Top 10 Best Xbox Games

Xbox brought the heat with games that didn't just pass the time. They stole it. From blood-pumping firefights to sprawling open-world chaos to dialogue trees that actually made you think twice, these titles weren't just part of your collection. They were your weekends.

So here's your chance to give those games the credit they earned. Vote for the ones that pulled you in and refused to let go. The ones you still talk about like they dropped last week. Scroll through the list and make your picks. And if your favorite isn't getting the love it deserves? Change that. You're not just remembering the greats. You're deciding which ones still rule.

The Top Ten

Halo 2

Halo 2 is a first-person shooter developed by Bungie and published by Microsoft Game Studios for the original Xbox. It introduced dual-wielding weapons and expanded multiplayer through Xbox Live. The game continues the story of the Master Chief and the conflict with the Covenant.

By the time this came out, I wondered why they even bothered making other shooters. I would play this for days whenever I could. It was a blast!
This game is more fun than Black Ops, Ghosts, and Advanced Warfare, and it was made in 2004! I don't know how many hours I spent playing levels on Legendary to collect all the skulls and played multiplayer for hundreds of hours. This game truly shines.

Forget multiplayer, this has the best campaign, story, and soundtrack of all time. I don't know why everyone cries about the ending - cliffhangers are great! It's better than Halo 3 in every way.
Oh, and it also has the greatest multiplayer of all time.
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

After Halo 2, this game is the best on Xbox. But all in all, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is the best game of all time.

Nothing can beat this game! Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is the king in video games and the best game of all time!

Best game ever. It has a little bit of everything: flying, superpowers, killing, and even dating. Just awesome.
Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic

I really wish there were more games like this. By the way, I have all the games in the top three at the time of this post. All of them are really fun, but this is my favorite.

It is developed by Lucas Studios, and my friend's name is also Lucas. It's a great game!

Still my favourite game after all these years.
Halo: Combat Evolved

Having two Halo games at the very top should tell everyone how awesome the series is! I have to vote for Halo CE! It's so hard to say which is better, but Halo CE, I feel, was better overall.
Halo 2 had a much better multiplayer, but the horrible cliffhanger and the graphic problems I experienced in this game bring it a little below Halo CE. It came so close to beating Halo CE, which I didn't think could be possible.
Halo 3 eventually beat both games by far in every way: multiplayer, campaign, graphics, story, guns, vehicles, gameplay, online matchmaking, customization of armor, new features, etc.

I love Halo, and this is the game that started it all. Very few can compare to its graphics at the time, the story, the soundtrack, the adventure, and the multiplayer. This game blew me away.
When my brother first picked this up, I was unhappy because science fiction and fighting aliens were not my thing. I ended up becoming a bigger fan than he is. This is one heck of a game!
Burnout 3: Takedown

The last good Burnout game before the series completely lost its mojo. This one still had consequences for hitting other cars, which made it way more exciting.

Dang, I forgot this was the original Xbox, not Xbox 360. My friend and I gamed on this back in 2009, and man, it was so much fun. Those were the days.

Love the cars, stunts, and crashes.
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

The best Grand Theft Auto game.
Fable

This is by far the best, most well thought out, most exciting game that I have ever played!

I remember watching my dad play this.
Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind

Most underrated RPG on Xbox.
In my opinion, one of the best games of all time.

It's way better than Skyrim. The best Elder Scrolls ever.

One of the best Elder Scrolls games made.
Knights of the Old Republic II

I felt that this was overall better than its prequel in every way, from converting your followers to being able to finally use Battle Meditation in combat.
Sure, some of the Force powers may as well be non-canon, but who cares? It was a fun game that had much variety within it. To this day, I find new routes and dialogue options that I had never even known existed with each playthrough.

It's a good Star Wars style RPG with a good story.

Play it any way you want, and it's still the best.

Conker: Live & Reloaded

One time my mom almost bought me this game as a kid. I was disappointed that I wouldn't get to play it. Now I can see why they put the 17+ rating there.

From an opera-singing pile of manure to more crude humor, this title surely turned the tide of the next-gen gaming arena.

This should be at number 1 right now or I will be very upset.
Grand Theft Auto III
Tomb Raider: Legend

How is this not on top? After that flop, Angel of Darkness, Crystal Dynamics and Eidos did amazing! The story is flawless, the boards are amazing, and the character development is awesome.
More people need to take a break from first-person shooters and play this!

Vote for this. This is one of the best games I've ever played. Lara is awesome! They added new features like a grapple hook, and the level design is amazing.
Buy this. It's awesome! Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

One of the best Tomb Raider games ever! If it wasn't for this, I wouldn't have other Tomb Raider games. Heck, I wouldn't even have half the games I have now.
This inspired me to buy more video games.
Half Life 2

How on earth is this so low? One of the best-looking and performing games on the Box.

I forgot that this was also available on Xbox. It's mainly a PC game, but since it's here, I might as well give it my vote.
Max Payne

Just plain beast. Best game of the decade. I especially liked the part when you get to use all those 3D features for more realistic content.
Jade Empire

Amazing game, incredibly underrated, and an epic story, as to be expected from BioWare.
Star Wars: Battlefront II

Spent too many hours to count on this game. Easily my favorite Xbox game of all time.

One of my favorite games of all time. The graphics have not aged too well, but if you play it on the Xbox One X, then it is a lot better.

This game is fun. I played this the most on my Xbox.
Ninja Gaiden

This game is just pure awesomeness! Ninja Gaiden for the original Xbox is one of the best-looking and greatest games of all time.

I love this game. It's like Metal Gear Solid mixed with somewhat hack and slash fighting, but it's more one on one.

It's the only decent game on this list besides Burnout 3.
Grand Theft Auto Double Pack

Grand Theft Auto III and Vice City in one pack. How could you go wrong?
