Lmao at the intro with Too Human! Bodycount is a strange one, as apparently the developers stated it was based on a Lady Gaga song lmaoooooo (dead-ass serious too). Rogue Warrior I FINALLY got for PS3...can't wait to laugh playing that game. You reminded me I need Alice Madness Returns on PS3, but that one is a bit pricier and I want one with the Online Pass not used lol. Some serious banger pick ups here man!
A Lady Gaga song?! Wtf? That is such a random thing to get inspiration from. Those devs were probably high. I think you’ll find some enjoyment with Rogue Warrior, it’s certainly a game that could’ve benefitted with some extra polish. I do wonder if Online Passes are even still being sold today, or if Alice Madness Returns has an expiration date.
I love "Bodycount", which was created by some of the original team who made "Black". "Battlestations Midway & Pacific" are fantastic & there expansion DLC I bought for both game. "Xcom The Buerea Declassified" is a favorite of mine, get the expansion DLC while you still can. "Dark Void" is a real gem, it has a little DLC as well. On all my favorite 360 & PS3 games I love owning all the DLC for, which the masses seldom talk about or even know they have it. "Rogue Warrior" was so fun I layed through the entire game in one night, Mickey's voiceovers are priceless! "Star Trek Legacy" is a must for fans of the iconic series. All those "Fear" games are must own, there's 4 in all. "Need For Speed Most Wanted" is worth good money, although I only paid $20 years back. By the way this "FOMO" term is an old 1970's expression for Salesmen back in the day, coined by Zig Zeigler in his book "See You At The Top". The complete version of "FOMO", is, "The fear of loss is stronger than the desire for gain." It was a technique for sales people selling back in the day.
One thing we mustn’t forget about is the DLC as a lot of games from this generation had pieces of the story locked away with dlc. That explains why Bodycount was seen as a spiritual successor to Black, thank you for the clarification on that. I was looking at a book store and saw some of the Rogue Warrior books and was like, yep, this is accurate. 😂 I wasn’t aware the term FOMO’s origins but I do now. I hate to use it but it’s certainly gotten to me. Thankfully it’s helped me grab the 360 games I’m still missing. Hope you’re doing well Dean!
Man that era of consoles was so awesome but, I've been too much into Switch collecting to start buying retro too. Only Console i have from that era thats fully functional is the Wii. Great video though. Keep riding that Xbox hype train!
I swear the best game collecting hack is living in europe cuz these prices always spike in the US first and the EU market takes like a year before they adjust the prices. I remember getting Haunting Ground sealed for £10 when it was already a $100+ game over in the US. Now both are rare obvs
Interesting! Some people made it seem like it never spikes over in Europe but it sounds like it does but it takes some time. Sick that you got Haunting Grounds for that much, I love that game!
Thank you! I’ve been watching Dean’s content for years at this point and I love the perspective he brings to collecting and gaming in general. An absolute treasure on this platform.
Anybody like Remember Me? Liked the story a lot. Plus the Arkham beat em up style combat with a very interesting story. Didn’t get a lot of hype but it’s definitely worth it.
Remember Me is one I found during my retro game hunt back in September and I was more than happy to add it back into my collection. What a solid game that was severely overlooked. Glad to see more love and appreciation for it!
great games i have them all , did bought a second copy of need for speed most wanted just a week ago for 3 euros :D . my collection is very big 1300 orginal titels
Madness returns is so good! I wish I had played the original first, as it was unplayable after enjoying the sequel, at least to me. I got a lovely figure of her from the game! I wish it was the Hysteria one, but it still is pretty cool. Great video, brother! ❤️
I wish I jumped on the NECA (I think?) figure of her when it was around. Yeah, the first game hasn’t aged too well unfortunately. A shame EA are a bunch of scumbags and can’t let the license go so American McGee can make that sequel. 😭
One thing to keep in mind when comparing the price surge on games between the 360 and PS3, is the PS3 can be softmodded. The 360 can’t, so it’s hardware mods (and delicate soldering) only. Fewer people will be modding their 360s, which will keep demand for physical media higher than for the PS3. People thought the PS2 market would cool down after the surge last year, but even with softmods readily available for that console the demand (and price) keeps going up for rare titles. Once nostalgia kicks in, the sky is the limit.
Well modding is a hobby. Even a high school can. Lets be fair for me soft mod is annoying for me. If you go mod route at least do it the best way. Even the mod chip for switch is now dirt chip. I got mine during pandemic which I swap a v1 switch. That time is 400$ due to china shutting down due quarantine. I used to buy and sell v1 moddable . I don’t do modding but I know a lot. Most offer their service for a brand new price of a triple A game but mostly less maybe half or same price for a used switch games. Collecting is a niche but after trying all modded consoles, I realized that owning a game is better than beating the game. I started collecting late at 30 y.o from ps3, then 3DS and never knew I fell on the 360 trap and now owns a 360E and 50 games I purchaed from multiple sellers since 2 weeks ago. Modded x box are very cheap on my place and they are good but I only collect with boxes
Thank you Jon! The Bureau really caught me off guard, I guess it came out during a time where the market was over saturated which caused it to not get the attention it deserved.
I think buying now is the smartest option. I have a feeling when the market officially closes people will then start to panic buy physical copies. Just picked up Terraria [$14.99] for the 360 today, had no idea it had a physical version. I grabbed it because I figured like Minecraft, when the market closes people will probably buy those physical versions up!
I actually really like Morphx so far. Played for a couple hours and yeah The Suffering is the best comparison. The upgrade system makes this game. Probably the most unique and fun way to upgrade your character, plus you can change your upgrades whenever you feel like it.
I was trying to link all those organisms together but didn’t have enough pieces. I’m glad to hear that it gets better, I can deal with jank. Thank you for the feedback!
@@ScorpioCesarcade Yeah I agree the combat is quite awkward, and the biggest downside is only being able to carry 1 ranged weapon. Still pretty fun imo.
@@ScorpioCesarcade glad i bought a copy around 4 years ago for $25. just bought a nice stack recently though, warhammer space marine $30, saboteur $20, viking battle of asgard $10, sniper ghost warrior 2 $5, and battle fantasia $25 (BF is getting pretty hard to find)
Got my lollipop chainsaw, fable 2, and fable 3 bc of your last video hahaha. Of course i got some more i gotta hit up before too long. I need that srf logo in my basement!
Oh man, Lollipop Chainsaw had to hit you in the wallet pretty hard I imagine. I have it but it’s missing its manual and has a reprinted coverart. Hoping to complete it one day but I may just wait for the remaster.
It is interesting, I follow games that are up for auction to see how high they go and sometimes it really makes me scratch my head. Blur and Jurassic the Hunted surprise me considering they were multiplatform. Granted, Blur is a fantastic game made by an awesome company. Jurassic the Hunted is…well, I still gotta make my video about that someday.
Agree that claim sales are a better choice to get some retro games and sometimes even new gen games as well. I buy from young treasure all the time very trustworthy!
I think about 60% of my game collection came from claim sales! You can really get so many great deals from them. Young Treasures is indeed awesome, love when they have a great deal to claim.
i think most wanted is pricy because its the ebst version on console yeah no denying that btu it cant be remade due to music licenses and alot of people seem to have a obession for it i played it orignaly on ps2 then xbox but usualy do it on pc if you know where to look you can get it for free lol
I like how you're mocking all this absurd fomo thing for the 360 while giving good advices on collecting. 18:44 I see what you did there 😂 Wish you see your channel grow soon!
Haha! Yeah man, I admit the FOMO got me so I want to help other collectors out if I can so they don’t end up like me here. 😂 Thank you for the support!

Great picks dude! Keep riding this XBox 360 bus to monetization! The videos are great and its bringing in the viewers!!
Seriously! The last video I did really blew up and I couldn’t be happier so I wanted to up my game for this one. Hope you’ve been well Iowa Daddy!

I love the FEAR series. I got all of the games. You should also check out Shadowrun, Viking, Jericho, Dark Messiah, Fracture, and Quake 4!
All excellent suggestions! I have all of those except for Dark Messiah, what’s it like?

Nice to see Battlestations Midway and Pacific get mentioned on here. I think they’re fun and underrated action strategy games
They definitely are! I managed to find Pacific today at a game store in East Stroudsburg for about its going rate.
Dean from escape to gaming is a great dude. Cool to hear you mention him. His channel is very underrated. Good video dude.

The framerate and screen tear combined was doing my head in. 😓
When I heard that you know Dean Thompson, I had to subscribe to you. Dean is one of the best guys on here!
100% agreed on Dean, one of the best and realest! Thank you for subbing, hope you enjoy my videos past and future!
Dark Void was crazy good! Even if it is clunky by today's standards. I loved the action games on the 360
7th gen era was where I feel action games were perfected, sure there were a lot of average ones but so many flew under the radar.
MorphX looks interesting
If you think it looks interesting then give it a try!
Solid pickups my dude!! Especially Alice: Madness Returns, that game slaps
Truly one of my favorites of the 7th generation. I wish EA wasn’t run by a bunch of donkeys though.
@@ScorpioCesarcade I wish so too bro, that game is so fucking awesome!
Alice is one I have to get to. I definitely recommend The Bureau, that's a good game. Great selection there.
Thank you Jon! The Bureau really caught me off guard, I guess it came out during a time where the market was over saturated which caused it to not get the attention it deserved.

I never played Terraria but I have heard of it. I even came close to picking it up in a claim sale recently but I held off. Let me know how it is!
I commented on the last video but again..
Bodycount was £1 when I bought it last year in my country 🤣 I can never get over price hikes abroad
You got a good game for an absolute steal! Price hikes happen with all forms of media but I feel it really affects the US more.
NFSMW is most certainly the peak of the series IMO. HP probably second
I couldn’t agree more. The reboot of Most Wanted wasn’t bad but man, this one was just too good!
@@ScorpioCesarcade agreed!
U know what would be amazing, is if Microsoft one day released a 360 mini that can play all our physical games
Yesssss, heck I want them to do that with the original Xbox too. With proper hdmi output.
Morph X sounds like a drug. The cover art looks neat.
Yeah, the cover art looks really cool at the very least. I think the greener PAL territory cover art looks cooler too.
“BRO WTF” 😂 that was hilarious man
Where did he think he was going?
@@ScorpioCesarcade no clue 😂

I do like messing around with the PhysX engine and destroying boxes with the sword.
why is 50 cent blood in the sand over 100 now. thats one of the craziest price hikes imo lol
I'm not surprised considering it already fetched a pretty high price before this FOMO madness, that is one I don't see ever coming down unfortunately.
@@ScorpioCesarcade glad i bought a copy around 4 years ago for $25. just bought a nice stack recently though, warhammer space marine $30, saboteur $20, viking battle of asgard $10, sniper ghost warrior 2 $5, and battle fantasia $25 (BF is getting pretty hard to find)
Black was a good game. Bodycount seems unfinished. Too much clutter on the screen too.
I sold mine long ago.
I want to give it more of a go, but I agree. Black was such a flashy game for its time.
Got my lollipop chainsaw, fable 2, and fable 3 bc of your last video hahaha. Of course i got some more i gotta hit up before too long. I need that srf logo in my basement!

@@ScorpioCesarcade it did, but i got one for 45 for a sealed copy, so it was totally worth it!
Oh hell yes, Alice Madness Returns! My brother and I played through that game back in 2020, it was so much fun and just plain badass.
It really is a dark epic adventure, I loved all the environments it takes you through and the story revelations at the end! 🤯
I like dark void. Had fun beating it
I like the vertical cover sections, really haven't seen that done often! Can't wait to play more for it!
I seen that Blur and Jurassic the hunt, are starting to go up in price.
Im not going to lie, I find it interesting how much people are willing to pay.

Anytime licensed music is used heavily in a game then the chances of it staying up digitally or ever getting remastered drastically goes down.
@ScorpioCesarcade yeah esp music like that I think that game got most people around my age 30 into metal I blame it anyways lol
