    Default good XBOX exclusives?

    Since I always hated the XBOX and until I got one for $15 and soft modded it I had no intention of even owning one, I have no idea what exclusives it has to offer. So, list some good exclusive games for XBOX or games that are significantly better on XBOX in terms of either price or gameplay (in other words, XBOX native games that were ported to PS2 or Gamecube)

    My XBOX games so far:
    Rallisport Challenge 2
    Forza
    Splinter Cell (bought it for soft modding only, screw sneaking around)
    Doom 3 collector's edition (had to get Doom 1 and 2)
    Tony Hawk 2x
    Shenmue II
    Sega GT 2002/Jet Set Radio Future
    Crimson Skies

    Also, if someone knows of a good site for homebrew/emulators for a modded XBOX, pass it my way, even name dropping the best Genesis, NES, SNES, PSX, and N64 emulators would be a big help (with version if possible).

    Oh yeah, does anyone know of an XBOX game pad that actually has responsive buttons? both my logitech and XBOX S controller require you to mash all face buttons for them to work (A/B/X/Y/white/black) and they are not dirty or worn out.

    Knights of the Old Republic I & II are supposed to be awesome, but I can neither confirm nor deny that myself.

    Panzer Dragoon Orta is the only really GOOD xbox exclusive. Its very good (unless for some odd reason you dont like rail shooters).
    Nothing else worthwhile on that thing.

    Doom 3 is better on PC and Shenmue II is better on dreamcast.

    I didnt really care for the KotOR games. i guess they are good if you're a big star wars fan. otherwise its just dumbed down sci-fi baldurs gate, with weaker characters and story.

    Others:

    -Rallisport Challenge 1
    -Panzer Dragoon Orta
    -Burnout 3 and Revenge (because they feature 5.1 Dolby Digital sound on the Xbox)
    -Gunvalkyrie
    -MotoGP 1 or 2 (the 360 version seems broken and the recent Capcom one is horrible beyond belief)
    -Otogi 1 & 2
    -Out Run 2 and/or Out Run 2 Coast 2 Coast
    -Soul Calibur 2 (720p)

    The second one is merely good, but the original is an incredible game.

    Panzer Dragoon Orta is amazing, excellent, fantastic. Period. It really captures the saturn originals perfectly.

    Best game on the Xbox AFAIC

    What did you think of Mass Effect?

    Mass Effect was awesome, but the environments were too repetitive, and I didn't like how the game punished you for moving the main story too far by cutting you off from finishing many side quests on the Citadel.

    These are some of my personal favourites that I've spent quite a bit of time with. I included some lesser known titles that deserve some attention.

    - Armed and Dangerous
    - Crazy Taxi 3: High Roller (includes the all the cities from the first two DC games)
    - Dungeons & Dragons: Heroes (Gauntlet style hack and slash -- great multiplayer)
    - Jet Set Radio Future
    - Gunvalkyrie (this game has a steep learning curve, requires patience but a brilliant effort by Smilebit)
    - Ninja Gaiden Black
    - Operation Flashpoint: Elite (tactical military simulation, really crude graphics but huge free roaming areas and loads of missions)
    - Outrun 2 / Coast 2 Coast
    - Panzer Dragoon Orta
    - Shenmue II
    - Soul Calibur II (Best console version hands down)
    - Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
    - Spikeout: Battlestreet (A 3D beat em' up by SEGA, not amazing but it's an awesome throw back game)
    - All three Tom Clancy Splinter Cell games

    And for Mass Effect, the combat was kind weird and not fluid but biotic (magic) power attacks made up for the weak gun play. Also the exploration was really weak. The fact that there are so many planets but 80% of them are just barren wastelands was a huge let down. I wanted to explore the galaxy =/

    Did you just ask this question knowing there was nothing you wanted so you could continue bashing microsoft? Because that seems patently unnecessary and a waste of all of our time...

    Panzer Dragoon Orta isn't nothin' its a damn fine game!

    I thought there may have been somethin cool that I didn't know about, and I was sorely mistaken. I might get Panzer Dragoon Orta if I come across it, to be honest I was hoping for a good FPS (NOT HALO!!!) since I don't play those much and I know that's 99% of the XBOX lineup. No, I didn't make this to bash Microsoft, though I would really like to bash Microsoft now for making the damn things not work with CD-Rs and FTP not working for anything. Now I'm going to have to sink another $20 into this heap to transfer the emulators onto this bastard.

    You can get Black if you like shitty games like FPS.
