Let's take a moment to talk about the original Xbox.

[Xeogred]

It's not an exclusive, but the Xbox version of Fatal Frame far superior to the PS2 original in my opinion. I've played through both, and the Xbox port looked crisper (makes sense given the hardware superiority, though I played both versions through component cables) and controlled better. I haven't started Fatal Frame II yet (though I'm playing through the Wii remake of that first), but I imagine it will be a similar story.

Fatal Frame 2 actually sounds like an even bigger deal, with a first person mode, and a lot more additional content. The first game has aged a little roughly (replayed it just a few years back myself), but I still think 2 is incredible so that's one I definitely want to get on the Xbox now too. I'll double dip for Silent Hill 2 and 4 as well since I love them.

Nice. I could probably add five more on that list for you easy. But I'll give your bank account a break for now.

I am just going to state that I do believe the Xbox was and still is a great console... especially a modded one

[TEKTORO]

Someone's got the Xbox bug.
If you have money for all of it go for it nice list, I would trim down and put more focus on the ones you really want first and then revisit to see if you want it all still.

I've owned, played all that jazz on your list and I know some of it is tempting but I can also tell your putting every possible game you might want too, since I do the same exact thing. Lol

I'd like to share my definitive collection with some opinion, but if you have any specific info on some games let me know!

Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance (1st ones a classic no need for the 2nd unless you absolute love it).

Castlevania Curse of Darkness, Many people haven't caught on yet that this is the closet your getting to a 3D SOTN. I love it but requires dedication.

Elder Scrolls Morrowing-Creating a character in this one gets me all the time and I love how it starts as well as the PC feel.

Gemma Onimusha- Especially if PS2 is not an option for you.

Gladius & Goblin Commander-Both games very under appreciated and recommended on any system.

GTA III, Vice City, San Andreas
Indigo Prophecy-Great for people who like unique games with excellent story telling.

Leisure Suit Larry MCL-Will always be my smutty guilty pleasure.

LOTR 3rd Age- Why Does no one mention this turn base RPG, I've loved it for years now.

MTG Battlegrounds- can't really recommend but suits my collection/taste.

Manhunt
Max Payne
Medal of Honor- Specifically Rising Sun & European Assualt.

Ninja Gaiden- Great game but unlocking 1,2,3 is what's clutch for me.

Obscure-Cult Classic and I like the all the B grade feel of it.

Panzer Dragoon Orta- Must, Must.
Pitfall Lost Expeditions- bought this for TR2016 has pitfall 1&2 as well.

Silent Hill 2 & 4- Notable how great 2 is on Xbox, I believe later on the PS2 GH version is this version?

Still Life- Not perfect but solid, trippy horror point & click nice atmosphere as well as clever puzzles that can be confusing.

Taito Legends- Mainly for Rainbow Islands/Ninja Kids plus a few others.

Timesplitters Future Perfect is most likely all you'll need and is pretty much the best FPS ever made I kid you not.

Tony Hawk 2x
Unreal Championship- right under TSFP for me.

Wrath Unleashed- strategy-tactical board game which I haven't had the time to dive into yet plus I need the manual to further understand but I haven't sold it yet may say something. Lol

Like I said I've played plenty of Xbox so if your not sure about a certain game on your list let me know, I'll be happy to share my feedback.

How does the Xbox port of Onimusha stack up against the PS2 original? I've only played it on PS2, but I'm a big fan of the series, so I might pick it up for Xbox eventually if you guys recommend it.

From Wikipedia:

"The Xbox version contains many updates to the game including enhanced graphics, new 5.1 Dolby Digital audio, new explorable areas, a new boss, new costumes and body armor, changes in enemy placements, and a three-tier charge attack to each weapon. Additionally, the inclusion of green souls adds a new dimension to the game. When five green souls are in the player's possession, the player can activate temporary invulnerability with a slow health recharge. Players frequently have to enter tug-of-war scenarios with the enemies over the possession of green souls; if a green soul is absorbed by a demon, the demon will gain new attacks and they will also see a dramatic increase in their defense. They will also release a greater number of souls upon death."

The part I underlined is what breaks the balancing of the game and ruined the Xbox version for me. I went back to the PS2 version and had a better time.

One of the best things about the Xbox is that even the rarest and most expensive games are not that rare or that expensive. I "completed" my Xbox collection last year, and it really wasn't that difficult or expensive to get all the games I wanted.

Also - and in light of the fact that so many of the system's best games have been ported to other systems - these are the console-exclusive games that anyone with an Xbox collection really must own:

Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth (amazing FPS/surival horror hybrid)
Ninja Gaiden Black (the best version of the best game in the series)
Otogi
Otogi 2
Panzer Dragoon Orta
Phantom Dust
Tecmo Classics Arcade
Taito Legends 2 (PAL only, but region-free; contains some amazing games not found in the PS2 version)
