    Burnout (and a lot of multiplatform stuff) was much better on the Xbox than it was on the PS2.
    It adds to the value of the big box.

    I loved my Xbox but my game library for it was actually surprisingly limited and as it was actually at my grandparents back then I didn't get a lot of time to play it. From this list Burnout 3 and Star Wars Battlefront where firm favorites, as well as the obvious two halo games that basically got me into console gaming. Another driving classic I used to adore was Need for Speed Most Wanted, as I say my game library was a bit limited so im not sure how it stacked up to the competition, but I loved it.

    I love my xbox and unlike the three xbox 360's that have died on me it's still running perfectly to this day and I still play it.

    If anybody has not yet played Psychonauts do yourself a favour and do so. It is the best game of it's kind ever made and is genuinely laugh out loud funny which is something hardly any games have ever achieved.

    The list is really good, although I prefer Battlefront 1 for some reason and have just finished playing through every level again on hard mode. Great fun.

    and forgot to say, I never really liked Halo, probably due to the fact I grew up playing PC FPS' which were vastly superior a decade before Halo was even made. I think it's only popular because it brought decent FPS' to the mass console gaming market.

    Halo 2 at the top is respectable. I was surprised to see Pandora Tomorrow... Chaos Theory was the best Splinter Cell.

    This is one of the most best GAME SYSTEMS of all time. SERIOUSLY, the only SYSTEMS that are BETTER THAN THE XBOX is the 360, iPhone, and iPad. Also, haha IT'S a 10 year old SYSTEM and it still has BETTER graphics THAN the STUPID Wii U. Copy, pasted, and proofread for your small reptilian brain.

    It saddens me that Jet Set Radio Future was not put on this list, it might be the fan boy in me talking, but I feel that JSRF was a great game, with an even better soundtrack that continues to affect my life to this day. Oh well

    The Rainbow 6 and Ghost Recon games filled in the tactical shooter slot of Xbox Live quite nicely. They were regularly in my console.

    Halo, Forza, and Project Gotham were all permanent fixtures within my Xbox console. Such great games and definitely one of the best systems of all time hands down, no questions asked.

    I like how 90% of the list (don't quote me on that, I'm obviously exaggerating, even if only slightly) is multi-platform games since Xbox has no exclusives besides Halo, Fable, and Forza.

    And Halo: Combat Evolved was way better than 2. The only thing it added was much improved multi-player.

    From my experience with games like Max Payne, GTA, BiA and SW:BF the Xbox version was often the definitive version of the title, with vastly superior textures, effects, framerate and use of the hard drive. Either that or they really couldn't find any worthy exclusives though I could name a few that deserved to be on the list regardless of exclusivity...
