Default Best Games For The Xbox

As many of you are aware, developers will no longer be making games for the original Xbox. As a way to remember all the fantastic games that have graced this fine console, I want everyone who has ever or still owns an xbox to list their favourite games. Give reasons and if possible pictures.

Well im glad that they have stopped making Xbox games. I think they should stop making ANY type of "non next- gen" games and focus soley on the new hardware thats available. With that said, my favorite Xbox game of all time was easily The Chronicles of Riddick : Escape from Butcher Bay.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
http://xbox.ign.com/objects/480/480687.html



This is probably the most memorable game on the Xbox. At least for me it is.
It brought Star Wars back to the forefront of the videogaming world.
It has a great cast of characters, who are each memorable in their own way. It also has one of the most menancing villians in any video game and in the Star Wars Universe: Darth Malak.

LOL!
How could I forget about Chronicles of Riddick? It's one of the most intense and cinematic games I've ever played.
You may want to fix your post, it looks like a bunch of gibberish.

Neither of the KOTOR games play on the XBOX 360 do they? Cause I'd die to play one of them right now.

I've got both KOTOR 1 & 2 and frankly I find them both pretty slow and tedious. That said I was never a fan of these types of RPG.

Chronicles of the Riddick however was an immense gaming experience

The ONLY thing i disliked about KOTOR was the combat, i found it just to be aweful. Loooved the story tho, fantastic.

All Star Wars games are backwards compatible with the 360.
I have all of the Star Wars games that came out on the Xbox, and I tested them all before I left for college in Jan.

If you want great FPS, get Republic Commando. It's a lot darker and violent than a normal Star Wars game.
The squad element in the game works better than most games with that function (I'm looking at you, Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter)

I tried a demo of Republic Commando once. It was sexy as hell. May have to pick it up too.

Beyond Good and Evil- one of the most under-rated game of last gen. Excellent story, great gameplay, great music. A real gem.

Psychonauts- same reasons stated above.

More will come as I think of them

Beyond Good and Evil is one of my favorite games.
I wish there was a sequel to expand upon the ending. I was a little bit confused after it.

^I haven't played Psychonauts, but I know it's brilliant game.
We could get sequels one day. I'd like to see the world expanded in BGE. ?It would be interesting if they brought in space travel.
We know that a huge galaxy is possible on the 360, just look at Mass Effect.

I'm gonna add another game.
Fable and Fable: The Lost Chapters.
http://xbox.ign.com/objects/016/016526.html
http://xbox.ign.com/objects/744/744417.html

Though the game never lived up Molyneux's hype, It's still one of the best RPG's out there. It created a living world that almost rivals Tamriel of Elder Scrolls IV. It's one of the most gorgeous games from any system.
The final choice you have to make at the end is a killer.

I wasn't really a big fan of the fighting system used in KOTOR, but did learn to get used to it. It was fun slowly descending to the dark side while my every "good" person I met was blissfully unaware, just like the prequels. Gotta pick up KOTOR 2 one of these days.

Knights of the Old Republic-Reintroduced me to RPG games. In a world of Final Fantasy and me not being able to give off months of my life to this game, KOTOR hooked me into it. Now I'm looking forward to Mass Effect.

Splinter Cell Series-I love Metal Gear but Splinter Cell is different enough to be able to set itself apart from it. Love these games.

Crimson Skies-Two words to describe this game fun and addicting.

Hitman-You can slaughter everyone or go on like a ghost and kill the intended person.

I'd really like to see KOTOR and Crimson Skies sequels to eventually come to the 360.

I loved Hitman, it was hard as ****, but it is the only game that I can actually say makes you strategize your plan of attack before you start, without a solid route, you will not make it out alive.
