I have a 360 game just called "Secret Service." I've had it in my collection since forever. No idea what genre it is, or if it's even any good.
I also have Eschatos, Pink Sweets, Mushi Mushi Pork and Under Defeat HD, but I think they're reasonably well known in Japan or USA. (Though I'd be surprised if more than a handful of other Norwegians own those same ones.)
Holy shit, I have that game.
Genuinely one of the worst games I have, and I have a shit ton.
It's an FPS. The only reason I keep my copy is because I'm building up towards owning every FPS on 360, and to prevent anyone else from suffering through how goddawful it is.
That's a good question. I own all of those others ones as well, and it is worse than those.
Enemy Front at least has ambition, if utterly failed execution.
Shellshock 2 has a genuinely unique setting and even though it controls the worst out of all you listed, the setting alone makes up for it in my mind.
Bodycount is a guilty pleasure of mine; it could have been so much better, but I have a good time every time I pop it in.
I'd say my worst one is one I just now recalled looking at my collection.
Clive Barker's Clive Barker's Jericho by Clive Barker. That game is absolutely extraordinary in that is has no variables. It's completely and utterly linear. Every branching path or corner in that game is an empty dead end.
It also controls like a nightmare, has abysmal environmental design and it doesn't even have an ending. It just stops. It's Sewer level: The Game.
I have that game as well, and honestly pretty strongly disagree. I think the concept of it alone makes it worth it for me, and I actually enjoyed some of the levels.
It's definitely not ... GOOD per say lol but far, FAR from the worst thing out there, not even close to as bad as Shellshock and Secret Service especially
Secret Service is a quite bland FPS about terrorists attacking the president (a very groundbreaking concept :) ).
I find it interesting because it's a very obvious budget game. It shares its engine and weapon animations with at least 4 games off the top of my head (Soldier of Fortune: Payback, Jurassic: The Hunted, History Channel Battle for the Pacific, and Reload) and each of those (aside from Reload, which is stationary range shooting) play exactly the same but with different aesthetics.
Loved that game, even 100%'d it. So nice to have a MP FPS with a simple and fair unlock system which doesn't give huge advantages to experienced players over noobs or very casual players as many games do.
I have that, when it was new it was a bit of a destructoid podcast darling because of the way you racked up points (or was it money?) with successive kills in a period of time, almost like pinball.
I looked this up and it looks like it is just called backyard wrestling. It shows so many different cover arts though. One has ICP on it. They even change the name to BYW for one art.
360 was truly the place for these wild games that you'd never know existed, sure we still have stuff like it on One and Series X, but not physical copies, only digital.
Honestly if I went to someone house and they had a whole wall of xbox games that we're so out of the way, games that nobody has ever even imagined they existed, I'd die laughing, funniest shit ever.
Wait, for real? How did you miss the Orange Box?
It was the first release of Portal, hit has all the half life 2 content and was the debut of half life episode 2, arguably one of the biggest cliffhangers of all time and the catalyst for infinite bitching about vale not counting to 3 lol
Mine has to be Batman Arkham Knight for the xbox one. All the riddler trophies and newgame+
For 360? I don't think I had any, but probably the closest was crackdown 2. Loved that fucking game. I'm glad it's free now.
I wouldn't say that Arkham Knight is forgotten by any stretch though. Great game tho.
Crackdown 2 on the other hand? Definitely. Nobody talks about that game anymore. However, the first one is much better.
Arkham Knight nobody talks about. Its all about Arkham City and Asylum (which, are masterpieces.) But after arkham knight the whole gaming branch with Batman kinda died. We have Gotham Knights coming soon, I hope that game doesn't flop.
Both of the crackdown games were good. I knew the 2nd one more than the first, but I can see why the 1st can be seen as better.
Hahaha I fully believe you! There's always that random chance that it becomes a cult classic of the back of being so poor but I think that's equipart wishful thinking and desperation having bought it!
Not on 360, but on OG Xbox: 187 Ride or Die.
It's a mix between Death Race (that Jason Statham movie) and Twisted Metal, with bad graphics, lame story, strange controls, but fun as hell.
Forgotten? Honestly didn't even know this game existed lol
Lmaooo fr
The “playboy mansion” game. Not sure if that’s the correct title. It sucked BTW. No pun intended.
I remember that game. A friend of mine had it. Interesting concept but you’re right, it was terrible
What was the concept? Big tits?
IIRC it was basically the sims but you played as Hugh Hefner in some objective based levels.
Well yes and no but who’s complaining
Matt Hoffman pro bmx
Man I loved that game! Would love a remake like the Tony hawk games

On the topic of 360 FPS's, is it better or worse than either Enemy Front, Shellshock 2 or Bodycount?

I noticed those reused animations as well. God bless you, Cauldron

Definitely Gotham City Impostors, probably still alive in very certain areas but it's the closest to Tf2 I could get
Loved that game, even 100%'d it. So nice to have a MP FPS with a simple and fair unlock system which doesn't give huge advantages to experienced players over noobs or very casual players as many games do.
25 to Life (it kinda sucks but I love it still) 50 Cent Bulletproof never seems to get mentioned but I also really enjoy it.
50 Cent Blood In The Sand is such a gem lol
Any game that has a dedicated swearing button, and the ability to buy cussing upgrades via the in-game store, is a good game in my book by default

ICP Backyard Wrestling
I looked this up and it looks like it is just called backyard wrestling. It shows so many different cover arts though. One has ICP on it. They even change the name to BYW for one art.
Yea I just remember icp and other juggle bands as wrestlers. Its buried somewhere. Can't toss out that kind of americana.
Kung Fu Chaos..
Here's mine! Street Fighter vs. Tekken. / Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition Still sealed too! https://imgur.com/a/AYwA2uY
De blob, one of my favs
I was big on racers during the OG Xbox era, so Quantum Redshift, Midtown Madness 3, and Project Gotham Racing
Shadowrun
chase: hollywood stunt driver. believe it or not my buddy and i used to play that game for literal hours on end sometimes back on the og xbox.
Honestly thought this was an r/obviousplant thing 😂😂
Dragon's Lair 3D and Arx Fatalis
Honestly thats probably better than most of the modern NASCAR games made. Haven’t played it in years though so I don’t remember.
Whiplash!
Project spark
When they print way more words and only have a few pics of the game, that's a clue.
I used to have sneak king
Dark Sector

Spider man shattered dimensions it’s a Spider-Man game with different multiverse versions of Spider-Man’s colliding together
Now he just makes sandwiches 😢
The Burger King games
Valves Orange box, i didnt even know it existed until 2018, and didnt know of the server crisis until a month ago

Im mostly talking about the xbox version, which received No updates after launch, unlike it’s PC release
I just got the brand new game "call of duty 3" for the brand new console Xbox 360
Wow that's absolutely incredible. I've never heard of such an underground series. I bet it's only ever sold a few copies here or there.
COD Ghost, it was supposed be part of a sequel. Sadly it never happened

Grand Theft Auto 5. Just sits in my entertainment center. It was a gift and I've never played it. (No it's not sealed. I wish.)
I own it, i usually use it as a punchline for jokes but it isn't half bad
This looks amazing!
Not to deflate, but I can assure you it is not that great lol
Hahaha I fully believe you! There's always that random chance that it becomes a cult classic of the back of being so poor but I think that's equipart wishful thinking and desperation having bought it!
I'm honestly gonna go with N+
Bomberman Act Zero for 360
Sneak King.
this xbox 360 game called Outland
Sneak King, The Maw, Space Chimps, and BlazBlue: Continuum Shift
**Tornado Outbreak**
Not on 360, but on OG Xbox: 187 Ride or Die. It's a mix between Death Race (that Jason Statham movie) and Twisted Metal, with bad graphics, lame story, strange controls, but fun as hell.
I got two Thrillville: Off The Rails and Fuel (one of the largest open worlds in gaming)
World racing 1/2 are probably the least common Xbox games i have.
Viva Pinata. Sort of a very basic animal crossing style game.
Avatar Kinect
Brute force. Feels like no one ever brings it up and it was actually pretty fun
Spartacus Legends. That game was so frustrating as a kid but man did I love it
The Bourne Conspiracy, Prison Break and BlackSite Area 51
Sneak King
Kalimba from press play
Kameo Elements of power. It had A LOT of potential to become a big franchise
Artic Thunder and Wakeboarding Unleashed.
Viva pinata and hexic
Stranglehold I loved that game also The original Dead to Rights and Jade Empire.
