The Xbox 360 just had it’s 20th anniversary. I’m not sure how I feel about it as a console today as most of the games are available on pc with only a few exclusives. I guess most of the nostalgia will be from playing online, which I never got the chance to do.

    I miss Xbox Live Arcade with the requirement that all games have free demos.

    Remember demos? Or magazine demos? Or magazines? 😉

    I just modded mine after not playing it for years. I forgot just how insane the library is for it and how great the graphics hold up in 2025.

    Its also so nice to actually own games and not have them taken away from some license BS.

      I’m so glad that he showed some games that aren’t shooters/sports or pc games. I found there’s a combo Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts / Viva Pinata that I decided to pick up. I’ve had a 360 collecting dust that I picked up cheap years ago and never really played it. I’ll probably pick up a few more games for it if I find them for cheap.

        Oh my God. This combo came with my 360. I never played the pinata game but banjo kazooie nuts and bolts is an actual masterpiece of a game if you’re in to vehicle building. It has to be the best game I’ve ever played in that genre, and it’s not even close.

    Definitely have nostalgia for a lot of the early games, mainly the ones coming out before PS3 support basically hit parity.

    Underrated aspect that I really miss was the old interface. The Windows 8 stuff they updated it to is so inferior to the blades.

    Wonder if there’s any homebrew fix to keep the old UI but be able to play all the games?
