And you thought the New 3DS was confusing...
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
A console classic.
I did a IPS screen mod on a PSP i bought recently (broken screen Series 1000). PSP was £30 and the Screen was £20.
Loving it again! Really enjoying MGAcid2 and Valkyria Chronicles.
Highly recommend picking one up for cheap (1000 model) and doing the mod yourself.
I've been addicted to Metal Gear AC!D 2 recently as well. Over 83 hours in, and at 559 out of 565 cards! Almost there! PSP has a ton of great games that shouldn't be forgotten.
Always remember a store near me getting a Japanese import several months before the UK release. And then getting one for Xmas with GTA LCS. Mad to think that was nearly 20 years ago
This was probably my favorite portable since the Gameboy color (and now SteamDeck). Was my childhood.
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
The one in xbox one was suppose to mean one device for all your entertainment needs. Not defending the name but thats why its called that. If Phil was in charge during that time it would have a much cooler name
Recently I was talking to my friend (non gamer) about how I like the 360s controller more than the Xbox Ones, and he thought I was talking about the OG Xbox.
So for casuals/non gamers some of these might be confusing, but for any somewhat dedicated gamer, the names are a non issue.
Well that's two minutes of my life i wont ever get back
Pretty bad article. The PSP Go bit was the only part the guy didn't feel the need to throw around cuss words in. You shouldn't be a writer if you can't come up with better words than the f word to convey your point.
