Best non sport xbox games
What are the must have non sport games for xbox? Not for the 360 but the old xbox.
I know Halo and Halo 2 are on the list.

Prince of Persia Series
Indigo Prophecy: it's an interactive movie more than anything, I played through it as Fahrenheit which is the same game with two sex scenes and some excess nudity in one of the extras. Very engrossing game, even if the ending isn't up to par.
Burnout 3: not really a sport game, most fun arcade racer, period.
Far Cry Instincts: Great despite poor AI, cheap too.
Splinter Cell
Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow
Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
Conker: Live and Reloaded (If you haven't played the n64 version)
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2x (I know it's an antique, but I had more fun with this rendition (as 2 on the DC) than any of the others, even if it is a little dated these days..may be considered a sports game)
The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay (one of my favorites)
The GTA games (3, VC, San Andreas) are well liked as well.
I think I'm the only person that wasn't a big fan of KotOR, but then I was never a fan of Star Wars.

Hmmm I have most of these games on other systems so you guys have good taste.
Theses are the ones that I should probably get. At least these are the ones I don't have on any system yet.
Ninja Gaiden Black
The Chronicles of Riddick
Jade Empire
Indigo Prophecy
Burnout 3

Yeah, I sold mine years ago but I may buy it back. Especially now that I've got an HDTV. I'll bet it looks awesome on an HDTV.

Most of my faves are mentioned, but I will second their votes:
Chonicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay
Prince of Persia: the Sands of Time
Burnout 3
Beyond Good & Evil
Add KOTOR (I never played, but it has garnered much praise), and you have five of the best games on the system, from five different genres. Not to mention they can all be had really cheap and will keep you busy for a while.

Indigo Prophecy <-- as much as I like it (and typed about in my last thread) this one is definitely a rental til the price comes down, it's just too short/easy. Though I'd like to support the developers, I never have $40 laying around to support em. Great game though.

That's a very subjective question. Everyone likes different types of games. For me it would be Morrowind. If I never owned any other xbox game, it would be worth the cost of the system and game just to play it. I think I've logged over 500 hours into it since it was first released back in 02.
