I'm new and what xbox 360 and original games do you recomend?

[aniclod]

Hey I'm Aniclod, I'm new to VGcollect but I'm not new to game collecting though, I collected games in the past but I pick too many consoles to collect for and eventually lost interest but now I'm giving it another try by collecting for the xbox 360 and the original xbox as well, at this time I have a tiny collection, stupidly tiny to be honest.

anyway I would like to know what games you lot would recommend for both of the consoles I collect for, I I know of the obvious games to get (halo, gears of war and etc.),I specifically love the cult classics, the obscure and underrated, so yeah I'd love to see what games you lot think are worth a play.

I would also recommend Ace Combat 6 on the 360, and Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge, Outrun 2 and Knights of the Old Republic on the xbox:)

Noooooo I forgot Outrun. Forshame.

[indenton]

Might I add Vanquish to that list, it's on Xbox 360, PS3 and more recently it came up on Steam, awesome Japanese FPS by PlatinumGames, basically it's what that 'Maverick Hunter' game should have been if it had ever come to fruition.

*Adding things to wishlist*

I only have one suggestion not previously mentioned.  WET.

[oldgamerz]

there is one Halo game for the Xbox360 I either don't know how to play correctly or is a really bad game all together.

It is called in these exact words "HALO 3 ODST" there is virtually NO ammo in the levels leavening you stranded fighting countless enemies. ON easy your basically invincible without cheats and on normal difficulty the enemies are impossible and kill you.

While your stuck wandering around on the ground looking for full ammo weapons for shooting at them you taking damage. I don't get this game at all. My guess now would be to enter some sort of vehicle  but they are all destroyed and the AI friends die vary quickly in that game

take this, you need to drop and pick up different weapons every single time you run out of ammo,  you can't refill ammo by simply walking over the guns.

I think Arkham Origins is way better than Arkham Knight, I don't understand why people think otherwise.

Welcome, aniclod! Hehe, I'm glad so many people were able to offer so many suggestions - and so quickly!

[jce3000gt]

I'm a pretty hardcore XBOX guy but most of my suggestions are already put up.  I will recommend playing Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind on the original XBOX--which will run on the 360. 

I'm sure I'll have more suggestions later, my brain is fried. 

[burningdoom]

Just a heads up about Morrowind: The Game of the Year Edition is riddled with bugs and stutters when playing on a 360. Your better off playing it on an original XBox, even though it is technically compatible with 360. I absolutely echo this suggestion, though.

I haven't seen Oblivion mentioned. That is my favorite entry in the Elder Scrolls series. While Skyrim was epic, it took some of the more nerdy RPG-stat stuff away, which I missed. Oblivion had a nice balance of that and real-time action.

I also haven't seen the MechAssault games for original XBox mentioned. Fan-freaking-tastic mech games that are heavier on the arcadey action than the boring simulator stuff the MechWarrior games gave us.

Jade Empire for original XBox is a fantastic action-RPG that is quite unique. It's set in Ancient China and uses a martial arts based battle system where you can learn different techniques to add to your magic attacks or special physical attacks. It also has a really cool good vs. bad system that really does affect the story.

Bionic Commando on XBox 360 is an overlooked gem. Such a fantastic action game that truly tests your skill. And the grappling mechanic, once you get the "swing" of it, is quite addicting.

I of course echo the suggestions of Skyrim, the Halos, and Star Wars Battlefront. Many hours spent in those games.

Panzer Dragoon Orta is another original XBox game I highly recommend, that has already been mentioned. When people say that games should be considered art, this is a game I think of. The graphics, the atmosphere, the setting, and the music all just combine into this wonderful, mesmorizing experience.

If you like Diablo-esque hack-n-slash RPGs, then you MUST play Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 1 & 2 and Dungeons & Dragons: Heroes. Highly addicting loot-fests!

If you like open-world RPGs, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is one that does not get the attention it deserves. Amazing, and beautiful game with names like R.A. Salvatore and Todd McFarlane (of Spawn & Venom) working on the design. It feels a lot like Oblivion or Skyrim, but with a more satisfying battle-system.

I could keep going and going. I've been an XBox guy since the first system (though this generation, I feel I might have made the wrong choice).

Welcome to the site! Here's some obscure/underrated (IMO, of course) games you might like:

Xbox:
Arx Fatalis (RPG, one guy I used to talk to loved it!)
Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance I & II
Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel (this and Dark Alliance I & II are all the same game engine and are not dissimilar to Bard's Tale, which I see you've got, just more action less talk)
Conker: Live & Reloaded (drunk, urinating cute squirrel. Nice)
Crimson Sea (the sequel's PS2 only, but if you like hacky/slashy this one's surprisingly obscure)
Genma Onimusha
Fatal Frame I & II (oh yes!)
Sudeki
The Suffering I & II
Voodoo Vince

Xbox 360:
Alice: Madness Returns
Alan Wake
Catherine
Alien Breed
Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts
Dante's Inferno
Dead Space
Hunted: The Demon's Forge (bog standard stuff, but still serviceable)
Kameo: Elements of Power
Legendary (interesting setting for a FPS)
Project Sylpheed
