Need some XBox Game Recomendations

morrowind for sure

OP,

I just picked up an Xbox the other day so I'm in the same boat as you.

I suggest you get it modded and you can throw in some emulators in there. Can't go wrong playing Zelda 64 on your Xbox.

good suggestion...but my limited research showed that you couldn't play xbox live on a modded xbox - true or not?

Games I very much enjoyed:

- Morrowind: played it on PC, not Xbox, but is probably my favorite game of all time. Very deep, very engaging.
- Beyond Good & Evil: kinda obscure platformer from a couple years ago, a little bit of "wtf is going on" when I started playing it but very fun once I figured it out
- Prince of Persia: All three games are very good. The first one (The Sands of Time) was the most engaging in terms of plot and me not being able to put down the controller (like a good book where you have to see what happens on the next page), whereas the third one was probably the best in terms of gameplay.
- Halo 2: Single player sucks (I only played it cause of the story), and I generally like FPS games, but multiplayer is a blast.
- The Suffering: The first one was very cool, haven't played the second one. Third person action/shooter, takes place on a haunted island, and it seriously freaks you out.
- NBA 2K6: because NBA Live is garbage.

It depends, if you shell out the extra cash, some mod chips come with an on/off switch so you can turn it off when you want to play Live.

Halo 2 is the best game on the system. XBL is a must for this game.

Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory if you are into the spy action games.

Ninja Gaiden (Black, the rerelease to make some extra bucks) if you like to button smash

Forza Motorsport for driving.

Fifa 06 or Winning Eleven 8 are both amazing if you like soccer games.

World Championship Poker 2...Just kidding [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I would also like to pick up a strategy game, kind of like a Legend of Zelda game, if such a game exists. It should have a degree of action to it though - like Bounty Hunter for PS2. I liked that game a lot, even though it's really more of a shooter. Maybe something like Metroid?

So why didn't you buy a Game Cube? I think the GC is better than Xbox the games department, BUT I like the XBox better since mine is modded.

My chip has this feature, but I don't play on Live I prefer the PS2 controller to play Madden and NCAA online.

Forgot about those!! Is WE8 out on Xbox in the US, or is it just PES5 in the UK still? Winning Eleven is one of the greatest sports games I've ever played. Haven't played Fifa since '04, when I was pretty unimpressed by it.

Halo2 on xbox live, 1st person shooter haters love it

DYNASTY WARRIORS 5, this game is quite good

the splinter cells 1,2 or 3
