with a demon instead of a small girl. I would really encourage you to look it up,
It's also great on the PS3 but that version is really hard to find.
That was a game I always meant to play when I had the chance and I've unfortunately probably missed my chance at least to play it legitimately.
I finished Kameo. I was awestruck by the graphic when I first saw it, and the game play wasn't too bad. I enjoyed it.
I love Kameo. I played it at launch and again in Rare Replay. The Xbox 360 was amazing …minus the RRoD. I owned a ton of jrpgs on xb360. So many good games
weirdly kameo was my first xbox game, i played it through a fair few times and have fond memories of being absolutely confused as hell by all the weird “puzzles”
As an old RAREWARE fan from the N64 era, I got an XBox 360 because of Kameo.
Knew of the game back when it was being developed for the Nintendo Gamecube before Microsoft brought RARE and it is a perfect game for an uncle like myself to play with my niece and nephew with Kameo Elements of Power.
Man I am so happy with how well your channel is doing these days, with how consistent you've been (in upload rate and in general quality) it's totally deserved that you're regularly blessed by the algo. Much love
No joke 2 of the first games I think of when I think of the 360 are Tenchu Z and Kameo so it's insanely weird to see them in the thumbnail to me but also completely understandable.
Love those games.
You'll never get me to forget about Kameo Austin. I love shape shifting so even though the game is not the greatest all the monsters are pretty fun.
Loved Tenchu Z, that one was so underratd, specially its co-op online. That also was my first 360 game alongside with Kameo lol
Not every game you liked as a kid is "underrated." It gets old hearing people say that. Tenchu Z was rated exactly where it should be.
Tenchu Z was fucking amazing
Tenchu z was a lot of fun with friends, i wish they made a new one
I liked Cloining Clyde growing up so thank you for reminding me it existed, at the time of typing this comment, I bought it on Steam for 5 bucks but back in the day I played it on the 360, otherwise I was always a PlayStation person
33:52 - Prey was never rebooted, they're completely different games. The 2017 title is phenomenal, I can't suggest it enough.
my soul is so happy that you even mentioned Resonance of Fate for 2 seconds.
Tenchu Z was actually fun AF.
With the release of AC6 coming out of no where around the corner, and the success of Seikiro, I am praying for a Tenchu sequel in the future. Then maybe we can talk about Echo Night 3....
@@ZiegIce give me the blood red ninja outfit with the red and white Tengu mask and I'll have a blast.
So I've been going around youtube finding people who talk about tenchu,glad I found this. Help me talk of tenchu and spread the love so we can get another game. Just anywhere you go online,mention tenchu. In any capacity. It would be much appreciated
We need a new tenchu, loved that game
Kameo is actually a pretty fun game to speed run. The physics are surprisingly very polished and tight. Major Ruin makes you feel like Sonic the Hedgehog.
It’s a really good game, but you get far more clicks when you shit on stuff.
Literally played through all of Kameo when it released and funnily enough went back to play it like 2-3 months ago, some good nostalgia
Playing kingdom under fire circle of doom was way fun. We ended up uninstalling the updates so we could get basically unlimited health and magic with potions haha super fun to break that game!
Oh yeah, i remember that they nerfed the upgrades, before that you could literally be a god one-shoting everything lol
@@LaVerrrdura with how little players were on there and with how little of those players knew about this I wouldn't be surprised if we played together back then hahaha
Would love a full video on Lost Odyssey! God I love that game
The battle theme still stuck in my head to this date.
I love kameo. I played it when it came out and I love going back to it. It’s one of my favorite 360 games ever. ❤
I remember getting a 360 and my first game was skate and it was my first time playing online so I put on the headset that came with it not knowing everyone can hear me and like a nerd I was explaining to my mom how I was playing with people all over the world and how this is the future of gaming and how I probably sounded so cringe to them strangers lmaoooo
Man, the first time you played online felt like that! Lol. You shouldn't feel like that. It DID feel life changing.
I think it would be more cringe if you had been unnecessarily rude to her or talking about secrets about your classmates you weren't really allowed to share would be way worse..!
I played almost all of these back in the day. Magna Carta 2 was severely underrated.
So sad about Kameo. I actually bought a 36 day one with this game and I loved every second of it. I still listen about the soundtrack from time to time; good Dany Elfman knockoff stuff.
This was a nostalgia trip. I was an xbox 360 freak, i owned 1000 games at one point, sold em about 3 years ago now, but i loved gamerscore, some of these games were absolute gems to find when slogging through the sea of trash for gamerscore lol.
My horse and me 2 is a game of mention in the GS community, the difference between hard and easy is you press A to jump. easy 1000 too.
Blue Dragon and Eternal Sonata were my first two games for 360. Hope you can talk about them sometime soon.
brooooo here i thought im the only one who remembers eternal sonata! man i loved that, still my #1 nostalgia JRPG
@@Jabberwork. That light and shadow system was the bomb!
@@DaftSheep the combat and all the secrets you could unravel in NG+ were amazing, ive replayed it with all achievements 3 years ago. kinda a shame that the ps3 version of the game had more content than the xbox version
El Shaddai was also a weird hidden gem. But it feels like there were way less weird games on that generation compared to the previous one. Devs took less risks I guess. On the first X-Box I can name a few very good and original games, such as Circus Maximus, or even Magic The Gathering - Battlegrounds which for a license game took the risk to offer something completely original and worked really well. Thankfully the 360 was also the craddle of indie games.
I have such a clear childhood memory of being in 2005, going to my local video store and trying kameo on the Xbox 360 demo station
I'll hit you harder playing the demo at Walmart
Haha same
Kameo actually was the first 360 I ever played. I didn't get a 360 until 2008 and I remember walking into a local gameshop around 2006 and they had a 360 setup in the shop (lol remember when game shops would do that) with Kameo playing on it.
That PSU demo was something only few people could say they experienced. Wild times!
Definitely, great times with everyone selling nudes for meseta lol
For those wanting a spin down memory lane. There’s a private server for psu called “clementine”
Kameo, was my first 360 game. I actually remember loving it. I’d spend hours in the full scale wars.
Speaking of good beat em ups on the 360, guardian heroes is probably one of the best beat em ups ever made and a rare instance of a sega saturn game getting re released for a more "modern" system. Also, if you're a fan of from software games, especially their pre demons souls rpgs, you should most definitely not skip enchanted arms.
Guardian Heroes is fucking amazing. Another really good, ignored game for Saturn was Dragon Force. Both were just superb games.
Cabela’s outdoor adventures was my first 360 game
You CAN'T skip Enchanted Arms Austin.
Right!!! I got my brother to play it when I was a kid because it was the most anime looking 360 game I could find at the time and it would be so perfect for a video like this
Oh my God I was hoping you'd mentioned Magna Carta 2. I've loved that game since it released and it's totally a somewhat misunderstood hidden gem on the 360. I love the art style, design and mechanics. It's not groundbreaking by any means but I really do like the live-action fighting and having to time when you switch your playable character to avoid overheating. It just seems so cool and sleek at the time, even if a bit reminiscent of the Y2K era of edgy jrpgs. I still think it holds up to today's standards, at least by my personal metrics.
I never played Kameo, but I *often* listen (still do from time to time) to it's soundtrack.
Especially "Hero's Theme" that one is epic, and it stuck with me for ..well forever it seems lol. That song sort of reminds me of the early days of the music from two steps from hell.
I used to play Kameo on the 360. What I wouldn't do to play it agan. Don't know how well it's aged, but the childhood memories I have of the game are blissful. I loved every second of it and I replayed it several times.
The first X360 game I ever played was Fight Night whatever was the current one, but the game that sold me on the X360 was Earth Defense Force 2017.
Fight Night Champion was the last one. It was incredible. That game was much harder to master than it first seemed, and was a fucking blast when you got good at countering and dodging and defense. It felt remarkably realistic.
I liked N3 and Enchanted Arms, love Lost Odyessy and Mass Effect was my first 360 game
I played Kameo at launch, just because it had pretty damn awesome normal mapping for the time.
I'm just glad to hear the D-Pad is still open, that was the first retro game store I went to. It jump started my game collection
Kameo is one of my favorite 360 games. First one I bought for the console and I played the hell out of it
Always saddened by no one talking about kameo it was such an amazing game I remember coming home from school and spending hours of time playing it I even revisited the game when I found my old 360 just to beat it. Truly a hidden gem
NeverDead was an odd game that rated poorly but I played through the whole game and had a okay time with. Some other fun strange ones from 360 was Miner Dig Deep and I Made A Game With Zombies In It.
Best part of I Made A Game With Zombies In It is the studio went on to make some better games like Charlie Murder, The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile and Salt and Sanctuary.
'I MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MB1ES 1N IT!!!1' is actually free on Steam these days.
Charlie Murder is in my Top 10 list. I just wish the studio would release it on newer consoles.
I just got a 360 like 3 months ago. My first 3 games were Perfect Dark Zero, Lost Odyssey and Skyrim (my first copy of that game actually).
But then... just took the RGH route to play Jet Set Radio Future to my heart's content... even if it is a OG Xbox game.
Couldn't disagree more on your assessment of Kameo. If anything, Kameo is the precise OPPOSITE of a time waster. It's 5 hours long, and during those 5 hours you get thrown new powers your way at a non-stop rate. All the powers/transformations are unique and do something different. There really isn't any filler at all in the game. That's what makes it so fun. The downside is of course that this means it's a very short game. But to me it really felt like a no-filler game, the exact opposite of what you're saying. The controls may seem a little weird at first, but it works perfectly fine, so what's even the issue? It's a game I think every 360 player should play, provided you don't pay TOO much for it considering its very short and doesn't necessarily have a lot of replay value.
My first was Kameo: Elements of Power. I freakin loved it, and I’d just bought my first HD TV at the time, so I got to show off those graphics!
Note: I posted this right when you asked, before you mentioned that “no one knows this game.” I still love it and even bought the soundtrack.
there's something powerfully uncanny about that early HD console ui design. Can't put it into words, chunky and colourful with overzealous reflections, particular fonts, reminiscent of flash games.
if you’re into it check out the frutiger aero design language, i think that’s what a lot of early console UI design falls into
Idk about you but Kameo was a blast back in the day the swapping between the warriors was awesome,also it’s very unique I’ve never seen something like that before
I got Xbox 360 back in 2005 just for this game
It has a special place in my heart so many good memories as a kid
My favourite video game title ever for sure 🧚
Haven't watched the vid yet, but I hope I see Dark Sektor. That game was fun as an early teen, and it's cool to see Warframe and what they've done with it.
0:16 lmaooo I can’t believe you put in the “so yea, youre gay” voice clip. That’s one of my favorite things it’s such a classic😂😂
Just a little correction, Prey wasn't rebooted, it's just that Besthesda slapped the name on Prey 2017 because they didn't want to create a new IP, and there's also the Prey 2 cancelletion shitshow that I won't get into.
