Original Xbox Games Racketboy Readers Would Enjoy

Post by shwisha »

So the big black ugly xbox was a system I never got into. To me Halo was a joke and if you didn't want to play Halo it seemed pointless to buy an xbox. The funny thing is I now own a xbox 360, but times have changed.

Anyway my question is what games would a retro gaming fan enjoy on the Xbox machine (besides the classic game collections). I figure it might be worth picking up a few since they'll work on my 360.

I enjoy arcade style games(enjoying After Burner Climax on 360 right now), games that provide a truly unique gaming experience(been playing Mister Mosquito for PSX) and games that don't get much acclaim but turn out to be really fun(Just got Earth Defense Force 2017 and love it).

What would you suggest?

Thanks in advance!

Go there for starters.. I'm certain you'll find at least 10 games between the three lists that you'll enjoy..

And really, you can get oXbox games so cheaply anymore that it would be worth it to just blindly pick up a few used online or from auction lots and just discover a new favorite that way..

Genma Onimusha (a remixed ver. of the PS2 title)

Aside from what's already been suggested, I'd recommend Jade Empire. I feel KOTOR is better on the PC due to the interface, but since Jade Empire is very much an action RPG it works very well with the controller.
