    Default Your Definitive Xbox Collection?

    I didn't want to derail Xtremegamer's thread but I'm interested in your opinions, as collectors, on which games define the Xbox for you. These aren't necessarily collectible in the sense of rarity or cost, but more because of the subjective value we assign to them. For example, Blinx is neither rare nor pricey, but in my opinion it contributed in defining the Xbox by being its (failed) attempt at a Sonic/Mario type mascot. Basically, what games would you have to have in your collection in order to create a snapshot of what, in your mind, the Xbox was?

    Sorry if this thread is redundant. There are currently two dealing with rarity, but I'm not interested in collectibility in the marketplace sense so much as in the personal sense.

    For starters, I would include:

    Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee
    Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath

    For being great games as well as the swansong of a great series

    Psychonauts
    For being the best version of one of the generation's great cult classics

    Blinx 1 & 2
    Brute Force
    Azurik
    Voodoo Vince
    For better of for worse, these games are definitive Xbox failures - not necessarily due to quality.

    Halo 1 & 2
    No need to explain

    Grabbed by the Ghoulies
    Conker's Bad Fur Day
    The Rare acquisition is one of the big Xbox stories

    Panzer Dragoon Orta
    Gunvalkyrie
    Otogi 1 & 2
    For being exclusive and unique in design or art direction

    Buffy: The Vampire Slayer
    Chronicales of Riddick

    licenses with a cult followings, and good games

    Star Wars KOTOR 1 & 2
    Jade Empire
    Sudeki
    Morrowind
    Fable

    The best of the exclusive Xbox rpgs

    Ninja Gaiden
    Dead or Alive
    Dead or Alive Xtreme Volleyball
    Soul Calibur 2
    Shenmue 2
    Phantom Dust
    Crimson Skies
    Splinter Cell
    Mechassault 1 & 2


    I could go on, but I'd like to see what others would add.

    I agree with your list, though I actually liked Brute Force.

    I would add Project Gotham Racing 1 and 2.
