Definitive list of Xbox games?

Post by **dudex77** » Mon Mar 17, 2008 8:38 am

I just came upon a shit load of cash and am now getting allowance which means I have money to buy games so I've decided that I need 28 of the best xbox games (amount the shelf can hold) I already have Fable the lost chapters, Halo 1 and 2, Rainbow six 3, Soul Calibur 2, Splinter Cell, and SSX Tricky. So for my next 22 games I think I'll go with these;
Alien Hominid
Beyond Good & Evil
Burnout Revenge
Conker: Live and Reloaded
Dead or Alive 3
Doom 3
Far Cry Instincts
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
GunValkyrie
Half-Life 2
Jet Set Radio Future
Just Cause
Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction
Ninja Gaiden Black
Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee
Panzer Dragoon Orta
Psychonauts
Sid Meier's Pirates!
Star Wars: Battlefront II
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
ToeJam & Earl III: Mission to Earth
Serious Sam
Anything important I'm missing? Any of these games actually utter shit(most of them I haven't played). Any help would be appreciated

Just cause and half life 2 suck on the xbox.

I suggest

Voodoo vince
KOTOR 1
and Jade Empire if you like bioware's rpg formula.
I enjoyed stranger's wrath so that might be worth a punt.
Streetfighter anniversary collection is awesome.
Forza Motorsport is really cool and so much better than GT4 was.
Outrun 2 is awesome, get SP if you can find it.
Serious Sam is also pretty cool if you like old fashioned FPS. The sequel is more upto date (as in slightly more story based) but it doesn't have the edge the first one had.
Far Cry instincts. I preferred the first one much more than the sequel\

thats all i can think of right now. I'm away from my xbox collection atm. I have nearly 50 games and don't have a single poor title.

I'm not a fan of racing games (tough I'll probably end up buying Outrun2 since it's made by SEGA) and The 2d fighting games I already have on my Dreamcast. What's wrong with Just Cause and Halflife 2 on the Xbox? My comp isn't good enough for HL2 so I figured I should get the Xbox version and I enjoyed Just Cause on the 360 so I figured it would be just as good but with shittier graphics. Voodoo vince, Serious Sam, and Jade empire were on my list of possibilities but I only want 22. What games should be replaced for those?

Tbh the only reason i wouldn't recommend HL2 or Just Cause is because they are much better on PC/360. If you've already played Just Cause i'd get KOTOR instead. If you enjoy RPG you'll get much more enjoyment out of KOTOR. As for the rest you have a pretty solid list. Gunvalkyrie is a bit hit and miss. It's nothing special but at the same time it's quite enjoyable as a third person shooter. Maybe you could exchange that for something better?

I'd also only get UC if you're getting xbox live, otherwise it's a bit rubbish.

I'm already getting KOTOR 2 so do I really need 1? I'm not replacing gunvalkyrie but I've heard Toejam and Earl 3 is shit. Am I right? I'm thinking of replacing UC for Serious Sam unless offline multiplayer is better in UC

KotOR 1 is WORLDS more polished than KotOR 2, and I'm of the mind that it's a better game overall.

OK so I'll get KOTOR 1 instead of 2 and I'm looking into genma onimusha but I need a game to switch it out for. Also I'm going to mod the shit out of my xbox so I don't want to buy fighting games that I can just emulate in the neo geo emulator or mame. I really want my Xbox to be the system I use but These controllers are going to get annoying for alot of things I think. Are there any good fighting pads or arcade sticks for it?

Edit: BTW I'm updating the list in my first post whenever I'm given a reason to.
