2-silent hill hd collection
a lot of the complainers were wrong this games bugs were fixed on X1 unlike the buggy crashy ps3 version. i deffinetly reccomend this great collection along with homecoming and downpour which are also back compat.

3-mars war logs
very unique rpg betumup kinda like total recall. prety short but different and leads into the technomancer on X1 which was part of game pass and games with gold.

4-metal gear solid peacewalker
very underated game in the series. the fact that it has coop really held it up for me. fun upgrading mother base.

5-fable3
i picked the lesser popular one. while the anniversary didnt have multiplayer, 2 only had splitscreen, 3 has full online coop. this fable mayhve been too diferent for many to like but is very unique in its approach.

7-tomb raider legend
the first reboot of Tomb raider i personally enjoyed more than the second 2013 revival. it had light humor which is missing a lot from the 3rd reboot which i still liked. and its back compat

One of the best multiplayer games on the system and one of my personal top 10 games on system. It was only a $1. I wish they would re-release it.

Looking over my collection, the 360 might have my favorite library. Its a toss up with the PS2. the 360 might have the best 2d japanese bullethell shmup lineup of any console - which is crazy. Heres some of my picks.

-Armored Core For Answer and Verdict Day -best mech games of all time.
-Cave shmups. Theres tons. Espgaluda II and DoDonPachi Ressurection are my tops.
-Virtual On 4 Force and Orotorio Tangram
-Bionic Commando 3d
-Bionic Commando Rearmed 1
-Tenchu Z
-Ace Combat 6
-timeless masterpiece
-Operation Flashpoint Dragon Rising - we need more milisims on console, this gen had next to none.
-EDF 2025 - came out late in the 360's life and was overlooked. content packed
-Poker Smash
-Bangai-O HD Missle Fury
- Treasure at their most insane, one of the most difficult games ever
-Dungeon & Dragons Shadows over Mystaria - Capcom's brilliant D&D beatem ups.
-Strania -modern shmup classic
-Radiant Silvergun - hopefully its not a hidden gem but this is still the greatest shmup of all time and still fetches $100-200+ on ebay for the saturn original. I think people forget its on 360 and XB1 BC.

Some great memories here :)

I think NeoGAF time isn't as kind as it should be to the 360 :pie_thinking:

After playing Neir Automata while back I've felt like digging out my 360 and trying to find a copy of the first Neir since it's not BC.

Any other non BC games?

We split screen finished all EDF games from newest to oldest last year, so we finished with 2017. OMG it runs so slow it's amazing. Kinda adds to the experience. Was a lot of fun
That sounds awesome, why stop with 2017 though? It runs like a dream on an xbx btw, I really love the xbox's bwc.

We did 5, 4.1, Insect Armageddon, Iron Rain and 2017.
2017 and Armageddon on 360. Rest on pc 4k 60 :D

Only hidden gems I see are Eternal Sonata and Mars War Logs. The rest are 90% AAA games that are far from hidden gems and talked about regularly

Probably the most underrated game of last gen. Maybe it was too ahead of its time. I played the hell out of this game. Microsoft is sitting on a gold mine with this game and with the right studio it could work today. Man I loved this game.

Is this game still online? Or better yet, do people still play?

There are surprises like Frontlines still being played, so it could be possible.
