Impressions On 3 Random Xbox Games
Bulkmailer \| 3:56 PM on 08.17.2009	20 comments

I broke out the old Xbox, played some games.

Xyanide

a)It's a 3D schmup like R-type Final.
b)You can shoot with the right thumbstick like Geometry Wars.
c)Shit's hard.

Otogi: Myth Of Demons

a)Best menu screen ever.
b)Double jump? Double jump.
c)I hate double jumping.
d)Camera kind of sucks, but you get used to it.
e)Pretty solid action game despite this shit.

Breakdown

a)Oh shit, first person backflips are awesome.
b)AI partner is retarded, needs to be more like Alyx Vance.
c)The soda machines for health are cool.
d)This game rocks.

Bulkfailure, out.

Otogi was awesome, but Breakdown sucked hard imo. Never played Xyanide

Best part about Breakdown? It takes like, three button presses to drink a soda. Often I would stall in the middle, as though my character was contemplating the soda.

Also, I never got that far into it, but I hear it gets pretty balls awesome about halfway through.

The AI should have been more like Sheva.

Oh wait...

I love breakdown, it's too bad i bought that game day one and it went down to 20$ a few weeks later.

Bulkmailer

Haha, these comments already contain more content than my blog. Thanks for checking it out guys!

ProperlyParanoid

Nver played Otogi... Why is the menu that good? Got me curious!

Chris Carter

Otogi! <3

I need to play Breakdown somehow.

ryu89

I liked your old avatar better.

Oh right, blog post. Um... I don't know any of these games, they all seem to have flown under my radar. Breakdown especially seems cool.

Deathofthedead

All 3 of these games are in my collection.

Xyanide is overly flashy and really hard, but good.

Otogi is one of the best 3D action games of the last generation.

Breakdown is a game of great ideas and mediocre implementations. The things it tried to do have since been done better elsewhere - Mirror's Edge, Zeno Clash, Riddick, etc - but it's still a pretty good game and well worth playing.

I'm going to thank you for this. I was never very familiar with original Xbox games, since I almost always stuck to Sony and Nintendo last generation. I'd like to get a 360 sometime soon, so could you tell me if these are compatible? Btw, I'm loving the red hue's these covers have.

BileSoup

I'm so happy somebody is giving a shoutout to Otogi! Alonside Panzer Dragoon Orta it is easilly one of my favourite xbox games. Breakot is pretty awesome too, if only because it plays unlike any other fps out there. Unfortunately I still haven't finished it because I got a little bored... I will definely keep an eyout for Xyanide. Wurd!

Bulkmailer

@Loogibot

Unfortunately I don't think any of these are backwards compatible.

Loogibot

Oh well, thanks anyways.

SuitcoatAvenger

Breakdown is backwards compatible.

Arttemis

@Bulkmailer - Yeah, it fucking sucks that Otogi (the only one I'm familiar with from this list) or its sequel aren't backwards compatible with the 360.

Lemon ALT

Breakdown is classicish in a middle sort of way, kinda.

Dan CiTi

Breakdown is Mirror's Edge with Hadoukens.

Creepy avatar ftw!
