- XBox 360 has everyone talking lately BUT for us we've BEEN playing and We're STILL playing Xbox 360 in 2024 and HERE'S WHY!
As much as we love PlayStation we had Xbox 360 YEARS before we jumped into PS3.
Many of the games everyone's scrambling to collect at the moment we loved back in the day.
We've even gone as far as to brand our gameroom bar with Gears of War.
Xbox 360 had a little bit of everything and in this video we grab some of our favorites from our 360 collection.
With 209 games we have curated a variety of favorites and today we're going to take some time to talk about them.
So many co-op games, survival horror and even a few RPG's
OH and did I mention our intense love for Rock Band and Guitar Hero!
If you're not playing Xbox 360 in 2024.....then now might be the time!

I dont know if I ever told you? I love the X360
It's got a great library! Lots to love for sure
How did I miss this channel? Great content, love the vibe. Watching you guys is like listening to close friends. Subscribed and currently binging through your videos.
Thank you so so much! That is super sweet of you to say. Sorry I missed your comment, but so happy to hear you love our vibe and I think you'll see that through the entire channel honestly. We love just hanging out, talking about games, bantering and having a blast with each other and our friends ❤️
It’s wild that yall are in this 360 throwback stage right now, I’m 100% in the same boat currently. I played through Red Dead 1, Mafia 2, Gears 2&3, & currently playing The Saboteur. This era was f’n excellent about not over bloating their games. Some great shout outs here tho, Bayonetta, the Gears games, Dead Space, Limbo, etc. also love that yall are spotlighting games that likely won’t spike in value too much. I don’t think people realize that 90% of the best games from “retro” systems are always going to be fairly cheap because they were mass produced. & I think that puts people off of retro collecting because they hear about how expensive it is, when in reality you can build a collection of heavy hitters for like $10 a game. Excellent video guys!
Spot on everything you said about building a collection on the cheap. The mass-produced games are some of the best on the system, hands down! 360 was the last great era for the Xbox, although we do find the odd title on Xbox one that we pick up. The bulk of our Xbox collection is OG and 360. Definitely having a throwback nostalgia for the console. It's been hard to want to play anything else lately because I think with the greater TH-cam community focusing on 360 it's making me realize games I've missed out on playing. At least there's a little positive to this whole 360 bloat in price debacle 🤣
Love how you actually played the games and tell why you like them. So many vids with people showing games they never played. Great vid
We would never ever think to do it otherwise. That's a TH-cam pet peeve of ours honestly. it's so easy to ask AI to give you information to say but you're 100% robbing yourself of a great experience!
Man I've been playing it heaps recently. I never got to play gears of war back in the day and it's a blast replaying fallout 3 and new Vegas!
Gears is easily Scott and our son's fav co-op series. So good!
great video. Went to get Deathsmiles today but had no manual.
My Deathsmiles is still sealed. XD
I hate when that happens. We have a few in our collection that are missing the manual. Also our Game Stop only carries current and last gen :(
Subscribed love this!
Aw thanks so much! I really appreciate it
Hell yeah, same. Still play 360, PS3 and Wii a lot! More than my Switch and, Series X.
Yeah our Series X was a huge disappointment. 360 and PS3 are awesome. It was a generation of dependable FINISHED at launch games
@@RetroRivals so very true!
Great stuff, Scott and Jen! I'm so flag I bought a lot of these games in the past couple of years before the spike! The first Army of Two was super fun!
SAME! We couldn't quit get to the PS2 but we had a lot of the big ones on XBOX and XBOX 360. Our 360 collection value has grown by over $1000 just in the last month. It's insane where the prices are going
There are actually a decent ammount of rpgs on the 360, just very overlooked. Still way more on the ps3. Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, and Magna Carta 2 being the first 3 that come to mind.
Oh, definitely some decent RPGs on the system and we'll get into that in our next video with games we want to play or at least jump into a bit in 2024. I think for us we just see the 360 as a co-op shooter machine and the PS1 as the definitive RPG console.
I will be honest I just started collecting and playing games on the Xbox 360. I have always played on PlayStation. The 360 has a lot of good games and I will definitely try them.
I think go with whichever console you like best for your main library and just pick up the exclusives that interest you. Best of both worlds :)
I love the way you guys present things in your videos! I could attempt to do it the same way and it would be freakin’ terrible but you guys have such great on screen chemistry…I know I know your married but the way you two play off one another is perfect. Great collection! Lots of good games. I have so many that I never bothered to pick up because I always thought…oh I will run into this at the thrift or pawn and just never did. Here is hoping we all still get some lucky finds for the 360. Great video you two! 🍻🤙🏻 Stick of Truth was phenomenal! Let’s see what your top 5 are for the console and what your most expensive are for the console.
It could never be terrible Josh. You don't give yourself enough credit. We love your vids. And let me just say it helps having someone to bounce off of.
We will be putting out a most expensive but I love the idea of favs on the console as well!
Everyone is talking about the Xbox 360! Lol. Great variety of games. Some of my favorites here!
It's a hot topic for sure. sad to see the store closing but I guess that was inevitable
Excellent video, thank you! Some good recommendations!
Lolipop Chainsaw is going to be a remaster now and is apparently, releasing sometime, this Summer.
Thanks so much really appreciate that ☺️
Yeah, someone in the comments was saying that it's releasing this summer. Apparently supposed to be called lollipop chainsaw repop
Another one where I didn't get the notification... Awesome suggestions! I'm a bit jealous about that Marvel Ultimate Alliance Gold! It's out of my price range and it just keeps going up! And like you said, with the store closing it will only get worst! I need to give myself some goals to play some more 360 eventually, especially since I've bought a bunch lately because of everyone talking about them! I found Neverdead for 17$ cad on eBay because of Steve Craig today! I also need to play Alice. I have it on 360, I just haven't played it yet! I'm just too much invested in newer releases lately! Oh well, I'll have a busy retirement when it happens lol! Great video and keep up the good work!
I'm in the same boat. Those brand new sparkly current gen releases get so much love from me that I forget about amazing titles on the Xbox 360 and the PS3 for that matter. Steve, Craig is making us all spend a lot of money lol. I went on eBay looking for prison break and am very sad that it's gone up as much as it has. I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for it. Luckily we had never dead already so there's that lol.
Thanks so much for the comment and never feel bad if you miss a video or notification. We just love seeing people enjoy themselves and playing their games. If we can help influence that in any way, that's cool too :)
Xbox 360 is a beast. One and Series are a shame.
100% right. And I couldn't agree more about the one in series X. It just was a complete letdown
7th gen is defo one of my favourite eras. But I gotta say, for me it will always always be PS3>360, always. I do like the 360 a lot, but PS3 is just the best way to play 👌
I really need to play the Alice McGee games.
Resi 5 is so good 👍
GuitarHero/RockBand nights were the best 🍻
That AsurasWrath is a pricey one, but it was only around £3 digitally recently 😁
HalfLife2 😍
DantesInferno is an absolute beast of a game, GodOfWars will always be better, but I loved the even darker theme of Dantes, loved it 😁
Cool vid with great games all round 👌
Totally agree with ya there. The more we've dug into the PS3 library I'm really enjoying that system. The Xbox 360 was the last great era for Microsoft's console library so I would tell most people to go after the exclusives.
I would like to see your weird and obscure xbox 360 games.
That's a great idea! Thanks for the suggestion
I have been on a buying spree for the 360 since October last year!!!
Smart!!!! I was looking at price charting and it started to creep up right around December 2023
Yes, more Xbox 360. Everyone loves the 360.
It was our first console that we highly started collecting for and the first console our son loved too!
Not sure if you guys knew but you can import custom songs into Rock Band 3 for free. There's thousands of songs people have made for it.
I had no idea! Wow! Thanks so much. Gonna check into that
@@RetroRivals you need to download update 4 I believe and then not update to the latest. You then use a pc utility to port the songs to a flash drive
@@kdogg7882 Thanks so much! I took a screenshot of what you just said so I can try to get this done :) again, much appreciated
@@RetroRivals you have to google to find the update and the application name but the songs are on a site called rhythmvetse
Glad I found this channel
Thanks so much! Glad you found us too. We don't take our two selves too seriously and we like to have fun so if you enjoy that you're at the right place :)
Rainbow 6 Vegas is my all time 360 game!!
Yeah rainbow 6 vegas is a good time. Definitely a fun one!!
Alice is WAAAAAAAAAY much more than a simple hack and slash! Jenn, you really should have had Alice in a category of its own titled "Super Duper Must Play God Tier Games" 😮😂
Yes! Stick of Truth is becoming your channels equivalent to my Final Fantasy VII Suikoden II 😂
I expect SoT to be in all your upcoming videos now 😂😂
It was only the 360 exclusive RPGs I really bought. I'm a Sony Pony, you know this, so I will not be jumping on the 360 bandwagon 😉
Alice is 1000% God tier. We certainly agree on this.
Lol 🤣 we're not even done talking about Stick of Truth. Gotta put it in the pick up video 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah I don't blame ya for just getting the RPG exclusives but even though you're a self confessed Sony Pony the community has worn you down a bit; small victory!
+1 for Alice God Tier Gang!
Darksiders is a great game. Fun to play.
Asura's Wrath jump in price recently is crazy. Fun game but wow with the price.
We had so many game nights for some four player game nights with Ultimate Alliance. So much fun and there was plenty of heroes to choose from.
The Orange box is a great value.
The 360 has a lot of good stuff to play.
Yeah it's a great library. We have a lot more games we still want to play that are already in our collection. Planning on doing a video on this as well. I'm sure the community will have some great information on ones we should play that aren't on our list as well. That's what I love about the gaming community.
I dont think you could argue that fable 2 is "better" but I do love it a lot. If you like Southpark at all you will love the game Jen.
I really really did enjoy Fable 2 and I would want to reserve judgment on which one is best until I played South Park. I do enjoy South Park but maybe not as much as Alex and Scott do... So we'll see
The 360 was my favourite console of that generation, the line up of games was incredible 🔥Dead Space and Bioshock take the crown from this list 👏
I absolutely loved dead space and BioShock. I've played a lot of the first installments of most series but haven't gotten around to the second ones of either one of these yet. Hopefully at some point.
@@RetroRivals You must they are all great!
A lot of great games here! I never owned an Xbox 360 but I played a lot of these games on the PS3. The Lollipop Chainsaw RePop - as they call it- is supposed to come out this summer! I beat the original and really enjoyed it. I'm a fan of B movies so that helped my opinion of it. Deathsmiles is great too! I have that on the Switch and Steam. I love the holiday themes of the 2 games Halloween/Christmas. I absolutely love Resident Evil 5. A really great co op experience for sure. Not really an Xbox guy here but looking forward to more of these videos!
Cool to hear they haven't given up on the remake. We hadn't heard anything about it in a while. Death smiles is a great one for people who are noobs to the shmup genre. I love Resident Evil 5 as well and I think I like it more than 6. I'm excited to see what they do with it as a remake. Hopefully that's still the plan.
PLEASE for the love of god, alphabetize those games! :P. My OCD was CRYING.
DUDE! Right? Tell that to the other guy though because I alphabetize everything and then he messed it up. He wants all the co-op together and all the single player....but still won't alphabetize them. It's my biggest gripe in our game room!!!!
Ha! I noticed that too!
360 is a beast ....we have 7 set up😂😂
Dante's Inferno is bewty, Gears series are so good (especially co-op).
I've got fond memories of playing Ultimate Alliance with Tommy and my youngest son Billy when they were little.
Resi 5😂😂😂 I've finished it multiple times. Ask Tommy if you ever get the chance what he thought of our play through.
I think we have 3 or 4 set up. They are so cheap to buy and pretty easy to fix.
I'll DEFINITELY be asking Tommy about that LOL
I had the Xbox 360 on launch, and went with that console for many years. Then I gave in to the itch I was having for the PS3, and traded everything in for it. Not once did I regret it.
However, its not to say that the 360 is a bad console. I love the dang thing. What I can't stand about it, though, is that Microsoft has to be so far up your wazoo, that you can't even watch a DVD without being tethered to the internet. Even today, its like that.
Heck, I returned the Series X because of it. I couldn't even change the theme without first having to be online. I'm just glad I don't have to put up with that nonsense on PC.
I can totally understand and appreciate that. I think Microsoft is on their way out with the console market. I think the 360 was the last good generation they had and that's sad. We love our PlayStation consoles so I know exactly where you're coming from
Marvel Ultimate Alliance Gold/Platinum alone is enough to pick up a 360.
You're definitely right about that!
Hack and slash really thrived in this era. So many fantastic hack n slash games on this list. This is definitely the best way to handle the music games. We need to do this. We were spread out among different systems like some idiots. For future 360 content I think a "hidden Jen" video would be cool. This era of gaming feels dominated by the AAA publishers. What are the good games that slipped under the radar?
Hack and Slash was definitely big in this era that's for sure. In the next video we're going to get into some games we want to play. There might be a few hidden Jens in there 😁 and some that slipped under the radar.
Yeah collecting the music games for one console probably would have made more sense LOL 🤣
Always love seeing Scott in the shirt. What digital only 360 games do you have?
It's one of his favs shirts for sure 😊
I have no clue what we have digitally. It's honestly something I never look at though Scott probably has a few. Any recommendations?
@@RetroRivals contra hard corps
Great selection of games..but, where are the racing games? Need for Speed Most Wanted, Ridge Racer, Blur? All great games.
They are amazing games. We have been playing a lot more racing games but we tend to have more love for them in the OG Xbox era. Xbox 360 seemed to be our co-op shooter phase. You're not wrong though, BLUR and Need for Speed we're powerhouses in the racing genre.
Definitely love Blur..mariokart on steroids.. recently picked up fatal inertia for the 360.. like that alot as well.
black ops 2 gun game split screen is unbeatable
Scott and our son Alex love split screen co-op. The gun play on the 360 in co-op was unbeatable for sure!
Xbox 360, FOREVER 🖖
Absolutely! It was the last generation that Xbox was truly great.
Great video guys! And hey we all know this isn't just because it's a popular topic ..i mean the only way to ride that trend is following it up with most expensive xbox games ..or something 😅 lol.
Joke aside, it's a great system and i always go back to it once a year at least. I remember when it came out i was working a summer job and couldn't decide to buy a 360 or a new laptop. The ps3 hadn't come out yet, so I was undecided.my best friend and I went to a toys r us and saw the 360 kios there playing some games, and it looked amazing , both of us left that store with a preorder of the 360.. one of the few consoles i got on launch.
We also figured a way to hack it's firmwares to play burned games lol so we had fun with that too haha.
I would put devil may cry 4 in there too, i know not everyone loved it but i enjoyed it. Too many games to list but yeh maybe a top 10 list would be cool without it being split into categories. Or a top 10 of games you still want to try from your collection of 360 games.
Man i wish i could enjoy re6, but i found it to be hot garbage. 5 is really fun in co up but 6 had no saving grace for me, it felt like a a dreamcast era arcade game that they just put resident characters in, it really feels like those arcade games.
I was super disappointed with deadspace remake , never played the original, but literally had no scares at all for me, like not even one jump scare but everyone else seems to love it, i had to almost force myself to finish it just so i could trade it in for another ps5 game but we all have our own likes and dislikes and that is ok.
Resident evil revelations 2 is a great game, maybe you can play that with your son next
It's funny. You should mention following it up with most expensive games because we're totally going to do that, but before we get to that, we're going to do a video on games. We're looking forward to playing in 2024 that are still on our backlog in the 360 catalog.
Oh don't you worry, we have our own banned console as well 😂😂😂😂 back before I thought owning physical media mattered. Boy how the tides have turned!
I'm almost done playing Resident Evil 6 and I honestly think I like 5 better.
I think Scott played Resident Evil Revelations 2 with Alex but I can't remember. Not that he wouldn't play it with me as well because he played 6 with Scott just over a year ago.
Yeah, I've only played the original Dead Space and I actually enjoyed it. It's getting harder and harder though for me to find horror games that blow me away. There's something about aliens though and outer space that still gives me the creeps.
My dad bought me the Xbox 360 Slim a week after release in November 2010, and it still works now today.
I still play my Xbox 360 because there are OG Xbox and Xbox 360 games that aren't backward compatible with Xbox Series X.
I own Bayonetta and Vanquish for Xbox 360, and I own the Bayonetta/Vanquish 10th Anniversary Bundle for Xbox One (all 3 physically)
I bought Lollipop Chainsaw for Xbox 360 on Facebook Marketplace for almost 3 years ago, I then met Tara Strong at Fan Expo Chicago 2023, and she signed it for me ❤. I'm also stoked for Lollipop Chainsaw RePop 🍭
I love Alice Madness Returns!! I bought it on Ebay about 2 years ago. I got it on my 32nd birthday. I just with EA would let American McGee make Alice 3! 🙁.
I own Splinter Conviction, and Michael Ironside signed it for me at Days of the Dead Chicago in April 2024 😎
I own RE5 & RE6 for Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
I know everybody talks about the red ring of death and while it was a problem, we have fixed several of our Xbox 360 consoles and they're still running so...
We play a lot of our OG Xbox games as well and we're really disappointed with the backwards compatibility too. It's a shame because it could have been amazing.
I know I'm gutted that we won't get a third Alice game. It could have been phenomenal. I think the working title was supposed to be Alice asylum and just the title alone has me intrigued. Sadly we will never know.
Finally someone with a good "trending" 360 video without the whole FOMO shitshow. Thanks for that.
Agreed! It's only driving up the prices. We are going to put out a video about our most expensive on the system but we caution people throughout the video and at the first that this is NOT the time to buy Xbox 360. I think at this point if you don't have something that's shot up in price you need to wait until the market cools like it did with PS3
Cool video, are all these game's on Playstation or only some, cause I have never owned any X-box consoles
The gears series is exclusive to xbox I am pretty sure all the others are also on ps3
Not all of them are Xbox exclusives. Lollipop chainsaw and Alice are on both consoles definitely.
I LIKE YOUR VIDEOS Are very amazing
You are too kind ❤️
Playing Bayonetta right now. Not my style of gameplay. Hard game. But nice character 😏
Yeah I don't think it's a game for everyone for sure. I'm not sure how I would feel about the game but I definitely be willing to try it. I wonder if my husband liked it for the gameplay or the eye candy more 😁
I LIKE playing xbox 360 video games to have fun
They certainly are great 😃
I should state, I know Devil may cry is on Playstation as well as Guitar Hero, as I own those, as well as Resident evil game's
No shit. Only a couple games they talked about are 360 exclusives.
For us we played a lot of Xbox 360 because we had it before the PS3 and Scott tends to like the 360 controller better that's not to say we didn't totally double dip 😂😂😂🤣
ANOTHER Xbox themed video? Freaking TH-cam trends...ugh. All right, for YOU guys...
Still cannot believe I've not played a Bayonetta game. Tried but could not get into the DMC series. Lollipop Chainsaw was amazing. I'd like to check out Alice someday. Heh, pretty sure I told you guys before I've never played a Rock Band/Guitar Hero game; I love music, freaking LOVE music, but never had any interest in playing any of them.
Oh we're gonna have a few more. Gotta ride the wave and make the most of it 😂😂😂
You NEED to play Alice. It's amazing.
The fact you haven't played rock band or guitar hero is criminal! Come to Moncton, we will make a weekend of it!
I love the Xbox 360
Us too 😁 It's a great console with some great games for sure
I went to gamestop to buy Assassin's Creed 3 for the Xbox 360 Battlefield Hardline for the Xbox 360
Nice!!! Hope you enjoy them :)
Do you have Phantom Crash?
That's on OG Xbox correct? I don't think we do although Scott loves a good mech game
The Question is not why you still play 360. The Question should be : why not ? I'm also still playing Playstation 1,2,3 . Great Consoles, great Games
Our channel is a variety for sure. Xbox 360 is hot right now and people are enjoying the content. Trust me we are BIG playstation fans. Our fav consoles are PS4 and PS1. I think now is NOT the time to collect for Xbox 360 because that ship has sailed and the are super inflated BUT now if a great time to hit up PS4.
@@RetroRivals Oh Yes. There are Tons of Games and the most are not expensive. Same Thing on the ONE i think.
Is Ultimate alliance backwards compat with Series X? Man I would love to get the DLC before they shut down.
Unfortunately not, I think there was a Xbox One digital port that was delisted long ago.
I believe it is....now I have to check for sure. It's worth getting if you can get it on the cheap. We got lucky and only spent about $65-$70 on ours a couple years ago
@@RetroRivals Okay here's a silly question but for Ultimate Alliance 1&2 I had codes redeem on this account. Is it possible to retrieve if I just have the game?
@@Simulati0n Honestly I have no clue, wish I could have better info but I'm not sure
Can you recommend me games for xbox360 that is not on ps3???
Actually that's not a bad idea. We have a lot of exclusives on the system which is what we typically do since you want to grab them the only way you can play them. Look for a video for that at some point within the next little bit 😊
All Gears of war are 50p or 1 pound in England I have notice USA games alot ea games are 1 pound. Alice game is 22 pound its rare in England
Wow, I didn't know Alice was rarer in England. I had a hard time finding the PS3 version but it's one I see here and there.
@@RetroRivals i never owned PlayStation 3 or 4 I only bought an PlayStation 5 for PlayStation games because there alot better than any Xbox one to series x games I been dispointed for along time never said that about the Xbox 360 games
@@darrenhitchen247 so true!!!
Those prices tho 😮
Right?!? It's pretty insane! I was very happy that we decided to get ahead of the 360 price hike and we got all of these really cheap.... for the most part
No Ninja Gaiden 2!?
First Scott has to beat Ninja Gaiden and then maybe Ninja Gaiden 2 gets played :)
You guys should buy fable 1 and 3
We have both of them :)
I LIKE buying xbox 360 video games
It's a great library
❤😊😊😊
Awww thanks ☺️
I tried to get my kids to play team fortress on the orange box by saying you want to play the fortnite prequel?
Oh my God that's hilarious! Did they fall for it?
I want to see a video where you to through your 360 collection and ask yourself, why are we keeping this horrible game. :)
A lot of the expensive 360 games are pretty terrible. even more so than other consoles. people call them "hidden gems", but hidden gems should actually be decent games
bahahahah I think we've kind of done that though with the series we had last year. Mind you I'm sure there are more in the collection that could take a hike. Have to play them to find the ones that are not making the cut. Stay tuned!
You can play all of these on pc
I'm sure you can and that's great. For someone that enjoys PC gaming, we prefer console.
Xbox sucks, except the 360...aaannnnnd probably the OG....IMHO
Totally couldn't agree more! Our Xbox Series X has been a huge disappointment. The backwards compatibility that was promised was a HUGE flop!
The only reason why anyone would play on Xbox 360 is cause of achievements now if anyones playing still on the Wii that gives no achievements that means they don’t have a Switch
Honestly, we're not trophy hunters or people that even care about achievements. I know lots are but for us it was just the system we went with and loved the library. Now the console on the other hand...... 😂
@@RetroRivals well Xbox isn’t just giving achievements they giving away money for just earning an achievement on a game pass game I earn 1 achievement per day I continue playing the games until I unlock all the achievements it might take me 30 days to complete all the achievements and another reason achievements are great are cause they are reminders what you did last in the game so your not lost not every game is like resident evil you play again it makes you start where you left off go try doing that in a Zelda game you haven’t played for 2 years you have no idea what you need to do next so you’ll have to start a new game from scratch I remember going on Zelda on the Wii and didn’t know where to go next if only achievements where there that would of helped
