Which Xbox Original should I download?
 
Right, so I have 1,200 MS Points and I'm thinking about downloading an Xbox Original. I never had the first Xbox so most of them are new to me.

I can't decide which though.
I already downloaded the original Fable so I can't download that again. I'm thinking Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory because I remember playing the first one and liking it slightly but not much. Obviously, since then, I've grown a lot and I think it may be my kind of game now. I am tempted to give Crash Bandicoot another chance. I haven't played one since Crash 3 but I hear he's pretty bad now. Is Wrath of Cortex a good Crash game?
The more I type here, the more I'm leaning towards Splinter Cell. So what do you guys think? Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, Crash Bandicoot: Wrath of Cortex or another of the 22 available titles?

Edit: Full list here: http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-GB/ga...talog.aspx?d=5 turns out the UK only has 22 games but the US has 25.

I dunno what's on there now all I remember was Ninja Gaiden and Psychonauts, both were good Ninja Gaiden pretty hard but actually awesome.

Spend 3 dollars on the original disc used.

Or Psychonauts, since it's so beloved and harder to find.

Does the 360 play actual discs from the original Xbox? I thought it was only the downloadable ones.

I'd go with Chaos Theory, which will play in the 360. The Originals are a bit of a rip.

List of Xbox games compatible with the 360.

Thanks for the list. Looking at the UK list, I see no Chaos Theory, only Double Agent, so that'll probably be the one I download. It seems pretty pointless having games up for download when they can easily just be bought in store. Obviously it's to get more money out of us but, still.

Stubbs The Zombie

Drakul 01-15-2009 02:18 AM

I'm not entirely sure what the games about. Isn't it like Destroy All Humans but with a zombie?

Funky Fly 01-15-2009 02:23 AM

Either Burnout 3 or Ninja Gaiden Black. Both games are sex.

Mr. Monday Morning 01-15-2009 07:50 AM

If you've not played Psychonauts definitely get that.

Crimson Skies is fun.

It has limited software emulation. It's worth noting that the emulation is how they run the download versions, so they are effectively forced to run the discs as well.

Hell Yes.

Guilty Gear is the only one that can be tough to find in stores, that is worth the originals price tag.

Savio 01-15-2009 10:15 AM

Download N-game its hard but fun

Drakul 01-15-2009 11:38 AM

I should probably do a bit more research on Physconauts, N-Game etc. By reasearch, I mean, watching videos on YouTube.
I have Burnout 3 for the Ps2 so no need for that plus I want to pick up Burnout Revenge or Paradise sometime this year so I can wait for that.
Thanks for the help, everyone, though. :y:

TBH I'd advise anyone curious about this to rent it, game's just not long enough. And the ending :|

Will be interested to see what they do with Heavy Rain though.

Funky Fly 01-15-2009 04:57 PM

Guilty Gear isn't available as an original in the UK, guys. Did you not look at the list?

Fignuts 01-16-2009 09:31 AM

No. What am I, list reading guy? Come on.
