Poll: What XBox Original Should I Buy?

[A Raging Emo]

Psychonauts is terrible, don't listen to these Yahtzee fanboys/Tim Schaefer fanboys/art fags. The story is bland and just tries too hard to make itself look different and ends up being uninteresting. The controls and gameplay are lame, frustrating, and there's far too much currency grinding to ensure you can buy all the ridiculous gadgetry you need. Any one of those games listed up there are much better and not as boring.

There are so many better games you could buy gameplay wise, writing wise, or just overall. First in my mind is Portal but, since you only said Xbox originals, I voted Max Payne because it's a classic and near flawless.

I could buy portal. I have already finished it, though, and wouldn't find it as fun going through it a second time.

San Andreas? I thought 4 was the first GTA game on Xbox...

Anyways, I've heard that Psychonauts is pretty good.

He's talking games for the original Xbox

No D: cares D: about D: your D: opinion.

I suggest Unreal Tournament 2: The Liandri Conflict and Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath, if you don't have them.

Also, Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory.

I really can't describe UT2 (probably gonna try to review it soon, but I kinda suck at the game now), so I suggest checking out some video reviews or something. Oddworld is a combination 3rd-person platformer and FPS that works WAY better than you'd think it would. It's a great game.

Chaos Theory is arguably the best Splinter Cell game ever and possibly even the best stealth game ever, although I'd argue that Hitman: Blood Money is a better game (but some would say that BM really isn't much of a "stealth" game.)

All of these games can be had together for probably less than $15 American, if you shop secondhand. $20 at the most.

That was something I forgot to mention, I have Stranger's Wrath.

I'd say Indigo Prophecy, I heard that's really good.

indigo prophecy is just a movie where u have to push buttons to see it.

Well if you liked Halo, then go Halo 2.

Also I recommend Otogi, maybe give AVP extinction a try (alien Vs Predator), Half Life 2 perhaps.... but otherwise give ol' stubbs a try.

I've played and own all three Halo games.

I've only downloaded pshyoconauts but if you do buy it use the cheats for the game, it's almost unbearable
without them due to said currency grinding, that being said it has some truly funny moments but don't buy into the hype or you will be sorely dissaponited.

You might want to cheak out the Crash wrath of cotex if you haven't, that is if the load times are better than the PS2 version if not then don't

Also on a side note Portal still Alive is well worth it for new maps and acheviments that give the main game new challenges.

 

[Space Spoons]

Definitely San Andreas. It's a huge game in it's own right, and the enormous capacity for random chaos created by cheats that range from useful (tanks) to downright strange (circus mode, cars explode when you hit them, flying bikes), plus the limited multiplayer, send the the replay value right through the roof.

I played a bit of San Andreas and enjoyed it, but lot's of people are saying Psychonaughts...

 

[Captain_Caveman]

Max Payne. Good story, good action.

It is really, really good.

I've never rented any game, now I think about it.

 

[sorry user name taken.]

I'd say Indigo Prophecy, I heard that's really good.

Fahrenheit you mean >.>...


playing it at the moment (again) I'd also recommend it

 

[WingedFortress]

Ah shit, I was gonna say Psychonauts, but I didnt even know they had Max Payne 1&2. I need to get those.

And if that wasnt clear enough, get Max Payne.

 

[A Raging Emo]

What about Burnout 3? It was the peak of one of the best and most destructive racing series ever,

I also have that game.

I really should have a full look at what games there are.

 

[macapus]

(First off, this is my first thread, please be gentle)

Title says it all, what XBox Original could I buy from XBox LIVE Marketplace? I already have my own copies of Halo: CE, Jade Empire and Destroy all Humans! and Fable 1, so those are out of the picture.

Please vote as I need something new to play!

Original Splinter Cell. One of my favorite games ever!

Is Conker: Live and Reloaded avaliable?
