    I decided to dust off the Xbox 360 and played a couple games that aren’t available on the new consoles. I also gave it a refresh with new thermal paste, bearing oil for the fan and a good clean. It’s running great now.

    Burnout Crash, it’s a top down version of crash mode from the main games.

    Swarm, you collect 50 swarmites and make your way through the levels using student abilities.

      The 360 definitely has to be my overall favourite console. I’ve been meaning to give mine a good refresh but I’m not very experienced. How’d the process go? Any tips? Mine is put away right now but I’ll be moving in about a month and I’ll probably be setting up my 360 in the new place, so I’d like it in nice running order.

      Also, do you know much about controllers? I wouldn’t mind getting a new 360 controller but something’s telling me Microsoft isn’t making the official ones anymore, have you tried any after market ones?

        I have the slim model and it was surprisingly easy with a good tutorial video and a set or torx screwdrivers.

        As for controllers I also did that too with a good clean and new thumbsticks but sorry can’t help with any 3rd party recommendations.
