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.
Nice to see Modern Warfare 3 retain the top spot.
Looks like Minecraft has staying power. Can it keep it up?
Top game on Xbox.......its quite sad really cause it just shows you that 360 gamers dont really like variety. They stick to the same old tired SHIT! No wonder MS doesnt feel the pressure to nor do they want to release new Ip's for that matter. Typical 360 gamer mentality, "New IP games PFFFFFTTT Who needs them we have Call of Duty 7, Halo 10 and Gears of War 9. Meanwhile over at MS headquarters they are counting the money and scratching their sack while thinking of new versions of Smart Glass to add to Xbox Live so that they can increase the price for that service......someone should just burn down both infinity Ward and Treyarch. And everyone on the 360 should band together and DEMAND MS to bring us new titles and not just break new exclusive deals on DLC and whatnot!
You know, if sony were to compile a similar list, I think you'd find a Call of Duty title on top as well.
I think the point is, Sony has new IP's in the works. Even though their top game is the same as M$. So Sony is actually creating something special unlike M$ who just has Halo, Gears, and early DLC. Which is paid for by the people who pay for Xbox Live. So if that's paid for by us then what does M$ actually invest in? Apparently not new IP's like Sony.
