Top X-Box Games
If you haven’t upgraded to the X-Box 360 yet, you might be interested in what the best games ever for the original X-Box are. Here’s our list.1.
Halo 2 - Considered by many critics to be the finest first-person shooter ever, Halo 2 grabs you by the throat from the opening moments and never lets up. You get new weapons, new enemies, and even new vehicles. You also get a new ass-kicking attitude which is especially evident when you utilize the new duel-wielding option, allowing you to carry two massive weapons of carnage at the same time. Factor in the massive multiplayer and online options, and you have a true Xbox classic.
2. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City - Set in the coked-out 80s, Vice City surrounds the player with pop culture references and fashion from a bygone era. It’s an improvement over GTA III in both graphics and playability, and you’ll truly feel as though you’re back in the days of Miami Vice as you cruise around in a speedboat listening to the mellow sounds of Glen Frey or Hall and Oates. It’s no mystery why this game is the best-selling title in North America for the PlayStation 2.
3. Tony Hawk’s Underground 2 - The definitive Tony Hawk experience, the designers at Neversoft essentially created two groundbreaking skateboard games (broken up into Classic and Story modes) all in one. Whether you’re grinding on the streets of New Orleans or Berlin, your every breathtaking move will be accompanied by music from artists as diverse as Frank Sinatra and Faith No More. Filled with new moves and wild adventures, Underground 2 remains the pinnacle of the series and a must-have for fans of extreme sports.
4. Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory - The adventures of master spy Sam Fisher continue in this wonderfully complex game. Players find themselves treated to a complex plot and a well-written script. The game includes some of the best textures ever seen for the platform, and the environments are real enough to make you feel as though you are truly immersed in the world. Throw in smooth game controls, a masterful score, and great voice acting, and you can see why Chaos Theory is so highly regarded by gamers around the world.
