It's a great time for collecting XBox games, what with them being so cheap, and there's plenty of good games for the system too. Here's some of my favourites:
Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliance
A great RPG, if a little linear. Great with friends.
Beyond Good and Evil
An awesome action-adventure with great style and head-busting puzzles.
Burnout 2
XBox has 3 Burnout games, but I find #2 the best, because even with the over-the-top additions, it's still about racing at it's heart, whereas 3 & Takedown are more about cheap thrills. It's also the last Burnout game not to feature the horrid EA Trax.
Call of Cthulu
A really pretty first-person adventure game, in the same vein as the Lovecraft book it's based on.
Conker's Bad Fur Day
The N64 version is better, but the XBox version is much cheaper and still just as funny.
Forza Motorsport
Made by people who have a passion for cars and racing. Lots of depth, challenging, and fun.
Gunvalkyrie
A cool, stylistic third-person shooter that's very challenging.
Half Life 2
An interesting first-person shooter.
Halo
A great firest-person shooter that was revolutionary back in the day.
Jet Set Radio Future
An easier, if more stylised, sequel to the DC game. Awesome soundtrack too.
Need for Speed: Most Wanted
A game that harkens back to the origins of the series - you versus a pack of cops.
Oddworld: Munch's Odessey & Stranger's Wrath
2 really cool platform games that are more about solving puzzles than your usual platformer.
Outrun 2006: Coast to Coast
A great arcade racing game that reeks of style and fun.
Panzer Dragoon Orta
A great follow up to Panzer Dragoon Saga.
Psychonauts
A really intriguing platformer with a wicked sense of humour. A MUST-PLAY!
Rayman 3
Rayman 2 on DC was better, but this is still a fun platformer.
Shenmue 2
A great adventure game that's much more interesting and action packed than the original DC game.
Street Fighter Anniversary Collection
It includes Super Street Fighter II Turbo, Street Fighter III: Third Strike and the animated Street Fighter II movie. What else could you ask for? (except Alpha 3 maybe).
Super Monkey Ball Deluxe
Both original Monkey Ball games in one, and it's even got a dumb) story now too. Great arcade-style game and lots of fun multiplayer.
Timesplitters 2 & Future Perfect
I prefer #2 to FP, but they're both great shooters, by the same core team that made Goldeneye.
Top Spin
A great tennis game in the vein of Virtua Tennis.
And there's plenty of other games I forget too.
