Just got an original xbox

Post by mas »

Hi everyone,
I went to a local gamestop and a buddy that I know that works there gave me an original xbox with 7 or 8 games. Star wars battlefront 1 and 2, resevoir dogs, halo 2, star wars republican commando, crimson skies, and outrun 2.
Now I am Mostly just down to a few systems that i play for myself. Dreamcast and nes. I do have a ps3 and a wii but those are my kids so I dont count them and I own a psp for handheld.
Now I haven't played any xbox games for at least a solid year 1/2 and my modded xbox has been in the closet since that time. So is there any reason to keep the original xbox? Like what games still look great and any games that haven't been ported over to psn or wii?
Also curious on how much xbox games go for these days and if anyone still plays xbox today since everything is preety much ported over to xbla or psn. I almost feel like the xbox is turning out to be the sega dreamcast.

Ohh don't get me wrong, I love the dc. It just seems like all the games that people loved on the dc has been ported over or has an upgrade. That's the way I think about the original xbox. That's why I'm asking what games are only on the xbox and who still plays it.

Otogi 1 & 2, Steel Battalion, Metal Wolf Chaos. Several enhanced versions of games like Silent Hill 2, Onimusha, Bloody Roar Extreme, lots of others I can't think of. There's also a good Xbox modding community that has made soft modding an Xbox very much worth the time giving it access to several emulators and homebrew ports.

I'd give a limb for Otogi 3.

This. Also, Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay is hard to beat.

Conker's bad fur day, it plays SO much better than in the N64 version it is more censored though... if you don't mind that pick it up.
MechAssasult, you ride on a mech and blow stuff up.
Grabbed by the goulies, now this one is a like it or hate it game. I found it fun for what it is (i haven't played all yet)
Dead or alive 1,2,3
I also recommend Call of Cthulhu awesome game
Brute Force 3rd person shooter with a optional 4 player coop
You can also check the hidden gems section.
If you like Shenmue there's shenmue 2 on the xbox (i guess the DC version only got released in Europe and Japan right?)
The xbox got a good portion of ports from PC games.

This is a great moment for buying xbox games since they're cheap, not ALL the games are being ported, also the console can play freaking mame (when is modded or soft modded) if that not enough reason to you to get this then you should just sell it.

I don't think it's the DC love you are referring to.
