Xbox 360 Hidden Gems You Need To Play In 2023: Does Anyone Remember These Games?

[@SourRobo8364]

We had a good thing going. I miss those days.

[@thegamethrifter]

It was awesome!

[@ebright1350]

Really wish Arkham origins really got more appreciation. Only one I haven’t played. Seems just as fun & engaging as the rest.

[@thegamethrifter]

It's actually really good! I enjoyed it. I bought it on Xbox 360 and later on PS3 because I wanted to play through it again and earn trophies

[@hellbadger84]

I try to play it every Xmas. Great memories. I appreciate it even more since Gotham Knights

[@hellbadger84]

Oh and I played it a second time on the Wii U and was disappointed it didn't include Wii U Pad features like the Armoured Edition of Arkham City

[@kaedeshirtoto]

I played it last year on PS3. It was SOOO GOOD! Bothers me it isn't included in Arkham collections and that many people including my personal friends passed on it

[@Sneaky_racoon_sly]

it was my first game ever and played through it 12 times. but holy moly it runs like trash on ps3. thats how i came to the 360 videos. is it also freezing there and has a bad framerate?

[@TheRosswise]

Splatterhouse. A flawed game, but still a lot of fun. Also has the classic games as unlockables.

[@thegamethrifter]

I've never played it, but understand it's a pretty rare game to buy these days?

[@TheRosswise]

@@thegamethrifter Yeah I checked the prices, yikes. It was always a sub-$10 game before. Just goes to show you need to strike while the iron is hot.

[@bes03c]

I started playing it for the first time a couple days ago. It is quite fun and over the top.

[@LaidCrook]

I decided to switch to Xbox 360 from XBSS/PS4/PS5/PC purely for thrifting & money saving reasons. Games are cheap, render in HD & the current state of gaming is catered to a different audience I feel. Maybe the "Gen Z" type people who demand ridiculously high FPS & detail that almost nobody would see lol

[@thegamethrifter]

I can't say you're wrong! Back in the 360/PS3 era nobody was obsessed with fps or anything like that. We just played great games!

[@dmo848]

Smart

[@LaidCrook]

I love collecting those physical games for my 360, just having them makes me happy. I finally opted for this sick OG XB1 1TB Advanced Warfare edition for frugal future proofing. I don't desire to play games higher than 1080p @ 60 or even 30 fps. Those Xbox One games are getting cheap too & I love the backwards compatibility.@@thegamethrifter

[@LilleyComix97]

Splinter Cell Conviction! The only game in the franchise I've beaten so far! I love that series so much I bought all the games and books

[@thegamethrifter]

Conviction is GREAT! I'm one of the only people who I knows really loves that game!

[@LilleyComix97]

@@thegamethrifter I loved it so much I couldn't put it down!

Hopefully I'll be quicker on getting content to everyone! I'm already working on my next video. Appreciate suggestions on topics from everyone as well! Don't forget to Like and Sub if you haven't yet done so!

cant wait for your next video😊 keep up the good work

[@thegamethrifter]

Got one coming out tomorrow! I appreciate your patience! @@1Robinjoo

[@kaedeshirtoto]

Was hoping to aee Earth Defense Force 2017. Amazing game!

[@thegamethrifter]

That is a solid game for sure!

[@thompsonpatrick79]

Great videos! Really cool to see all the Xbox love!

[@thegamethrifter]

Absolutely! Xbox 360 in particular is always close to my heart! Thanks for watching!

[@SaskSneeze]

the only reason I got Crackdown was for the Bata code... then when the beta was done I though, "well I have this game, maybe I should play it"... I loved the game. I've played the 2nd and 3rd crackdown too.

[@thegamethrifter]

I did the same thing!

[@SourRobo8364]

Does anyone else remember the Viva Piñata cartoon? Or was that just a fever dream I had?

[@thegamethrifter]

I don't remember that, but I remember they had some Burger King toys or something!

[@AsterYTMusic]

I remember! It was pretty good. Hope they bring back Viva Pinata one day.

[@GarrySugabo]

The personal honesty and transparency towards the content and choice of games made me to watch the whole video. 👌🏼

[@thegamethrifter]

I appreciate it! Thanks for watching!

[@BenDiaz]

Loved playing Pitfall Harry (I think it was actually original Xbox backwards compatible on the 360). Really campy humor but super nostalgic for me

[@thegamethrifter]

I remember the game! I might have it somewhere and if I do I'll try to get it in one of these upcoming videos! Thanks for watching!

[@deathbeforedigital.7810]

Crapgamer! The BEAST! Subscribed and liked. Nice channel 👌

[@thegamethrifter]

Haha, I was going to wait until I had 5-6 pieces of content up before mentioning this channel lol Appreciate it.

[@Sneaky_racoon_sly]

Banjo nuts and bolts biggest problem is that the worlds are so lifeless and empty

[@thegamethrifter]

They were trying something new, can't really fault them for it honestly.

[@Sneaky_racoon_sly]

@@thegamethrifter no i get that and i tried to have fun with the concept but the world is just not as charming as the levels once were and feel like empty minecraft worlds with the same tasks

[@thegamethrifter]

I understand! @@Sneaky_racoon_sly

[@afriend9428]

*great video sir!*

[@thegamethrifter]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@AAMPictures]

Condemned: Criminal Origins. I loved that game.

[@thegamethrifter]

There's actually 2 of those games. I remember reading about the first game in Game Informer before the Xbox 360 even released!

[@GrievousHD]

X men origins Wolverine, Marvel ultimate alliance 1 and 2 and Gun are great games imo. Dante's Inferno too but if you want to complete the dlc for that one you best get on it as servers close for it on December 8th.

[@thegamethrifter]

Wolverine is highly underrated but sadly I don't know what happened to my copy so I couldn't put it in this video. Ultimate Alliance 1 and 2 are amazing though! Dante's Inferno is cool, but hard to find any place that has usable footage that isn't gruesome

[@dmo848]

Wolverine is hard to find rare if u ask me

[@dmo848]

​@@thegamethrifterstill play Dante's inferno. absolutely love that game. Beat it 2 times. The last on hard and it is hard

[@Nostrathomas85]

glad to see splinter cell convictions on this list. out of the 360 games i got rid of over the years, this was the one i couldn't sell. its been long enough that i forget most of the story so im gonna have to 'dust it off' and give it a replay.

[@thegamethrifter]

Some people don't like the direction of the game, but I much prefer this version personally!

[@Couchbitato]

FINALLY someone talks about Fall of Cybertron! Game is so good!

[@thegamethrifter]

AMAZING GAME!

[@jeliz187]

Shadow Complex!!

[@thegamethrifter]

GREAT GAME! They remastered it too!

ABSOLUTELY!

amazing video as always, great taste in games!

[@thegamethrifter]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@CapnRetro]

Viva Pinata Trouble in Paradise is my favourite of the 2 ♥ I had so much fun in Fall of Cybertron's online mode.. I miss it. Kameo.. My favourite 360 title ♥Thank God it was re-released in Rare Replay

[@thegamethrifter]

It's so amazing to hear people's stories with these great games!

[@CapnRetro]

@@thegamethrifter My favourite story is playing Majora's Mask with my father.. The only time we bonded. Things are different now. I really miss the good times.

[@thegamethrifter]

I can understand that. Appreciate you sharing with me! @@CapnRetro

7:13 became a banjo fan with the smash reveal 2019 and im soooo pissed what they did to my boy

I remember that. Xbox fans still asking for a new Banjo

Arkham Origins is so slept on. I had the most fun out of all the Batman games with this 1. Especially the challenge mode. The combat is the best in the series.

[@thegamethrifter]

YES! That Bane fight is awesome, so many great things in the game. Appreciate you commenting and watching.

[@KrisVic91]

You prefer 360 over original xbox?

[@thegamethrifter]

Yes. For a few reasons, Achievements, the jump to HD and the games were mostly better in the 360 era

[@Sneaky_racoon_sly]

8:53 i live in Germany and Batman Arkham Origins was my first game ever. In Germany they still have the same voice actors es in the other game so it never felt off to me. But holy Moly it runs like Trash on PS3 does it run better on Xbox?

[@thegamethrifter]

It runs pretty good on Xbox 360 and best through backwards compatibility on my Series X

[@archangelmusic13]

the problem with all these games in this video for me is that they all give me motion sickness. the screen is moving all over the place.

[@thegamethrifter]

I don't follow?

[@archangelmusic13]

@@thegamethrifter i feel very sick like i want to throw up watching these games, i can't play them because the screen is moving so much.and moving too fast.i have no problem playing garden warfare however.

Sorry to hear that. Maybe there's some sort of remedy that can help from your doctor? @@archangelmusic13

the only one i don't own is the simpsons game...i can also recommend knight's contract as a decent beat em up

Magnacarta 2 is underrated

here is a few suggestions yakuza dead souls, loli pop chainsaw, shadows of the damned, and the god father

[@thegamethrifter]

Awesome! I've played some Yakuza games, I beat Lollipop Chainsaw back in the day and loved it. Heard there's a remaster coming. Played Godfather and enjoyed that as well. Never played Shadows, but I'll look into it!

[@BrainDhrentje-ns8jp]

For shame !!!!! Why isnt deadly premonition on the list ??????

[@thegamethrifter]

Probably because it's actually a rare game I don't own lol

hello New Subscriber XBOX Rules get over it!!

[@thegamethrifter]

Thanks for subbing! I love Xbox a ton, and when I started this channel I wanted people to see how passionate I was about gaming. Xbox 360 is definitely my favorite era, but I do own all the console and plan to do videos on everything.

[@aquavdragon]

The three games that I think of when I think of Xbox 360 are Kameo, Skylanders, and Spyro Dawn of the Dragon.

[@thegamethrifter]

I get Kameo, but Skylanders? I like the Skylanders series but I more think of Gears, Halo or even Saints Row because the first game was Xbox 360 console exclusive.
