The 8 best Xbox games to own forever

SBG: "The Best to Own Forever series isn’t about what’s great right now. It’s about what will be great in 10 years, even though there will be better-looking games and later sequels, and what will keep you pulling that dusty old console out of the closet every once in a while. This time, we focus on the original Xbox which, while mostly home to ports and iterative series, has a few gems to go back to."

Even though its not on the list Phantom Dust was good game.

Yi-Long4247d ago (Edited 4247d ago )

... was probably Rallisport Challenge 2.

Absolutely gorgeous graphics, and fantastic gameplay. Rallying perfection.

Ninja Gaiden Black was also perfect.

edit: Oh, and PES5 ofcourse. Still the best PES ever.

Wikkid6664247d ago

Rallisport 2 was freaking awesome! I always wished it made its come back to the 360.

iistuii4247d ago

Yep, Rallisport Challenge 2 for me too.

Stansolo4247d ago (Edited 4247d ago )

Love Rallysport 2, thats one game to keep forever, but why on gods earth wasn't this made backwards compatible for xbox 360 I just don't know. Great game!!

KidBroSweets24247d ago (Edited 4247d ago )

How about Project Gotham Racing??? It was also a launch title. And Crimson Skies and the original Halo(or even Halo 2) are good enough to be on this list. But those three games were the most played games by me on my Xbox.

Bathyj4247d ago

I'd love me some more Crimson Skies.
I dont know why they havent made another one.

DasTier4247d ago

Halo, Sudekei, Simpsons Hit & Run, Lego Star Wars, Halo 2, NFL 2k5, Mashed, Die Hard, Dynasty Warriors 4.

Oh the memories :)

59fifty4247d ago

Wolfenstein Tides of War. Was my favorite xbox game.

jc485734247d ago

Blastoise4247d ago

Knights of the old republic for christ sake

Stansolo4247d ago (Edited 4247d ago )

God yes! KOTOR 1 and 2, two gaming legends. Still got my original games that I brought on release. Never get shut of them, great games.

Game companies are not mature enough to handle this concept without turning it into a casino.

shadowknight203131d ago

The remakes of battlefront should have been more simular to the originals. CoD/battlefield reskinned as Star Wars was not the anwser.

Remembering or celebrating? It's Halloween yo, that's what people are celebrating.

franwex173d ago

The first game was really fun. I remember being disappointed with this one when it first released.

I went back last month actually, and had more fun than when released-but I still think the first one is superior. Do like the soundtrack!

A Remastered Release of Burnout 3: Takedown Is Long Overdue

It's time for EA to bring back Road Rage. And Crash Mode, for that matter.

I absolutely loved this game. It was my favourite in the series, even over Paradise!

LucasRuinedChildhood413d ago

Excluding PSP spin-offs:
1) Burnout 3
2) Burnout Revenge
3) Burnout Paradise
4) Burnout 2
5) Burnout 1

2 and 3 are pretty close for me though.

neutralgamer1992413d ago

Burnout 3
Burnout revenge

These 2 in a combo pack would be awesome

Snookies12413d ago

Yep, best two in the series in my opinion.

YodaCracker413d ago

I’ve been playing this on my Series X with a PS2 emulator and it brings back so much nostalgia. Still my favorite Burnout! But I’d definitely love a remake.

DarXyde413d ago (Edited 413d ago )

More of a Revenge guy, personally.

I really hated Paradise. I played it on PS3 and the only thing I liked about it was that it allowed for custom soundtracks.

..... So I just played it with the Revenge OST. 🫡

SullysCigar412d ago

I agree about Paradise. The world raved about it and I honestly thought I was the only one it didn't click with. I felt a bit like I was playing GTA, only without the story, shooting, flying et al. It felt a bit soulless to me compared to Takedown and Revenge, which were more OTT fun!

bring back Burnout 2-5 in one nice package.

sadraiden413d ago

Go play it then. Should be able to find a PS2 copy for less than $5.

Stop wishlisting games that already exist. Stop doing EA's marketing department's work for them.

TheSenorCheese413d ago

I'm just saying that a new generation of players would absolutely love this. Not everyone can afford to hunt down an Xbox and a copy of this game.

Amplitude413d ago (Edited 413d ago )

Looks and plays amazingly on pcsx2 honestly. But yeah an actual official remastered release with better graphics and trophies/achievements and online would be lovely

SullysCigar413d ago

Why are you telling everyone how to think? You only get one opinion; yours. So do the rest of us that are interested in a B3: takedown remake. It was a great game for it's time and could be even better if brought up to modern standards.

How about a spiritual successor, then?

TheSenorCheese413d ago

Only problem is EA is so far invested in Need For Speed that it might not be sold on a new Burnout...unless there's reassurance that there's still interest in the series. Hence, the idea for a re-release of one that's an established hit. :)

Ratchetlombax413d ago

I hope you'll have fun plugging your PS2 to a modern 4K TV, because you'll need a component cable ($10 to $15 w/o shipping) if you want a decent enough quality, then a component to HDMI converter (approx. $30)... And that's if you haven't sold your PS2 and/or your game in the past 20 years, because that would set you for another $50-$60 (plus don't forget the memory card and/or the controller, because you'll have to have those too).

Anyway, once you're set, the game will only run in a 4:3 aspect ratio (that'll mean that either your image will be stretched to fit your TV screen, or you'll have black borders on the left and right sides of your display). Plus, Burnout 3 featured an online play feature that is now long gone (and I'm sure you don't remember the hassle it was to create a PS2 online account, plus I'm pretty sure that's not something you can do anymore).

By making an HD remaster/remake, it'll mean enjoying fixes for all those problems, plus updated textures and 3D models, and it would really be cheaper for the consumer: I don't think paying approximately $100 to play a blurry mess without your friends is really worth it, but hey, you do you ;)

TheSenorCheese413d ago

Boy, when did retro gaming become so expensive?!

hiawa23413d ago

Or just 4K enhance the X360 versions as they are already on back compat.

Retroman413d ago (Edited 413d ago )

LoL, you wrong buddy
I have Ps2 4k Hdmi converter with component cable for ps2 plugged into my 4k TV ps2 games look great . Bought it
on Ebay 18.00
By the way memory card only 12-18.00 on Ebay where you getting 30.00 from??
You can pick up a Cheap ps2 for 20.00 replace disk drive eye like I did ka-bam!! Running ps2 .........everything is cheaper if you take your time look around on ebay if you don't know how to repair anything YouTube will teach you how to.

MaximusPrime_413d ago

Funny enough last weekend I was playing PS2 game, burnout 3. First time in years. Fond memories.

wesnytsfs413d ago
