What XBOX games to get?
Saturday, Nov. 6 2004 | Author: ScrivsSo I gotta XBOX (again) last week and was wondering if you had any favorite games I should get for it. I got Top Spin, NCAA Football 2005, Splinter Cell, Knights of the Old Republic, Fuzion Frenzy, Halo, and Crimson Skies. Obviously Tuesday I am picking up Halo 2, but what do you suggest. I have read the millions of reviews out there and have a list, but I would like to make sure nothing slips under my radar.

1Like racing games? Burnout 3: Takedown is a freaking blast. Prince of Persia: Sands of Time is cheap and awesome too.

2I’m still waiting for Perfect Dark Zero

3Dead or Alive 3 for shure. That’s a great fighting game. if you have xbox live, try out Rainbow Six 3. It’s the best online shooter (besides halo2). You also might want to check out Chronicles of Riddick. Believe it or not, that’s a fantastic game. Burnout 3 is awesome. And Fable is really good too.
If you feel really crazy… I mean CRAZY… check out Deathrow. It’s old and hard to find, but it’s a pretty unique sports game. The new fight night is surprisingly fun as well.
Max Payne 2! If you haven’t played this game, you should. it’s probably one of the best all around games i’ve played in a long time. Great story, awesome graphics, and those ragdoll physics we all love so much. Plus it has this speacal arcade style game mode which is totally sweet. Also, you might want to give Hunter a play. It’s this cool 4 player action game that has great graphics and is really fun. It’s a pretty simple game, but it’s done well. I haven’t played the new one.
That’s my professional opinion on the best xbox games. have fun.
p.s. check out spider man 2. It’s good.

4Gotta agree with the comment above, DOA 3 is a must have if you own an Xbox. Also check out Otoki 2, it’s a very beautiful game, kind of plays like a cross between Bujingai and Devil May Cry.

6Definitely DOA3 as others have mentioned, and get Need for Speed: Underground 2 when it comes out in a few days. Try the Tony Hawk series if you haven’t already; I love those :)
November 7th, 2004 at 8:11 pm
7Dead or Alive Ultimate. AS good as 3 and with online play to boot
November 8th, 2004 at 3:00 pm
8Another great game is Fable. Its hours worth of fun and it has a great storyline. I got it as a hold over until Halo 2 came out, I don’t really like RPG’s but it is my favorite game of all time. Also, Madden 2005 is a must have when chilling.
November 8th, 2004 at 6:09 pm
9Max Payne 2 is good if you haven’t played the first one. Because it basically is the first one, they used some of the same levels and it was way too short. There wasn’t much improvement on the first one either. I mean the game is awesome but for a sequel it kinda sucked imo.
fifa2005, or pro evo soccer 4!

13I’m surprised nobody said anything about Outlaw Golf 1 and 2. Both are too much fun, especially when you need a quick game and have friends over. For more serious golf, Tiger Woods 2k5 is awesome.
Jade Empire is new and beautiful – seems to have a good storyline (I’m only about 4 hours into it)

24Good heavens. I am 26 years old and my girlfiend dumped me 3 weeks ago because she “feels second to Tommy Vercetti” who she calls “my first love”. But I don’t care!!!! I have been playing video games since the atari 2600 and GTA vice city is quite frankly the best VIDEO game ever made.
March 13th, 2006 at 9:55 pm
25Halo 2
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (I and II, both amazing games)
March 14th, 2006 at 7:38 pm
26Marc Thom your an idiot and a loser you make me sick and these lists usually sucked there was a few good games on the lists but they were mostly repeated. You freaks cant think of any good games yourself you gotta mooch off others ideas
P.S. 50 cent bulletproof??? trust me buddy your no xbox king not by a longshot! You make me sick!
March 15th, 2006 at 9:02 am
27i cant believe no 1 has said anything about sims2 on the xbox it is fantastic on the other sims u just ad a curser to interact with other things they were great but on sims 2 u can actualy control ure sims and make them do almost everything and if you have heard that there is no free play there is i looked at a magazine and it said there wasnt but there is of course this is a must buy game and also king kong and half life two there all fantastic and as mentoined fable great game
April 28th, 2006 at 5:57 pm
28ritchie153 u suck. Y would anyone in the right mind go out and buy pace of shit like SIMS. Shit if I wanted to see a chick take her clothes off id go and download some sick porn off the net and jack off all day long.
So stfu. And I agree with james bond u all make me sick. How fucking hard is it to pick a game.

30OMFG, solitaire? I mean come on!!! I bet femi-nazi is a mamma’s boy and doesn’t live an actual life! I recommend Splinter Cell 3: Chaos Theory which was an extremely cool game and Star Wars Battlefront 2.
July 8th, 2006 at 9:24 pm
31i would say you should get call of cthulhu dark corners of the earth. i have not played it but it looks pretty good and solitaire does suck.
