Help with alt/retro games on the xbox 360?

Post by 4ppleseed »

Hi all,
So my friend is going to give me his old X360 and I'm really not much of a fan of that generation of games. So far the only things I want to play are Castle Crashers, Pac-Man Championship Edition and Scott Pilgrim (when it comes out) - based on those 3 and an obvious taste for something a little different or retro, can you recommend anything else interesting on the X360?

Many thanks :mrgreen:

They're coming out with a sequel to pacman championship edition. I think it includes everything from the original plus more.

Other games out/coming out:

Sonic 4
Rocket Knight
Limbo
Alien Hominid
The first Ninja Turtles Arcade game
Sega Genesis collection
A remake of hydro thunder
Castlevania: harmony of dispair

I don't know anything about Xbox 360, but the Xbox Live Arcade has quite a few retro remakes from what I hear.

The Sega Genesis collection is nice.


Edit: Didn't see that Jrecee listed that already.

Another route and save money. PS2 Retro collections as well as huge huge variety of games are ridiculously cheap used at Gamestop. Same quality graphics when dealing with older Retro games. Even a used PS2 itself is a good investment. Multiply say 50 games vs 10 games on 360, wild guess which one costs more. Save your money towards the 360 games for its own exclusives.
