"Round one... FIGHT... er, DANMAKU! SHOOT! DASH! ... umm, ALL OF THE ABOVE! In this episode of Bullet Heaven HD we take a look at the genre bending WarTech: Senko no Ronde for the Xbox 360. Is this fusion of Fighter and Shmup a worthy entrant, or will it fall flat in the arena?"

Rice Digital's ILJG explores some of the 360's more obscure Japanese Exclusives
I honestly couldn't understand why people would continue to deal with a console that constantly broke down or had as many hardware issues as the Xbox 360.
Xbox 360 does have quite a number of noteworthy JRPGs. However if you were really into JRPGs, then DS, PSP, Wii and PS3 were the best platforms last generation for that genre.
I really want Microsoft to make the console region free in a future Dashboard update.
Best at breaking down. My Xbox Slim I bought in 2011 the motherboard is bad while my PS3 from 2008 is still going strong. I still have games on my hard drive I haven't even played yet not to mention the games I bought my daughter :( Does anyone knows where I can find a brand new 4 GB slim? My daughter wants my 360 when I'm finished beating the games for it.
Hardcore Gamer: For a console that bombed in Japan, the Xbox 360 certainly got some really unlikely (and almost loyal) support from a select few developers over there, primarily in the form of exclusive shmup releases. Owning a Japanese Xbox 360 is actually quite worthwhile if you’re shmup aficionado, and there’s other quirky releases like Idol M@aster and a couple of weird anime fighting games. A lot of these are region locked, with the occasional region free release, but over the years some of these titles did make their way outside of Japan. Some were appreciated, like Akai Katana and DoDonPachi, but others just did not have an audience outside the native territory. The one under the spotlight in this edition of The Bin is Wartech: Senko no Ronde.
This is one of the most underrated games of the Xbox 360 generation. Nobody wanted to give it the time it needed to be appreciated.
D+PAD Writes:
For a student constantly on the lookout for cheap games to play and not really wanting to buy full-priced new releases, second-hand shops and Xbox Live Arcade seemed the perfect solution. Some purchases were really not worth playing, but there were some real gems that turned up from time to time – some of which were clearly at their best when played multiplayer, but had nobody online because perhaps they had not been critical successes, or had been out so long everyone had lost interest. So it’s time to fight the fight for these obscure games – and if people can get them and play them, it can only be a good thing!
