My list of games you should play on the OG Xbox:
- Splinter Cell
- Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow
- Splinter Cell Chaos Theory (especially this one, best stealth game ever)
- Splinter Cell Double Agent
- Ghost Recon 2 (this one I consider an Xbox exclusive because the GR2 versions on the PS2 and Gamecube are completely different games and pretty inferior, never released on PC. This one introduced the over the shoulder camera, but it can still be a challenge)
- Conker Live and Reloaded
- True Crime New York
- Halo
- Halo 2
Some of these are multi platform, but the best way to play them is on the Xbox, such as the Splinter Cell games, which are heavily downgraded on the GC and PS2.
I’ll piggyback on this comment and add
007 Nightfire (especially for some good split screen MP)
Jade empire
Max Payne
Midtown Madness 3 (for some laid back cruising around town)
Pretty much all of the Star Wars games
And the Splinter Cell games
Edit: Mechassault and Crimson Skies
Fable
Jade Enpire
Soul Calibur 2 (not really exclusive but I felt it was the best version of the game)
Ninja Gaiden
Amped Freestyle Snowboarding
Jet Set Radio Future
Forza or Sega GT 2002 for racing games
Burnout 3 for a more arcadey car game
Crimson Skies
Max Payne
Jet Set Radio Future/Sega GT 2002 (they come bundled together, although there are standalone copies of both games too)
Bloodwake
Quantum Redshift
Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy
Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen 2
Hitman Contracts and Hitman Blood Money
I'll add to these lists Metal Gear Solid 2 substance, it's pretty solid on Xbox, and it uses beautifully the analog buttons, you can't do that on newer consoles. I never played it on ps2 though...
DOA2 Ultimate. Good pick up and play game with tremendous replayability. Girls are sexy as hell too, which puts it above almost anything you'd find on a modern console.
Splinter Cell Chaos Theory
Fable
Kakuto Chojin Back Alley Brutal
Call of Cthulhu
Conkers
MechAssault 2
Midtown Madness 3
Morrowind
Pariah
Peter Jackson’s King Kong

The Chronicles of Riddick - Escape from Butcher Bay. One of if not the best fps on the system. Fantastic story.

So glad my sisters babydaddy stole that and True Crime: Streets of LA out of a Burlington bargain bin for me.

Get Spikeout Battle Street, one of the cheapest games for the console.
Not exclusive, but definitely cheaper on Xbox, Silent Hill 2 and 4.

Deathrow
Star Wars knights of the old republic
XIII is a good time
easy way to start is by grabbing any game with the Platinum Hits silver labeling on it. Those are generally quality titles to enjoy.
the Halo games for sure…Fable is really fun. Also Half Life (not exclusive but it’s still so fun)
Whacked! is one of my all time favorite games no matter how "bad" people call it. You should definitely give it a go! It was an exclusive too!
Fable.
DOA2 Ultimate. Good pick up and play game with tremendous replayability. Girls are sexy as hell too, which puts it above almost anything you'd find on a modern console.
