Oh man! I spent so much time playing this on Xbl.
haha found this old video when I clicked the reveal link with the ROCK. It's pretty funny.

Every time it's brought up I feel terrible about losing/allowing to lapse my original XBL beta gamer tag 
I remember printing my own Halo t-shirt using iron-on t-shirt transfer printer paper (pre-Bungie merchandise era). This was the summer leading up to Xbox launch. Wish I had a picture or something.

Awesome.
Do you think Peter Moore makes his return to drop a third bomb?
Battlefield 4 timed exclusive? Not just DLC.
The 'Jump In' slogan really got to me, my dad bought a 360 through work on day one and gave it to me for Christmas. The insane part was that he couldn't get any of the games I wanted because they were sold out everywhere he looked but he at least managed to get a console(weird, right?). It came with a pre-installed copy of Hexic HD which I've had some fun with but the first time I loaded up my very first 360 game, Perfect Dark Zero, I was blown away by how nice everything looked.
Nice OP, good job!

It actually seems like MS gave a damn from 2001 - 2009.

Haha... people still salty about Kinect.
Oh hell yes, how could I forget? That was a gem and a half.

Fuck you, Steve-O, and your game starting on-side kicks.
Nice try.
It's a shame we'll never get to see the sequels. This could have been an amazing trilogy of games.
Don't get me started on how awesome that game was.

Don't forget the spooky voices in the background of the Xbox dashboard

What was wrong with the sequel? I remember it being pretty good
But thanks for posting this, completely forgot this game existed

You're choosing to forget the fact that once Kinect came out every single game required its usage.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Wow, nice thread.
Original Xbox was way more interesting than the 360. Didn't have as many games, but the ones it did have were... well, more interesting.

I nostalgia'd OP. Thanksssssss.
What a decade + for gaming. I can't believe the 360 runs these games on those hardware specs. It's like magic in there or something. This thread gets all my Allards.

I actually owned an Xbox and liked a few games on it. But wasn't as crazy about Halo as others. I do have one gaming memory of Xbox though. Project Gotham Racing was the first console game I played online. It was a sad experience though, because everyone kicked my ass. And that Mech game was pretty fun.
Looking through these screenshots the visual jump from Xbox to 360 is smaller than I thought.

I have two US discs of this for some reason. Oh wait, because it's awesome.

People hated Azurik: Rise of Perathia but I loved it and Jet Set Radio Future is on of the best games ever. Period.

Excellent multi-player experience. Was the first online golf game I can remember that had everyone hitting at the same exact time.

I remember everything about the day I bought Panzer Dragoon Orta. One of the best games of that generation.

I miss GunValkyrie and I'm sure I'm not the only one, but I know I'm in the minority.
If the 360 could play it, I wouldn't miss it so hard, but the lack of support entirely is heart wrenching. The Xbox had a lot of great games on it though, something I never thought going into it. In many ways it was a lot like the Dreamcast to me, playing second fiddle to Playstation but with a lot of games that I just found to be genuinely fun.
Phantom Dust would be a great game to continue to play now too.
