For anyone to comment on, I recently got an original Xbox again and I am now in the process of building a collection. So anyone have any recommendations for hidden gems on the Xbox? Such as games that didnt get alot of hype or agood score from gamespot, but you thought they were great. Im not talking about the givens obviously, such as Halo, Kotor, or Max Payne..im talking about games such as Indigo Prophecy or Psi-ops, which I have heard good things about. So anyone have any favorites that others may like so much that they would recommend? As for the genre of the game, I really play all types of games and enjoy them all, so that doesnt really matter to me..

Both KOTOR's are definitely awesome. Shenmue II is another excellent game. Fable, Theif, Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind Game of the Year Edition, Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher's Bay, Ninja Gaiden, Beyond Good and Evil, Psychonauts, Jade Empire, Doom 3, Indigo Prophecy, Gladius, Conker: Live and Reloaded, Otogi 1 and 2, Metal Slug 3, 4 and 5, Fatal Frame 1 and 2, and there are probably many more, but I can't remember them all :(

Those are games people already knew about, to be honest, there are no hidden gems on the xbox. Halo is all we needed;)

Lol, thanks for the compliment. As my collection is very close to 200 Xbox games, I'm starting to get a fair amount of experience. The problem is that I haven't played them all yet... RDR is still shrink-wrapped, so I haven't played it yet, and DA2 is so hard to find, not to mention the hefty price tag on it. Definitely one of the benefits to my addiction is getting a good idea of some of the good games.

You can't find Dark Alliance 2? It's pretty common here and it costs about $2 new :shock: What are stores thinking over there?!

Baulders Gate 1 and 2 are definitely 2 games that I want to get. But as @muthsera666 stated above I cant seem to find a complete version of either for a decent price. Timespliiters 2 is another game that is a must have to me, although there are very few of them and most are pretty expensive as well.

Are you serious? I've seen it once in all the times I've got to GameStops and f.y.e. and Walmart and Kmart and so on. It was about two or three years ago, and it has a used price of $35! Where do you live again? You're in a PAL region, aren't you...

Missed it. I didn't get a chance to get back online last night. However, the page did show me a list of several other copies that I might have to seriously consider. Thanks a lot!

There was one that the current bid was USD 3, but I doubt it's going to stay that low... It runs out tomorrow night, so I'll be watching and trying it.
