xbox online? and xbox games...

Jade Empire

Morrowind Game of the year (awesome game. pc version is better as there are thousands of mods for it, but the xbox version's value is insane too)

Fable The Lost Chapters (=Fable plus Expansion) 

Knights of the old Republic 1 and 2 (turn-based. Similar to Neverwinter Nights but set in a StarWars universe)

Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance 1 and 2 (hack'n'slash! Unfortunately not like pc Baldur's Gate!)

You need to be aware that what used to be called just "Xbox Live" is now "Xbox Live Silver" and "Xbox Live Gold". In order to play online you need "Xbox Live Gold". The fine print on the Gold subscriptions says you need an Xbox 360, when in fact, the subscription codes work for an Original Xbox as well. There are features of Gold that your Original Xbox cannot take advantage of, like the Marketplace, for example.

Also you have to be aware by now that no more games are being published for the Original Xbox, so even if you do get online, the community that is there is only going to get smaller with time. According to the stats posted on Major Nelson's blog, here are the top ten games played on Live on the Original Xbox the week of March 12:

Original Xbox Top Live Games
1 Halo 2
2 Battlefield 2: MC
3 Madden NFL 07
4 Star Wars: Battlfrnt 2
5 Counter-Strike
6 Forza Motorsport
7 Call of Duty 3
8 Ghost Recon 2
9 PGR 2
10 Rainbow Six 3

Regardless, even with the RPGs and the solo play of the games listed above, you have many many hours of gameplay ahead of you to enjoy.
