Top 5 Original Xbox Games for the 360

"Here are my top 5 original Xbox games that can be played on the 360. Some people may not have had the original Xbox and may have missed out on these beauties. Some may poo poo these older games as relics and not worthy of the mighty 360, but I fully disagree. These games are great and worth a second or even a first look. Some of these can be downloaded via Xbox Live, but at $20 I would do some bargain bin hunting first."

The list should have Baldur's Gate.At the very least the 1st one the 2nd one was meh! but give a little love.

...since 2 aren't even platform exclusive. My "Fav Five" (not just BC games) are:

-Thief: Deadly Shadows
-Crimson Skies:HRTR
-Chronicles of Riddick
-Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath
-Morrowind

*Honorable mention for Voodoo Vince. :p

Chronicles of Riddick = awesome

They also missed Ninja Gaiden, much love for KOTOR !!!

the GOTY edition of Morrowind compatible I'd scoop it up in a second. Still great in & of itself, but why not use the 1 with the expansions?

I loved Jet set radio for the Xbox

[TheKungFool]

Check your updates bro, the GOTYE Edition of Morrowind definately works on the 360, provided you have a current update.

Ah Psychonauts..one of the most underrated games ever, that game was amazing

[IntelligentAj]

Jade Empire was f***** awesome and is one of my favorite games of all time. I'm gonna get Psychonauts from Gamefly though.

[Grown Folks Talk]

the story really didn't change much for the different characters. Other than being flirted with by a guy/girl, they were generally the same. I did love it though. Apparently there is a sequel in the works for the 360. I wouldn't mind the Shenmue series to be made for the 360 as well.

[IntelligentAj]

Hell i'd definitely buy that for my 360. And Shenmue is long overdue for a sequel...

Halo 1 (not 2) & Panzer Dragoon Orta were my favorite games last gen on Xbox.
"IMO" Halo got stomped on by CoD4 though and i'd like to see another Panzer game this gen

[Grown Folks Talk]

Halo is some people's mother. Don't be talkin bout their momma. Quickest way to get ignored or to lose bubbles is to badmouth the Halo series or the Playstation brand. = }

[meepmoopmeep]

lol, yeah you're right. i'll edit it to include "IMO".

[BigPimpin]

Am I the only one that has problems playing KotOR on the 360? When I play it, I always get alot of lag and slow down issues.

[Grown Folks Talk]

NCAA Football 2006 is that way. When you have the ball it's all sluggish, but when you are on defense it's smooth as butter.

[CHONGO]

i have slowdown everytime with kotor 1 and 2, as well

[Yi-Long]

... Ninja Gaiden Black was probably the best Xbox game, and it isnt even on that list(!)

Rallisport Challenge 2 should also definately be on that list, but isnt BC yet (which is ridiculous, I know, as it's the best rally-game ever...)

[TheKungFool]

Regardless of backwards compatabillity, my favorite Xbox titles were:

Deus Ex: Invisible War
Thief: Deadly Shadows
Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay
Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind GOTYE
Knights of the Old Republic
Knights of the Old Republic II: Sith Lords
Panzer Dragoon Orta

(Those are the exclusives I liked, the rest of the games I liked on Xbox were multiplats also on the PS2)

[CHONGO]

read on joystiq (or x3f) while taking a cig break that splinter cell and metal arms r comin to originals....i always wanted to play metal arms on my gcn back in the day. kinda weird that its comin to the service; but theyre both ubi so.

[FCOLitsjustagame]

I guess its all a matter of taste and its not like I would consider any of those bad games, but my list would probably be different.

I didnt play Psychonauts or Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly DIRECTOR'S CUT but I know that people who did loved them.

I really liked Fable and KOTOR so they may have been on my list. I liked Jade Empire but was a bit let down with it for some reason, I cant quite put my finger on it.

Chronicals of Riddick and Morrowind (the reason I bought the xbox in the first place) would definitly be two games on my list.

I really liked Call of Duty one also but maybe because everyone at work was playing it at the same time and struggling with parts (like the first american, escort the tank mission).

Actually XB originals are $15 not $20.

Anyway, not a bad list although i would have included metal arms which is coming to XB originals soon. That game is awesome and totally underrated.
