I haven't really played any xbox games in years that weren't burnout or street fighter. I'm wondering what I missed.
What are the must have xbox games?

Ninja Gaiden, but just wait for NG Black next month.
Beyond Good and Evil
Knights of the Old Republic
Chronicles of Riddick
Otogi (part one more than two)
And find a copy of Panzer Dragoon Orta.
PGR2.
JSRF.
I didn't see Jade Empire or PGR2 mentioned yet.
PGR2.
JSRF.
Mortal Kombat.
Try Phantom Dust and the 2K sports series. They are alot better on the XBOX. You do have Guilty Gear XX midnight, right?
Some that haven't been mentioned that I would consider must-haves:
Dead or Alive 3
Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 (If you want them, Xbox is the system. I love these games)
Metal Arms
Outrun 2
Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders
GTA Double Pack (if you don't play them on PC)
Somebody make PS2 and Gamecube threads of must-haves.
*Edit* I did it myself.
Shenmue II
Burnout 3
Ninja Gaiden
Def Jam: Fight For New York (seriously)
Morrowind
MK: Deception
Beyond Good and Evil
That crazy ass Japanese game where the president drives a mech from the people that made Otogi
Psychonauts
KOTOR I and II
NFL 2K5
Halo 2
Karaoke Revolution
I wish there were more.
EDIT: Oh, and fucking Fatal Frame. Duh.

Forza Motorsport
Halo 2
Jade Empire
Jet Set Radio Future
Ninja Gaiden
Mechassault
Panzer Dragoon Orta

Nine. That's about half as many as the GameCube and a quarter as many as the PS2.
Metal Slug 3, 4, 5
Panzer Dragoon Orta
Street Fighter Anniversary Collection
Capcom vs SNK 2
Guilty Gear XX
SvC Chaos (yep i said it)

Legacy of Kain Defiance
SF Anniversary collection
Oddworld Strangers Wrath
Chronicles of Riddick
Galleon-though I'm sure this won't be a popular decision
Still Life-this one either
DS. The Xbox has maybe five worthwhile games left in its lifetime.Quote:

Zing!
Yep. In their respective lifetimes, the DS has had two must have exclusives in less than one year, and the Xbox has had nine (per my list in that thread) in four years. The DS still has time to hit double digits at least.Quote:

Jet Set Radio Future
Panzer Dragoon Orta
Crimson Skies
Shenmue II
Jet Set Radio Future
Forza Motorsport
Spikeout Battle Street
Breakdown
OutRun 2
Carve
Crimson Skies
Rallisport Challenge 2
Project Gotham Racing
Project Gotham Racing 2
Going with must-have multi-platform games:
Beyond Good and Evil
Midway Arcade Treasures
Midway Arcade Treasures 2
Street Fighter Anniversary Edition
Guilty Gear X2 #Reload
Burnout 2
Burnout 3: Takedown
Psychonauts
Prince of Persia: the Sands of Time (shit, just having PoP 1 and 2 on here make it THE version to have)
DS. I've read MS is discontinuing the original Xbox after Christmas, because they still lose money on every unit sold (in large part because of the standard hard drive - HDD cost never really comes down). If you still want an original Xbox, the price should plummet after the new year.Quote:

KOTOR (haven't played 2)
Prince of Persia
Halo (halo 2 maybe for the online, but I'm not listing it)
Jade Empire
Psychonauts
Buffy the Vampire Slayer (not the second one, the first one is the best beat'em up this gen)
Fable
These games are great. I don't play as many games as you guys but these are the Xbox ones that I enjoyed. I still have to buy Psychonauts. I will buy it with my first paycheck. Red Dead Revolver was great, but I wouldn't call it a must-buy. Maybe a must-rent. If they came out with a sequel with improved game options (replayable levels for one) I'd probably buy it. As it stands you could rent it and have the same experience.
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind GOTY Edition -- Play it on the PC.
Trust me, nobody on this board plays anywhere near as many games as they have fervent opinions about... I'm sure you play just as many as everybody else.Quote:

The way some people ramble on it seems like they play as many games a month as morphix buys.
Xbox runs at 60fps. PS2 runs at 30fps.Quote:

Arx Fatalis - I know it's PC as well, but hey, I really like it.
Burnout 2 (second edition) - because of the crash mode.
Outrun 2 - I retired my Xbox and I really miss this game.
Galleon - was quite good entertainment oldschool style.
DOA3 - fun for the whole family.
Full Spectrum Warrior - I want more!
XBMC - yeah it's not a game, but it's a "must have" ;)
Steel Battalion, which everyone seems to forget about. Amazing (and exclusive). Oddly enough, I think Josh actually had this game at one time.
Still have it.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Rallisport Challenge 2
Outrun 2
Absolute vitals for the xbox
Phantom Dust (absolutely must have if you have XBL)
Panzer Dragoon Orta
Guilty Gear Reload
Ninja Gaiden
Mechassault, for obvious reasons.
Xbox Media Center with MP3s of the Advent Rising soundtrack and avi's of my TV shows.
No one will agree with me, I realise but...

Outrun 2
Galaxy Angel (Japan-only game)
HOTD3
Ninja Gaiden

No one cares about my list but I feel the need to write down my favorite games on the Xbox :)
Phantom Dust <- Hope they make a sequel, this is probably my favorite Xbox game
Steel Battalion (high price, big controller)
Panzer Dragoon Orta
Forza Motorsports
Outrun 2
NFL 2k5
Spikeout Street Battle
Dai Senryaku
Rallisport 2
Project Gotham Racing 2
TOCA Race Driver 2 (alot of racing games I know)

Soul Calibur 2
Ninja Gaiden
Otogi
NHL 2k5 (wait for 2k6)
Toejam & Earl 3
KOTOR 1/2
Morrowind
I do, but we're definitely in the minority. You'd think it would be more popular around here given that it takes real skill to play the game properly, and has that old-school feel insofar as it revolves around high-twitch/fast reflex shooting. Good call.Quote:

Doom 3, awesome even if the PC one is better.
Which it isn't (for once). Xbox version has better pacing.Quote:
