I'll recommend these titles:

Blinx
Guilty Gear XX: Midnight Carnival
Halo (of course)
Dead Or Alive 1 & 2 Ultimate, 3, & Beach Volleyball
Voodoo Vince Verde


I have a small collection of original XBOX games, but I would say those are my favourite.
deftommo:
Ninja Gaiden Black (for a decent challenge)
Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay
Halo 1 & 2 (why not...)
Dead or Alive 2 Ultimate (decent fighting game)
I remember Brute Force being pretty cool
Panzer Dragoon Orta

Is there a decent program set up for modding it? Im not very technical when it comes to stuff like that so would need some assistance!

I'm still pretty big into the Xbox modding scene so if you or anyone needs some tips or a point at some good resources shoot me a PM.

Modded Xbox is god tier as an all in one emulation machine.

Most Xbox hate is unfounded as it was a superior machine to the PS2 and GameCube in almost every way.

It is really easy to mod an Xbox. However, it also greatly shortens the lifespan of your Xbox. It just struggles a lot more reading all those different disc-formats. You could CLEARLY hear the difference after modding mine, and now mine is starting to go out. So weigh the good with the bad before deciding to mod it.

I just read this... Why would it shorten the lifespan of the machine? Dump the games to the HDD and put the discs on the shelf! My Xbox has a 200GB HDD with all of what I consider to be the must-haves on it.

What you are hearing is your laser sled and lens having to re-adjust for focus errors. It happens when using cheap media. This causes extra wear and tear on the sled assembly but not the laser itself.

I'm not really sure where the idea came from that burned media shortens the life of a laser, but im pretty sure its a myth.
