Just got an Xbox... what games should I get
(1/4) > >>

My friend gave me his old original Xbox but there were no games and now I have to buy some. I completely ignored the Xbox platform when it came out so I have no idea what is available for it.
I plan on picking up Halo 1 and 2 since i've never experienced them but other than that I don't know what else to look for. I'm really into JRPGs but am willing to try anything if its a great story and good price. So I ask you for your recommendations; What are some good exclusive titles that I can pick up for a good price.

Congratulations on the XBox. It can be the perfect starter system for a JRPG fan. This is because the system is a lot of times valued enough to be able to be traded for a playstation, which has a ton of JRPG games. Just kidding.

But seriously, the xbox is not rich in JRPG games. In fact, I can't think of a single one. It has some good western RPG games, if you have not played games like Mass Effect, give Knights of the Old Republic a try. You might like it.

I could list some games, but there are some great resources. We are currently making a list of the best 100 xbox games. So, check that thread out. Also racketboy has some good game suggestions. I would suggest reading these and seeing what looks interesting. The xbox is a great system.

-Fable

-Justice League: Heroes
-Knights of the Old Republic 1 & 2
-Marvel: Ultimate Alliance
-X-Men Legends 1 & 2

And it has other great exclusives:
