Considering the plethora of xbox games that sell for extremely low prices, I know there has to be a few gems I've glanced over without giving them the time of day. What are some of your favorites?
Manhunt : Controls are solid (if you hold down left trigger). The gameplay is addictive and I really like the realistic use of weapons. The headset addition is just icing on the cake
Ninja Gaiden : Really can't think of an adventure game that has this kind of depth, action, and is really a challenge. I can't help but feel like a "ninja" after beating this game

Yeah Manhunt might be my favorite game of all time. I get tired of defending it, but it was just the most fun I've ever had beating a game.
Popping out of cover behind that bush in front of the big house full of goons and getting like... 32 head shots in a row was one of my better gaming moments.
I've got NGBlack on the way from an Ebay order and right now I'm working my way through GTAIII again.

i thought the game got a little too easy once you start getting a ton of guns, but I really can't think of a game I want more right now for my Wii (Manhunt 2)

Off the top of my head:
Batman Begins...actually finished this one. :up:
Star Wars: Battlefront II...mostly online
Star Wars: Republic Commando..I wish they would do more with the Special Clone divisions. :up:
Darkwatch...love the game but I haven't finished it yet.
Panzer Dragon Orta
I wish I could say KOTOR and KOTOR II but they never ran right on my 360 so I sold them. I see them cheap at Gamestop so maybe I'll buy them again. Others say they run great but mine never did. Anyway, you can get used XBOX games for less than $10 in some cases so I may add to XBOX games stack.

I kind of grew my shooting skills with that game, and I started playing it thinking it was going to be 100% horror/stealth.
For me it was a perfect game to improve my quick shot and firing from cover techniques. I liked the aiming system in Manhunt. I felt like I could actually make progress if I worked hard at it.
It also seemed like it was balanced (for me). One level would be fairly easy if you knew the right strategy to use, like the rail-yard, but still not a cake walk... then the next (for me) would be much harder.
The other great thing about Manhunt was that those kill animations just NEVER get old. :)

Having never played either nor owned an Xbox I was curious and got KOTOR II. Something seemed kind of wonky about it and I never got into it, though I wasn't sure if it was because of the b/c or just wasn't into the style of gameplay. But if people are saying it doesn't run well I guess that could explain it.

Yeah to be honest I can't remember how KOTOR I ran but KOTOR II definately had issues on my 360. I would have these loud sound glitches and the gameplay seemed 'Jerky' and not smooth. I wonder if it will run now that I have a refurb? But then again I still have the same Hard Drive so I don't know.

Other than what has been mentioned -
Soul Calibur II. Quite possibly the perfect 3d fighting game (ok...at least second place to the original Soul Calibur on the Dreamcast).
Panzer Dragoon Orta is just fantastic.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4.

I love the first Buffy the Vampire Slayer game.

I will give a hearty second to Stubbs the Zombie. An overlooked gem with a great soundtrack. Hell i bought the soundtrack and listen to it regularly - it is full of awesome covers. It is also a really funny game.
The first Buffy was also a good deal of fun.
I do have to disagree with Fable though. Maybe it was because i followed the development and nothing promised actually panned out... but i hated Fable and thought it was a very generic action game with mild RPG elements.

Jet Set Radio Future and GTA 3 are the only 2 I have right now, oh yeah and Sega GT 2002 on the JSRF disc.
I really need to get both Buffy games again, and Panzer Dragoon Orta (I remember loving that game)
And I've always wanted to try Psychonauts, Stubbs the Zombie and Manhunt.

Not that I know of. The only way I could think of would be to somehow get your xbox saves onto a computer then use that kit that hooks up the 360 to a computer. I sold my xbox but kept all my important saves on a memory card.

that really shouldn't be that hard
noonan4224
08-09-07, 08:56 AM
It doesn't seem like it would be but I've never heard of anyone doing it successfully. It's possible that the 360 saves xbox games differently than the original xbox did. Maybe if there's a way to download the xbox saves you could do it. I don't know of any way to transfer them from a xbox memory card onto a computer.

im sure there has to be a way now to hook your 360 HDD to a computer. Shit, I know you can hook your drive up to the computer, don't see how it could be much harder to connect an HDD

Hooking up the 360 to the computer isn't the issue. It's getting my saves from an xbox memory card onto the computer that's the problem.
KurrptSenate

well, there are ways to hook a regular xbox HDD to a computer
i'm sure extracting the save at that point would be easy

Psychonauts!
If you even have the slightest passing interest in platformers, you need to play this game. It was one of the most fun and satisfying video gaming experiences I've ever had.

Conker kicks Psychonauts ass. ;)
I wish Rare would give us Conker 2.

The difference being that Psychonauts is actually funny in a very smart way with great characters (and much longer, with better gameplay and more diverse levels), while Conker is funny in a low-brow Family Guy sort of way.... What I'm saying is that Psychonauts absolutely obliterates Conkert, that, and it's not a rehash of an N64 game.

The only XBOX game to grace my 360 has been Halo 2, so I guess that is it. I only have a handful of XBOX games (Halo1/2, GTA:SA, Fuzion Frenzy and Doom 3 I believe).

Did you try to set your 360 to 480p? Sometimes this helps with old XBOX games.

But in terms of gameplay, Conker's is still more fun.

The only thing I'll concede to Conker is that it's so short, and it's "levels" are so quick, that it never over-stays it's welcome and become redundant. Psychonauts is just more of a good thing, that might get long in the tooth for some (though I do admit it starts off kinda slowly and doesn't really give you the goods until a few levels in, whereas Conker gives you a blow job right off the bat).
