Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night (Deck) - not sure how I missed this, its a great metroidvania 2d platfomer

I played Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 on a PAL Xbox 360 last night and some Age of Empires 2.

I take it all of the Xbox systems are region locked?

The xbox 360 is. Going forward they are not. Some xbox 360 imports will play on a NTSC box.

I have 2 PAL 360's and 2 NTSC-J 360's.

Is the Xbox region locked?

The Xbox 360 is region locked. Some of the games are not and can be played on any region system. 99% of the games are region locked.

The Xbox One and Xbox Series consoles are not region locked.

Been a while since I checked in. Some highlights from the last few months:

Saturnalia - An indie horror game that really took me by surprise. A little janky but I really enjoyed it.

Tormented Souls - Again, another janky indie horror game that I really enjoyed.

Dead Space Remake - I started this a few months ago and got sidetracked by other games, but I've recently come back to it. Really enjoying it!

Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom - I really enjoyed this! My favorite Zelda game in a long time.

Silent Hill 2 Remake - As a big fan of the original, this remake surpassed my expectations. Easy GOTY for me.

Vampire Survivors - A bit late to the party on this one, but I was pretty addicted to this game for about a week. Really fun, did everything I wanted to do in the game and moved on.

TMNT Splintered Fate - A fun TMNT themed roguelike with a lot of inspiration from Hades. After finishing one run, the difficulty has spiked quite a bit and I feel like I'm starting to lose interest, but I'm gonna keep going for now.

Wild Arms - I started this over two years ago and got sidetracked, but I've recently picked it up from where i left off. I was worried it might be kind of a slog to finish this one, but I'm really enjoying it right now. Probably about 3/4 of the way through it.

The Plucky Squire - A recently released indie game that I had high hopes for. It's not bad, but I do find it to be a bit too light and simplistic for my tastes.

Paratopic - A short indie game with a nonsensical disjointed story and almost no gameplay. This just shouldn't even exist.

Nobody Saves the World - Really fun action/adventure/RPG sorta thing where you can transform into different creatures with different abilities. Played the entire thing in co-op and had a great time with it!

Mario Party 2 - Got to play this online with a couple of friends thanks to the NSO. Played through all of the different boards and it was a lot of fun! We're planning on moving to Mario Party 3 next.
