Flashback
Take a look back to the past with an exclusive feature; the Flashback.
Flashback – Metal Arms: Glitch in the System
Who’s your Daddy? His name is Glitch. One small bot. Two big nuts of steel. Seventeen enormous weapons of destruction to take out a mechanical madman and save his planet. Metal Arms flashes in the Flashback series for July. Looking back at this game makes me realize why I enjoyed the movie Wall-E so much because the [...]
Flashback – Breakdown
It’s Friday so why not Flashback to another interesting title from the Xbox days. Namco’s Breakdown may have been victim of being too ambitious for its time.

Flashback – Azurik: Rise of Perathia

The four of these characters starred in one of the best top-down action games on the console, Hunter: The Reckoning. They each had [...]
Flashback – Brute Force
Time for another Flashback. Out of all the Xbox owners out there, there shouldn’t be many who don’t remember this title. Brute Force was perhaps the most controversial release for the original Xbox because of the mixed reception that it received. The marketing behind it lead everyone to believe that it would turn the gaming [...]
Flashback – Tao Feng: Fist of the Lotus
I thought it would be a lot of fun to introduce a new feature to U360 called Flashback. It’s a look back at the good old days of gaming on the original Xbox. It’s a look at what once got us super excited (or not) and what we once thought was “teh awesome” (or not). I’ll be including a “Next-Gen [...]
