The Xbox 360 launched in North America 18 years ago, and is now officially old enough to buy you a drink in Europe.
Great platform, and many of its games (not bc) still hold up well to this day. Like the PS3, I keep a 360 hooked up for those games you can't play any other way.
The last gasp of greatness from XBox, you are missed, except the RROD that was lame, but amazing exclusives until the Kinect dropped.
I really enjoyed my X360, some great exclusives on it. Used to play the shit out ot Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, two masterpieces
It's been 20 years to the day since Xbox Live brought online play to consoles.
I remember when Live turned five and they had special edition controllers made and everything. Kind of wished they would do that again for the 20th.
Happy Birthday. OG XBL (and later 360 XBL) really revolutionized online gaming on console.
Never understood the obsession with live...but I was gaming online on PC so not sure too much of what live did that the PlayStation didn't.
I had a PS2 and it's online experience was fine but it didn't have the same level of polish voice chat never worked for me but I was trying to play from Australia where not many people played PS2 online to the point where many devs simply dropped the online mode from the pal version.
That's not all PS2 games mind you there were plenty that worked perfectly but it was more on the dev and not the platform
During that era I also played a fairly large amount on online PC games and they were undoubtedly better than both systems. PS2 from functionality and Xbox because it was free
Playing my friends original Xbox it was a really polished experience it felt robust yet simple things just worked there was zero config.
Yeah but the time ps3 came the experience was the same on both based on what I played...not too much online though to be honest. But I do think that the xbox did help bring online into the console space a lot. As well as PC games to consoles.
Today would of been the perfect day to drop halo 2 the original bc version free on gwg.... If only
Xbox Live 1.0, the first instance of online servers for the original Xbox, is set to return via Insignia, a free third-party service that's currently compatible with 20 titles, such as Call of Duty: Finest Hour and Counter-Strike.
Lobbies, Matchmaking, Leaderboards, Voice Chat, Content Downloads, Friends Lists, all set to return
Halo 2 set to come later as it requires additional services to run online.
Beta sign ups available now with beta launch of 11/15/22. Certain features of XBL will roll out over the future.
Very cool for gold members...
With PS Plus I have about 15 full games I have downloaded but have not played yet...
Just not enough hours in the day :)
Same here. I prefer "in-depth" game play with 3-4 games (on either console) and can barely keep up (currently playing The Last of Us, Bioshock Infinite DLC, Battleground 3 multiplayer (all maps) and Halo 4 multiplayer).
Quality, not quantity, is what matters to me.
Once a game has been exhausted, (and all Trophies or Achievements have been won) i add another game of similar potential -- GTAV is my next candidate.
I dont think I have crackdown anymore (I like many bought the game just for the Halo 3 Beta). But it was surprisingly fun and enjoyable in co-op. So Im going to add it to my download history if i ever want to play it again. I haven't played Dead Rising 2 so this will be fun. Especially with the added dlc for free :)
I might as well enjoy my last few month of xbl until I switch to the ps4.
i already have crackdown and never played dead rising of any kind so this will be a good deal for me.
Excellent games. Played Crackdown was one of my favorite games and Deadrising 2 never played it. Love to jump on Crack down again and have fun with it. Deadrising can be a great way to reintroduce me to the franchise in anticipation for Deadrising 3 on Xbox One.
