A long time ago I got an Xbox. I got this Xbox for one purpose, and that was Morrowind. Fortunately, I also got two KOTOR games on the system as a bonus. Crazy you say? Well I got 300+ hours out of Morrowind on just the mage save file I did, and only quit because of one little plot wrinkle in one of the expansions (not bloodmoon, the other one) in which I locked myself out of some little sub-plot, so I'm happy with the dollars/time I got out of it.
Anyways,
Fast forward one generation of consoles. I'm getting more and more back into console games as the tight grip of FFXI loosens more each passing month. Friends quit, **** gets old, semester work, etc. I'm not quitting ffxi or anything, but I'm not logged in more than twice a week for most weeks. It's much easier for me to play MP3 for my 3 hours (or so) of downtime per day or Elite Beat Agents in between classes while I'm away from the dormitory, than to try to keep up with ffxi as I used to be.
I figure that by now, many original Xbox games are probably pretty damn cheap, and used also. I'm highly considering digging the thing out of mothballs and hooking it up for some hopefully cheap, but also good, entertainment that I missed while I was so hooked into ffxi during the system's prime, and maybe to bide the time until the Wii gets Fire Emblem and Brawl. It's certainly not the most memorable system for me, but I'm sure that it's got some good titles out there also.
It might help to know my specific genres of interest; basically, I'm highly attuned to RPGs, SPRGs, strategey (real time or turn based) adventure (or adventure rpgs), and receptive to other things upon suggestion. Basically I'm looking for recommendations. On my list so far are Fable, and Halo. I figure I might as well at least give Halo a try, and Fable (while I'm not expecting morrowind) got favorable reviews at least.
tl;dr just answer the question in the title
