All i know is im gaming my ass off on my series x and thats all that matters

[@hwcmazdamatt835]

Been collecting for all the xboxes for 10 years, it’s been great to see more people realize there are good games on the systems

[@SeanShank87]

The nice thing about xbox stuff is a lot of the commons are super cheap right now. I have the most fun collecting for the og xbox and the 360.

[@MatticusFinch1820]

So glad I started collecting OG Xbox games about 2-3 years ago they were absolutely dirt cheap and now I've got about 300 games. And then I went and collected most of the exclusives on 360 since I've got a majority of that generation on PS3

[@driley1988]

I have 295 lol

[@Jack-ji8kr]

You probably should have bought your multiplatform games on the 360, since its well known most games of that generation run and look worse on the PS3 because it was so difficult to make games on.

[@AlfredFJones1776]

Total Overdose is one of my favorite OG Xbox games

[@maksymfedenko1153]

cool game

[@Solid-Lion_Official]

There you go again, I'm doing the same as you! only for 360 and xbox original. Your content is very alive and awake, never doubt that!

[@joshnewman6667]

Those spinning shelfs are awesome

[@ericjenks9596]

I’ve been picking up xbox 360 games lately. I was busy building my business during the majority of the 360 and ps3 era, and never played any of the games released for those consoles, outside a couple of crossover titles for ps4. I’ve been having a really good time for mostly $2-10 a game

[@BoricuaBoy88]

I have one of those exact rotating shelf towers, but I keep my physical movies on mine. Great investment!

[@pacoluigi5271]

Aww HAM Radio name drop ❤️Those were the days 🥹

[@Sir_Slimbread]

Quantum Break is probably my favorite game that was Exclusive to the Xbox.

[@justingoodrum6767]

With the way you talked about Ryse. I would like to possibly recommend Shadow of Rome by Capcom on the ps2. It was kind of difficult from what I remember but the colosseum battles were pretty incredible for it's time. They were working on a sequel but it somehow turned into Dead Rising instead. That should give you a little bit of an idea what to expect in the colosseum though.

[@letastycrumpet]

Omg thank you! Singularity is one of my favourite games on the the 360. The seeker Sniper is one of the most fun weapons in any game and the multiple endings kept me playing for 3 play throughs. This game doesn't get enough praise. Funnily enough I also loved Blinx as a kid I own both of them games now... I'm starting to think me and you had a similar taste in games growing up Matty.

[@austincrumpton1955]

Voodoo Vince and Blinx were some of my favorites on the Xbox. Those along with Crimson Skies and SSX built my childhood

[@MyRegardsToTheDodo]

It's so annoying that Microsoft didn't continue the Crimson Skies series. Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge was one of the best games on the OG Xbox.

[@e3man01]

Time Shift is a great FPS! The PS3 version has a reverse art work cover.

[@John_962]

Blinx has one fantastic soundtrack! I've picked up Mercenaries Playground of Destruction and it's just as addicting as I remember.

[@MercurysEdge]

Hey Matty, Just want to say as a old school gamer I really enjoy ur videos! I enjoy coming home from work and sitting down to watch your videos! I enjoy your channel focuses on older games!

[@oblivioustouch9012]

Pick up “Jade Empire” “Grabbed by the Ghoulies” and “Fusion Frenzy”

[@leeartlee915]

2 out of three of those are on Game Pass.

I work in Games publishing at Microsoft and I led the project to enable you to continue to play Xbox 360 games after we shut down the store this summer. Games™, you already purchased, you will continue to be able to play. The only products affected are games for the Xbox 360, which you try to buy on the console itself. If you can buy an Xbox 360 game through your Xbox one right now, then that same product will still be purchasable after we shut down the Xbox 360 store this summer

[@driley1988]

I'm happy that I been collecting OG xbox (well games in general) for a few years now. Especially with Insignia bringing OG xbox live back to life. Playing those old xbox games online have been pretty fun!

[@AVGgamer87]

I've been trying to remember the name of Deathrow for years! Used to play it with friends in high school and had a great time. Thank you for the reminder!

[@yochrisnelson]

I love these videos man, happy to see a good themed haul again

[@yochrisnelson]

ALSO, Whiplash for OG Xbox from Crystal Dynamics is super slept on and feels right at home in the Blinx/Voodoo Vince/Psychonauts family here. Reasonable price too

[@pudakis]

Lost planet extreme condition from capcom is amazing

[@charlesrouse1438]

I have been focusing on the backwards compatible games from OG Xbox and 360, both physical and digital. I want to be sure that I have multiple devices to play them on. Just purchased Timesplitters digitally in this week's sale.

[@ExiledTheUndead]

Have been collecting XBOX games since the OG era! Love the fact that more people are realizing that XBOX has GREAT games.

[@PrimedSnake]

Just wanted to say thank you so much for all the wonderful content you provide Matty it really makes my day that much better and love watching someone I can really relate too with the passion of games, much love from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@Z_SquaredGaming]

I've been focusing on the original Xbox for a while now. I'm at 72% for the original Xbox black label. I have a lot of the expensive ones to get yet but it's still fun to grab a lot of the other stuff for cheap. I've been grabbing 360 games as well. Like you said, most everything is cheap and easy to find. I believe I'm at 54% for the 360. Lots of underrated games on both systems. Grab them now before everything shoots up in price.

[@BlackMagic_9087]

Dude I need to thank you, I have been trying to find that Otogi game for years ever since I played it on an xbox demo as a kid and could never remember what it was. I just remembered how amazing the combat was and the fact that you could destroy houses which blew my mind at the time. And for it to be developed by the people who have made some of my favorite games this whole time as well just wow haha. Cheers Matty you have a new subscriber.

[@YVR_Manuel]

Timeshift's multiplayer was GOATED back in the day.

[@bananasean5145]

Ever since I played it I thought it would be the beginning of a whole new multi-player boom with the way they had time shifting bubbles that you used like grenadess. Sadly no one ran with it and it died with the game. 😢

[@oneyedgoat]

Tork: Prehistoric Punk is one of those OG XBOX games like Blinx that I think deserved a more fair shake. Love the character designs so much.

[@WilliamSmith-ex9et]

Vexx too

[@D34d1y1]

Finally at a life stage where I could really start building my game collection and focused mostly on 360 and OG Xbox with a few ps4/xbone thrown in. OG Xbox is up there with Dreamcast as one of the most underrated consoles of all time imo. So many great unique games that nobody has ever heard of. 360 games are about to start getting expensive as soon as the 360 store goes down. Some are already about $100

[@Gawlakman]

Is it really gonna raise the prices on physical ones though cause I thought the same was gonna happen with Wii U after the eshop closure and the physical Wii U games are not that much higher now

[@D34d1y1]

@@Gawlakman most wii u games got rereleased on switch except for a couple

[@Gawlakman]

@@D34d1y1 that’s not true, the most popular ones did, there’s plenty of the best Wii U games that didn’t go to the switch

[@sweetgregt]

Facts. I've been loading up. Trying to pick up 360 games between $2.50 and $5.00 CIB. Lots are especially good.

[@PnC_GameZnThingZ]

I don't know if it was mentioned but kung fu chaos was one of my all time favorites

[@boxcarchildrent.v.8477]

[@OfficialGaminGuys]

Great call with Singularity and Timeshift, I'd have to say you missed Fracture too, classed as a clone but is so good so hard.

[@spicelord4782]

Well there goes my collecting days for this console now....

[@Reefer-Rampage69]

I’ve been buying PS3 games recently 💙! Maybe I should start collecting for my Xbox too 💚

[@TheMailoc]

Lost Odyssey is one of my favorite JRPG’s. I wish I could play it mobile; Switch or release on PC so I can play it on ROG Ally.

[@nickisonfire42]

Midnight Suns was really good and imo underrated. I spent a good amount of time with that game.

[@issueskid13]

Rise of the Argonauts! My first game in the industry back when I joined Codies as QA in 2008 😊

[@MyRegardsToTheDodo]

Two Xbox games that aren't mentioned in this video that are really worth checking out are Phantom Crash (which is an Xbox exclusive, even though it's not marked as one, the sequel, S.L.A.I. is a PS2 exclusive) and Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge. Crimson Skies is one of the best Xbox games in my oppinion.

[@StoneAgeWarfare]

Not exactly critical successes, but I recently hauled in SSX (2012). Shaun White's Snowboarding, and Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel. I have great memories of these.

[@vanguardchristi1370]

Magna Carta 2. I still need to get it but a playthrough on youtube made me want it

[@itsdeonlol]

Awesome Matty!

[@shortinos]

I have a lot of these games on Steam. Voodoo Vince, Singularity, Timeshift, Rise of the Argonauts, Ryse, Sunset Overdrive, Wasteland 3 and Marvel's Midnight Suns All good games! Only just recently completed Timeshift.

[@laseangames]

After watching this, I wish I had more Xbox 360 physical cases. 😅 Most of the newer 360 pick ups, I only got the discs for them and I have them in a CD Case (the kind that holds a lot of cds, wanted to clarify). So far, I'm loving the process of building the collection and I hope that more games will be added to the Xbox backwards compatibility program, especially now after the Activision acquisition.

[@Behon]

Sunset Overdrive remains my favorite XB1 exclusive by a wide margin. Thankfully it got a Steam port in recent years.

[@scarface43Gaming]

I really appreciate the focus on affordable games like bro I hate when I’m getting put on a game just to find out it’s 250 dollars lmao. Also FF13 trilogy is amazing!

[@laseangames]

Marvel Midnight Suns is a game that I really enjoyed, I really hope we get a sequel and I'm excited to see what the sequel will improve on over the predecessor. 🤔 Now that leaves me with a question, if there was something you would improve on the game, what would it be? 👀

[@MrPackerfan85]

[@glenlavalley4381]

Sunset Drive, along with Agents of Mayhem, are absolute hidden gems. They are also very cheap to buy physically.

I will also, I plan to buy a bunch of older og Xbox and 360 titles to play on my Xbox(es).

[@caifabe8050]

i finally got my hands on a 360 for the first time in my life just last summer after ALWAYS wanting one as a kid but never being able to get one (or a PS3) because i was too poor (i eventually finally got on the PS3 train in 2016, and the PS4 train in 2017, but never got a 360 til last year. also this 360 is the very first Xbox console ive ever owned funnily enough). im excited to collect for it because it's in that sweet spot of being just old enough that i have nostalgia for the memories i shared with my friends playing on THEIR 360s back in the day, while still being new enough that the ULTR nostalgic demand hasn't really sunk in yet so the games are still cheap. id say we've got another good 4 years before 360 games start creeping up in price like we've been seeing happen with PS2 stuff lately. so get as many as you can while they're still cheap, before the nostalgic demand kicks in and the games start rocketing up in price. currently we're in the nostalgic era for the 6th gen, so it's only a matter of time (again, i estimate 4 years) before 7th gen stuff starts getting UBER expensive due to the nostalgia.

[@c.jarmstrong3111]

I got myself a nice lil OG collection over the next couple of years

[@-PLAYER0NE-]

It's a great console to collect for (at the moment) the games that were on all consoles are cheaper and they run best. I pick them up wherever I find them. Backwards compatibility is cool but it's very limited and there's just something special about using original hardware on a crt tv

[@joelman1989]

Hey I’m buying x box games for the first time in 2024 because I’ve never owned an x box system and I completely skipped the 360/ps3 generation which ps4/5 are not compatible with but I finally got one.

[@armandomorales0921]

I like retro rebound's videos!

[@hakim8688]

To keep my collecting more organized I try and collect exclusives for the OG Xbox and 360. Everything else goes to ps2 and ps3

[@LarryAsberryJr]

Lost Odyssey is my jam. Such a shame MS removed the download from the servers. Lost Odyssey held me over as one of the first games I played. It is fantastic and the first time through this game is heart-wrenching. A true classic! Time shift was a absolutely fantastic. I've held on to there rare experiences over the years as I felt they would age well.

No hate here Retro Rebound! I loved the entire FF13 series I beat the first and second one already though I am struggling with the 3rd one but I get better every time I sit down and play it and I get further each time. I am close to saving Snow before I am forced into the First NG+ run I already saved Noel so two of the big 7 are saved. My next run will be focused on saving Vanille and Fang. I do have trouble trying to get all 13 days stored up so far the amount of days I managed to get up to 7 days

[@dapperfan44]

I am looking to build a physical collection for my Series X, but I'm having a hard time finding games for it that I am both interested in and also cannot be played on PS (being available on PC is not a disqualifier). Edit: for example, one of the games I'd want, Blinx 2, does not work on Xbox Series X. I have the first, though.

[@BenS44]

I’m doing the same for OG and 360. I’m not too bothered about the one and series x games though because most of the games aren’t as good and the disk is just a key anyway. But man I love the two old systems and the games for the most part are still cheap.
