I greatly appreciate the support!

The OG Xbox had ALOT of great titles, both exclusive and multiplatform. A fair number of the multiplatform ones were developed with the Xbox in mind, ported to PC and vice versa. In many ways the Xbox and PC versions were the ones to get (if you had the PC), and for the most part on parity in terms of overall look and feel, with the PS2 and GC versions often looking and playing much worse. I missed out on so many of those Xbox-centric games, as I didn't have either the Xbox or a decent PC to play them in 2005.

This series is about going back a decade to enjoy these games I now can play, at better resolution and often better graphics than the Xbox, thanks to modern PC hardware. However, it's not always about the graphics, and these titles still hold up very well today.

Let's take a trip down nostalgia lane with our first title: Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath, in it's HD form and the first version of this game available outside of the original Xbox, released in 2010 via Steam. This was one title that made me highly jealous of Xbox users, especially after the PS2 version was cancelled.
