10 Forgotten Xbox 360 Games You Should Play In 2020

In a world where practically every game with a harder approach than most is considered a "Dark Souls clone", it's easy to lose sight of what came before.

Ninja Gaiden saw its revival on the original Xbox, but it was the next generation sequel that really ramped up the challenge.

Building on what made its predecessor b*stard hard, Ninja Gaiden 2 doubled down on what the 2004 reboot offered.

More gore, more weapon variety, as well as a bucketload more challenge for those who sought it.

What better time now, in an age where people are completing FromSoftware games with dance mats and guitar peripherals, to delve back into some classic challenge?

Again, like Souls games, it takes a while to adjust to dying a lot, at least initially. But when you start nailing the combat, that sweet spot of timing with blocking and parrying, it just clicks.

The series may have dropped off the radar after Ninja Gaiden 3 simplified everything and removed all the fun, but don't let that put you off.

If you want something to tide you over until Elden Ring, then Team Ninja's got you covered.
