Looking for short, but sweet games for the original Xbox...

Post by Flak Beard »

I want to pick up few more titles for the Xbox since they are cheap right. I'm looking for some good titles that aren't huge time sinks, ideally around 10 hours or under.

Here's what I currently have already in my collection...

Armed & Dangerous
Burnout 3
Castlevania: Curse of Darkness
Doom 3
Fable
Half-Life 2
Halo 2
Halo: Combat Evolved
Jade Empire
Jet Set Radio Future
Metal Arms
Morrowind
Ninja Gaiden Black
Phantasy Star Online
Prince of Persia: Sands of Time
Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones
Prince of Persia: Warrior Within
Project Snowblind
Serious Sam
Serious Sam 2
Splinter Cell
Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
Unreal Championship

Any particular genres, or is this an "anything goes" kind of deal?

The Otogi games don't stretch on overlong.

OOH, and definitely put Black through it's paces. It's terrific.

Pretty much anything goes. Only genres I really don't play are fighting games and sports.

Definitely. You could also try Crimson Skies or Hunter: The Reckoning if you're into Gauntlet style games.

I second the Otogi series being a must play.

Darkwatch. It plays like Halo, but you're a vampire cowboy, and it only runs about 4-5 hours. Max Payne 2 is a good choice, too. I thought the first one ran on a bit long, but #2 is only about 6ish hours long. I beat it over 2 days of casual play.

How come I don't see Panzer Dragoon Orta and Xyanide in your collection? Shame, shame now go say 50 Halo Marys and you will be forgiven.
