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.
Xbox
Platform »
Microsoft's first home gaming system and one of the first to include an internal hard drive and built in online play capability. It was considered the first console to have fully supported meaningful online play.
What are your top 10 favorite Xbox games?
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.

Those are the only games I really enjoyed on the OG Xbox.
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.
Only one of my top 10 that hasn't been mentioned is GunValkyrie.
WAIT! I lied.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Choas Bleeds
Hunter the Reckoning
Everything else has been mentioned.
WAIT X 2
Phantom Dust

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.
