For clarification: I should have simply said that Gun was a Xbox 360 Launch title that re-released mere weeks after it was already on all major platforms, so no it's not exactly "exclusive" but that higher fidelity version on consoles is. Also, X-Men Origins Wolverine funny enough is on PS2, but "uncaged edition" is only on the more powerful platforms, it's almost a different game.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine is one of the only video game movie tie-ins that is almost objectively a better product than the film it’s promoting. Considering it was developed by Raven though, it shouldn’t come as a shock. That team is beyond underrated.

Games have gotten lazier. We never see destructible environments anymore

It's such a nostalgia trip to return to X-Men Origins today. It's absolutely incredible! I'd argue it's a top 5 superhero title in gaming, and the visuals/performance are highly impressive on PC.

Great list!!!

I'm glad you liked it 😊

I bought Stranglehold 10 years ago from Gamestop for about $9.99, and it's a lot of fun. I'm a fan of both John Woo and Chow Yun Fat, I've also seen Hard Boiled. He's basically an Asian Max Payne, and I would love to see a Stranglehold remake like how Max Payne 1 & 2 are getting a remake. I bought X-Men Origins Wolverine [CIB] for Xbox 360 almost 3 years ago from Facebook Marketplace in a 4 game bundle for $45 ($11.25 for each game)

The Killer is my favorite movie from those guys with Hard Boiled being a close second, I'm so glad I have premium blu-rays of them both 😀

Someone needs to update all those classics...and put them on Game Pass. They're better than a lot of the games we get today. Oh...and I think Brute Force could be included with those classics that aren't backwards compatable.

Oh yeah, Brute Force is an interesting game, not the greatest game ever but nostalgic 😀

I own all of these games on 360 but I hadn’t thought about Assault on Dark Athena since maybe 2012? I have to find a copy and revisit it. I remember having a blast with that game when it came out.

Is the Butcher Bay remaster on the same disc as Assault on Dark Athena?

Yes, it's just a single disc as you can see when I unbox it at the end of the segment.

Now that Microsoft owns Activision, what are the chances they can or will add both Gun and X-Men Origins Wolverine to the bc list on Xbox Series X?

I'd like to think so, but hard to say since they claimed they're officially done adding games to the BC program, I wouldn't count on it, but you never really know.

Heh you should see Xbox 360 backwards compatibility it's got 95% of games like Sonic Riders,Catwoman or Crash Original Xbox games for example.

Chronicles of Riddick EFBB is way better than Assault on Dark Athena. Those story elements, story building, pacing are all way worse. It's just way more generic run and gun game. I played the original EFBB through on OG Xbox (still have it of course) and then the re-release on Xbox 360 but that Assault on Dark Athena was just so far from EFBB that I never completed it.

@RetroMediaRoom

Ай бұрын

Yeah it's tough to beat EFBB, it's a classic, it blew my mind when it first came out on OG Xbox, the PS2 would have melted trying to run such a game 😄

The games would be "forward" compatible (older gen games playing on newer gen hardware), The newer Systems would be described as "backward" compatible (a newer gen system able to play older gen games)

Xbox literally calls it the Backwards Compatibility Program, that's generally what I'm referring to, which includes backwards compatibility of OG Xbox games through Xbox 360 games across Xbox One and Series X/S consoles. Forwards Compatibility generally refers to hardware compatibility such as how an Xbox Series X controller works on the Series X as well as any Xbox One consoles and vice versa. You'll virtually never see anyone refer to Xbox 360 games being compatible on Xbox One consoles and above as "forward compatible." The Wikipedia definition: "Forward compatibility or upward compatibility is a design characteristic that allows a system to accept input intended for a later version of itself." In conclusion, for a game to be considered forward compatible it would have needed to have been intentionally designed with future hardware compatibility built into it from the start going forward, rather than the newer hardware having to adjust to go backwards.

@@RetroMediaRoom Yes the newer Xbox systems are called backwards compatible to the games. When they are describing "backwards" compatibility, they are talking about the system to the game. A backwards compatible game would be a New Xbox Series X/S game that you can play on a 360. Think of it on a timeline. The SYSTEM can play the games behind it (Backward). The GAME can be played on the systems in front of it (Forward). Don't worry, everyone wrongly calls the games "Backward Compatible". So much so that it's become an accepted term.
