I like Munch's Oddyssee so far, but I prefer Abe's on the PS1, of course. I also am enjoying the Namco and Atari collections - Galaga and Centipede ftw! Other than that, there's only a handful of titles that I have for the XBOX: Psychonauts, Red Faction II, Fable, Full Spectrum Warrior, and now GTA III (gained courtesy of Hobie-wan). I have a Mad Catz mini controller, though, so it's not as clunky in my hand.
Re: Does anyone still play with the original xbox?
I'll play mine from time to time. I picked up a ton of games for cheap when stores were trying to clear out stock, so I have a good sized backlog. If there's a multiplatform game from that generation I want, I'll usually try to find the Xbox version rather than PS2 or Gamecube.
I used to try to play the Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix series games on a daily basis. I still think they're the best home versions of DDR out there, especially with a fancy Cobalt Flux platform (which I have). At the moment, I don't have room to conveniently play, but I'd like to start again.
The only problem I have with the system is that some games don't let you back up save data on a memory card. And I'm afraid that if my hard drive ever dies, I'll loose my DDR DLC and never be able to recover it, in addition to save files. :/

I usually just play a ton of emulators on mine since I'm way too lazy to hook up all my consoles. I definitely use it a lot more as a media center though.
Re: Does anyone still play with the original xbox?
i still do too. have about 50 titles for it. i'm in the middle of playing XIII right now and am addicted to it. beyond that, Forza, outrun 2, the splinter cell series are all great solid titles. plus, i have a 2TB HDD under da hood

I still play Halo 1, Steel Battalion, Crimson Skies, and Gauntlet Dark Legacy. But Halo 1 is about to be replaced on the 360, Crimson Skies has been replaced by Dogfighter on the PC, and Steel Battalion is battling Mech Warrior 4 for my mech time. Gauntlet Dark Legacy still doesnt have competition from a modern console though.

Re: Does anyone still play with the original xbox?
My wife purchased a $40 reconditioned oXbox for Christmas two years ago, and I love it. I spent some serious time with the Ninja Gaiden, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Chronicles of Riddick, and the single-player campaign on Halo: Combat Evolved, and I am looking forward to spending some time with GunValkyrie, Half-Life 2, Halo 2, and Knights of the Old Republic, among many others.
Most of all though, I love that it is so easy and inexpensive to collect oXbox games. Many of the pawn shops here in Charlotte were selling oXbox games for $3 regardless of title, and the local Play 'n Trades had $5 oXbox games buy-two-get-one-free. Needless to say, I accumulated a sizable library of titles fairly quickly, and I am only trying to track down some of the system's rarest titles now.

Re: Does anyone still play with the original xbox?
I use mine very often. It's the only console hooked up to the big TV in the living room. I'm finishing Psychonauts this week and loving every minute of it. I bought the Xbox this year with 176 games (PAL, all original) for 100 euros so I have a huge library of titles to go through. I also bought a softmodded Xbox to play the few rarer titles which I can't afford at the moment and to use as an emulation console for my kids.
Btw, I find the original chunky controller very comfortable and use it constantly even though I have the smaller version as well.

Re: Does anyone still play with the original xbox?
Yep. I play all the awesome Sega games on my Xbox still along with Ninja Gaiden Black & Steel Battalion.
Re: Does anyone still play with the original xbox?
Im so far behind with my consoles so yes I still play all the last gen stuff on Xbox, GC, DC & PS2.
Of the Xbox I like, PGR2, (so much so Im on my third playthrough!), Panzer Orta, Richard Burns Rally, (so hard on expert), Outrun 2, Forza, (75% complete), Doom 3.
I have tried to play and Halo so much, but I just cant seem to get into it, cant see what all the fuss is about!
Like others I like the fact that the games are so cheap, however I think Ive got all the ones I want now...
