Xbox games I can't wait to play again
My Dad has mailed me the Xbox that he won in the charity raffle and I should be extra dope Xbox style by this weekend. The thing is that most of the best selling older Xbox games can be found used for less than the cost of a new music CD. Costco has most of the Xbox Platinum Hits for $15 instead of $20. That is officially whiggity whack!
The "Xbox only" games that I really want to play are
SNK Vs. Capcom SVC Chaos - I just freaking love 2d fighting games and it is a crying shame that this did not come out on the PS2 in the US of A.
Jet Set Radio Future - I will always love Jet Grind Radio
Halo - I heard it was dope
Dead or Alive 3 - one of the better looking pure eye candy 3d fighting games
Crazy Taxi 3 - I know it is super short but I just still love Crazy Taxi. My friend BBQ is still freakishly talented at playing Crazy Taxi.
Shenmue 2 - I have the subtitled European Dreamcast release of this game but it would be pretty cool to play through it again in English. It is weird to play a game that is set in Hong Kong where everyone speaks Japanese instead of Cantonese.
Panzer Dragoon Orta - I love Sega
Project Gotham Racing 2 - Varoom
Star Wars : Knights of the Old Republic - The force is strong with this one
Doom 3 - I'll make sure to play it in the dark
Blinx The Timesweeper - I thought this was a better than average 3d platform game that was fun
Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge - I loved the PC game
Ninja Gaiden - Ninjas are the real ultimate power and they will totally flip out and kill you without even thinking about it.

I can recommend:
SNK Vs. Capcom SVC Chaos
---> is OK.
Jet Set Radio Future
---> played it on DC, so no need to get it.
Halo - I heard it was dope
---> just another shooter.
Dead or Alive 3 - one of the better looking pure eye candy 3d fighting games
---> I like the game -> take a look at Xtreme Beach Volleyball too -> eye candy.
Project Gotham Racing 2 - Varoom
---> also: RALLISPORT CHALLENGE 1 and 2 are great!
Blinx The Timesweeper - I thought this was a better than average 3d platform game that was fun
---> whoaaaaa *boring*
Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge - I loved the PC game
---> completely different from the PC game yet I loved it: great action! great graphics.
Ninja Gaiden - Ninjas are the real ultimate power and they will totally flip out and kill you without even thinking about it.
---> I still haven't finished the game... but it's one of the best reason to win an xbox ;-)
also: try SCCT. Sam never looked as good as in this title.

Jet Set Radio Future is a sequal not a port.
Xtreme Beach Volleyball? I could just get real porn if I wanted.

I'd also recommend OutRun2, it's on the cheap now, and really quite lovely.
As is Phantom Dust, Yukio Futatsugi (PD,PD Zwei, Saga) was the lead director for the title.

Adam beat me to it.
I was going to recommend Phantom Dust and Outrun2 since you liked Crazy Taxi.

Don't forget Metal Slug X!

@Jake: I reviewed DOAXBV and gave it a 5 / 10. yet I was amazed that I actuelly felt the game was something special... just take a look at it... it's cheesy... it's gorgeous... and it's creative in its own way.

metal slug 3, 4, and 5.
"Shenmue 2 - I have the subtitled European Dreamcast release of this game but it would be pretty cool to play through it again in English. It is weird to play a game that is set in Hong Kong where everyone speaks Japanese instead of Cantonese."
wouldn't it be just as weird to hear it in english?
