Impulse Buys: Xbox 360's Greatest Remakes, HD Editions And Compilations

Edwin Evans-Thirlwell: ''Look at the games on your shelf. I'm sure they're great games, because you're reading our website, and if you're reading our website, you're evidently a being of taste and discretion. Want to know something depressing about the games on your shelf? Well, at some point in the next couple of years you'll probably buy them all again for Xbox 720 with subtly improved graphics, a few bolt-on collectables and (if you're lucky) a download code for an Xbox Live copy of some hopelessly dated spiritual precursor.''

XCOM: Enemy Unknown - A Welcome Rebirth

XCOM: Enemy Unknown rebooted the series back in 2012, and has since inspired numerous new strategy game series to be born.

If someone gets into this I'd recommend getting the enemy within version. It's got all the dlc included so it's the better version. Wish the author would've atleast mentioned it. I didn't see it.

Fantastic game though. Xcom 2 is top notch also. I've spent countless hours in these games.

ModsDoBetter178d ago

Excellent game.
Played to death on PS3 years ago.

S2Killinit178d ago

What other games were inspired by this game?

JL2930178d ago

Gears Of War Tactics, Phoenix Point. Many others.

shinoff2183178d ago

Phoenix point if I remember was created by the original xcom developer or something to that affect. I did try gears tactics some months ago and I just couldn't get into it. It's probably just me

JL2930177d ago (Edited 177d ago )

It was, but it was really closer to the newer XCOM than the older ones. Gears Tactics was okay but was hard to get into knowing there probably wont be a sequel.

4 or 5 players in a game is not players frantically dusting it off

Jin_Sakai208d ago

We all know that videogamer.com went to each and every Xbox 360 owners house to watch them frantically dust off their 360s.

Vits208d ago

I mean it is a 1000% growth in the player-base. /s

mandf208d ago

Enough to write an article though. N4g new owners are insulting us for click revenue

Vits208d ago

@mandf

Nothing to do with new owners. N4G has always been the trashcan for game news and discussion.

northpaws208d ago

I love video games so much that I never have the time to replay the old one that I have finished, my backlog has only gotten bigger and bigger. I don't get how some people can play one game for years (except for mmorpg)

mandf208d ago

It's an exaggeration to the extreme. A way making an exclusive seen grander than it is.

Profchaos208d ago

Some people do I know someone who only ever plays dune 2000 which is rarely but still

RedDevils207d ago

Those Fifa or COD players do that every years.

Inverno208d ago

Wonder why they've never ported this game over to last Gen and now current Gen. This game would be pretty popular right now, I think.

Metal Gear Solid HD Collection - Preparing for Snake Eater Remake

The Metal Gear Solid HD Collection launched in 2011, and is still the best way to play Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater ahead of the remake.

Can’t wait to one day break that game out of the collection vault

aaronaton313d ago

Currently playing Snake Eater HD on CRT 16:9, via Scart RGB. Game looks great but not as clean as MGS2, but thats due to the setting. Can't wait for the remake + the next HD collection on PS5.
