GR: The original Xbox often gets panned by gamers for being nothing more than a Halo machine, and while there's a shred of truth to that claim, that doesn't negate the fact that Microsoft's first gaming box had a ton of great software; some multiplatform, but also a lot that couldn't be experienced anywhere else. Don't believe me? Well the staff here at GameRevolution crafted a list of the 25 best games available on the system, and I think you'll be surprised by how many awesome games there really are. So let's get right into it.
I missed the elves in my first Dragon’s Dogma 2 playthrough, but I won’t make that mistake again
The isometric RPG Broken Roads is available now for PC, PlayStation and Xbox consoles, courtesy of indie studio Drop Bear Bytes.
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter launched nearly 20 years ago, but remains an easy recommendation even today.
It's 20 years old and we can still play it. Are we going to be able to play Avatar and Star Wars Outlaws in 20 years?
Psychonauts is truly an amazing diamond in the dirt !
if you still haven't tried it yet do yourself a favor try it
Escape from Butcher Bay was definitely one of my favorite Xbox games and one of the few I actually held on to. Never played Rainbow Six 3.
Jade Empire is # 1 in my opinion. I would have liked to see a second game in that series.
So many games for the original Xbox - Kotor series, Jade Empire, Shenmue II, Breakdown, Morrowind, Crimson Skies, Unreal Championship, Dead or Alive, Oddworld series, Fable, Jet Set Radio Future, Escape from Butcher Bay, Blinx -
These are the reasons I backed Xbox as long as I have, only as of the last couple years being more or less done with it.
It really is a shame that what the original Xbox was is so far from where the brand is nowadays.
Psychonauts really needs to dress itself up in HD, climb on a disc next to Grim Fandango and get in my console.
