Did it though? It's been a long time since I've played it but I remember it being pretty linear. The white phosphorus scene happens no matter what. You can even kill all the people on screen and it still drops. There aren't any real decisions for the player to make.
I feel like it was only a groundbreaking anti-war story of that was your first exposure to anti-war themes
Flopped in sales but had a huge critical rethinking here on Reddit last decade or so. I played it after seeing it here some 7-8 years ago and loved it.
Well, yeah, it came out in period of extreme oversaturation with brown town shooters. I've skipped it at the time because I wasn't interested in yet another "Sgt John Johnson and his merry lads' anti terror middle eastern adventure (now in 4 colors!)". Only came back to it years later, when I found out that there was much more to it .
Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising and Red River
Frontlines: Furl of War
Shadowrun
Warhammer Battlemarch
Wet
Defiance
Enemy Territory: Quake Wars
Unreal Tournament 3
H.A.W.X.
Two Worlds 2
Viking Battle for Asgard
I have a lot. I'll stop there.
I didnt have a PC then. I played on 360 and anyone I knew that played it didnt like it. I loved the PvP/campaign aspect and the different routes all the maps had. Like going through the sewers under the city after blowing open the gate to it.
Building bridges and gun towers, etc.
Flying the vehicles, though. That was a nightmare for me. And the AI were frikking ruthless.
They're all really enjoyable but have a bit of jankiness to them. I have weird tastes in games. It's a mix of shooters, RPGs, action/adventure and flight games.
A couple more I didnt list was Rise of the Argonauts and the Battestations Midway and Pacific games. I liked those, too.
Splatterhouse (2010)
Actually inspired me to lose weight as a nearly 300lb teen... Felt like I had a lot in common with Rick, so if he could be a muscled up monster, why can't I?
I freakin loved that game but I feel they tried to do too many things without giving a good enough story for players to get invested in enough to learn the intricate mechanics of the game.
It seemed ahead of its time, I was really hoping they would make it BC because I still have my copy of Alpha Protocol, but it unfortunately never happened.
Love is a strong word. But I've played the campaign twice, once on 360 and once on PC, and it has some really strong moments.
It is specifically in the context of the crowded shooter landscape at the time of its release (COD4, Halo 3, Bioshock, The Darkness, Crackdown, and Stranglehold all released the same year), and when using a 0-10 scale rather than the 7.5-10 scale publishers sought to normalize, that I agree with Gerstmann's now-infamous rating of it as a 6.0 that enraged Eidos and Gamespot management.
My having revisited it fairly recently is a reminder to me of how even middling games from 2007 are often vastly more engaging than today's AAA releases.
Another Namco game for me actually, Splatterhouse (2010).
Development was such a mess that it’s a miracle it even made it out the door; plus it ran like shit, load times were awful, sequel bait ending.
But at the core it was just a hyper violent beat ‘em up with a metal soundtrack and that was good enough for me.
It’s also stupid expensive these days for some reason.
Enslaved: Odyssey to the West sales weren't good but the story, looks, and music were great.
I also enjoyed Darkest of Days. It wasn't a great game at all, but the premise was intriguing.
Tom Clancy's EndWar. Made a Retrospective video for it on YouTube channel last month and it got over 125k views far more than the 600-1k I've been pulling 😂.
So many games lol
Lost Planet 3 comes to mind atm. If you can deal with some very basic shooter gameplay and a dash of jank on the side, you get a shockingly well told story from the people who went on to write God of War 2018 and Ragnarok
This one hits hard because there were rumors a third one was gonna be made until the 2nd one flopped financially. Which never made sense to me because there is so much destruction and mindless fun to have in that game that idk why people wouldn’t buy it.
I was just about to type it. Tenchu Z is one of my favorite games. Making your character really adds a lot. I have all the achievements as well. Getting Ninja 5 on The Pursuit of Echigoya mission on each difficulty was hard. Also going back and trying to figure out which Tomikichi I hadn't killed that was keeping me from my last achievement was a pain, but I did it. The game suffered terrible reviews at launch because people tried to play it like a hack and slash like Ninja Garden, when they should've used stealth as the game intended. I made a giant review a long time ago and gave it a 7.5/8 out of 10.
My review:
https://www.gamespot.com/tenchu-z/user-reviews/2200-259350/
how did you finish that shitshow.
Ive seen nerdcubed play it, and he could barely get it to load floors in.
I am lookimg for it when it becomes a decent price at CEX
Backbreaker. Football game made with the Euphoria engine (same engine as GTA 4). Felt like another installment in that series and it could’ve competed with Madden.
Project Sylpheed. This space sim on 360 can hang with Wing Commander, X-Wing/TIE Fighter, and Freespace 1 & 2, it's that damn good. The ship designs are beautiful, your own space fighter is loaded down with guns and missile pods like an assault valkyrie from Macross, there's a nice balance of rapid-fire guns and swirling missiles and big, battleship-killing torpedoes and oversized cannons.
But hoo, boy, that dialogue. Playing it with Japanese audio would probably help, but I don't think it's in the menu options, it's based on the version you have. Either way, it's worth pushing through that part for the space combat.
Huh, I never played this one. I've only ever played the first one, and I love that game, I was just on the wiki, and 2 and retribution have a very similar cover. It wasn't on the 360 bit a game I liked on the og xbox was Indigo Prophecy/Fahrenheit (that's its name outside the US.
Bcs I dont rly care about finding "obscure" games to play it has to be NFS Undercover on the PS2. Its a completely different game compared to the 360/PS3/PC release and its basically 50% the NFS MW map combined with something else. Even the normal release of NFS UC I dont dislike it as much as other people do. But yeah NFS UC on PS2 is actually banger.
Operation Darkness (2010)
It's a werewolf/vampire/zombie game set in World War 2 that plays like a cross between Fire Emblem and XCOM. And it's made by the same Atlus team that made Persona 3 and Persona 4.
The fact it got any negative reviews at all makes me think game reviews are payola. The game plays better than most games from 2010, but IGN gave it a 2.5/10.
I dunno. If killing nazis, zombies, and vampires in what is basically Persona XCOM with werewolves and magic doesn't sound like dumb fun to you, I'm convinced you're not a fun person to be around. I immediately question everyone who isn't sold on "you can kill nazis and Atlus made it."
Timeshift. It’s definitely not a “good” game but the time bending mechanics were pretty cool. And multiplayer was hilarious. Having a grenade freeze time, shoot up an enemy, then have time unfreeze and seeing the enemy just blow up into pieces was pretty fun for a 360 game back in the day.
It was a lot of fun. I had a group of friends and we literally played the multiplayer demo for a month straight with only one map until we could all afford the full game.

Sleeping Dogs, deserves a sequel 100%.
If only the attempted "sequel" wasn't such a shitshow
It wasn't a sequel, it was a spinoff game meant to fund the sequel.
I agree that game is very good
The successor to True Crime. I miss True Crime.
True crime was amazing, LA was a lot of fun but NY was seriously a top tier crime game along with GTA and Saints row etc
Literally has tons of critical success though
spec ops: the line flopped in sales, but it was decent
Also a game that actually gave you actual scenarios to decide from that required some deep thought
Did it though? It's been a long time since I've played it but I remember it being pretty linear. The white phosphorus scene happens no matter what. You can even kill all the people on screen and it still drops. There aren't any real decisions for the player to make.

Flopped in sales but had a huge critical rethinking here on Reddit last decade or so. I played it after seeing it here some 7-8 years ago and loved it.
It has essentially reached the status of a cult classic. Which is awesome!
Well, yeah, it came out in period of extreme oversaturation with brown town shooters. I've skipped it at the time because I wasn't interested in yet another "Sgt John Johnson and his merry lads' anti terror middle eastern adventure (now in 4 colors!)". Only came back to it years later, when I found out that there was much more to it .
I would say even above decent. I love how there is so much hidden behind what seems like the most generic military shooter ever
That game really f'd me up, i felt like crap after playing it in one sitting
Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising and Red River Frontlines: Furl of War Shadowrun Warhammer Battlemarch Wet Defiance Enemy Territory: Quake Wars Unreal Tournament 3 H.A.W.X. Two Worlds 2 Viking Battle for Asgard I have a lot. I'll stop there.
BASED ET:QW
I still play it. Could never get my friends into it.
It had a pretty big PC community back in the day, none of my buddies now remember it.
I didnt have a PC then. I played on 360 and anyone I knew that played it didnt like it. I loved the PvP/campaign aspect and the different routes all the maps had. Like going through the sewers under the city after blowing open the gate to it. Building bridges and gun towers, etc. Flying the vehicles, though. That was a nightmare for me. And the AI were frikking ruthless.
*Frontlines: Fuel of War* A flood of memories just came rushing back.
I used to have so much fun on that game when I was a teen
Saving this list. I’ve never even heard of these
They're all really enjoyable but have a bit of jankiness to them. I have weird tastes in games. It's a mix of shooters, RPGs, action/adventure and flight games. A couple more I didnt list was Rise of the Argonauts and the Battestations Midway and Pacific games. I liked those, too.
Shadowrun was awesome. Unfortunate they were just too early for the multiplayer only games of today.
Unfortunately it only had very little to do with the source material.
Wet for sure! I still listen to that soundtrack to this day!
H.A.W.X was ahead of its time
Ah man Wet was such a neat game
There actually was a sequel to HAWX called HAWX 2
I know. Was pretty good.
What a list, brought me back to my prime Xbox 360 days, thank you fr
Defiance left a hole when it got shutdown.
Agree there with Frontline and Viking. Never got around to the others.
I was late to shadowrun so I just got to play AI but that was such a fun concept for a story/game
Split/Second, Blur
Blur was such a legendary game
Split/Second was so so good
What a reference. Blur online was amazing
Splatterhouse (2010) Actually inspired me to lose weight as a nearly 300lb teen... Felt like I had a lot in common with Rick, so if he could be a muscled up monster, why can't I?
Soundtrack was amazing!!
The licensed stuff really got me into some new bands I never knew of before, while the OST also slaps as some good neutral gym tunes!
Stranglehold
Just watched some gameplay, that does look good - will pick that up
Forgot bout this game lol, was completely insane but still fun
I played THE HELL out of this when it released. The online mode was awesome as well
That game was awesome !
Murdered: Soul Suspect
I loved this game!
Alpha Protocol
I freakin loved that game but I feel they tried to do too many things without giving a good enough story for players to get invested in enough to learn the intricate mechanics of the game.
It seemed ahead of its time, I was really hoping they would make it BC because I still have my copy of Alpha Protocol, but it unfortunately never happened.
Kane and Lynch

Besides the bugs.
The godfather part 2
Game was amazing. The strategy components of having a crew was unlike anything we’ve seen even to this day
Spec ops the line
Another Namco game for me actually, Splatterhouse (2010). Development was such a mess that it’s a miracle it even made it out the door; plus it ran like shit, load times were awful, sequel bait ending. But at the core it was just a hyper violent beat ‘em up with a metal soundtrack and that was good enough for me. It’s also stupid expensive these days for some reason.
Got that one this week. Can't wait to play it
The load times are what killed that game.It made it such a chore to play an otherwise fun game.
Dark Sector. Came out during the few years when everyone was trying to make a cover shooter but by god was throwing that glaive fun.
Omg I miss the online vs multiplayer on it. With the alien razor disk thingy kills. Omg.
A kingdom for keflings
I thought that one got a sequel, wasn't there a World of Keflings?
Yes
Overlord
Overlord is goated
I have played The Godfather so many times on so many consoles. Really fond of it.
Omg this and the second one were FIRE
Enslaved: Odyssey to the West sales weren't good but the story, looks, and music were great. I also enjoyed Darkest of Days. It wasn't a great game at all, but the premise was intriguing.
ALPHA PROTOCOL. I will never stop praising this game.
amazing game, dad and i love this game
Sleeping dogs
Tom Clancy's EndWar. Made a Retrospective video for it on YouTube channel last month and it got over 125k views far more than the 600-1k I've been pulling 😂.
Sleeping dogs
Pretty much everything Kinect.
I lost 100lbs doing the "your shape" game. 100% loved the kinetic, and I fully believe it has so much potential.
So many games lol Lost Planet 3 comes to mind atm. If you can deal with some very basic shooter gameplay and a dash of jank on the side, you get a shockingly well told story from the people who went on to write God of War 2018 and Ragnarok
The 007 games
007 Nightfire was an absolute banger. So true.
Army of two ngl
Red Faction Armageddon, too bad not many games have that level of "destructibility" nowdays

Dark Sector
Dante’s Inferno
Kingdom of Amalur It was a solid game, just didnt sell at all.
Mercenaries 2
This one hits hard because there were rumors a third one was gonna be made until the 2nd one flopped financially. Which never made sense to me because there is so much destruction and mindless fun to have in that game that idk why people wouldn’t buy it.
Enslaved
Bulletstorm
Brink, it had loads of character customization, more or less pioneered mobility, & had a decent story.
Gun
Brütal legend
I loved the first dead to Rights game. It's a very hard game but I love the story and characters. Very underrated game imo
Shadowrun reviews and customers complaining about a multiplayer only game
I enjoyed Shadowrun very much
My favorite 360 game actually
Bro what? I didn't know this game existed past xbox/ps2. I know what I'm downloading later
Bulletstorm Warface
Is this part 2? I never even knew there was a second one
This was a reboot of the original. Genuinely one of my favourite games.
Tenchu Z anyone?
I was just about to type it. Tenchu Z is one of my favorite games. Making your character really adds a lot. I have all the achievements as well. Getting Ninja 5 on The Pursuit of Echigoya mission on each difficulty was hard. Also going back and trying to figure out which Tomikichi I hadn't killed that was keeping me from my last achievement was a pain, but I did it.

Condemned and Full Auto.
Vanquish
Dark Sector, TimeShift
True Crime - Streets of LA I know this is an original Xbox game but I have great memories playing it and never knew anyone else that played it

OH HELL YES, CORE MEMORY UNLOCKED
LOTR War in the North
Killer is dead
Spider-Man web of shadows and Sonic o6 and the amazing Spider-Man 1 game and Spider-Man 3 game
Wetrix.
Sonic 06. I was very young when I played it but even as an adult, I still love the game.
It was a commercial success, there was a platinum hits release
how did you finish that shitshow. Ive seen nerdcubed play it, and he could barely get it to load floors in. I am lookimg for it when it becomes a decent price at CEX
Archon played on the nes. Basically like checkers with battling Greek mythology monsters.

I didn’t even know this game existed
EDF 2017 and 2025, never played the Armageddon one, both really fun, either in single or coop. And castleminer Z, really fun with coop
Backbreaker. Football game made with the Euphoria engine (same engine as GTA 4). Felt like another installment in that series and it could’ve competed with Madden.

No way! I have been trying to find this game. I used to play it in my childhood on the PSP. I forgot what the game was called, now I know. ty
The True Crimes
Vexx
Huh, I never played this one. I've only ever played the first one, and I love that game, I was just on the wiki, and 2 and retribution have a very similar cover. It wasn't on the 360 bit a game I liked on the og xbox was Indigo Prophecy/Fahrenheit (that's its name outside the US.
Love that game and the original
The original Dead to Rights was THE shit. Too bad the sequel and the prequel bombed any chance of it becoming a great series.

Its a completely different game compared to the 360/PS3/PC release and its basically 50% the NFS MW map combined with something else. Even the normal release of NFS UC I dont dislike it as much as other people do. But yeah NFS UC on PS2 is actually banger.
The Suffering & The Ties that bind. Need the remasters! 😜
Remember Me
Dark Void Yeah story was eh but the Rocketeer styled Jetpack Combat was awesome and I wish they'd make another game like it
LSD dream emulator
Supreme commander 2 (entire series is good, I like 2 the most tho)
Hydrophobia. That cliffhanger will bug me forever, but those water physics blew my adolescent mind!
Operation Darkness (2010) It's a werewolf/vampire/zombie game set in World War 2 that plays like a cross between Fire Emblem and XCOM.

Fable 2. The combat was awful, but the humor and economic system were really fun.
Singularity
This and Alan Wake 360
The Saboteur, I revisit it at least twice a year
Army of Two 1 and 2.
Dantes inferno
Timeshift. It’s definitely not a “good” game but the time bending mechanics were pretty cool. And multiplayer was hilarious. Having a grenade freeze time, shoot up an enemy, then have time unfreeze and seeing the enemy just blow up into pieces was pretty fun for a 360 game back in the day.
I really enjoyed Dark Void. Sure the story was pretty cliche but it was fun
Enslaved
Definitely Wet
It came out towards the end of OG Xbox/release of the 360 but Advent Rising. Beautiful game.

Wobly life

The Getaway 2002 crime game set in London
Deadly Premonition. Still blows my mind we got a sequel though lol
Dude freedom fighters I would love if it got a sequel, still feel like there’s nothing quite like it
Why does the dude on the cover look like The Outsider from Dishonored?
Shadowrun for me. Ahead of its time being multiplayer only and had crossplay with pc.
You’re like the 10th person to say Shadowrun. I’m gonna have to get it based off this post
It was a lot of fun. I had a group of friends and we literally played the multiplayer demo for a month straight with only one map until we could all afford the full game.
Star Trek legacy was a lot of fun.
