I'm not sure if it qualifies as a hidden gem, but I had a blast playing South Park Let's Go Tower Defense on the X360 back in the day. Definitely one of my favorites from the Xbox Live Arcade .
I mean its a great console but lets not just go around making up lies here lol. The ps2 library stomps all over the 360 library in terms of size AND variety
Great video! I love the 360, and Blur was such an underrated game for it. Damnation was one I really wanted to like, but those aiming mechanics really hurt. Never heard anything good about the Star Trek game, but now I have to find it and play it! Singularity is another I would recommend that doesn't get brought up much. Really liked that game. Thanks again for all the great recommendations!
Early 360 was a really special era. Many of those games felt more like peak Ps2 and Xbox, rather than the type of games that eventually would come out for the 360 ps3 generation.
A game that's kinda similar to Rez on the XBOX 360 is Child of Eden (it's a rythim shooter as well as Rez) it's kinda weird,but the music totally kicks asses
@@SecondOpinionGames1 if you like Rez you're not gonna be dissapointed with this one on the gameplay aspect,the cinematics are weird,but all of those colors that are in the gameplay are totally yum,very flashy indeed😎
Damnation from the time Codemasters used to do other genres. It's no surprise they then decided to concentrate on racing games. Mini Ninjas which to me always sounded like a savoury snack was made by the guys behind Hitman iirc.
Never should have stopped booting up the 360. Xbox one and onwards was nothing but disappointing. Playing these old games again is a breath of fresh air.
Your gamelist is so true, excellent choice, so much of xbox 360 games are actually more fun than what we are still playing today in 2024 ,it was the golden age ,these games had a true soul, now games are so beautiful but without soul like before 😔😔 thanks for this video ,what a great pleasure 👍🏻👍🏻
The 59 cent game is good just tryed it out because of your list I only played the first one on the original Xbox. This one is better although the first one is also good. Thank you
Two games I want to like are SH Homecoming and Neverdead, but I don't like the clunky controls. When you have to swing a blade with the thumbstick it just feels unintuitive
The Star Trek game plays like Resident Evil 5. So I really didn't have any super negative things to say outside of the partner's ai. I still had fun with it.
My last 360 was in 2010 and i just find out that the servers and store are still online but all will be shut down in the mid of the year after freaking 18 years!!!!
Did they mention Aces of the Galaxy yet? That's the game I bought for 5 dollars, returned it because I couldn't log in to my account, fixed the login problem, and discovered I can't ever rebuy it because the game was never withdrawn from my downloads list which would be piracy at this point to use, meaning I'm locked from legitimately using it now. But decenf game.
Batman was over looked for the other Batman man games. And a bad game to one can easily be another’s favorite if they had the time to master the controls 😃
Xbox 360s are for playing Culdcept Saga. Anything else is just a bonus. Actually, I've never understood all the love Under Defeat gets. I've had it since its Dreamcast launch, and it's a very dull shooter that for some reason keeps getting re-releases like it's a masterpiece. It may well be my least-favorite DC shooter.
@@SecondOpinionGames1 i cant play first person games, they give me motion sickness.there is a part where im fighting some giant looking bear thing and i cant kill him.
For the first 3 years of the console the 360 ran every game better. About half way through year 4 the ps3 started to get better. So maybe 15-20 games total run better on the ps3. Almost every game runs better on the 360.
Ace Combat Assault Horizon is garbage and needs to be left to die on this generation. If you really knew what you were talking about here you’d have suggested Ace Combat 6 instead.
Yikes, there are some absolute Stinkers in this list. Damnation is 2/10 on its best, non buggy day. Star Trek is one of the worst AAA games ever made and also gets a 2/10, the worst Ace Combat game by a distance 5/10 and Facebreaker, a really poor fighting game 3/10. Methinks the author does not know what a hidden gem is as half of these are fossilised Dino Dung. Gun, BotS, Vanquish, Blur and pretty much any Telltale game from this period are worth playing but, seriously, Damnation and Star Trek are AWFUL.
@@SecondOpinionGames1 I did. Unless someone has patched the hell out of it it remains a janky, clunky, joyless slog of a game, well until the bugs get you which was the third mission if memory serves, the one where, if you're playing solo, spock has to be elsewhere but just blunders into the scenery or falls off platforms. It is an irredeemably bad game and got the critical panning it deserved. You cannot review in a bubble, and the only big release game that springs to mind as bad in that era was DNForever. Otherwise you could call things like Quantum Theory a hidden gem and that gave you smallpox! Swap in Dark Sector, Wolfenstein, Eternal Sonata or Dark Void as they all had problems but were mechanically competent at least and had a little bit of innovation.
@@SecondOpinionGames1 Ace Combat was brilliant. Loved it going all arcadey in the close up battling, gave it an incredible cinematic feeling. For me much better than trying to shoot a dot from 3 miles away. But i can understand how "purists" (and I use that with a lot of disdain) would not appreciate that direction.
the "Rappers in video games" sub-genre needs to return. Def Jam was so good, and it seems like blood on the sand was overlooked.
360 never stops giving even in 2023
Very true 🙏. It’s like a good friend 😃
and 2024 either
and 2025 too! ^^
Mini Ninjas is slept on, that game was very easy, yes, but very satisfying and charming af!
I was very surprised by how much I liked it 😃
I'm not sure if it qualifies as a hidden gem, but I had a blast playing South Park Let's Go Tower Defense on the X360 back in the day. Definitely one of my favorites from the Xbox Live Arcade .
I think it’s a hidden gem 💎 😃
The Xbox 360 is still the console with the biggest game library and im currently building my Xbox 360 Collection 😊.
It is a great console to collect for 😃
I mean its a great console but lets not just go around making up lies here lol. The ps2 library stomps all over the 360 library in terms of size AND variety

Thanks I’ll check it out 😃
Nice to see Singularity get some love
@@SecondOpinionGames1another vote for Singularity, just brilliant once it all kicks off.
good list! hope you plan on continuing the XBLA series! was really digging that
I will. It’s hard because it requires lots of time for a 3 minute video 😃
one cool feature of vanquish is the cigarettes, you can throw them to divert fire of the enemy
Heck yeah. So awesome 😃

Split Second is also another amazing racing game.
Literally played this last week for the first time. Very Burnout-esque.
Yes. That’s one of my favorite psp games. 😃
These are all games I had not got,so often I find that games I really enjoy are not top titles.great video and good that you enjoy making them 😀
Yes. This is my dream job. I hope one day I can survive just editing and making videos all day. 😃. This is just for the love of games
Finally watched it! Keep up the good work!
Thanks 🙏 😃

Mini ninjas is definitely worth a try. 😀
@@SecondOpinionGames1i did play a bit back in the day but only some of the opening forest iirc.

Awesome video and temp thanks
Thanks. 🙏 this one is really taking off 😃
Bionic Commando and Dark Void are easily one of the better hidden gems outhere

Vanquish is an absolute gem. Absolutely recommend to anyone since Platinum always puts out bangers of games 👍
Very true 😀
Nice games, i do like star trek and facebreakers.
Theres some rough games in this video. Glad blur got a nod as its great
I don’t know I had a good time with them.
@@SecondOpinionGames1 i guess thats all that matters. Games are meant to be fun!
Two games I want to like are SH Homecoming and Neverdead, but I don't like the clunky controls. When you have to swing a blade with the thumbstick it just feels unintuitive
I might put them in another 360 video 😃
Condemned 2 bloodshot is another hidden gem that is stuck on 360
It has its moments 😃
The Star Trek game plays like Resident Evil 5. So I really didn't have any super negative things to say outside of the partner's ai. I still had fun with it.
My last 360 was in 2010 and i just find out that the servers and store are still online but all will be shut down in the mid of the year after freaking 18 years!!!!
360 was cool and all but it didn't have ultra vortek 😑 so only atari jaguar is victorious😑
Haha 😂
The hell is with the audio of your captures?
Is it that bad? I thought it was ok 🤔
the 360 is still (in my opinion) the best console ever, there are plenty of games that I have yet to play and discover so thank you for this!
It’s definitely hi on my list. Up with the WiiU. Vectrex. And Dreamcast 😃
Did they mention Aces of the Galaxy yet?
That's the game I bought for 5 dollars, returned it because I couldn't log in to my account, fixed the login problem, and discovered I can't ever rebuy it because the game was never withdrawn from my downloads list which would be piracy at this point to use, meaning I'm locked from legitimately using it now.
But decenf game.
I deleted it off my console just to be clear, don't lock my account for theft.
I didn’t. But I’ll look into it 😃
Didn't realize some of these games are PAL only 😢
Sorry. I collected do many games 😀
Should work in most countries
Saying the game kinda sucks but then it’s a hidden gem? Batman is hidden? 🤔 And damnation sounds horrible 😂
Batman was over looked for the other Batman man games. And a bad game to one can easily be another’s favorite if they had the time to master the controls 😃
@@SecondOpinionGames1 I wouldn’t call it hidden with the Batman and telltale name behind it. But heck I’ve seen people say days gone is a hidden gem
@@Enigmalake I’ll look at it 😃
ok now give sega saturn,atari jaguar hidden gems and break it down in 60 videos -_-
I will get around to it 😀
Batman Arkham City Imposters is the best multiplayer shooter of all time.
Hot take but mostly valid 😃
I really miss this game
Platforming in Damnation is what makes it actually more fun. Poor noobs that have hard times to time jumps lmoa

I don’t think I ever beat level 3 but i play it About once a month. It just feels like the arcade 😃
Was hoping for exclusives but these aint that
I see the youtube algorithm was kind to you for once.
I hope they all will from here on. But I know they won’t 🤔
What's with the weird echo in every clip?
Sorry I need a new microphone. Maybe Santa 🎅 will bring me one 😃
@@SecondOpinionGames1 yep it sounds like a phasing sound effect is used. Think of it as a feature not a bug 🙂
Man what happened to otogy that game should be on xbox game pass
The OG Xbox 😃🙏
How did games like gears of wars look so good when it was only 7gbs
Quite easily. Many modern games are badly optimised and bloated.
True 🤔
Modern games the sound takes up crap tons of space.
🎮🎮👍👍👍🕹️🕹️
i got stuck playing mini ninjas, just way too hard, and im being serious
Hard how. Well maybe you’re a first person shooter guy 🤔
@@SecondOpinionGames1 i cant play first person games, they give me motion sickness.there is a part where im fighting some giant looking bear thing and i cant kill him.
VANQUISH ROCKS
So fast 💨
Uh, regarding your console comparisons on Under Defeat, everything ran better on the 360 vs PS3
For the first 3 years of the console the 360 ran every game better. About half way through year 4 the ps3 started to get better. So maybe 15-20 games total run better on the ps3. Almost every game runs better on the 360.
No time for video games 😢
Very sad 😢
Is there a link to buy qubed??
I’m not really a salesman just a guy who loves games 😃
Pickles
That’s what you smell like.
Good video, but vanquish is not a hidden gem. It's well known
It depends on your age. Some of these young bucks don’t even know 😃
@@SecondOpinionGames1 it got a twin re-release with Bayonnetta on xbox one and ps4, so these young bucks might know 🙂
Crackdown 2 is such a gem, best part is the game and its dlcs are free AND it unlock a extra skin in perfect dark multiplayer
Most only played the first game 😃
Nah, there's a lot of great Star Trek games! Starting with the original arcade game. The JJ Trek game didn't do well because... well... it's JJ Trek!
I remember beating one on the snes. But it wasn’t fun.
elite force is awesome...
Xbox 360!
😃🐑🙏
my name is based on that console
Blur is amazing
One of my favorite racing games of all time especially with 4 player split screen
Active multiplayer too. Even on the 360 emulator.
‼️I got 50 cent for xbox 360 for Christmas‼️
Nice 🙏

I understand stand damnation. But I really liked playing through Star Trek. I don’t think even the reviewers played it long enough 🤔
@@SecondOpinionGames1 I did.

Damnation is pure trash. Not good or even close to any kind of gem. One of the worst 360 games flat out.
I have definitely played worse 😳
Almost had an epileptic crisis with the game 'VANQUISH" when i played it on a projector. Beware of this game. And i don't have epilepsy problem.
That is the sing of a good game 😃🙏
