the first THUG game felt old during the 360's time, that shit is hard retro by now.
THUG and Burnout 3 were games made for the original Xbox/PS2 in 2003-2004. The usual rule for whether a game is retro is that the game must be at least 15 years old.

I didn't know the 360 was backward compatible
I thought it was, but the backwards compatibility sucked and only worked for certain games or something like that

I'll accept THPS2 as somewhat retro
I'm aging into being torn about being old, but also being excited at the prospect of introducing "the youth" to cool old shit they don't know about.
yeah and our generation actually has cool shit to share. any time someone from a previous generation before us tried to share something that was "cool and old" it ended up just being racist
going back to our own cool old stuff and finding out it was also racist 
"Sonny, I know you love your Forts Knights or whatever, but have you heard of Halo 2? This was before loot boxes you see..."
but also being excited at the prospect of introducing "the youth" to cool old shit they don't know about.
Try me.
Oh jeeze, the sudden pressure....
uh ... y'all ever hear about Bio-Booster Armor Guyver? Or the two live action adaptations, the first of which blows ass and false-advertises Mark Hamil (of liberalism fame) as the main character, and the second of which (The Guyver: Dark Hero) stars David Hayter (most famous for voicing Solid Snake in the Metal Gear Solid series) as the protagonist "Sean" (the cracker-fication of "Sho Fukamachi").
The basic idea is that a guy gets implanted with an alien parasite that turns into bio-mechanical armor (the titular "Guyver"), but there's this evil corporation of shape-shifting mutants / aliens that also want it, so the plot basically turns into a mix of X-Files but also sometimes he turns into a fucking robot-alien man and explodes monsters with his titty-cannons.
EDIT: The first half of the older anime adaptation (by good ol' MANGA home video!) is available on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWiPz9C7tmq7-Rj2KR7M4EQDb-U0GqBMh
Thank you very much, old man!

THUG is an OG Xbox title. It's like retro retro.
I remember playing Burnout Paradise as a wee'un and loving it, that was the only Burnout game I ever played. Burnout 3 came out a few years before Paradise and I never really heard about it so I guess it was "before my time".
Burnout 3 is probably the best burnout game, it's not open world like paradise, but everything else is better in my opinion. Though my opinion could be clouded by nostalgia.

Burnout Paradise, while a great game, doesn't even have Crash Mode, which was one of the best parts of the original Burnouts.
I also feel like an odd one out about the Burnout games, but that's because I played Burnout Revenge instead of Burnout 3, and apparently those are different games?
360 is for sure entering retro territory
I played those games as a kid and I'm only in my mid 20s... Burnout 3 was the first proper console game I got, in a bundle with Need For Speed Underground 2 and a PlayStation 2 for Christmas.
I still play the shit out of burnout 3 now with emulation being really good these days.
burnout 3 fuckin fucks
