I'm thinking about picking up an original Xbox, and I'm just wondering what are some of the good games out there for it. Don't recommend Halo or Halo 2 to me, I really don't like that series. Tell me what the best platformer and adventure games are for it.

I didn't say I AM going to get one. I'll consider it if i find at least 15 or 20 games I'm interested in for it.

Right now the list is:

Conker Live and Reloaded
Psychonauts (Love the PS2 version)
Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath
Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee
Jet Set Radio Future
Shenmue 2
Gunvalkyrie
Ninja Gaiden

Some exclusives that are worth picking up are...
Forza Motor Sports
Project Gotham Racing 1 and 2
Sid Mier's Pirates!
Panzer Dragoon Orta
Dead Or Alive Ultimate, and DOA 3
Spy Vs. Spy  (but it's an aquired taste)
Phantom Dust
DOOM 3

...  and the many multiconsole games that look way better, load faster, and sometimes have custom soundtrack options on the XBox.

Panzer Dragoon Oorta
DoA Ultimate and DoA3
Doom 3
The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind

pretty much the same stuff DevIancE said.  Oh, and the better ports on the cross platform titles of course.  (Advent Rising, Beyond Good and Evil, the GTA series, Star Wars: Battlefront I&II, KotOR I&II, etc.)  Some decent PC tie-ins are out there too.

Just do yourself a favor and don't get Counter Strike or Star Wars: Obi-Wan.

Otherwise, your list looks fairly solid.  Conker's is a good choice because its the same game as the n64 version with a few changes. (and an uninspiring third-person shooter tacked on the side)

oh and for the gag suggestions laugh

Big Bumpin'
PocketBike Racer
Sneak King

OK, seriously.  These three are definitely worth their price tag (and the burger and fries you had to buy to get them).

I know, I know. I'm just as shocked as you are. Maybe I'll get a 360 in 5 or 7 years as well!  Shocked Shocked Shocked

Fable: The Lost Chapters is the one to get, it has a lot of added content to it. The original Fable, while good, is too short.

Action based is ok, just no FPS games.
