Two decades later: the Xbox 360 games that shaped culture, community, and a generation of play

The Xbox 360, arguably Microsoft’s best attempt at a console, turned twenty years old recently, and it definitely makes me feel old. I remember getting mine in primary school as a reward for good behavior, which turned out to be quite ironic, as I was expelled from school the same day and sent home.

I still managed to talk my way into unboxing it and setting it up. For those first couple of years, the Xbox 360 was mainly an offline experience for me, and it didn’t really come alive until 2007.
