10 Hidden Gems For The Original Xbox

The original Xbox had an important part to play in the history of video games, introducing the world to the likes of Master Chief, Sam Fisher, and Ryu Hayabusa. Thanks to these highlights, Microsoft gained a foothold alongside already-established console giants, Nintendo and Sony, and set the groundwork for enormous successes yet to come but what about the unsung heroes? Forget Halo and Gears of War; today we're looking at 10 Hidden Gems For The Original Xbox

Gunvalkyrie is a game I think deserves to be a hidden gem. It has one of the most unique control schemes I can remember. It was a lot of fun and felt kinda like a Platinum Game.

I still think the Original XBOX game library is the brand’s best.

DeathRow is one I recently found and loved. Like if Quake 3 Arena made a Frizbee Golf spin off. Also the edgy futuristic character lore is fun to read through.

Advent rising always reminded me of "bloodrayne"... which is one of my favorite hidden gem from that era. From OG xbox, some lesser known gems: Tao Feng fist of the lotus, king fu chaos, bloodwake, and brute force...

The OG Xbox was a jem and a passion project and it shows. Alot of the games still hold up today and look good on HD TV's. With all of Microsoft's missteps recently, i think it really needs to dig in deep and find that passion that made Xbox great in the first-place.

The Xbox Doc that was released for the 20th anniversary should be required training at MS gaming and i strongly encourage any Xbox fans to give it a watch.

This was a throwback. So many good memories on the OG Xbox.

I had two games in mind starting this video, phantom crash and breakdown. Really glad to see me and my brother aren't the only ones who still think of them

[Einfach_Matze]

Some hidden gems even Metal Jesus couldn''t find...

[thMandalorian]

Absolutely love this series, hope you do a sequel of “10 more hidden gems....”

[KenpoJuJitsu]

WOW. I had Apex and played it a TON. With no exaggeration, this is the first time I've ever seen it mentioned in any video.

Breakdown's that infamous game with the impossible ending! Modern hardware makes the enemies move too fast and stun lock you with immersion. It's pretty funny tbh

I'm really looking forward to 10 Hidden Gems for the Atari Lynx.

[cruelwraithgames]

Man Phantom Dust was pretty awesome I used to play it all the time especially online

[megamasher]

Does Advent Rising count? Sure nobody remembers it now, but I remember when it came out it had a massive marketing campaign…which only made it more of a flop when it failed

[NagatoNaoeProduction]

The shop I used to work in had a copy of Xynanide. I considered trying it out because of the name, but then the price spiked to $80 during lockdown.

Breakdown seemed fun, I enjoyed the demo, but never played the full game.

Advent Rising is SO buggy on backcompat. Several crashes, game sped up or slowed down at random, heavy stutter... one time I even had a "your controller has been disconnected" right after a loading screen, and it wouldn't recognize any input. What a gem.

[jessehayes]

The greatest gaming console of all time

[bighammyrfc]

So glad Phantom Crash got the recognition. Over 100 hours on that back in the day.

[Samurai-nowu]

I'm still punching the air for not getting an advent rising sequel after that ending. It was defnitely ambitous for its hardware limitation

[blackmesacake]

Some amazing games on this list! Raize Hell was such a blast

[tronman]

Deathrow and phantom crash were probably my 2 favorite games on the original Xbox. Feel like reboots would do well these days.
