Love my Xbox! Steel Battalion, Blood Wake, and so SO MANY quality exclusives.
Legends!
Amazing console! I bought all of these games on it :D
Those titles are VERY mainstream.
My favourite console of all time! I abandoned my ps2 shortly after I bought my Xbox. Such great memories - especially online. Odd that Rainbow Six 3 isn't on this list. Mech Assault and Burnout 3: Takedown are surprising omissions as well.
A dumb question, why is Project Gotham Racing called that? What is the Gotham part? The game is not set on the DC universe, and I can only find two cities called Gotham: one in the UK and one in Wisconsin, neither of them matching the game's setting. Where is the game located? Where is Gotham?
Why all the downvotes? I just asked a question. :(
insane amount of power for its generation. Gamecube was competitive in a few categories, but raw power the OG Xbox was pretty sick. Threw in Project Gotham Racing recently and honestly it looks pretty good today
