I haven't used my xbox much either (bought in January, it's my only modern game console unless you include Dreamcast). I wasn't sure what to get, so went for the budget titles ($5~$20 new/used) in hopes of getting lucky.

Panzer Dragoon Orta is a good shooter with uniquely designed excellent graphics and great soundtrack.

Mad Dash Racing, although it hasn't gotten great reviews, I think is lots of fun. Think Mario Kart, but with foot racing on 1 long track (no laps) per stage, a techno\rock soundtrack (provided by some big names like Moby, Fatboy Slim, etc), and a much crazier style (360's through tunnels, sudenly going from racing, to swimming or skiing down a slope, and then back to racing again). It's also 4 player compatible

I've played some Project Gotham racing and it seems like a good game, and some House of the Dead 3 which seems good too. The next game I wanna sink my teeth into is Onimusha- think Resident Evil with samurai and Japanese monsters.

If you have any interest in sports games, I found NBA Live 2002 easy to get into.

I've got some others sitting around but hardly played yet. For other reviews try here:

Cool, thanks everyone. The only games I have were bought back when I bought the unit. I have Midway Arcade Treasures, and Silent Hill 4. I'm an old school gamer who grew up when Mortal Kombat was in its heyday. This is why I bought the Midway Arcade Treasures. I bought Silent Hill because I remember it from the original playstation, but it's sort of boring. I'll try out these games.

Ninja Gaiden > * Well you may as well just get Ninja Gaiden Black now


After that I'd include: Jade Empire, Forza Motorsport, Fight Night, any of the EA or ESPN sports games are good cause its 4 player standard, so Madden, NHL, Tiger Woods are all a blast. Halo 2 is pretty fun multiplayer, but as a shooter its pathetic compared to PC shooters. Far Cry or HL2 (soon) are much better for a single-player FPS (unsure on Far Cry multiplayer).

 

[CrackRabbit]

Some of my favorites
Mechassault 1 & 2
Halo 1 & 2
Ninja Gaiden
Outlaw Golf

 

[rainypickles]

doesnt really look like a top 10 list, but stuff i liked: burnout 3, psychonauts, sid meiers pirates, prince of persia: sands of time, prince of persia warrior within, xmen legends

 

[jfall]

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
Project Gotham Racing 2
Ninja Gaiden
Soulcalibur II
Halo
Halo 2
Burout Revenge
Fight Night Round 2
Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow
Forza Motorsport

 

[RebelDog]

Halo and Halo II are musts. MotoGP II is cool. Mechassault, I didn't really dig. Tiger Woods 2005 is the bomb, MUCH better than the PC version which has a really screwed up version of the swing control which I DIDN'T enjoy at all. There's always Doom 3. Ummmm..... Sudeki is a kinda cool RPG but I'm not so much into those so I'm not really qualified to comment. Any of the Tony Hawk games is a kick to play for awhile.

 

[SoundTheSurrender]

I don't think Xbox could even have a top 3.

Yep..Jade Empire, Forza, and Fight Night have to be up there.

Underrated? When most of the top10 lists contain sports games and pc ports, I don't see how wrong anyone possibly is. It's funny, for such a hyped console, people have a really tough time coming up with a decent top 10 list. Everyone must be too busy running their Xbox has a media PC.

 

[AdamSnow]

I've enjoyed these for a while... as in they haven't made me bored.

Forza
Mercenaries (kinda boring, but fun to blow stuff up)

If you want a fun multiplayer game you should try the latest WORMS game...

 

[Vampirrella]

im a sucker for the sport games

Madded 06
NCAA Football 06
NBA Live 06

of course if you hate EA and want to boycot them, these wouldnt be a good choice to buy hehe

 

[karioskasra]

Dead or Alive 3. For the ... physics, of course.

 

[spacelord]

Burnout 3
Kotor (I havn't played 2..)
Halo 1 & 2
PGR2

 

[dguy6789]

Not in any particular order:

Halo
Halo 2
Project Gotham Racing 2
Grand Theft Auto Double Pack
Jade Empire
Far Cry Instincts
Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay

 

[blazerazor]

I you buy ONE game for the xbox it needs to be KOTOR

That game truly rocks and is worth playing thru twice.

 

[Stretchman]

Fable.

And when it is finally released...Starcraft: Ghost.

 

[LanceM]

I have such a hard time choosing between my top 10 (it'd end up being a top 15-20), so I'll list a top 5 (in no particular order):

Ninja Gaiden
KotoR
Burnout 3
Halo
Splinter Cell: PT


Fairly well-rounded, I'd say. Toss in DoA: U and you're set for quite a few genres.

 

[m3rcury]

Ninja Gaiden, Halo 2, Halo.

If I'd played any other games, I'd have an opinion of them. (I dont play/buy a game till I know its good)

 

[Rookie]

Burnout 3... haven't played revenge yet but very fun multiplayer!

 

[Molondo]

Don't waste your money on halo 2, pretty much the same stuff only shorter.
