Yo, what's up?
Welcome to the Kind of Funny Gamescast for Tuesday,
January 20th, 2020, 26.
I'm one of your host's Blessing, Adioia Jr.
joining me is the Master of Hype.
Snowmike Mike.
My main man blessed, thank you for bringing me on today.
This is a special games cast.
This is a really fun one.
It's a little flip-flop because we're going to do something different.
And I was on that one already.
Yeah, we're going to do the Dark Souls review.
And listen, get mad at me.
I'm the one that came in and changed this.
I was excited to talk about Dark Souls.
Honestly, it's been like a week and a half since I played Dark Souls.
So I've already kind of like...
See, now you get it.
Yeah.
I tell Andy this all the time.
It's like, you can catch me...
I'm not fresh off it anymore.
A day or two days after.
A week later, I've already told the stories.
I've already forgotten the stories.
Yeah, exactly.
But the bigger thing here is that IGN has started to release their top 100 Xbox
games.
They put up the first part of it, which is their 100 through
75 games listed.
And me and you, I mean, here's the thing.
Me and Tim are the list bros.
Me and you, though, we've had a couple
of good lists. We've had a couple of classics.
We've had a couple of good lists.
Me and you did the top 100 PlayStation games.
And that, for me, that's a bona fide.
For me, that's a bona fide classic.
Yeah.
And so I thought it would be a really good pivot
for us to talk about this, especially because we are
leading into the Xbox developer underscore direct,
where we're going to learn all about this year of Xbox from the team at Xbox.
Perfect layup from you.
Yes.
I saw that.
Slack channel. I was like, blessing's
thinking ahead right now. Yeah, and so, hey, we got
Xbox vibes this week. You know, this week we're
talking about the green team. Is that what you call
it? The green team team? Is that what you mean? Team green? Team green.
Team green. I like that. Team green.
And so we're going to get all into it. We're going to
predict what else is going to be on the list. And we're
going to talk about what's in their top
100 through 75. But before we get in there
remember, if you're watching live, you can be a
part of the show by super chatting over
on YouTube.com slash kind of funny games.
Superchat in with what should be on
the list and your arguments for maybe even
top 10. We don't have the top 10, but write in with your arguments. What's in there? What should be
above the other thing? What are some low-key hits that should be on the list? Let me know in the
super chats. Remember, we couldn't do this without the support of our producers over on patreon.com
slash kind of funny. So thank you to Carl Jacobs, Omega Buster, and Delaney, the Slam, Twining. For now,
let's begin with topic of the show. Touch, touch, tops, tops, tops, dot, dot, stop, stop, top. Topic of the show
is a shit list. That's where I go online.
I find a top 10 list.
I bring it back to Mike,
and we judge it for your amusement.
Like I said,
we're reacting to IGN's top 100 games,
except they only have the first part of it.
And so we're going to do a lot of discussion
and predicting around what's going to be on that list this episode.
But to start off, Mike,
when I say top 100 Xbox games,
one of the first games that come to mind for you?
Halo, gears,
Forza,
fable,
Minecraft.
See, now we start to play a game here.
Yeah, what's an Xbox?
Are we talking about OG Xbox?
We're talking about Xbox, the generations, right?
Because Mass Effect One will probably be on this.
Which one?
Mass Effect One was an OG exclusive for a time period.
So like a lot of Xbox gamers hold that kind of near and dear to their heart.
So like, will that be on this?
Did one even, did Mass Effect one ever come out on PlayStation aside from Legendary Edition?
Let me know, chat.
Was that on PS3?
I don't remember if that came.
I remember booting up Mass Effect 2 on PS3.
Will there be Xbox 360 arcade games, right?
Oh, there's got to be.
People are saying yes.
It did come to PS3.
Cotor, yep, Cotor's a great pull from the chat right there.
So there's like a fun line that my mind goes to.
It's like, I started with OG Xbox.
Yeah.
I was like, all right, let's get down to the original box.
Let's talk about that, Mike.
And then my mind started a wander of like, well, now we're going to go down the list.
Go down.
Here's what I want you to do.
let it all out.
Give me all the...
Well, bless, I brought some props.
I brought some props for you.
Wow, okay.
I brought some propped for you.
I brought some plops because I thought it'd be fun.
I sent two things to assets for Kevin
because when I think of my OG Xbox,
there's some games that I hold near and dear to my heart.
And there's some moments similar to you
with your PlayStation or Nintendo,
everyone listening out there.
And I actually want to start off with two controllers
that I sent to Kevin in assets.
Mad Cats.
Now many of you know, Mad Cats was
that off-brand that your mom or dad bought because they were cheaper than the actual,
you know,
official controllers.
And I hold these ones near and dear to my hearts because I had two.
This mini green Duke that Kevin showed the first one of,
this thing was my everything.
It took the Duke controller and made it small and miniaturized.
And it felt good in my hands.
It had like these rubberized grips on the side,
a wicked see-through jungle green like my N-16.
and it was just so sick looking.
Dude.
So my memories of the original Xbox,
of course,
I never owned the original Xbox as a kid.
However,
my next door neighbor,
Freddie did.
I was at Freddy's place
all the time playing Xbox games
and my youth group at church
had an original Xbox.
In fact,
I think they had a couple of original Xboxes.
And Kevin,
you can bring that controller back up.
That controller,
they had at my church
because of course,
they weren't going to spend the money
to buy an actual Xbox controller.
No, they were buying that Madcats one.
So when I tell you,
that green luminesse controller on the left,
I am a fucking beast at NBA Street,
volume two with that specific controller.
You don't want to see me on NBA Street volume two
with that controller in my hand.
And then I bring up that see-through orange one
because that was my first ever wireless controller
with the Xbox.
I don't know.
I think they had wireless controllers at that point.
Mom and Dad definitely weren't buying
the official Xbox wireless controllers.
If they did, we were buying these Mad Cat ones.
I don't know if Xbox had wireless
controllers. When I think back, I'm like, I remember a wireless remote that had that little plug-in
that was like a TV changer, but I don't remember an official Xbox one. I remember they had long
they had the ropes on them. They were small. They were mini. I don't remember the one,
but I remember my Mad Cats one. I'll always remember the Mad Cats one. So I gave you those
controllers just to bring you back to a time frame. And you brought up some great games. You brought
up NBA Street. And now when you stay, Mike rattles him off at me, Guitar Hero.
Guitar Hero will be on this list.
That's an Xbox game for you.
Man, Fantasy Star Online was an Xbox game to me.
Me and AJ played that a lot.
Links, the OG golf game.
Oh.
That's a special one right there.
Project Gotham Racing, that's a special one.
Can I throw a couple at you?
I want some.
Jet Set Radio Future.
That was one that me and Freddie played through,
and I was obsessed with that game.
I played that before I ever even got around
to the original JetSaid game,
but love that one.
I don't know if that ends up on the top 100,
but I love that game.
Mech Salt.
Can you tell me about, tell me the tales of Mechazol?
You know what, bless? I never played Mechastole.
You never play, okay. I can probably, I'd get close if we did a fun
game showdown. I could probably get close to drawing it, but I couldn't tell you about Mechastalt.
I don't think I played that. I want to say, I, Mechazold, I think I know because I was watching G4 as a kid,
and they brought up Mechast. And I was like, that looks like the coolest game of all times.
But I had a PlayStation so I could ever play. I had a cousin that lived down the street that I think had Mechazol.
Now I only played it once. And I didn't, not even for that long. I probably played it for like five minutes one time.
And I was like, this is the fucking coolest shit ever.
I love that everybody has those games.
We're like, you played it for a little bit at somebody's house and you'll never forget it.
Now, Kevin brings up, people had this custom controller for Mech Salt.
What was the other game?
Steel Battalion.
Was that an Xbox show?
I believe that's a Steel Battalion controller.
I don't know what Steel Battalion was on.
I never played that either.
That definitely was not my move there.
You know, it's funny, you bring that up?
Sonic with the Chow Gardens.
Yeah.
that I played at Victor's House
on the GameCube
and I'll never forget that
it was like my one and only Sonic experience
and I thought it was the fucking greatest
that's the best one to go to a friend's house
and I never played Sonic again
that's the thing that I
miss about having friends no I miss about
growing up and like not having the access
to buy multiple consoles or whatever
is that like you just had what you had
and so I had an SD4 and then I had a PS2
and so it would be I'd have to go to Addison's house
because he had a PS2 before I had a PS2
so I was experiencing these games or whatever.
Or he had a Super Nintendo when I had an NCT4.
And so he's the reason why I learned about Street Fighter or all these things.
And yeah, Freddie, it's like, damn, all right, I played so many Xbox games only through Freddie.
Yeah.
I would go over to his place.
I think he had Links.
I think he had Links to Timesweeper.
Blinks to Timesweeper.
I remember when he busted that out.
I don't think Blinks will be on this list.
Not a top 100?
I'm going to confidently say, I don't think Blinks is making this list here.
Now, show me what games you have here.
Now, I did bring some props, of course.
You know, I love to keep all my old games that I can,
but I bought some new ones for me and Nick to play.
Just some fun ones.
This is 50 cent bulletproof and 50 cent blood in the sand.
Now, do I think this is a top 100 game?
No.
No.
But in my heart, is it a top 100 game?
Yes.
Hell yeah.
Like, I had to bring these because I do think maybe we'll get some fun love with that.
Now we get into games that I think for sure will be on this list.
we talk about NCAA football and NCAA basketball.
I have a good feeling that there will be an NCAA college football on this list.
I love that for you.
I don't think you can think about the Xbox 360 and probably not think about NCAA football 2014.
This was the last entry in.
This is where we did go the decade plus without being able to play a college football title.
I just think that you think of back in the day, an NFL fever with Peyton Manning on the front,
a Madden with Mike Vic on the front,
a college football with your favorite college athlete,
probably Dinard Robinson on that one.
Like,
I just don't think you think of video game consoles
and not put a sports title on there, right?
Oh, for sure.
Now, like, you and I might go NBA Street, NFL Street,
FIFA Street.
I might go Sega Soccer Slam,
which is an underrepresented great soccer games.
I was going to say, oh, NFL 2K-5.
2K?K.
Isn't that?
Was that an Xbox one?
I thought that was, you know what?
Yeah, I think that was back with NFL fever back then.
Because, like, I don't know if people have association with it.
My mind goes to Sega Dreamcast, right?
I think of the two-kays.
Oh, that's a good way.
I think Almond I'm in with that.
That's a good point.
Randy Moss, I think, was on the one you're thinking of.
Yeah.
Or maybe it was Terrell Owens, but yeah, that one.
Now, another fun one, I brought a connect game.
Do I think that NBA baller beats with Deeran Williams on the front will be on this?
No.
But the question is, the fun question, bad here.
Can I see that?
Yeah.
Do you think?
think that a connect game will be on this list.
What is the best connect game ever made?
I don't know.
It's crazy that this is a connect game because this box art says like Xbox OG era.
Like even like the type face they use to like list the soundtrack, it looks like NBA
Street.
You know, they got like the degraded font that gives it like kind of the street style.
That is just dance or dance dance revolution with a basketball.
No.
So they sold this game with an actual basketball and the idea would be,
If you look on the back or if you showed a trailer,
it would be just dance like you play on your switch with the movements,
but you would be doing it with the basketball.
So you would do crossovers behind the backs,
and you would try to score while essentially dancing.
I know Andy Cortez love that game.
I know Andy Cortez probably fucked with that game.
So, okay, connect.
Connect.
If there's one connect game on the list, what is it?
Is it, is Dan Central?
Connectibles.
Yeah, probably a Dance Central.
You might get into like a Star Wars game.
The problem with me,
and my connect is like no connect game was ever good.
I can't think of one good connect game.
Where I'm like, that was the one,
everyone around me talked about.
I can't,
I couldn't pull a single connect game out there.
That's what I worry.
Connected adventure,
I don't know.
Yeah.
I mean,
Dance Central, right?
Because I was using it for like Nike Fitness Pro.
Okay.
That shit was crazy.
So like, yeah,
I don't have a good.
Yeah, people in chatter.
People in chatter throwing out games, right?
Fruit Ninja.
You mentioned the Star Wars,
the I'm Han Solo
meme is the one I remember
Oh, there's one that somebody had in there
That already got lost
But like yeah, it doesn't seem like any of these connect games
Are that's a fun
Over under
We'll give it a little bit of a boost
Uh huh
2.5 connect games on this
Under
To make three total, yeah
I'm gonna say under under
Yeah okay how about over under
1.5
2 or 1 or 9?
I think 2
You think 2 is on this list?
At most but I'm gonna say 2
I feel like Connect is like
I don't think we'll see a single Connect game on this
I have a good feeling we won't see it
depending on how much they reach into
third party games
Yeah
I could see there to be no third party
No connect game on the list because at that point
You're gonna run out of space because I do think that they'll end up doing like
They won't do every type of third party game
But I think anything that has any association
With Xbox
It's free game
And I just think there's so much
We learned
It's 360 era there's just so much
We learned when we did the PlayStation one right
It's like you hold tight to those exclusives, those first parties.
Yeah.
But we know there's going to be a lot of third parties on this.
There's going to be a lot of games that like you could have played anywhere on this list.
We're like, all right, like I guess on that, right?
This is my question for you.
What era of Xbox has the most games on this list?
I got a clear answer.
You would go 360.
Ask me 360.
You would go 360, but like I'm just trying to like Xbox one.
Xbox one generation will start to be the turn of more third party games that we'll see like a weird
Metal Gear Solid will be on there like a metal gear solid five right yeah like that's the problem
is you'll get into Xbox one and beyond and it will just be like oh these are games I played everywhere
but I think that's thing I don't think a metal gear solid five would be on here right I think that's too
that's not I don't associate that with Xbox that's just a yeah but I said that about PlayStation
they were putting on games that I didn't associate with PlayStation I think we'll see a lot of those
okay so like I do think you see a metal gear solid five on this I think that'd be crazy because
then it's like we're just putting every great that's right at that point it's like okay put
Eldon Ring on there. That's my problem with you.
You know, like, put everything on there. Let's focus on the
Xbox titles and go from there.
And so then another one I brought up Army
of 2. Me and Nick just played
through this. Army of 2 was a pretty
special game back on that 360
era. When you're talking about like 360
bangers, Army of 2 was on there,
right? A Max Payne is on there.
A dead to rights is on there,
right? Like, these are all hits
in my old school Xbox play.
Which Dead Rising is on there? Which Dead Rising?
Yeah. You have to have Dead Rising one or two.
Don't you dare put Dead Rising 3.
But I feel like that's where we start to get exclusive with it, right?
Dead Rising 3 was that first exclusive one for Xbox 1.
Yeah, but it was Xbox 1.
It was Xbox 1.
There's a giant open world in L.A.
They added vehicles.
Sunset Overdrive.
Oh, 100%.
Yeah.
That's like when you get into the Xbox 1 era.
Like when I think Xbox 1 era, it will be Sunset Overdrive.
Titanfall 1.
Titanfall 1 is a certified Xbox banger.
See, is that one where you just give it a Titanfall 2, though?
Well, then we start saying it could be on anything.
I mean, if you're going to put fucking, you know, the games that you're talking about.
I agree.
You got to put the best Titanfall on there.
It's a weird one because, yeah, Titanfall was the exclusive.
Titanfall, too.
Clearly the better one, though, the campaign, one of the best first-person shooter campaigns ever.
I wonder how they hold that because, yeah, you hold it in such regards now when you look at it.
But at the moment, right, everybody was caught up in the call of duty in battlefield and forgot about Titanfall 2 at that time, right?
So it's like, okay, now they're going to look back and go, hey, it was a great time at this one.
back in the day it's like I wouldn't have put Titanfall 2 on this list because it got overshadowed by the other two
I would have gone number one for sure some people put crackdown crackdown will be on this
with how many which one crack down one and two I would put on this okay if I was doing strictly
Xbox games crackdown one and two would probably make it I'm just going to say the name of
games and you tell me yes or no right okay splinter cell chaos theory yes of course it has to be
yeah has to be recor no but great pull thank you
You know what?
It's a maybe.
It's not on the list.
There's too many good games.
I think there's too many good games.
Sometimes you get into the hundreds and you start getting into 80s, 80 to 100, and you start
reaching for things, Blas.
And that's when people start to, from the 80 to 100, it's when you start to burn yourself
out on all the great Xbox games.
Yeah.
You start to get a little bit of like the really great to good third party games.
And then you want to get back to the first party games because you've gotten too many third
party games and that's when you get weird
and you're like, well, we got to go back.
Like, how about Rise, Son of Rome? And people are like
See, I was going to start. Great idea. Right idea
with Ray's Son of Rome. So like
Rise and Recore, there's a chance
that they're on this. Should Rise Son of Rome
be on this top 100 Xbox games? Absolutely not.
Yeah. Will it be? Probably.
Halo Infinite. Come on. Yes.
I mean, are we putting, is every
Halo on this list? No.
Four or five, not on this list. Okay.
ODST probably not.
RELO reach.
Yes.
Reach one, two, three, infinite.
That's five.
You think infinite?
Like, top 100 games?
I mean, listen, infinite is my halo.
So I'm with you.
I'd be fucking down.
But I think there's so,
because I think once you get out of that,
it's like Halo Wars.
Halo Wars is in this.
Are you putting Master of Collection on you?
Lord of the Rings battle for Middle Earth is in this.
I'm just saying like how many games can you put
with the word halo when the title on the list?
I mean, that's where people start.
to get crazy.
I mean, does every gears make the list?
No.
What gears doesn't make it?
Which is the one with braid in the front of it?
Gears.
It went one, two, three,
Gears judgment.
Gears judgment isn't on that.
They're not making it.
Four and five we could have a discussion about.
You'd like to just keep it tight with like gears one through three.
Okay.
I don't know if I'm going modern gears.
Let me get into some super chats.
I want to see what you guys are saying out there.
Really quick.
Chat, this is your opportunity.
opportunity in the comments down below.
You can let us know some of the fun stuff that you think will be on this list.
Tell us over under 1.5 connect games because it will be a perfect opportunity.
I'll be a perfect opportunity when me and bless finish this.
I'll go through the comments and I'll add up what you all predicted and what you thought.
So you can play along with us.
Skyler Forsland 3315 says, will you be reacting to each day?
No, because our schedule is too full for that.
I mean, we have to react to the finalist.
I was looking at the schedule.
it's a packed schedule guys
it's a big week
I don't know how we're gonna do it
how did we get this year packed so fast
yeah it's crazy
but we got to find time
I think Mike had a good idea
where if there's not a games cast slot
maybe we do it as a stream
which I think is a great idea
but I'm gonna say
we will react to the final list
because I think we have to
we're not gonna react to every day
because we just yeah no
that's not gonna happen
good question though
James Peters 11 says
condemned criminal origins
is one of the most underrated
and underappreciated
games of all time. Do you know about that way?
Condemned is fucked up.
Yeah. Condemned. I could
see making the list and I would give it the nod.
Condemned is probably not on my
top 100 just because
it wasn't my kind of game, but like
if it's on the list, I go, yep,
that makes sense. Two more games I'll throw
out of you. Viva Penaena. Of course.
Of course. One versus
100. I mean
yes,
in the back half. Maybe
even the final 25.
Okay. And that
I can just make it.
I can make so many more arguments
for other games that like, we're going to
get into some weird ones where it's like
these are like great Xbox arcade games
those are going to be on it. The good Xbox
arcade games, it's like
you're like maybe, you know what I mean? Maybe.
Project Gotham Racing. Yes.
100% you'll see a project awesome.
Do we see Forgeysons? How many Forts or Horizons do we see? Do we just see
the whole series? Do we get two through five?
No, no. I bet you get
four and five max
oh you got to put three on there
you think so
dude Australia
is the issue
I guess I'm just trying to limit myself
on how many like you said
franchise tags I'm putting on
because then it's like once you get out of that
it's like okay well force motor sport
has to be on there as well so how many of those are you putting on the thing
motorsports on there
Crimson's uh crimson skies
yeah
you can't make room for every game
you can't make this list you have to eventually say no
I think any of the games that we're talking about where it's like oh it's
okay.
Yeah.
I think,
no,
it's not gonna make the list.
They're making the,
yeah,
okay.
I think,
I think there are enough
good games.
Here's the deal.
Crimson Sky came out
at the OG Xbox.
It was an OG banger.
It's a classic
that has stood the test of time
in the lineage of Xbox.
It'll be on the list.
Brate.
There are games like that.
Brade has to be on.
I mean,
yes,
that's a problem.
That's an Xbox joint,
right?
Like,
Brade is an Xbox.
There are,
now that's the Xbox
arcade game.
Yeah.
It's like,
yeah,
there are going to be a lot of those are we doing that with limbo as well
is limbo in that conversation
Taylor two brothers yeah brothers and tail of two sons yeah
what's the other one geometry wars
that was a big one there's gonna be a lot weird like
PlayStation if I here's my thing if it came to Xbox first
then boom yes it's got to be in strong consideration
but if it came to both at the same time I love this list
I think it's tough with you it's so good time
it's a good time yeah I mean
guitar here
rock band guitar hero has to be on this list yeah guitar hero has to be on this list i'm trying to think
of like some other titles like that there's so many games you haven't talked about we haven't talked
about like morrow wind oblivion like i mean those are guaranteed some more superchats for you yel sing
says do we know if they're prioritizing exclusives when we get to the list we'll see we'll read that first
paragraph see what they talk about um christoph or christopher is saying over over on the 1.5 connect
games. Wow, I'm going to take two or more. I like that. We got a Doritos crash course obviously
100% is on that. No, it's not. Doritos crash course. Fantastic game has to make the list.
Kevin, if we can get footage, I need to see Doritos crash course. I've never seen this.
The greatest blast. Really? So much fun, bro. It was Fall Guys before Fall Guys.
Okay. Yeah. Okay. That's fun. Was that 360? 360. Xbox 5 arcade took your avatar, put it in the
all-time trials of obstacle courses,
very modeled after
American Ninja Warrior when that was kind of hitting its peak.
They modeled it after a lot of those.
And like, yeah, this was it.
You would just literally do this
and then you just run.
This is what I'll say.
Here's the thing, I would never,
I would never like take back the fact that I had.
Like my, that era, I was PS3, right?
PS3 was the console I had.
I also had a Wii, I guess.
I was using that Wii, let me tell you.
But if I could go back and replace
by PS3 with the 360, like if a genie came to me and they're like, hey, you have the option,
switch out, you know, you're going to have the 360. I might do it because there's something
about the 360 library, the catalog that just feels a bit more like interesting.
It's that if you could, in the multiplayer aspect to it too.
You would want the 360 from launch to like the like 75 to 80 percent. I like that.
And then you switch the PS3. Like that's kind of how my life when it's like I had the 360 from
launch and then somewhere my Tahoe early years.
I remember I got the PS3 for the last of us,
for the resistance for what's the...
Uncharted 3 maybe?
No, yeah, Uncharted 3, but what's the other shooter game?
Kills Zone.
For the kill zone.
Try like, so I was lucky to like get those PlayStation games.
And then by that point, it's like, oh yeah, I'm getting a PS4 with this Xbox
one.
Like, I'm moving on to that.
Yeah, I think that's a good call.
Yeah, that's how you want to do that.
If I can have the 360 for the first 80% and then switch over to the PlayStation 3
for the last 30 or last 20.
I mean, like, you'll have a Ninja Guiden in this.
Oh, yeah, for sure.
You'll have some fighting games in there.
I don't know of Soul Calibur, though.
Killer Instinct?
Yes. Killer Instinct? Yes. Killer Instinct's on the list.
In there.
It's in there. I think we might see it today.
We're getting into the top or into that bottom 25.
75 to 100.
Yeah, I think Killer Instinct's in there.
I wouldn't be mad at that.
More Super Chats for you.
John Van Pelt says Mass Effect 3 was a Connect title.
You gave the squad orders.
Yes.
There was a lot of games that had Connect.
features in it.
A lot of sports titles as well
would punish you if you cursed at it.
I did a lot of cursing back then
and they definitely would punish you for that.
I thought that was so much fun.
Do you remember in CTA 5 where if you're playing online
you can like yell into the controller Rob one of the clerks
at the story?
Yeah, Rob,
I used to do that all the time.
So dumb.
There's a mic in here that says,
what about Sunset Overdrive,
which you mentioned, Burnout Paradise.
Peggle.
They say Peggle.
It's a great poll as well.
Peggles, one of my favorites,
like someone just wrote Ghost Recon,
you have the Gras
Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighters
You have the Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six
Vegas that were fantastic
back then. I love those games.
Another one that I love called Shadow Run
which was an always online
tied in with Windows XP
game that had like crossplay
with it but it was literally just like
attacker defend capture the flag
the best bless. This was a classic.
I want to bring in this one from Red Misfit
pissing me off, all right?
Okay. Oh.
Roger Blessing was defending Phil Spencer.
First of all, I think you mean we're defending Phil Spencer.
We were defending Phil Spencer yesterday and I can't do it.
He has to be held accountable for bad decisions he made for the company.
He's a great ambassador for Xbox, but not the best CEO.
And to Red Misfit, this is what I'll say.
Okay.
Roger was defending Phil Spencer.
Oh, I was, I just sat there.
I didn't say shit.
All right?
Don't put that shit on me.
Put that shit on Roger, all right?
That's what I'll say.
I didn't, I wasn't saying all the shit.
He was saying.
Got it.
You was insane.
He was insane.
I was like, all right, cool, listen.
Amazing.
Listen.
I was going to yuck as yum.
I was going to sit there and be like, you're wrong.
I mean, no, I was going to do that.
Of course, you brought up the Bethesda games.
Uh-huh.
Morrow Wind, Oblivion, Fallout, New Vegas, right?
Like, you have a lot of type of there.
Covey aren't right in and says which fallouts indoor elder scrolls make it.
Which fall, okay, Fallout 3 or New, Fallout 3 and New Vegas have the highest running in my mind.
Sure.
Yeah.
Elder Scrolls, it would be
that probably
they're probably hit you with Marwin,
oblivion and Skyrim.
I can see it.
The last one I'll say, I'll ask you.
Lay it on me. Before we go to break and then hop
into this top or this bottom 25,
Starfield. No.
You think Starfield's not on the list?
Starfield is 100% not on this list.
I like it. I would be, I'm stunned.
I like it. If Starfield is on this list.
I like it. Absolutely not.
I can't wait to get into this list
I can't wait to get into it too
I love talking to Xbox with you bless

live stream audience. I'm going to pull a couple
from you right now. People bringing up
Wolfenstein and Doom. That's in the later
years. I think we could see those for sure being on this list. A lot of people brought up some great
Xbox 360 arcade games. Gotham City Impostors. Mine was small arms, Bless, I pulled this for you.
No way. Special time. It's a special time back down. That was on PlayStation as well.
Bless, we're going to see PlayStation games. You know that. But like, okay, but if we're doing third-party
games that are on both, I don't think Gotham City Impostors is the one to die. That's my head. I die on.
I don't think that's the hell. I mean, I like that game, too. But like at that point, if we're going,
All right. Third party category.
Eldon Ring. Balthor's Gate 3.
Gotham City.
No.
One for you, blessed, that I know you'll love if you ever tried it.
Smash Bros.
But Xbox Edition, small arms was the game.
Smaller.
It was literally Smash Bros.
It was Smash Bros.
With their own little characters, super fun.
Fight Night will be on this list from the Jack.
Fight Night 100% will be on this list, right?
Will we see an NBA Street?
I think Home Court was.
with Carmelo Anthony on it, where they win.
No. No. I mean, listen, I, you know I love M.A. Street. You're not,
MBA Street, home court is not on any top 100 lists. And then NFL Blitz, the league.
The League. Oh, that'd be fun. Lits the league was pretty good. I like that. I like that.
I like that. So many good ones. Freedom fighters out there is one.
We can hang out here more. Indiana Jones is a great circle. Let's talk about some more
modern stuff, Outer Worlds. Grounded. Grounded. Grounded. See a Thieves. Oh, see if these
is probably top.
Top 10?
No.
This is what I want to do is
we're going to go through the 10376.
I hope, hopefully we have enough time
because I want to then end this with your predictions
to the top 10th. I love that. I love that. I want to talk about your predictions
the top 10. Let's take it off. Let's have some fun.
Riddick will be on this list. Ridic will be on this list. Riddick will be on the
Riddick is like held so tight by Xbox gamers. It's crazy.
South of midnight. Do you think is on this list? No.
Wow. I don't think so. I don't know if we'll get that many
you know what?
I only say that because in my mind I don't think
we'll get many recent games
but like clearly this could be very recent
as well. Oh it can be yeah
like that super everything is
we might get a call of duty on this list
Mike. You'll get a call duty.
There's so man we're going to talk about
you'll get a call duty. All right top 100
Xbox games of all time
this is a fun one. What about prototype?
I don't think you're getting into prototype.
That was our infamous.
It was on everything.
I know but it was ours because we didn't have it from it.
So we claimed it.
We claimed that game.
This list is not only being compiled by IGN, Mike.
It's IGN.
It's IGN and outside Xbox teaming up.
Outside Xbox.
You know Outside Xbox?
I don't know outside Xbox.
They're a YouTube channel.
I actually really like Outside Xbox.
I believe they're like a UK brain.
Okay.
No, I've never heard of them.
Okay.
Oh yeah.
Shout out outside Xbox.
I used to watch a lot of Outside Xbox.
Really?
Now I know.
Yeah.
They're teaming up for the ultimate ranking of Xbox console favorites.
I'll read.
I'll read the first couple paragraphs.
have here. Of course, this is written by the IGN staff. What is an Xbox? Microsoft has spent
25 years trying to answer the question, but for fans, the answer is easy. Xbox evokes one-eared
headsets wired into the memory card slots of massive controllers with breakaway cords, a dashboard
with gleaming schemorphic blades, and avatars adorned in earned accessories. That sound that
plays when a hard-earned achievement finally pops. Xbox means heavy-duty hardware, tactile
sensations, friends connecting for the first time, and that's before we even get into the games.
It may be the very idea of an Xbox game is coming to an end. Oh, let me say that again.
It may be that the very idea of an Xbox game is coming to an end. Microsoft has undeniably
shifted its tactics with a new focus on multi-platform releases, handheld Xboxes that are actually
miniature Windows computers, and the potential that feature Xbox consoles may simply be gaming PCs.
So now seems as good a time as any
to look back at the entire history of Xbox's,
or sorry, of Microsoft's journey,
and rank the best Xbox games
with help from our friends at Outside Xbox,
the multi-million subscriber channel
that serves up weekly videos about the video games
and video game adjacent things.
When we say the best Xbox games,
we mean ones that most evoke that weighty sense of Xboxness.
Some are first party.
Most are exclusives.
I love hearing that.
Most are exclusive.
We'll hold you to that.
We're going to hold you to that.
That's a very big.
I'm going to keep a track.
Very big qualifier.
Okay.
Most are exclusives and all of them are indelibly tied to the legacy of and fondness for a platform that's left a massive mark on gaming.
These are the top 100 best Xbox games of all time.
They're going to be updating this list daily with 25 games.
We're starting here.
100 through 70 maybe 76 yeah 100 through 76 final one uh left for dead on this list yes for sure yes
let's do it take me in let's start with number 100 one versus 100 there you have it 80 through 100 there was
is that a good 100 slot yeah i think that's a fun easy 100 slot i think that's a great way to engage the
reader as well a classic a special one that xbox gamers hold near near their heart during that 360 time
connecting so many players in the world together through a fun trivia game show.
Awesome.
Great one right now.
Somebody in chat says,
High Fire Rush,
High Fire Rush better be on this list.
It will be.
It better be on this list.
Now,
here's a fun one.
You know how to capture the same feeling of one versus 100?
The LA Clippers have that at their new arena.
At your seat,
there are four buttons on every single seat inside the arena.
And during timeouts or halftime,
they play games where you actually do trivia and like best games.
I love that.
that shit. Really fun. At number 99, we have
Conquer Live and Reloaded. Okay. Makes sense. That's a Mike
ass game. We didn't say Conquer. Conquer, Conquer for sure. Hold up. Makes sense on
this list. And Conquer Live and Reloaded added Xbox online to it. So they added their own
online game modes. Now, Conquer Bad Furdee back on by N64. The best
mini games. I don't know if you ever played them. Oh, yeah. The best. They had so
many unique and different mini games that traversed all the time that Conquer spent
in the campaign from running around with raptors
who would defend their nest and you had to get the raptor eggs
as the cavemen and then putting in a frying pan
there was a heist game we'd go out and rob banks
that was so much fun like that multiplayer suite was so awesome
and then to go to Concord Live and Reloaded
where they're like okay let's kind of like really focus in on this
and they made it more of like a call of duty
almost third person shooter yep thumbs up
thumbs up for this that's a crazy kind of pull
but I like it.
It belongs on the list though, right?
I mean,
our best Xbox games?
At 99, it belongs on the list.
Yeah.
I think 99 is good for it.
It's an 80 through 150.
Okay.
I could probably find a couple of games
that might push this one out of the top 100.
Okay.
But like, it's in there.
It's in the back window.
At 98, we got topspin.
Topspin golf.
Oh, no, top spin tennis.
Of course.
An all-time classic.
Hangar 13 tried to bring it back recently.
Yeah.
unfortunately didn't hit it.
Tennis is such a great video game sport,
sport turned into video game,
because you know,
you understand the sport,
you see it,
you can play it,
it's minimal,
like buttons.
Look back,
go back to Pong,
you know what I mean?
Like,
that's where the video game started.
Easy to learn,
hard to master or whatever.
Yeah.
Infinite challenge to master,
right?
The problem is,
is like,
after a while,
it's tough to like make mini games
to keep you engaged for a long period,
that story or campaign,
right?
Eventually you hit a point where you're like,
okay, I need more than just the tennis,
but like, top spin, great pull on the list.
Great pull. You know what? Great pull on the list.
And number 97, we got binary domain.
I know this game from the cover art. I don't know this game.
Yeah, this is what I know from seeing it on shelves at GameStop,
but I never like really picked it up.
Is it Contra? Does it look like Contra when you play it?
Is it a 2D side scroller shoot a month?
Right here they write, the 360 was a treasure chest
full of those seven out of tens that you couldn't put down.
those rough around the edges, quote classics
that kept us more than entertained
for a weekend before we moved on to the next.
Binary Domain is a perfect example of a third-person shooter
from the Yakuza developer, Ryu Gakotoku Studio.
I didn't know that.
This sci-fi story didn't play out too differently
from established cover shooters such as Gears of War
but came with its own unique perks.
Oh.
Yeah, direct control over your squad mates
was chief among these with the ability to command them
in six different languages via headset
or the connect sensor.
There you go, you got that connect functionality.
a fun little gimmick that took advantage of Xbox's
ultimately doomed experiment with this camera peripheral.
Binary domain may have never fully reached the heights of its lofty ambitions,
but it still finds a place in our hearts.
This is what I'll say.
I appreciate games of this era that try to do the Barker commands via headset or via connect or whatever.
I don't know if you ever played Tom Clancy's End War, but I had that.
And I remember being in my room, just trying to be like a fucking military commander.
I mean, a great pose, Battlefield 4,
when they had you on the iPad, right?
You could be the commander of the battlefield
and they literally put, you want an iPad
and yeah, you can just start clicking away
and like sending in extra stuff.
That was a crazy time back then.
When they were like, how do we just add more stuff onto this?
I love it.
You know what?
Here's a cool part about this list list that I will take away.
It's like these are games that I'll try now.
Out of this top 100, the games that I've missed that I don't know,
I'll give them a try.
That's good.
So I'll add this to my list.
I've never tried this.
And number 96, we have Steel Battalienable,
We mentioned it.
There it is.
There it is.
Yeah, yeah.
At number 95, we got Odd World Strangers Raff.
Interesting.
Okay.
Stranger's Rath was, I believe, the first-person shooter one, right?
It wasn't with Abe where it was the 2D trying to break out of the prison.
This one, I think they added, I think it became a shooter.
And you were like crossbowing people with the weird little odd things.
It was pretty cute.
Interesting.
I don't know anything about this entry.
But also, I'm just like not an odd world.
person. Oh, really? Yeah, Oddworld didn't really come into my, I guess, like,
lexicon of games that I knew of until maybe PS4 era.
OGPS1, right? I always talk about I had a short time frame with it. And I believe it was
the Jurassic Park with the little monsters biting you right on the first level,
Tomb Raider that me and mom called the hotline for all the time. And there was Odd World. And
mom fucking figured it out. For a kid that couldn't get it done, mom like saw the Matrix and
I think almost breathed through that video game for me.
Wow.
It was crazy.
I'll never forget that.
That's really cool.
My dad,
my dad who hated video games,
hated them because I was obsessed with them
and I didn't get great grades.
So you always played the video games.
He specifically was excellent at Arkenoid.
We had Arkenoid on our like office computer in the house
and me and my sisters would play Arkenoid all the time.
And then my dad would come through and fucking dominate.
That cool.
I love that shit.
You know what I love those moments.
Number 94 is,
This one.
Oh, wait.
Oh, we didn't say this one.
So, 95, I give a, I give a little handshake too.
Yeah.
Okay.
I'll go play it and check it out.
I fell off Oddward by this time, but I remember going like, oh, odd world and a first
person shooter, like, maybe I should try that.
But like, this is one of those where I'm like, could we have found something different?
But I bet you're like an Xbox exclusivity or something like that.
Oh, yeah.
Maybe pushed it.
I'm going to give it a maybe.
And number 94, Mike, you're going to kick yourself, Fusion frenzy.
I knew, yeah.
94.
I would put this a little bit
lower on the list.
Yeah, I guess.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's better than 90.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean,
will we see brute force?
Oh, that's a good question.
Fusion frenzy on the list is a must have.
Fusion frenzy at 94.
Here's what I'll say.
Fusion frenzy not good if you jump into it right now, though.
Here's the one I'll say.
I didn't think it was good when I jumped into it as a kid.
My friend Stephen O'Hini and his family,
they had a fucking Xbox,
which is where I played Dead or Alive 3 for the first time.
Which Dead or Alive,
you said a fighting game.
How about Beach Volleyball?
I never played Beach Volleyball.
I remember,
I think that was when I saw a G4 and I was like,
damn, I want that game.
I was a freaky little kid, let me tell you.
But I saw,
I saw, or I played Dead or Alive three,
which I think a Dead or Life should be here.
But we played Fusion Frenzy after that.
And when I tell you,
I fucking hated this game, man.
I fucking did not like Fusion Frenzy.
And so I think it's iconic.
enough for it has to be in that list.
Little Kid Me
is happy with this.
Fusion Frenzy will always be on the Xbox
Top 100 list. 94.
Okay, I would have gone a little bit lower
or higher, but I like that. Let's do it.
At 93, we have
Lost Planet Extreme Condition.
I just played this game too. Yeah, you did.
I always wanted to play
Lost Planet. Lost Planet looked like the
coolest, right? Coming off of Starship
Troopers the game, never
really finding a game that was like
Starship Troopers, the movie I mean, and being like, I want that.
And then seeing Lost Planet and they had like the weird kind of looking
Storm or Starship Troopers monsters, it's like I wanted that.
And then I played that and I was like, you know what?
We're good on that.
Yeah.
We're like, we're good on that.
Lost Planet 2 was the one that got me in.
I remember this was before I even had a PS3.
And so my friend Anthony was house sitting and we went over.
He was like, oh, they got a PS3 come through.
And then he put in Lost Planet 2.
We played the entire day.
Such a fun co-opics.
That was like my first third person co-op game from like that era of games.
Oh, I fucking love.
Chat, let me know.
Lost Planet, I always think of Dead Space, Bless.
Uh-huh.
Did they come out near each other?
Because, like, I remember thinking to myself, like, I was playing Dead Space, and I remember
looking at Lost Planet, but I don't remember how close they were.
I mean, they're same era, same.
I think they're probably around the same time.
A couple, okay.
But I think that's the only thing that really links them.
Dead Space will always be my Lost Planet.
They're like very different games.
I know, but like, I guess when you were a kid.
kid and you're looking at covers
and you're thinking like shooting monster.
Somebody in chat says they had a crossover thing.
Oh yeah.
Which is crazy.
I never would.
If you're in a name,
if this is a game showdown game
and you're like,
which of these games had a crossover
never would have said loss plate in dead space.
At number 92,
we have Banger Cazooey nuts and bolts.
I don't like it being nuts and bolts.
I mean, yeah, the question.
Unless.
Is that, well, that's the 361.
Unless rare replays on the list.
Just put the entirety of rare replays as one entry.
I mean, yeah, it has to be.
the list.
Then I'm okay with this.
Fantastic game.
I mean,
Ray Replay is fan.
But like,
it's a weird one
because that's 30 games.
That's all right though.
I mean,
well then we get to him.
If Tim Geddes was here,
he'd be mad at that.
Halo Master Chief Collection.
That's tough.
Okay.
It's tough.
That's a tough one.
I think yes, though.
I'd be okay of Master Chief Collection.
You'd have to tell me about nuts and bolts,
though.
Oh, I never played.
Oh, actually, I played a little bit of it,
but it wasn't my jam.
Okay.
It's basically like, imagine of Banja Zui
still, imagine
of Banja Kizui had an art style that looked almost too good,
but then the gameplay was not Banj Kuzui.
You're putting together vehicles and driving vehicles.
Yeah, I remember.
Oh, yeah.
It was not what I wanted out of Banja Zahiswis, what I'll say.
But, like, you boot this game up today, still looks really good.
Okay.
Art style is fucking weird, but I still fuck with it.
I am surprised 92 with Banjo-Kazooey nuts and bolts.
Yeah.
I would have expected this to miss the list.
Yes.
At number 91, we have condemned criminal.
origins. We talked about it. We knew
it was going to be on the list. Yeah, that one
and what's the one I recently
played from Rockstar Manhunt, right?
Yeah, manhunt. Yeah, those were some freaky
games during this time period. Super freaky.
Some real dark stuff. And
condemned got a couple. I think they got
condemned two and a VR title, if I'm not
if I'm not mistaken.
I think they went kind of the distance
with this one. At number 90,
we have Castle Crashers.
All time. Got to be on there. I would
I mean, this is probably a top
50 game, if we're being honest with you.
Yeah, I can see that. Maybe because it is
third party can be anywhere. It gets a little bit pushed, but like, that's
probably a top 50, if not a top 30, all-time
classic Xbox game with how powerful it was on the Xbox
360 arcade, what it did.
That might be a, that should probably be higher.
At number 89, we have Mecca Salt.
There you go. There you go. You pulled that. That out, mecassault.
Okay. I mean, well, Katz, Casuals, Cats,
Crasher is above Mexico.
Yeah, Castle Crash is the first
like, oh, I don't, yeah, that seems
like it should be higher. At number 88
we got Peter Jackson's
King Kong.
An OG Xbox 360 title. I think I
played a little bit of this one. I don't
remember it. I just remember it being
this is one of the launch
titles, the Xbox 360, and people
liked it a lot. I don't remember at all.
Funny enough, I've been hearing more and more about
Peter Jackson's King Kong video game
lately, yes. There was a video that
came up on one of my feeds where they were talking about
how underrated this game is.
Me and Tim were doing another shit list recently
where it appeared
like top 10, I think best licensed games
or best movie games and this was on the list as well.
And it's good.
People say this game is great.
You know what? Add this to the list with binary domain?
Yeah. I'll play that. I think that'd be a good one.
I don't, yeah, no way. I don't remember that. Okay.
And number 87, we have
Full Spectrum Warrior. Do you know this one?
Interesting. I know the cover art for this one.
I never played full
Spectrum Warrior. Did I play Full Spectrum Warrior?
Was this like a Call of Duty competitor?
I mean, I would assume it was, yeah.
Fuller famously started out, not as
for public consumption video game, but as a training tool for the U.S. Army. Jesus.
It's a real-time... Oh, never mind. It's a real-time tactics game.
I'm thinking of a different game. Interesting.
I'd never, I've never even heard of this one. No, I only know the cover art to this one.
All right. Kevin, if you can bring up gameplay of Full Spectrum Warrior as we continue,
you over it. You can get full spectrum warrior
right now on Steam
for $10.
Okay. Yeah, no, I've never
I know the cover art. I don't know this.
It's so funny because like during that Xbox
360 and Xbox one, there was
so many call of duty likes.
Yeah. You know, like you brought up with Ghost Recon
Graw, like there was so many
Medal of Honor. It's going to be a medal of honor might make this list.
I can see it. We'll see a Medal of Honor.
Next up, of course, here we're brought up. Full Spectrum Warrior.
Yeah, fast forward a little bit
See if we can find some
Look at this
Cutsin look both
Wait hold on
Why do the character models
Look way better here
There's a lot of inconsistency
Between the quality of character models
Going on here
I feel like
Okay
I'm interested in seeing what this is
He has what looks like a Game Boy
Yeah
SP
He's got to flip Game Boy is right
We're clicking through
And this is supposed to be
Like a strategy type thing
Oh yeah
And they use this to train people
people in the US Army.
Huh.
That's crazy.
Yeah, that's wild.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Moving up, see how I didn't say anything to that one super chatter?
Because he's going to pop up tomorrow.
Be like, Blessing supported the war.
And I'm like, I didn't say anything.
I didn't say anything.
He didn't say nothing.
I didn't say nothing.
Number 86, we got dead or alive three.
There we go.
Yeah.
I was expecting it.
It has to be on the list.
There's got to be on there.
Any other ones?
Dead or Alives or fighting games.
But yeah, both.
I mean, killer.
instinct for sure. I feel like this is the
dead or alive. Combatts, let's get into the
Tekkins. I think
I mean, killer instinct, yeah, like
you said for sure. I think the other ones are
two third party. Okay. I don't know if there's other
like, this is the X-Bot.
Maybe is there a virtual fighter that's like a very
Xbox-associated one? What about Soul Calibur
when they all gave them
special characters? Each one, each
console got a special character. But like, I feel like the Xbox
special characters sucked. Was it Yoda, right?
Yoda and Spawn. Spawn for Soul-Colibre
2. Spawn. And then, yeah,
Yoda for so-caller.
Then the other one got Darth Vader.
Yeah.
And then the other one got Link, right?
Or Zelda.
Well, for SoulCol-Li, yeah.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Okay.
More Dead or Alive?
I don't know.
See, three would have been the choice.
I don't think I've ever played a Dead or Alive game.
Dead or Live is pretty sick.
Okay.
I mean, it looks a lot like Tekken just because it's another 3D fighter.
But I feel like Dead or Alive, Dead or Live,
Deer-R-Live 3 had a tag team mechanic, just like Tech and Tag.
Okay.
But Deader Live 3 felt a bit more.
more dynamic. Like when you're switching people out
like fucking doing combos in the middle of it,
hit somebody out of window, jump after them.
Like, General Light 3 had some flair
to it that I really fucked with.
Maybe you get Beach Volleyball.
I think we might give Beach Volleyball.
We're not going to give Beach Volleyball. At number
85, we got
Perfect Dark Zero.
I love that. I mean,
here's the issue.
I love Perfect Dark Zero.
I think there are some people who like Perfect Dark Zero.
I don't know if Perfect Dark Zero,
came out in the best state and was the best game.
I think it's just like we hold tight to it because it was the return of Perfect
Dark and Joanna Dark had a multiplayer early in the Xbox 360 era with the craze of online
gaming like, but I don't know many people who are like, Mike, Perfect Dark is an all-timer.
I think this is saying that.
I think this is absolutely nuts.
Perfect Dark Zero shouldn't be above Castle Crashers.
Yeah, I don't.
Okay.
Let's start there.
Like, that's where we start.
Yeah.
Because any game now you have to look at Castle Crashers as
the bar. Is this game better than Castle Crashers? Perfect Dark Zero? I'm saying no. No.
I can say that. I did play a little bit of Perfect Dark Zero because it's in Rare Replay.
Yes. I respect the poll because I was one of those kids that was playing nonstop Perfect Dark Zero
multiplayer back in the day. I hold it near and dear my heart, but you can go back to Xcast
episodes. When they announced Perfect Dark, I said, who the hell's this for? Yeah.
Ain't nobody care about this franchise like that. And it's crazy. So maybe, I don't know about
that one. I feel like it could have been off the, stayed off the
list. That's where I'm... If it's not on the list, we wouldn't have said anything.
I think it's on the list because maybe it's the only perfect dark.
Maybe they don't have the original perfect dark.
Well, yeah, no. Like, rare replay. I don't know.
It's a tough one. At number 84, we have Panzer Dragoon order.
I've heard good things about this one. Yeah, I never played a Panzer Dragoon. Is that similar?
It's like a flying, like a jet like it? On rail shooter type thing. Yeah, I never played any of these, no.
and number 83
we have Rayman Legends
is this a
did this come to Xbox first
that's surprising to me
I man I don't think of Rayman
with my Xbox stuff
I played Rayman on the what
PS1 way back in the day
the OG Rayman yeah
and so like Raymond Legends was a
that was like the return because those Rayman
Origins and I forget which one is first
2013 Rayman Legends
I would know I did not play Rayman Legends
no chat is there what's the Xbox
association here. Because I'm reading
the thing, right?
It's on PlayStation 4, Switch,
PS3, Xbox 1. Legends
is as good as 2D platforming gets
improved a real treat in the dying days of
Xbox's golden 360
era. But I'm not seeing
anything here about like anything else regarding Xbox.
Yeah, I don't love this one.
Uh-huh. I don't love that one. It's a great
game though. Like, people love this game
but it's just an interesting pick.
And number 82.
I'm not steam.
We have Tom Cleansy's Rainbow Six Vegas.
This shit was lit back in the day.
Oh, of course.
Oh, my God.
Vegas and Vegas, too,
were some of the best online multiplayer experiences around.
And also the little campaign stuff.
But being able to, like,
back up and be in cover third person,
see all around you,
going full tactile,
and then like the building blocks for what siege is now.
It's like, man, it's crazy.
I was playing that way back in the day.
And then to be able to play seeds,
it's like just like that is awesome.
Yeah.
But a lot more cover-based.
Seeds you don't really take cover like that.
No, but like it's still like
the tactical thing, right? I think that's the thing
that it maintains. I never played
Rainbow Six Vegas and I feel bad
about that. Oh, you would have loved it. I would have loved
this game. I just never had it or I didn't
I never had friends that talked about Rainbow Six
Vegas like that. I didn't, I don't think I
realized how big this was until like I
read the internet more, you know?
It's an all-timer. That's an all-timer. That's cool.
And number 81, we have
Brothers, A Tale of Two Sons.
You mentioned it, Mike.
Xbox 360 arcade.
This is when you're going to see a lot of big ones.
Brothers is...
Hazelight.
Hazelight. Joseph Ferris, right?
Joseph Ferris, yeah.
That's crazy.
I mean, what a...
What a cat...
Let us all the way to split fiction.
It takes two and stuff.
Do you ever think about, like, Army of 2
being the first hazelight?
You know, I never thought about it like that.
I'm constantly running.
What was the game?
Oh, I don't know if this is a reference to
kind of Feudy that we can't make yet.
Because we made a good point about a game that should be a, like, the next Hayslight game.
Oh.
But I forget if we said it on, whatever, we'll fucking ruin it.
Because somebody, somebody somewhere, you might hear this in like six weeks again on Kind of Feudy.
We'll see.
But somebody said that rush hour would, should be Hayslight's next game.
I think it was Andy said that.
You and Andy.
And everybody was like, yo, that's such a good idea.
They're going to be mad that I ruined Kind of Beauty.
But like, that was such a good poll.
and I was like, fuck, that's such a good idea.
I mean, you have the building blocks with, what was the get out?
A way out.
A way out.
A way out, yeah.
Boom.
There we go.
Sorry, I spoiled kind of few guys.
At number 80, we got Titanfall one.
I think you're going to see Titanfall too.
Oh, banger.
Yeah.
This was everything on the Xbox one, especially, I believe this was like close to early in
the generation's launch.
This kind of carried the Xbox one for a while before we really started going like,
oh, this is doomed type shit.
You know what I mean? Like, I'll never forget
driving down in the snow
over black ice on the mountain pass
to drive down at midnight to get this
to get the giant box because I still had
the collector's edition. Still to the
day it's in my background. And like, this was
the coolest gaming experience ever. I didn't
need a campaign. Just put on online
multiplayer bouncing off the walls,
jet packing, going invisible,
shooting NPCs and also real players.
That was a cool blend. They did a great
job with this. When, I don't know if you remember when, I'm going to pull in a deep reference here,
right? In the early 2010s, there was a mixtape that came out that was called Friday Night Lights
by Jay Cole. And when it dropped, everybody stopped what they're doing and they were like,
oh, this motherfucker is the savior. Like this motherfucker's the savior of rap. Jay Cole's up next.
Like everything revolved around, oh, this guy's fucking up next. When Titanfall was revealed and was coming
out, Titanfall felt the way that Jay Cole felt when he dropped Friday night lights. Like,
there's going to be a certain percentage of people in chat to understand the feeling that I'm
talking about. But it, like, I almost didn't understand it because, like, I didn't have the Xbox
one or whatever. So it's like, I'm not going to play this thing. But everybody online was so locked in.
Everybody was like, oh, Titanfall, stop everything. This is the fucking game right now. Like,
Titanfall captured an energy, unlike anything I remember. Like, for a new multiplayer first person,
shooter. It felt crazy.
2014, March of 2014,
the console launch
November 22nd, 2013.
So this was like a launch window type
stuff here. Yeah. Right around the
corner. Like I said, this brought a lot of hype
to the Xbox one. And I was
doing the Jerry O'Connell. I got
B. Like, I would literally just run
to B because it was always three points. And I
would just literally crouch and sit at B all day long.
It was so much fun. Yeah. And then
called in your Titan back then. Oh.
That was prepare for Titanfall.
And that was the coolest shit around.
Cool.
The coolest shit.
God.
We've been chasing this high ever since.
The fact that Tynefall isn't like a mainstay.
I know.
The fact that we're still not talking about like, oh yeah, I'm playing the next Titanfall.
Like the fact that Titanfall isn't annualized, I know that'd be a bad thing.
But like it should be around.
I can't believe it's not like the current call of duty, you know, number one video game every single year.
All time great.
It's an all time great.
And number 79, we got the Outer Worlds too.
Wow.
Okay.
Interesting.
Now I have fallen off
the obsidian RPGs.
I've said that before
that I've fallen in love
with their grounded game
but I have not played
avowed outer worlds two
I didn't really love
Outer Worlds One
and so that's kind of
where it stopped me right
and so I don't know
I mean
I love Titanfall
but I think Titanfall
too is gonna be higher than
Above Castle Crashers
That depends on you ask I think
I'm not mad at it
But like I am a little bit surprised
I loved Outer Worlds 1
I really didn't love Outer Worlds 2
I fell off of it but I don't
I'm not been able to locate why
You know what I mean?
Like I just didn't resonate this time around
But I think I could see them in the back room
Talking about it right
And being like well out of and Outerworlds
Has to be on this list or an obsidian RPG
Or whatever has to be on this list
And they probably weighed Outer Worlds 1 and 2
And it's Outer Worlds 2
I mean if we were like you said
If we were in the room
Let's just put ourselves last month
Yeah
Right, we're going, Mike, give me the past 20 games that they dropped.
Outer Worlds 2 is on that.
So now it's in the conversation.
Yeah.
So okay.
I think Outer Worlds, it captures the last decade of Obsidian RPGs, I think.
So do we get a Vowed?
No.
Avowal's not above Outer Worlds, too.
You're not going to put it above.
You're not, I think this is, I don't think we get Outer Worlds one.
I don't think we get avowed.
I think we get Knights of the Old Republic.
Okay.
How about Pentiment?
I'm trying to get like, reaching obsidian games.
That's a good call out. Outer Worlds 2 right now is 79.
We're trying to make the ultimate Xbox top 100.
I think you get Pentamint.
And I go through Obsidian's games.
Pentamintment.
Grounded.
Grounded 2.
Let's put Grounded 2 as no.
You get a grounded.
It's super early.
Sure, sure.
But like grounded one and pentamint, are they making it?
Both, yes.
I think you get both those games.
Okay.
And I'm sure there's some other, like,
there might be other obsidian games that I just don't know of.
Well, like New Vegas.
I mean, yeah, right?
New Vegas is up.
Obscenin is going to have a big presence on this list.
Okay.
Okay.
And number 78, we got Keeper.
Listen, I'm shocked.
I love, I love Keeper.
That's kind of crazy.
I love that.
I think this is where we get kind of,
we're getting heavy on the Xbox.
Yeah.
First party.
Xbox owned Keeper.
Great game.
78?
I ride or die.
Top 100 Xbox games of all time?
This is one of those ones where I would have been in the room
and I would have been lobbying for this,
but I would have given up so quickly.
I would have been like nobody else thinks this though.
Like, I think 78, yeah,
but I'm not going to convince you all,
so put it at number 99.
If we were going to keep it and go very minimal third party
and really focus, like they said on those first two paragraphs,
then Keeper might be on the list.
I mean, published by Xbox.
It's an 80 to 150.
Yeah.
For sure.
Like, it's in a conversation.
Yeah.
Wow.
Keeper.
That's crazy.
That's awesome.
I love that.
That's crazy.
A video game that Lee Petty thought about during COVID while on a hike about a game where it's like, you're just walking.
And it's okay.
Listen, somebody at IGN or outside Xbox feels the way I feel about Keeper and I fuck with that.
Hey, whoever it was, I fuck with you.
I love that.
Okay.
At number 77, you got Jade Empire.
Jade Empire.
Hey, that's our goat.
That's our goat.
That is our goat right there.
Yep, yep, yep, yep.
We ride for Jade Empire.
One day we'll play it.
Is that on your list?
It's on the list.
It's on the list.
It's on the list.
Oh, yeah, Jade Empire's on the list.
Okay.
Me being wowed by Keeper and Outer Worlds too.
Yeah.
Jade Empire, though, that was a lot.
Oh, yeah.
Well, on your list to play.
Oh, it's on the list to play.
Okay, you're playing.
Okay.
Purchased already one day.
And then we close this out with number two.
76, Gears 5.
Wow.
How does that make you feel, Mike?
Gears 5.
Gears 5 is a mixed bag of emotions for me.
Gears 5 did so much.
Gears 5 really pushed the graphics and world design of gears.
They tried to do these things with like larger open areas,
similar to like a Tomb Raider that you saw, right?
It's not open world, but it's open area.
And you're going to run all around and you're going to explore a little bit more.
maybe you'll do like a side quest or like a side objective type thing and then you'll get back on top
back on track the other thing was is it's kate diaz's story kate and marcus's little twin nephew or
whoever the hell that guy is i forget is by now they just didn't have the pop like the oh geez
and now it's always going to be the problem coming off of gears one through three and all the
gears and the the original just like that had an insane core cast that everybody fell in love with
gears four and five, I think it's like, I'm not in love with this cast right now.
And then it did end on an extreme cliffhanger.
And it's crazy that we're going to Gears E-Day when it's like,
Gears 5 ends and you're like, let's get to it then.
Yeah.
That means Gears 4 not on this list on.
Gears 5 to make the list for what it did gameplay wise, graphic-wise, I'm in for.
Gears 4, not on the list.
Okay.
Wow.
No, no, like, you think it's that definitive?
I, here's four will not make it above gears five.
Gears four is not on the list.
Okay.
What other are, do we see gears one, two, and three?
Yes.
Okay.
All right.
Judgment, I don't know.
High busters, clearly, probably not.
High busters might be on my list, though.
High busters might make my top 100 Xbox team.
Mike, this is how we're going to close this episode.
Damn, this is, damn.
This is my time.
Yeah, that's it.
I love doing this with you, man.
I mean, we got a fine time to come back.
I might go to Greg and be like, Greg, we have to slash something so me and Mike can finish this because this is too good of content.
I'm going to read through the super chats and this is what I want for you, Mike.
We don't have much time left in the episode.
In fact, we're over time.
Think of, if you can't think of a top 10, think of a top five to rattle off.
I'm going to read these super chats and then we'll throw to you.
Top five.
Jameson writes in and it says, Gears 5 story was great.
I don't care what anyone says.
Albert Soie writes in and it says, hello, Mike and blessing.
I am treating you two to magic pre-release event at GameLandia this Wednesday or Thursday.
Your choice.
Will you two be able to make it?
No, we will not be able to make it.
Me and Mike are gone.
Damn it.
I mean, you'll be.
Is your Thursday busy?
You want to try to make it happen?
Well, no, my Thursdays, I'm being Oakland.
Tell me.
Albert, let's go to the next one.
The next one, blessing and I will commit to coming.
We'd love that.
Are you kidding me?
We'll be in Oakland.
Oh, my.
Literally.
Not even figuratively.
literally I will be in open.
Want us to play so bad.
It's so much fun.
Who said that, Albert?
Albert, yes.
Thank you for the invite.
Yeah, me and Mike will be gone on Wednesday, sadly.
But that does sound fun.
I missed the pre-release this last time,
but we appreciate that.
That's very kind of you.
Kobe Arndt says,
I think top 10 will include in no order,
Halo 3, Gears 1, Fable 2, Mass Effect,
Cod4, Cotor, Oblivion,
Bowshok, Limbo, and A-Forts of Horizon.
Skyler Thor. See, I'm going to pause there and say,
Ports of Horizon is an interesting one.
Because I think what they'll try to do is spread out
Fort's or Horizons through the list.
And I don't think that will make sense.
Because Fort's of Horizons are the exact same level of qualities.
Yes.
Forced or Horizon, if like, let's say if you put it in like the number 11 or whatever,
numbers 11 through 14 should all just be different entries of Forte Horizon.
Yeah.
They're kind of, they're the same game and they're all fucking magnificent.
Wouldn't it be cool to be the four?
To Horizon DJ.
Oh, I love that.
Wouldn't it be so much fun?
I mean, you would be a perfect fit.
I would love that.
We got to hit somebody up and be like, yo, how do we get snow bike?
Snowbike mic radio in there.
Let us have some fun.
We need to be on a TV radio.
Yeah, oh my God.
Come on.
Have a talk show.
KF radio talk show.
Like WCTR?
Gary Winner, just a ramble.
Gary Winner, GTA radio, he just rambles all day.
That'd be fucking sick.
Oh, I would love that so much.
I don't know if we would be appropriate for the age rating for Fort
Horizon, but that'd be very fun.
Skyler Thor says Microsoft flight simulator
got to be on here, right? Yeah.
Flight Sim.
Flight Sim has been on there. Flight Sim has.
Flight Sim is so much fun.
What a great time. Mike,
what do you think is at the top of this list?
Are you ready for this, Blest? Yep.
Halo, do you want numbers?
Yeah, numbers. Just franchise as fuck.
Yeah, I want specific entries. No way.
Are you ready for this? My top 10.
No particular order, because I'm not going to order these right now,
because I'm putting numbers on them.
Halo 1, Halo 3.
will take up two spots.
Gears 1 will take up a spot.
Cotor will take up a spot. Mass Effect will take up a spot.
Okay. That's five. Mass Effect one. Mass Effect one will take up a spot.
Ow. Oblivion will take up a spot. Fawtza Horizon will take up a spot. I don't know.
Sunset Overdrive will take up a spot. No, it will not.
People hold that game too high in regards. Blessing it's not.
People hold that.
That game will be...
They're going to put that one through 25.
No.
They will put it one through 25.
Sunset Overdrive will be number 55.
God, I hope.
Number 55, I'm sniping it right now.
17.
I'm not mad at that.
I mean, I'm mad at that
because I don't have any horse in the race
with Sunset Overdrive
or not played the game.
I just know the game.
They hold that game too high.
Number 55 is what I'm saying.
Yeah, I like that.
Do you have any...
Is that the fullest?
Do you have one more to say?
I have one more, but I don't have it on top of my head.
It's so exciting.
There's so many games.
There's too many number games as well.
I'm going to say pentamint.
Ventimitt is that number 10?
Or Splitter's Cell Chaos Theory.
What are the other?
Splinter Cell Chaos Theory 1 through 25?
Yes.
Okay.
This is me repeating
things I've heard Alex Van Aiken say.
Because Alex Van Aiken, big Xbox fan.
Loves Xbox.
When we were doing OKBC,
was the Xbox style on the crew.
This motherfucker loves Splitter's Cell Chaos Theory.
I'd be fucking up some Splinter Cell.
I just finished two of them.
Have you played Chaos Theory yet?
There's the next one.
Dude.
And Pandora tomorrow.
He could not stop talking about spies versus Merks.
Oh shit.
Yeah.
Like that was a big factor.
And so people like that.
People love spies versus Merks.
People love the kind of funny games guys.
They get so much from listening and watching right here on YouTube.com slash
kind of funny games.
That's going to bring us to the end of this show.
I'm going to convene with Mike and Greg Miller to figure out how we finish the second part of this.
Once all of IGN's list is out because, man, let me tell you,
some content right here. But of course, each every weekday, we get together and talk about the
biggest reviews, previews, and topics in video games live on YouTube, Twitch and all podcast
services around the globe. Support us on Patreon or YouTube or Apple or Spotify with the kind
of funny membership to get your shows ad free and also get Greg Weir, our exclusive daily show.
Right after this, we're doing kind of funny podcasts with the crew, and then after that, it's going to be
a fun stream. But until next time, it's been our pleasure to serve you.
