Original Xbox Games

[JackandTom]

Recently I bought an old Xbox for a cheap price, mainly to play Xbox games that aren't playable on my 360, like James Bond: Everything or Nothing. Anyway, I don't have that many games for it at the moment and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions?

 

[Radeonx]

KotOR and Morrowind are must haves.

 

[Irridium]

Timesplitters 2 and Timesplitters Future Perfect.
The greatest games ever made.

Spoiler

Massive Timesplitters fanboyism aside, I also suggest the following:

Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath
Beyond Good and Evil
Fable: The Lost Chapters
Kingdom Under Fire: Heroes
Spartan Total Warrior
Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30

 

[Twuk]

I believe they also ported Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance for the original Xbox.

 

[BreakfastMan]

Here are some of my favorites:

Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay
Mechassault 1+2
Pyschonauts
Darkwatch
Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth
KOTOR 1+2

And many more that slip my mind at the moment. Dang it!

Fable: The Lost chapters (yes, there was a time when I would recommend a Fable game).

Knights of the Old Republic I and II (Beware of II, though. It's got some crazy glitched out audio among other issues).

Splinter cell: chaos Theory

You might want to check out Morrowind, but it hasn't aged well at all. I couldn't stick with it.

Psychonauts.

Beyond Good and Evil

 

[PunkyMcGee]

most of the worth while games like KotOR, are backwards compatible.

 

[Fenring]

Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay

You might want to get that on 360. It has a few graphical hiccups, but you get Dark Athena too.

Here's a short version of my list:
Gauntlet: Dark Legacy\
Fable
Star Wars: Republic Commando
Max Payne
Return to Castle Wolfenstein
Jade Empire
Silent Hill 2
Oddworld Munch?s Oddysey
Panzer Dragoon Orta
Tom Clancy?s Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
The Thing
Jet Set Radio Future

This is just my unplayed list.

 

[Wrath 228]

Urban Chaos: Riot Response (not a blockbuster, I know, but I like it!)
Mace Griffin Bounty Hunter
Operation Flashpoint
Ghost Recon Island Thunder

Yeah, my suggestions are a little out there, but others I was going to list were already listed.

A few of my old Xbox favourites: (some of these are backwards compatible)

Fahrenheit (called Indigo Prophecy in the US)
Far Cry Instincts and the sequel Far Cry Instincts Evolution
All the Splinter Cells
All the Hawk games up until American Wasteland
Just Cause (I know it got mixed reception, but I liked it!)
XIII is an alright FPS
GTA San Andreas

Psychonauts
Beyond Good and Evil
Timesplitters
Jet Set Radio Future
Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge
Those are fairly arcadey.
I also remember there being a Rainbow Six xbox version, it's not the same as Raven Shield, not really the best game ever, nowhere near as tactical as the first one, but definitely a lot more so than Vegas. 4 notches of health, limited special grenades for teammates, no revives for teammates (although they are incap., not dead) and limited save slots per level.

Splinter Cell Double Agent on xbox and PS2 is a completely different and less plot-holed game to the PC/360 version.
KoTOR is pretty good, maybe Jade Empire too, but if you are PC capable, FFS get KoTOR 2 on PC. Seriously. If you're in the US, good luck finding KoTOR 2 though, apparently it's online availability is less than adequate. Here in Ausland all the stores have it.

I'm guessing you mean Rainbow Six Lockdown? Yeah, that was good. Too hard for me though .

Timesplitters 2 and Timesplitters Future Perfect.
The greatest games ever made.

Spoiler

You beat me, damn you.

OT: You've got 966 to choose from according to Wikipedia. I never bought many games for it myself but Republic Commando and Timesplitters are good FPSes.

 

[AmbitiousWorm]

rally sport 2. voted "best" by me.
morrowind for sure
and the mech assault games

 

[Cheesus333]

Fable TLC, if it hasn't already been said. Or if it has, either way.

No, there were a few before it that were even harder. 'Rainbow Six 3' and 'Rainbow Six 3: Black Arrow'.

If you're interested "Everything or Nothing", then you really need to give "Nightfire" a look. Seriously, me, my brother and friends played this multiplayer more than Halo or any other title for the xbox.

Timesplitters is always worth a look as mentioned.

As an Oddworld fan I have to recommend "Stranger's Wrath" and "Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee" are pretty good to playthrough.

But still. Nightfire.

 

[HellspawnCandy]

Jade empire.

Oh yes, from what I've played, the early RB6 games are tough as nails.
Just remembered another one: Hitman Blood Money, if you haven't played on X360.
