    Since I made a thread asking about our top 10 favorite Gamecube games, I thought why not make the same thread for Microsoft's first foray into the console gaming market. Despite what a lot of fanboys say, the Xbox was a fine system and it had a lot of good good games for it other than the Halo franchies. It's probably my second favorite console of last generation of consoles.  
     
    My list: 
    1. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 
    2. Halo: Combat Evolved tied with Halo 2 
    3. Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory 
    4. The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay 
    5. Psychonauts 
    6. Ninja Gaiden 
    7. Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge 
    8. Panzer Dragoon: Orta 
    9. Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood 
    10. Project Gotham Racing 2 
     
    Now share your list. Note that it doesn't have to be in order or be a top 10.

    The Xbox was indeed a fine system. It was the last console I obtained during that generation and instantly became a favorite. But when I try to think of my favorite games on the platform I realize that I played a shit-load of multi-platform games on Xbox, so a few of those may sneak onto my list. 

    • Ninja Gaiden Black
    • Call of Cthulu: Dark Corners of the Earth
    • Dead or Alive Extreme Beach Volleyball (seriously)
    • Shenmue II
    • Soul Calibur II
    • Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
    • The Warriors
    • Psychonauts
    • Splinter Cell: tie between Pandora Tomorrow and Chaos Theory
    • Star Wars: Jedi Academy

    There aren't many Star Wars games for this gen, but every Star Wars game for this gen stinks to begin with.

    MechAssault - I fucking loved MechAssault
    Halo 2 - I think I played that more than was healthy when it was released. Was much less fun when people got good at it. 
    Halo CE - Had a bunch of sweet parties with this one, also played it at conventions and stuff. Loads of fun. 
    Elder Scrolls III - I never actually finished the game. I would always just run around and explore the world and get sidetracked and then forget that OH YEAH I have to go to that huge city on the south side of the continent.  
    Dead or Alive 3 
    Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time  
    Ninja Gaiden 
    Doom 3 (Yes, really.)  
     
    Never got to play Panzer Dragoon Orta, though I seriously considered it.

    Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one. But sometimes you should keep them to yourselves. THe last time I saw someone said "x console sucks" in in a similiar thread, sparked a fucking flame war. I'm not going to argue whether the Xbox's gaming libarary stinks or not, so please, don't do anything that would obviously instigate flame wars.
