Got an Xbox Original, What now?

[tafk]

Inspired by this post - http://vgcollect.com/forum/index.php/topic,5578.0.html

I just grabbed an Xbox 1 (screw you MS for your weird naming) and I don't really have any idea of good games for the system. I know that Halo 1 & 2 are a must but outside of that I have no idea of good games or exclusives for the system. So what should I be looking into in everyone's opinion?

Jet Set Radio Future
Knights of the Old Republic
Otogi 1&2
Crimson Skies
Phantom Dust
Panzer Dragoon Orta
Kung-Fu Chaos

JSRF is the best game on the system IMO, and that's not a knock against the system - it's just an incredible game.

see if you can trade it for an original PS?

This is definitely the best route to go.

Well he's playing FFT on the PSOne now, so I think he has his priorities straight. After you get the PSOne...and the Gamecube...then there are enough good exclusives on the 'box to justify picking one up.

Seriously, though...having never owned, played, or wanted one - the two (console) exclusive games that I'd want to most play - would probably be...

a tie between

...Morrow Wind and SWKotOR.

Am I even remembering correctly about those 2 being console exclusives on the original XB?

That is correct.

Sphinx is excellent. I always think of it as a GC game because that's what I played it on, but it was out for all 3 systems at the time. I never finished it tho - somehow my save got corrupted and I had gotten so far into the game I didn't want to start over at the time. Wouldn't mind giving it another go now.

Great Exclusives:
-Arx Fatalis - Ultima: Underworld inspired action-RPG.
-Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge - Awesome airplane game set in the 1930s. It's a bit open-ended and you can upgrade planes and unlock new planes as you move forward in your questline. Great looking graphics, to boot.
-Dungeons & Dragon: Heroes - Great little Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance clone.
-Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind - The 3rd Elder Scrolls game and the single best RPG of that generation.
-Halo 1 & 2 - Must-haves if you own an Xbox. Great multiplayer, and blockbuster-movie-eque campaign storylines.
-Jade Empire - Very unique action-RPG set in ancient China that centers around martial arts and mystical arts and has a cool moral/choice system.
-MechAssault 1 & 2 - Best mech-games of that generation, IMO. Less simulator-based, more action-based than other mech games.
-Panzer Dragoon Orta - A sequel to the Sega Saturn series. Gorgeous graphics and a great soundtrack mix to make a very relaxing game, actually.

Great Multiplatform Games:
-Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 1 & 2
-Burnout 1-3
-Capcom Classics Collection 1 & 2
-Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction
-Marvel: Ultimate Alliance
-Marvel vs. Capcom 2
-Mega Man Anniversary Collection
-Sonic Mega Collection Plus
-Spider-Man 1 & 2
-Tony Hawk's Underground 1 & 2
-X-Men Legends 1 & 2

I don't know if I'm alone in my opinion, but I liked Blinx: The Time Sweeper. It seems like people were disappointed with it back in the day because it was over-hyped, but it's not bad if you go in with no expectations.

Has anyone played Crazy Taxi 3? That's one I've been on the lookout for recently, I didn't know it existed until about a month ago.

Yeah, I played it a little while back; its pretty fun but its really more of the same if you've played the other entries in the series. It has a few weird drops in framerate, but besides that, the game runs well, and the graphics have gotten a decent overhaul compared to the Dreamcast entries and some stages( taken from previous games) have been retooled for this specific game.

I think I you put it in the fridge it will keep food from spoiling? I don't know, game consoles are weird. They're like crystal skulls... what do they mean??!
