[Phillyman]

What I want to do is get 30-40 games on my Xbox Hard drive, Its a 250 Gig's and I would like to get a good variety of games on it. I want a little bit of everything. So for example...

Baseball Game
Football Game
Golf Game
Basketball Game
Hockey Game
Soccer Game
Boxing Game
Action Game
RPG Game
Adventure Game
Car Racing Game
Racing Combat Game
Other Racing Game (boats, skiing, snow mobile,etc)
Air Fighter Game
Puzzle Game
Retro Game
3D Fighting Game
2D Fighting Game
FPS Game
War Game
etc....


So I need some recommendations on the best games from each possible category you can think of

 

[Sick Wario]

well, a lot of people will tell you halo was the best game on xbox, but they'd be wrong

AMPED 2 is the epitome of gaming, and the best game xbox had in it's lifespan

capcom vs snk 2 and KoF 2002/2003 are also good

 

[gamermole]

racing. you definately need forza motorsport. plus the dead or alive series is good for fighting.

battlefronts a good shooter aswell especially online

I loved the Pirates of the Caribbean RPG (No Depp)
Murakumo was a very hard game, can you beat it? (It got bad review for being so hard)
Robotech: Battlecry

Those are the "little known" xbox games that I like the most

I didn't enjoy MGS(or any other MGS game).

The lack of inverted control made it impossible for me to play.

good list of games there although i think battlefront deserves a try

also found this on ign, should be useful its a list of the top 25 xbox games

Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath defines what is wrong with gaming today. A fantastic game, an outstanding story, gameplay bursting with originality and the game didn't sell. Overlooked by the majority of gamers due to poor marketing, it's a crime that the shit surrounding this game drove the developers to abandon videogames for good

Ninja Gaiden Black
Pro Evolution Soccer 5 +patch (I used k_patch, but there are several alternatives on the torrent sites)
Half-life 2
Black
Beyond Good and Evil
MAME for 2D fighters and retro games

 

[Tomobobo]

Can't believe no one's mentioned

Kung Fu Chaos
Fusion Frenzy

I've had no trouble with 4 or DS.

 

[Jiggah]

Knights of the Old Republic both 1 and 2. Although 2 is extremely broken, a lot of stuff was cut out, it still pretty good.

 

[kellyan95]

"35. Elder Scrolls III (8.5)"

No. This game looks so bad in 640x480, it made my eyes bleed. Literally.

 

[jimmy j]

17. Marvel Vs Capcom

Use the mame rom instead. Its only 22mb and the xbox version will be over 2gb. While you're at it, get Marvel vs Street Fighter and the SF Alpha series (Alpha 3 is a little jerky at times mind). Same goes for Mega Man Compilation. Just get the roms and emulators.

Street Fighter Anniversary is still a good addition though. SF3 won't run on xbox mame

Why are you asking about resi? There aren't any resi games on the xbox.

That's why

From the post above meh about MG2...only ever played MG1 on PC I found MG2 really hard to get into..the lack of tutorials left me clueless, although it seemed like a game with depths..

But these are the games that I can remember being good:
Knights of the Old Republic
Chronicles of Riddick
Jade Empire
Fight Night Round 3
Project Gotham Racing 2 i think
