Definitely not enough people got into the Time Splitters series.

I can't think of anything really exclusive the Xbox (one) had.

A lot of sega games came out soon after the xbox

Shenmue 2 (For those of us who cant afford the DC version)
Gunvalkyrie (took me a while to find this, but its great)
Jet Set Radio Future (AMAZING. I just recently beat it and its in my top ten of best games)
Panzer Dragoon Orta (still looking for it myself,but ive heard some good things)

etc.

To me these are hidden gems because i dont get to many people giving them the respect they deserve, and panzer dragoon and gunvalkyrie are pretty hard to find. theyre also exclusive the the xbox 1.

Gunvalkyrie would probably be a hidden gem, but the others are pretty well-known, especially JSRF which for a long time was included with the system

Yeah, i was just pointing out all the sega games that were released after the dreamcast died.

i guess JSRF wasnt a hiddent jem, but just a abrgain because you can get it everywhere for a few dollars. anyone who owns an xbox and does not own this game should be ashamed.

oh yeah and i just wanted ot point out that for a few dollars more you should try to find JSRF as a stand-alone game, NOT bumdled with sega GT because only the original game (wich is a bit harder to find) works on the XBOX 360. pretty dumb in my opinion

Man it seems to be much more expensive than the combo pack on Ebay.

It's probably the racketboy effect-- as soon as a game is mentioned here the price goes up by $10. Of course that's not true, but it sure feels that way sometimes

Any others?
I'm hoping for the XBox to be my next published Hidden Gems article....

I got a big kick out of Grabbed by the Ghoulies. Its hard for me to gauge its popularity -- so hidden or not, its still a gem.

I would second Otogi. Supposedly it was one of the worst selling games on Xbox but I really enjoyed it. It had a unique style to it. If anyone has the soundtrack I've love to get it from them.

I've got a copy of Otogi 2 but my Xbox DVD drive is broken at the moment so I can't tell you if it's any good.

STEEL BATTALION.

i was fortunate enough to own this once, and it was amazing. truly remarkable game.
