Thanks for the list nerdo

[@duarte_1984]

Thanks.

[@draculasbridekaren1664]

Thanks man.

[@andrewwebsterphillips]

Mr Jesus have you considered doing a part 4? I know you have probably spent the most time already on Xbox 360 hidden gems over other consoles, but this is really a great time to try to pick these games up. I notice so many good games going for super low prices. I've found I can get just as much or more enjoyment out of a game I only payed like 5 bucks for over a shiny new 60 dollar game.

[@TundraZer0]

Hey thanks for doing these videos, MetalJesus. I recently got my hands on Split/Second from one of your earlier videos and it is AMAZING. I definitely would've never tried it if it weren't for this 'hidden gems' series. Thanks man. =D

[@MetalJesusRocks]

Glad you are enjoying it! Split/Second and Blur came out fairly close to each other...and neither really got much notice unfortunately. But racing fans should love them!

[@hipperbob]

+MetalJesusRocks hey can you please help me i want to know what is the background music in 12:47, Thanks in advance if you can tell me what song it is :)!

[@MetalJesusRocks]

What was the BEST online multiplayer experience on Xbox 360 that *wasn't* a First Person Shooter?

[@scscanlan]

I think it would be Castle Crashers for me...

[@aarontempleman4796]

Crackdown 2

[@zoratsu]

Too Human

[@Mephianse81]

Dead or Alive 4

[@Harbringer231]

Easily Gears of War 2 and Halo Wars. I met some of the coolest people on Halo Wars back in the day.

[@TheFightak]

Hey MetalJesus, thanks for all your videos that make me realize what games I can go out and buy for cheap to add to my collection. I just want you to know you are my favorite channel on KZbin.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

Thanks very much! I appreciate that :)

[@GoldGloves210]

Never got into the 360 myself, went Wii and PS3 and stuck with those. Maybe one day I'll get a proper xbox360 and pick up a few of these hidden gems! Thx MJR Good episode , congrats on 90K!!!

[@KawaiiGames]

Thanks for showing a lot of great games :)

[@catgirl_eva]

Otomedius Excellent is actually part of Konami's Parodius series of games. The Parodius game generally play like the Gradius titles, but have a ton of Japanese humor and feature characters from a number of Konami titles. Otomedius just happens to take those characters from Konami franchises and makes them into cute anime girls.

[@Klatvaerk]

Just started watching your stuff and started with this series of videos. Thanks so much for all of the information and well produced content. Lots of great entertainment man! This helps me tremendously to chill out when I have a break from crazy college homework. Respect from Denmark.

[@D347h70411]

FYI, the online servers for Chrome Hounds were shut down in 2010, which I feel significantly affects its status as a hidden gem.

[@Zentrius]

what no "Dark Sector" in your list mhhh.. :) my favourite hidden gem.

[@TheHongKongHermit]

360 was simply MJ's primary platform in the 7th gen. By default he picked up multi-platform games for the 360. It's not an advert for Microsoft, MJ is all about the games. Considering the 360 was arguably better for the first half of last gen, with the PS3 being arguably better for the second half, the only way you'd please everyone would be to do a "cross-platform 7th gen hidden gems" video and that's not really quite as snappy a title. These videos are just a fun way to look at some of the lesser known games people might have missed. And yeah, if MJ steps up his PS3 collection we might see a PS3 hidden gems series too. Will probably be some more cross-platform games in there too. PS3 had a ton more exclusives than 360 (especially once Microsoft fell down the Kinect rabbithole), so I don't mind seeing some of the cross-platform games going to pad out the 360 vids.

[@GlaciaGalaxy]

Also, there is an online PC game, that is now shut down but is coming back in spring, It's called alicia online, and it mixes horse racing with mario carts, there are 4 types of races you can do whitch are magic, magic team, speed and speed team. In magic races you can get different magics and shoot the other players to slow them down, some of them are timed before it hits, and if you get hit with one, you can pass it onto the other players before it hits you, yes even on teammates. there is alot of fantasy elements as well, like you can make your horse double jump and when you jump off of a cliff you can have wings apear and glide, there are also shortcuts you can take by busting through doors. You have your own ranch whitch you can customize, and at your ranch is where you take care of your horses, occasionally, a horse will be injured in a race, and you will have to heal it, but that isnt that big of a deal. You can also get armor for your horse whitch makes them look EPIC. the game was originally in Korean, however a team of people are bringing it back in englis this spring.

[@jcchaconjr]

BTW, it's funny that you mentioned Raiden Fighters Aces... I happened to wander into a GameStop at the largest mall in the county today, and found a copy for $6.29 with my Power Rewards membership! What a nice find!

[@aussie4life05]

Blur was amazing. Many fond memories playing Blur.

[@masterassassin61636]

awesome vid as always im just wondering if your gonna make a ps3 hidden gen series since im curently trying to collect for the ps3 and your videos always gives me something to check out

[@davegrant3582]

Little bit off topic metal jesus rocks. Just wondering if you have had chance to play rocksmith 2014? Since it has your two fav hobbies incorporated into it. Gaming and playing guitar. Love your videos. Massive trip down memory lane. Im 33 now and got to say fav system was snes. Keep up good work

[@poshunderground3915]

all of your hidden gems series are perfect in information to all players. This is one of the most successful resources I have seen ANYWHERE....it's like dictionary helpful, or yelp....but better...no, but best.

[@khayes556]

Great video, Metal Jesus! I don't think its considered a shoot'em up but one of my favorite "hidden gem" games was Zombie Apocalypse from the XBLA. Hundreds of zombies on screen, brilliant death animations, weapon pickups, environmental hazards to kill zombies in creative ways and literally hundreds of levels. I put more time into that than most people probably had.

[@cowboys4life956]

Shadows of the Damned is so crazy but i loved it! By the way that dancing at the end of your video was hilarious haha

[@cary73523]

I highly recommend "Painkiller: Hell & Damnation". Especially if you are a metal fan. Heavy metal plays when you are in action. Total shoot em up game. - recently subscribed, so far love your channel man.

[@omgvampirescme]

I loved this segment. The Splatterhouse remake is another hidden gem, also Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions, and The Dishwasher games (if we are also counting Xbox Live games). I'm not a huge shoot em up player, but I did play Deathsmiles and had a blast with it.

[@JasonNoxid]

Blur, Space Marines, Chrome Hounds, Eat Lead, Fuel and Shadows of the Damned shows that they all have some promising elements, I'm also big into a lot of shoot-em ups. Once again very impressive list my friend!

[@Zeldaschampion]

Asura's Wrath was the Buddhist version of God of War. Thats why it had so many quick time events.

[@XeCuTioNR]

+MetalJesusRocks I pretty much own that stack of shumps you had plus the Raiden Fighters ACES. I also have DoDonPachi Resurrection, its PAL but Region Free...a must pickup if you love shumps. Another shump I recommend (I dont own it atm but plan to) is Eschatos, great shooter with a great soundtrack that has this very old school Konami vibe to it. Two other games that are Hidden Gems that would be worth looking to are Tornado Outbreak (think Katamari with a Tornado) and WarTech (Shump+1v1 Fighter)

[@lightiningkiller92]

i have the game called tornado outbreak for the ps3. its really fun, im definitely keeping this one in my collection.

[@techspecxify]

Added Chrome Hounds to my list and Blur is a definite keeper racing game as it is one of the best. Thanks for your time MJ

[@InfernalMonsoon]

I bet if Mark from Classic Game Room saw this video and noticed the Truxton case in the background, he would probably think you're the coolest person in existence.

[@andrewwebsterphillips]

I remember someone telling me they were looking for Raiden IV at Gamestop and couldn't think of the name of the game. So, they tried to describe to the Gamestop employee that it was a shoot em up. The Gamestop employee said "like Call of Duty?"

[@CyborgNinja7]

For Asura's Wrath, yes, they _did_ need to add that many quicktime events, because that is the only way you could interact with those scenes. That is the purpose of quicktime: to be able to still play the game during cinematic cutscenes. That criticism surprises me, because you enjoy the game, but dislike that aspect. I found that the entire game's gameplay revolves around quicktime events, so I find that odd.

[@neotenylv09]

I think one of the reasons why so many bullet hell/shump games came out only for the 360 was that it is easier to program on the microsoft system, more friendly, at least is what some producer from Cave said. Also I recommend Mushihimesama futari, espgaluda II, dodonpachi, muchi muchi pork/pink sweets and Under defeat, this one is also available for the ps3 :).

[@Balc0ra]

Sad thing is that Crome hounds MP lasted a few months before it was shut down. So now as a SP. Its only worth 200 GS.

[@237chase]

Awesome video more hidden gems to look for on my hunts, and about time someone mention Matt Hazard lol

[@Aegelis]

On the bizarre front, recently got El Shaddai but haven't played too much past the intro. Chrome Hounds is a nice pop-in and go Mech game, looking forward to playing more of it.

[@alk3fan]

You've covered most of the games I would've included, but there's a few more I can think of that I would add to the list: Deadly Premonition, Remember Me and Vanquish. Anyway, nice videos man. You've got a new subscriber.

[@remy2x557]

You have to play Nier MetalJesus. A little sad that it didn't make an appearance here. Otherwise, great set as always man.

[@SkotNealey]

Thanks for the LIST!!! I wasn't interested in "Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard" at first, but then by the end of the review I wanted to know the name...and thankfully you listed the names.

[@14catorce]

shoot'em ups have really devoted fans in Japan. Microsoft wanted to raise the poor sales of 360 in that country, so they tried to add some niche genre games that appeal japanese audience. That's why there are so many shmups for 360.

[@agnel47]

You like Tenchu Z so much you covered it twice during the series.

[@NebenNiveau]

In the beginning, Sony wouldn't allow 2D games on it's PS3 system. Microsoft saw it's chance in monopolizing the popular Shoot em Up Genre in Japan to sell some Xbox 360 over there. That's why there are so many for the Xbox360.

[@Beaver113able]

Shadows was a surprisingly amusing game. Dialogue was very witty haha

[@crookedzero8]

I'm curious as to what you thought about the Earth Defense Force games for the 360. Personally, my friends and I loved EDF: Insect Armageddon, and I believe they are some of the other hidden gems of the system.

[@greggski3710]

Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed is totally hidden gem. I haven't met anyone who was playing this game, but for me is the best kart racer of all time.

[@RetroEjit]

I was obsessed with the original Tenchu games, I always gave the 360 version a miss as I thought it was a dud but after hearing you talk about it I might look into picking up a copy :)

[@zachstrickland1341]

Aegis Wing was my favorite SHMUP on 360, dumped hours upon hours into it! And it's a free XBL Arcade game!

[@Extaticus]

Virtual-On Force, which, although it was exclusive to Japan, was fortunately region-free. Very hidden indeed, and although it's not as good as Virtual-On: Oratorio Tangram (which is available on XBLA), it's a Sega arcade classic worth importing.

[@MetalSonicodraco7342]

One of my favorite adds to VOn Force is the 4player mpde

[@madcat4563]

Eat lead's humour is so up my alley. Lot of From software games in this video.🤔

[@stackix485]

I will tell you a hidden gem and it is Bullet Storm. It has to be one of my fav games on 360

[@Mindbender999]

ONE OF THE BEST GAMES I'VE PLAYED IN MY LIFE!!!!! toooo many fun kills!!

[@kubev]

Metal Jesus, you should give Deadly Premonition and Operation Darkness a shot. They're both pretty janky in their execution, but Deadly Premonition has great characters (Agent Francis York Morgan is easily one of my favorite video game characters ever.) and a great storyline, and Operation Darkness has British werewolves fighting Nazi dragons and vampires.

[@kubev]

For the record, I *do* recommend the original Xbox 360 release, because the Director's Cut changes the manner in which the story is told. The original is the way to go.

[@Karasamune]

Nice shmup collection. Try Mushihimesama Futari. I love it over Deathsmiles. Also, another hidden gem, as well as my favorite third person shooter: Vanquish.

[@steve_redman]

Ikaruga is a great arcade have that is a very tough space shooter. As far as hidden gems I would put Vanquish up there, Afro Samurai and Call of Juarez Bound in Blood

[@steve_redman]

a good hidden gem is Red Faction Guerrilla as well

[@garyseven2308]

Love these 360 reviews MetalJesusRocks! Thanks and it's been a great help. About Otomedius.....it's a combination of Otome (In Japan means "Maiden" I believe) and "dius" which is the extension of Gradius. Otomedius is kind of known as a boob shooter and something of a parody of Gradius.

[@zachross8081]

my top 6 xbox 360 games 6 tornado outbreak 5 NHL 11 amped 3 4 NFS pro street 3 Madden NFL 07 NHL 09 2 wwe 2k14 NHL 10 NHL 2k6 1 Lego harry potter year 1-4

[@byte.me_original]

Vanquish is a pretty fun third-person shooter that a lot may not know about. Although, it isn't exclusive to the 360.

[@festushaggen2563]

Didn't really get into shoot-em-ups but I enjoyed the 360 hidden gems. I'll definitely pick up a few of them. I've seen most of these in bargain bins which is cool. This is a great time to pick up 360 games on the cheap. Just today I got Splinter Cell Conviction for $2 at GS. $2!!! :)

[@adamphillip5305]

Would definatly recommend Under Defeat HD for anyone into shmups

[@zoratsu]

I got all the achievements on eat lead:the return of matt hazard. i remember having quite a few laughs along the way!

[@rickdff62]

As far as shoot em ups go, Raystorm HD on xbox live is dope. It was originally on the ps1 and I played that dang game so much until I beat it. In the HD version it's so much sweeter. Soundtrack is really good too. Thanks for all your hidden gems, I've definitely found some I probably never would have bought.

[@PopeTheRevXXVIII]

Aside from maybe 5 games I have all the Shmups on 360 and they're the only games for the system I kept when I jumped from XBOX to Playstation.

[@milkm53785]

Just found your channel and was stoked to find someone that has the same interest in the 360. Watched all 3 videos and I'm disappointed you left out one game, deadly premonition. Driving looks last gen, graphics aren't great but the story line and the main character are great. It reminded me of twin peaks meets silent hill. Would love to hear what you thought of this title.

[@DontLiveTooFast]

you make the best gaming related videos man

[@georgeslade631]

You might want to try Blacksite if you haven't already.

[@samfrito]

Always wanted your take on Shadows of the Damned. Need to get that game. Thanks for the recommend, you rock the dented coppa trumpet!

[@boektanasie]

This week I bought a Xbox360, for 20Cad and a controller for 6 Cad at the same thrift store. I have owned a Xbox360 before but I sold it in it's high times to help buying a Xbox one. Also my Xbox360 was modded, and wanted it all original now. I saw this hidden Gem’s video’s of the Metallic Jesus. Picked up about 60 titles in two days, about half of them for 1$. Shadow Of the Damned 15.- CAD EAT LEAD 15 Cad Tenchu Z 5 Cad Chrome Hounds 15Cad Death to Right 15Cad Syndicate 5Cad Condemned 2 10Cad Enslaved 5 Cad Singularity 7.5 Cad King oF Amalur 7.5Cad Brutal Legend 5Cad Halo Reach 5Cad Left 4 Dead Game of the year edition15Cad Unreal Tournament 5 Cad. Kane and Lynch dog days 15 Cad Binary Domain Enchanted Arms Crackdown. Bionic Command Burnout revenge 10cad and many others mostly 5Cad, and 1 Cad the pawnshops these are definitely cheaper, the quality is mostly less damaged cases, scratched on cd’s and all round dirty. send about 200CAD, for the console one controller I got the white console with the HDMI input. And I got 59 games with it, Really Want Blur couldn’t find it and Ebay is pricey.

[@philharverson9839]

TherealMckoy ,I picked up one about two months ago,best thing I have done in ages lol

[@isabelladaloria7634]

I think another great hidden gem for the xbox is Dark Messiah of Might & Magic this was a really good game I had a great time playing it so here is one to add to your collection :D

[@arcadeandroid]

I'm glad someone knows about The Return of Matt Hazard. Will Arnett + video games = win

[@Fishmon14]

Earth Defense Force! And Darksiders, if you would count that as a "hidden gem". I don't know many people who have played it.

[@BladeQaZ]

Hearing MetalJesusRocks say "BONER" LMFAO!!, i can pass away now lol.

[@harryvrentas6359]

This dude seems pretty awesome and just weird enough. I'm subscribing for now

[@MetalJesusRocks]

***** Thanks! :)

[@estjaydee3000]

***** yeah I agree thats why I just subscribed too :P

[@prestoTOfaded]

MetalJesusRocks have you ever heard of sneak king or pocketbike racer

[@alextownley9388]

+harry vents He is!!

[@harryvrentas6359]

Love this channel

[@Cjediknight87]

I've seen a lot of these games out and about for super cheap. Never thought about picking them up but they all look great. Blur is a bit more uncommon though. I only see it once and a while and it's still about $15 or so.

[@hourly-to-awesome9544]

Your videos have become my wish list for every console.

[@ImthePeach]

Have you thought of Velvet Assassin? I don't think it was widely played and I got it from gamestop for a couple bucks when I found it; however, I enjoyed it a lot.

[@rurouni82]

Cave became exclusive to Microsoft for the home consoles. Microsoft probably made that deal to boost sales of the x360 in japan since the console struggled and the genre is popular there. It's a shame more shmups weren't localized in the states. Yeah most got region free release but cost is more and translation are a problem

[@marcelovicentedasilva6876]

I think it’s time for a part iv Mr. Jesus! What do u think?!! How about talk about crash time, Dante’s Interno and so on?!!! Be safe guys!

[@Hosunlee89]

Eat Lead...awesome game. Technically flawed, but seriously funny man, I agree with you 100%. Also, loved Will Arnett as Matt Hazard.

[@Sandcaster2009]

From Software was also responsible for the PS1 series King's Field. Good RPG series.

[@williammichael1475]

Yes! You mentioned Shadows of the Damned :D

[@atchaos4life]

Acura’s Wrath is really just God Of War mixed with DBZ.

[@robertreddick1911]

ur videos r really good keep it up I enjoy watching ur gem vids

[@milesl818]

Somewhat surprised that Brutal Legend isn't on any of these hidden gem videos.... I guess maybe it's not really "hidden"

[@Zeldaschampion]

Eat Lead was hilarious. Definitely a hidden gem. I already beaten the game. Good game for those who like those kinds of games.

[@BlackCanvasAudio]

These videos are gold mines for finding great games to emulate!

[@starwars101photo]

Thanks Metal Jesus more games I need to look for. The only one that I own out of these is Death Smiles. The only game that I played on a regular basis that is not a first person shooter is Forza 2. I bought a lot of cars in the auction. Thanks for the video. I like to new look when showing the game covers.

[@MrGcook915]

Metal Jesus Rocks I am a big fan and have never commented but if you have not played brutal legends, as a fan of video games and metal you owe it to yourself to play this game.

[@bmichealw]

Asura is from enchanted arms if im correct, a great game you should check out

[@MathyuB.W.89]

Ive really gotten used to the dance send-off!! Keep rockin, MJ!!!!

[@ihsahn015]

Love these hidden gems videos! Keep 'em comming :D

[@ViralAgent1]

If you like Death Smiles, check out Trouble Witches. It's on XBLA. It's a very fun, very fast-paced shoot 'em up.

[@AlvaroMev]

You should try "earth defence force 2025", its like Starship troopers in the city the game!

[@Submissive421]

Your videos are always awesome to watch and are never biase. Keep making more videos. You rock :)

[@heatrayzvideo3007]

I love Tenchu Z, I play it every few months, Blur is also a great game.

[@Powerhouse1]

Blur was fun and looked great, but the difficulty was a bit too high for me in the single player. I also wish that you were able to customize your cars more. I'm interested in Asura's Wrath, but I heard that it's light on game-play and more focused on story and visuals.

[@Hogo69]

I haven't had a 360 in years but this vid makes me want one again. Plus the games are so cheap now.

[@thenewpeterv]

You did forget to mention that Chromehounds online servers are no longer online, haven't been for a few years sadly.

[@ReverendBenzo]

Asura's Wrath was cool but it was VERY short. I beat it one day. I'm glad I borrowed it from a friend instead of shelling out $60 for it like he did.

[@erasmo1885]

Overlord really should've been in one of these hidden gem videos. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overlord_(2007_video_game)

[@kopuz.co.uk.]

I love Blur i still play it to this date! the local multilayer is so addictive.

[@fatboosh81]

I’m an achievement guy and Chrome Hounds has 41 unobtainable achievements. So that ones out

[@herohunter81]

I've been playing a shmup on my phone called BUG PRINCESS. I think it's on the 360 and goes by another name but it one of thee best shooters I've ever played. Stuff blows up nice!

[@ManiacMike]

sadly chrome hound servers are offline and you can only play the training mode

[@spektrum7434]

I'd say Blur is a combo of Midnight Club 3 and Need for Speed
