General Chat / Xbox Games

I'm looking into buying a few xbox games.
Any suggestions?

Wait, regular Xbox or Xbox 360?

I'd definitely recommend Halo/Halo 2, which is considered a legendary game for XBOX.

Well, I say Splinter Cell double agent. I only played the one on XBOX, and I thought it pretty. Graphics are top notch.

Games for the Xbox. Not the 360.


I already own these, and have beaten them both.
While the multiplayer modes were/are fun, the single player is awful. Poor storyline, and not the best as far as action goes.

My game list (in no order):
DDR Ultramix 1 and 3
GTA III
Fable The Lost Chapters
2006 FIFA World Cup
Amped 2
Halo
Halo 2
Fuzion Frenzy
Forza Motorsport
The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind Game of the Year Edition
Half-Life 2
Winning Eleven 8

HL2 was great, obviously (despite my not beating it yet).
I haven't gotten in to Fable or Morrowind too much, unfortunately. Forza I like a lot, but am stuck in.
Both of my soccer games have awful single player modes, but are fun multiplayer.


I'm looking for a war game, possibly Medal of Honor -esque. I've played that before, and it was "fun." I wonder how long that would last though...

I know its not the genre your looking for, but I would recommend Doom 3 and Grand Theft Auto San Andreas... two great games.

Call of Duty 3 man.....trust me, you wont regret it.

Halo is for Xbox...

Nah. I have GTA 3, and I don't ever play it.
I bought it for like 8 bucks, and even that wasn't worth it. Not my genre at all.

Jazz: I meant I'm looking for games for the Xbox, not the 360. Surely Halo is backward compatible though?

Is Guitar Hero for just 360? If not, get it.

You HAVE to get Counter-Strike. The graphics aren't great but every other element makes up for it entirely.

I enjoyed games like Indigo Prophecy, Forza, Halo, Grand Theft Auto series, and there's a few I can't think of. If you're looking for a good single player game, I enjoyed Indigo Prophecy a lot.

And I know you just wanted XBOX games, but the 360 is a sweet gaming platform, with great games already out and tons more great ones coming out, especially this year. I dunno though... Plus, it can play a lot of older XBOX games.

With college computer costs coming, as well as tuition fees and all that, I don't have the money for a new system. I can get the games for pretty cheap, especially used games still in good condition.

Keep the suggestions coming.
Counter Strike would be interesting. It's like a prequel to HL2 isn't it? Is the original HL also worth it?

Guitar Hero II.
[I went to every EB Games/Gamestop I could this week looking for this game and found that no one carried it. Then I went to a little underground, independent store down the street and they had it. What were the chances?]
Reserve Halo 3.

Then sign onto Xbox live and add me as a friend..."iHeadbang"

Tehe.

yes the original half life is worth it, counter-strike isn't a prequel and for the love of god don't get them for the xbox..........pc all the way

Play Fable and Morrowind mate, 2 of the best Xbox games.

Then get an Xbox 360 and get Oblivion, Call of Duty 3, Guitar Hero 2 and wait for Halo 3 and Fable 2.

Hobbes: I also agree with you that the campaign and storyline of Halo is rather weak. That being said, I do think that mulitplayer makes Halo what it truly is. I believe it can also be used on 360 as well...

BTW, is it official that Guitar Hero II is being released on 360?

If I'm not mistaken, it has already been released. I'm pretty sure I saw it yesterday at my Best Buy.

Guitar Hero II has already been released for the XBOX 360, and it's not available on the original XBOX.

Mercenaries was actually a pretty sweet game. Very gta style, but you do get a heat seeking nuclear warhead. No multiplayer though, which sucked...
