10 Great Original XBOX Games That We Still Play In 2022 | XBOX Hidden Gems?!?! 

Thanks man! We spend lots of hours on these videos to make them look good! Cheers!

LAN Parties are so much fun! We kinda fell behind on doing them but we still to this day that do them! We always wonder if theres other ones going on besides ours! Cheers!

Original Xbox, although lacking the 3rd party support that Sony enjoyed, has dozens of fantastic games, from popular franchises to hidden gems and everything in between. More often than not if there was a game that was on both the Xbox AND the PS2, the best version was the one on Xbox. For its time it was a beast of a machine. I used to have a modded Xbox with a 300gb HD (which was HUGE at the time), and I had close to 100 Xbox games installed, as well as several emulators; NES, SNES, Genesis, MAME, etc. It was an awesome console for MAME, as it had 4 controller ports for games like TMNT, X-Men, the Simpsons and more! It also had enough RAM onboard to boot up some of the more modern arcade games such as the later Street Fighter iterations like Marvel vs. Capcom, Street Fighter 3, and other hardware-pushing games like the 2 D&D games (Shadow Over Mystara and Tower of Doom). I still love some of those early sandbox games like GTA 3: Vice City (by far my favorite in the series) and a game that was fantastic but kinda just fizzled out after the sequel was panned, Mercenaries. You could play as goddamn Han Solo AND Indiana Jones, for crying out loud! Although the Gamecube had the best Star Wars flight sim in Star Wars Rogue Squadron II, the Xbox did have a couple SW flight sims that were pretty fun. It also had another arcade flight sim that was outstanding, and I don't know why it never had a sequel...Crimson Skies. It's such a fun game, and the era in which it takes place and its overall aesthetic are just awesome. It doesn't have nearly the customization options that its PC counterpart enjoys, but it's still one of the best Xbox games that STILL a lot of people don't talk about when doing a "Top Meh" for the console.

Yes! The last Console Generation before patches and updates! Cheers!

Those are all great titles! We just havent played them this year! Cheers!

All Great games! The Library is so amazing on the Xbox! Cheers!

One of our all time favorite fps! Cheers!

LOL! Think alot of peoples grades suffered from this generation! Havent played much Rainbow Six 3! Will have to dabble! Cheers!

Rainbow six on the original Xbox stole my life back in the day. Bought thinking I’ll play this till halo 2 comes out. N I played it more even after halo 2 came out. The maps were iconic like garage , airport n I love warehouse as well. And probably not spell it right. But persido

@@dannyboswell7188 yes! Airport especially! Knew exactly where to go to grab some easy kills. Played it so much, was apart of a clan that used a third party website. Once the cheaters became overly abundant is when I finally had to say goodbye

@@theunfungamer7263 You remember those glitches everybody would do. The lean or slow walking. Whatever they called it lol. I remember in garage everybody would take turns at that long hall way and see who could lean walk glitch better. N people leaning thru walls lol. On warehouse if timed right you could lean thru a wall and blow the whole team up with grenades lol. It’s like we just accepted the glitch and played it like it designed on purpose

@@dannyboswell7188 haha yup!

Such an amazing series! Need a new one in the series! Cheers!

Thanks Action Jaxon! Yeah Gabbo is the best! Cheers!

Awesome man! Hope you enjoy it! Such a great console! Cheers!

Glad you are enjoying the series! Seems to be very popular among our viewers! Thanks for more recommendations! Cheers!

Really? We have heard of this happening to other people before also! Yeah such a great game cheers!

@@GamingOffTheGrid this is the first time but I got it for the live stream last night.

Yeah if our internet would stop being a B that would be nice!

Glad you enjoyed the cameo! Cheers brotha!

@@GamingOffTheGrid best dancer nipple toucher and tongue licker around hahahah I spit out my drink when I see you do all that

Awesome man! Sounds like great memories! Cheers!

200 games in 3 months! Holy Moly! Thats Awesome! Cheers!

@@GamingOffTheGrid yeah its been a crazy grind but the good thing is since OG xbox is so cheap i can take advantage of the Local Movie Trading Companies buy 4 games for 9.00 and get them for 30 and then the other retro shop near me has a buy one get one free so i was able to get a ton of commons and mid level games and then the high tier gems are still for the most part under 100 so i was able to get some of those. I think the only OG Xbox games i paid over 100 for were MVC2 and Otogi 2, but im a crazy fool so ill pay if i want it bad enough lol but for the most part ive been able to fill out my library failry affordably just from local shops. Anyway thanks for reading all that lol keep up the great work guys, i watch all your videos!

Yeah its such a great system and afforable to build a decent size collection! Cheers!

Wow! Thanks guys thats so awesome! Love all of yall! Cheers!

Such a hammer and one of our most played consoles in the gameroom! Cheers!

@@GamingOffTheGrid so gets lots of love, post more.

Yeah the soundtrack on that game is so great! Cheers!

Yeah we own a modded xbox! Yeah Fusion Frenzy is similar to them with a few different elements! Cheers!

Same!!!😃🍻🍺

I own a few of them, I got 4 of them connected via system link, the OG Xbox together with the Sega Dreamcast are my favorite two consoles. 🍻 cheers

Such a great console! Glad you enjoyed! Cheers!

Thanks man! We agree! We tend to get the cheapest version of any game! Tends to be Xbox in this generation! Cheers!

For sure man! Its a staple of the OG Xbox! Cheers!

Two legendary men in comedy! Cheers!

We love it also and agree! Such a great orchestrated game! Cheers!

Its such a great co op game! We cant believe we missed out on this game for so many years! Cheers!

Its arguably our favorite generation! Your own gaming stores thats pretty amazing! Cheers!

@@GamingOffTheGrid yeah, I got together with 3 friends and we opened our first store at the beginning of 2001. Prior to that I was at Walmart and helped run the electronics department. So I was there for the midnight launch of Dreamcast and PS2. I ran the launch of GameCube and Xbox at both our own store and Walmart as we all sorta had to keep day jobs that first year and take turns running the store. 😂 We eventually opened over a dozen stores across 5 states. We were big enough at one point to score our own unique preorser bonuses during the PS3 and 360 years. Then 2019 was really hard on us. It was tough to be a game store, just look at how many stores GameStop closed that year. It affected independent shops like us too. Forced us to downsize and before that plan could be seen through the pandemic hit. All of our stores were in high traffic, high rent locations next to Walmart, Target, Best Buy, etc. So when you can't open and still gotta pay rent, well... it about killed us. We now have 2 remaining stores (one in VA and one in SC). We aren't what we once were, but we're still open and I also used 2020 to create a record store next to one of them. It's been a fun wild ride these past 22 years though. Now I'm learning how to operate the store with a more mom and pop feel to them. Looking at channels like your own gives me ideas of displays to build and items to showcase. People like yourself are a source of inspiration for other ideas. You guys truly rock! Keep up the great work!

We like both those games! Cheers!

@@GamingOffTheGrid Excellent taste!

That is for sure man! Such a great library! Cheers!

I found PDO to be too difficult to finish. I tried watching let’s plays and reading walk through guides for tips, but I could not get past the first boss.

Glad you enjoyed the list man! Cheers!

Thank you for the kind words! Glad you enjoy the content! Cheers!

We like to call it Dreamcast 2! They have lots of similarities! We will have to try that game out! Cheers!

That would be really cool! A sequel would be amazing! Cheers!

Absolutely adore the game! Played it alot as a younger pup! Cheers!

We grew up Playstation guys! But we have really grown to love the Xbox! Cheers!

The Outlaw series is very fun! Yeah the backstory would be interesting! Cheers!

Never heard of RLH! Will have to check it out! Never played much of the Rollercoaster Tycoon series! I think id enjoy it! Cheers!

Yeah Halo 2 is not one of the first ten we think of! We play some many games on the Xbox! Cheers!

HELL YEAH! Yeah we play our OG Xbox alot in 2022! We had to have an honorable mention! Cheers!

I do remember the series! Will have to check this out! Cheers!

Such a great era of gaming! Glad you enjoyed it man! Cheers!

Yeah the Xbox market is far cheaper than its counterparts! Makes it so much more enjoyable to collect for! Cheers!

We will have to check out that game! Thanks for the recommendation! Cheers!

Anytime brothers!

We have it on the list :)

Yeah we have Ninja Gaiden on the PS2! We suck at Forza games and Dead and Alive is a great game! Cheers!

@@GamingOffTheGrid ninja gaiden did not launch on playstation until ps3 as ninja gaiden sigma.

Glad you enjoyed the content! You will enjoy the punisher! Cheers!

All amazing titles! We just havent played them yet this year! Cheers!

We will have to do that sometime! Cheers!

Once we do the Dreamcast we will be move on the other Generations! Yeah both amazing games! Cheers!

Its very enjoyable! One of our favorites also! Cheers!

Great choices! We both love the NES hard but also use our PS4s daily. Thanks for watching. Cheers 🍻!

Thanks! Some of the games in there the average gamer probably hasnt heard of! Cheers!

We have it for the PS2! Currently live streaming it on Sundays! Cheers!

Yes sir! One of our all time favorite games periods! We have trouble stop playing once we start! Cheers!

Such an amazing and easy console to collect for now! Yeah there was alot of games when i was younger that i had to recollect for that i wish i never sold! Cheers!

Something else about the og XBox is just how powerful it is. There are games on it that I think could be mistaken for early PS3 or 360 games such as Doom 3, Chronicles of Riddick, Project Gotham Racing 2, Far Cry: Instincts, Forza Motorsport, Dead or Alive 3, Ninja Gaidan, Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. I'm sure there are a few more.

Yeah Xbox is a powerhouse! We grew up getting Playstation consoles! So we are still learning about the Xbox! Very Impressive! Cheers!

@@GamingOffTheGrid I wish I would have had access too a PS2 at the time as well. I had a subscription to Game Informer magazine and remember seeing a bunch of PS2 games that looked amazing. I had a PS1 and absolutely loved it but didn't get another PlayStation until PS4, I guess you could kind of count the PSP and PS Vita though as I did own both of those. I actually play my Vita all the time, it is my favorite handheld of all time. I just recently came across this youtube channel and love the content you guys put out, Cheers!

Thanks man! Its not really a top 10 list its just 10 games we play in 2022 in a random order! JSRF needs a new game! Cheers Brotha!

Black was one of the last games that surprised me on the PS2. Sorry but i only had playstations in the time.

We grew up getting just Playstation Consoles so we were in the same boat! Cheers!

Yeah played all the gsmes but Grabbed by the Goonies! Will have to check it out! Cheers!

Great list the one we havent tried is Voodoo Vince! We will have to check that bad boy out! Cheers!

@@GamingOffTheGrid Give it a go, I definitely love it, it's about a Voodoo doll in New Orleans and he hurts himself to beat opponents.. Oddly enough one of the leads on it was Phil Spencer and every game he's been apart of I LOVE, he also worked on Fuzion Frenzy and Viva Pinata.. Definitely give it a shot when you get a chance it's a hidden gem for sure 💯..

Interesting! We will add it to the backlog!

Yeah our buddy Gabbo recommended it to us! We have loved it ever since! Cheers!

Such a fun game to pick up and play with a buddy! Cheers!

Thanks for the suggestions! Definitely need to try out all those games! Cheers!

We arent the best at Need for speed but its a fun game! Cheers!

@@GamingOffTheGrid Lol I never said I was good at it but the soundtrack is a banger

Yeah the racing games from that era soundtracks were 🔥!

These are just games we have played in 2022! Not a top ten list or favorite games! You have good games listed there just havent played any in 2022! Cheers!

@@GamingOffTheGrid yeah so many good games on the original xbox, some haven’t aged too well but most of them have held the test of time. I only related to a few of these games in your list but there were also a few I definitely need to check out when the budget is right 🤷‍♂️ if you guys haven’t already, you should do the nintendo 64 next

Hope you find the Punisher man! Great game! Cheers!

Thanks a ton dude! We’re always trying to keep things fresh and progressing. Appreciate your support and feedback. Cheers 🍻

Two games we will have to check out! Cheers brotha!

Yeah Im a big shirt guy and love the movie! Cheers!
