7:09 ok i'm calling it. After many years of comparison and reflection, I thus pronounce this to be the signature piece of music for entirety of very late 90s/ early 2000s gaming
Listening to Korn during a boss fight was so hype back on the original xbox. Mechassault 1&2 was such a good game it makes me sad theres no more. Only mech game that gave me the same feeling was armored core.
I really enjoy these montages of particular genres. You do a terrific job putting it all together in a nice comprehensive package my friend! Your captured footage & editing is impressive, what capture device are you using? Considering these games are all played on a original Xbox the resolution is fantastic!
I agree about Area 51, it's a great sci fi military FPS. Hopibg it gets remastered for both current consoles and pc one day. I've pretty much had to return back to 6th/7th gen FPS games to play the kind of FPSs I like. Really didn't care for most new FPS games released during 2024. Played through the Aspyr remaster for Republic Commando and I liked it. Shame we didn't get a sequel. There's also: Pariah, Unreal 2, and Project Snowblind to play too. And for Xbox 360, would recommend Turok 2008. Halo meets Aliens but with dinosaurs. Cool. Unlike that generic 3rd person co op game that got recently announced...
I like how you cover games I own but have never played. As I say, it is easier to buy all the games than it is to play all the games. So, I guess I should give Mech Assault 2 Lone Wolf a go!
Never played MA games but those cutscene are impressive like you said! Glad to see Destroy All Humans mentioned. That and Stubbs the Zombie are outstanding games that are based on sleazy sci-fi/horror films. Only the story and humour is seedy! The gameplay in both is of the highest quality
A lot of great games on here. I remember Gun Valkyrie being one of those games that tried utilizing the second thumbstick on the Xbox controller in interesting but difficult at the time ways lol. It was still fun though, I still have my OG copy. My son LOVED the Mech Assault games when he was little and played them all of the time. I want to say I've played a little bit of the other 3 games at one point or another, but I've always wanted to play more of Republic Commando. I actually have the PC version of Republic Commando on a physical disc that I bought way back in the day lol.
Oh wow that's cool to own the PC version, it's well worth revisiting. I agree though that Gun Valkyrie was trying hard to utilize the whole controller and it comes off a bit odd, but it's fun because of it.
FASA Studio shutdown after they did Shadowrun the game released after MA2. Day 1 Studio was supposed to develop MechAssault III for Xbox 360 but it got scrapped.
This channel is the best for OG Xbox game reviews! It’s great to see Gun Valkyrie get some recognition. It is a sleeper gem for sure.
I'm glad you enjoy the channel! Thank you for watching!
Pandemic studios will be in my heart forever. Battlefront, mercenaries, destroy all humans and Republic commando were all part of my childhood
I’ve bought so many games based on this channel’s reviews. I love it!
Thank you for watching! I'm glad you find the reviews helpful!
Only THE best Xbox channel ever!! Thanks from us all! Keep it up 💪
Thank you for supporting!
Oh man that Eternal Duelist Soul ost in the background! Another great Xbox video Camp!
Thank you! I always try to pump some great music into these videos haha
Excellent episode!

yay! Destroy all humans was mentioned. my favorite franchise as a kid. before call of duty and Halo came into the picture.
Good video. I think I'll check out Area 51. Thanks for that!
Thank you for watching!
Love these types of videos. Pick a genre and recommend a handful of games. Completely watchable even if I know / have all the games.
I'm glad you find them enjoyable!
Finally a video on mech assault lone wolf! Now a video on Battle Engine Aquila
Aw man I loved MechAssault 1 + 2, Area 51 and Star Wars Republic Commando on the original Xbox such good memories of 19 years ago back in 2005.
All good games another great day at Camp Xbox
Star Wars Republic Commando is one of my favorite first person shooters😊

Glad you like them! I use an Electron X Out and that gets fed through my El Gato capture card.
@campxbox Thanks, it looks excellent.
I absolutely love destroy all humans such an underrated sci fi game very glad they remade it

If you dont like new fps,did you enjoy thw new woldfenstein games or the doom games? I feel like those ones were excellent as a old school fps guy.
@xXCigarXx, Did like Wolfenstein The New Order and The Old Blood. Didn't care for New Colossus and especially Youngblood.
@Gruntvc Yeah young blood sucked. I still enjoyed new colossus,what about that one made you dislike it? Old blood was my favorite of the batch.
I like how you cover games I own but have never played. As I say, it is easier to buy all the games than it is to play all the games. So, I guess I should give Mech Assault 2 Lone Wolf a go!

I love games that fit into the niche so much!
Would love to see a Sega on Original Xbox video
Bro is reading my mind, I was looking for this
Gunvalkryie is hard but it is good once you get a grip on the controls.
Loved Mech Assault 2 Lone Wolf. Wish I still had my copy of it lol

The only one of those games I can recall playing is Destroy All Humans! which is still in my top 10 original Xbox games!
A category you could cover eventually is crime/drama
Mafia, True Crime: nyc, Gta etc.
That's a great idea!
Great video
Thanks!

You forgot brute force, and unreal championship 2.
All great games. Star Wars was peak this era but mech assault is heavily slepted on. I enjoy it more than mech warrior.
I still can't believe we haven't had a MechAssault 3. I can't remember how well MA2 performed at the time, but I recall it having good reviews
I really wish we could get the original two games for Gamepass. Both were good for their time.
GunValkyrie is really cool. Glad Sega chose Smilebit for this one?
Smilebit put out some great stuff!
You gave me an idea, and so I'll give it away. First one to do AR laser tag is a billionaire.
You need to cover jet set radio future. In my opinion the best Xbox game hands down.
I played area 52 while recovering from eye surgery... I think the game was too muddy and dark and was bad for my health!
Area 52? Never knew there was a sequel 😝
I wonder why there was never MechAssault 3 🤔
FASA Studio shutdown after they did Shadowrun the game released after MA2. Day 1 Studio was supposed to develop MechAssault III for Xbox 360 but it got scrapped.
Hunter the reckoning not quite Sci fi but kinda

Omitting 'the Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay' invalidates anything you have to say about the topic.
