Recommendations (not on your list):

Crimson Skies
Panzer Dragoon Orta

Panzer Dragoon Orta is actually the third game on that list. I read that Crimson Skies is supposed to be a good game but I just don't know if I'll like a flight game. Doesn't seem like my style.

Well, Ghostdog, as far as playing several games on your list... here are a few of my dislikes- only because you asked (some may agree, some may disagree). Hunter: The Reckoning, kinda cool at first, but really gets repetitive after a bit. I got tired of all the button mashing and blowing away hordes of the same enemies that just keep respawing. It has a very coin-op, quarter-muncher feel. I got to a certain boss about halfway through the game, couldn't beat it- and because it was so repetitive, didn't feel like playing it any more. Jet Set Radio... played the 1st stage, and it didn't do much for me. Like a Tony Hawk mixed with anime. I had the double game set with Sega GT 2002 and wound up playing the GT game more. Outrun 2006: Coast to Coast is cool as long as you don't like realism in your racing games.

And as a recommedation, only because it's so cheap and in 720p- try out Cold Fear. Good survival horror (only if you like the genre) game, set on a ship. I found it for 6.00 at a recent circuit city sale.

I appreciate your comments. Yeah, Hunter doesn't seem all that great but I just threw it in that list just in case. I won't end up getting it since I just have too many other games I want. I'll probably like Jet Set Radio Future since I own Jet Grind Radio for Dreamcast and love it. Also, it only costs $2 so I don't have much to lose. I love arcade racing titles so Outrun 2006 will be a blast. Let's weed out this list people!

If you like any of the star wars: rogue squadron games, you'll probably like crimson skies... similar graphics and gameplay.

My votes go to:

Advent Rising
Psychonauts
Halo
Fable
and their version of Fifa 07

[TheDomesticInstitution]

So Advent Rising is decent? I recently bought it for a few dollars on clearance- the back cover didn't look promising... but that gives me some hope that its worth the price.

Half Life 2
D&D Heroes
X-Men Legends
Silent Hill 2

I have and like lots of Xbox games but those are some of my faves. I beat all these except D&D and Driv3r so far. I got into Xbox late, buying my system in March 2006. I will be playing Xbox for many many more years!

Mercenaries
Dreamfall
Broken Sword
Indiana Jones


I don't feel like thinking of anymore right now.

Burnout Revenge and Outrun 2006: Coast 2 Coast should be added to the main list. I know they're not system-exclusive, but both games push the limits of the system and are the best versions of both games in their generation (not counting the 360 version, of course).

[The 1 2 P]

I'm going to add all my favorites because I didn't read everyone else's list.

Halo 1 and 2
Otogi 1 and 2
Ninga Gaiden and Ninga Gaiden Black
Star Wars: Kotor 1 and 2
Far Cry Instincts and Far Cry Evolution
Doom 3 and Doom 3 Resurection of Evil
Max Payne 1 and 2
Burnout 3 and Revenge
Half Life 2
Pain Killer
Star Wars Jedi Knight Outcast and Jedi Academy

I was glancing at the list on page 1 of this thread...I count 48 titles...I think we need 2 more...but there are really only 47 titles, I think. There are two games listed that I think are really the same game but the titles as listed are slightly different...ESPN MLB 2k5 and Major League Baseball 2K5 (ESPN). So one of those should be removed...and maybe have 3 more added to bring it up to a full 50 titles.

[jonebone]

I didn't see Stubbs the Zombie or Ninja Gaiden Black mentioned anywhere in the first page...

Ninja Gaiden Black was superior to the first in every way... it was literally the first game reskinned with upgraded AI (so you couldn't spam the flying sparrow over and over for cheap wins), along with the addition of 50 missions in "mission mode", which unlocks after you beat the game.

Red Dead Redemption

[Rogmeister]

This thread is for the original Xbox...I don't think they made Red Dead Redemption for that system.
