News Credits: 8 | A question regarding the original Xbox games (and which Xbox games should I buy?) I have a few questions regarding the original Xbox. Right now I have a 360 (and quite a few games for it), and I've had some thoughts about getting original Xbox games (not the Xbox Originals that you can get on Xbox Live, 1200 Microsoft Points is pushing it too far for me, IMO). Now, I'm aware that the 360 is backwards compatible with some Xbox games. So, I need some answers here:
1. Can original Xbox games that have Xbox Live capability be played online with the 360 (like Halo 2)?
2. Is it possible to save original Xbox games on the 360? Or am I out of luck?
Now, I already have plans on getting Halo 1 and 2, so which original Xbox games should I buy? |

It keeps freezing near the end.
hxcpunk has a good list. Ninja Gaiden Black was also fun.
There's also a GTA double pack with GTA 3 & Vice City included.
Incredible Hulk Ultimate Destruction was also a blast
There's always Gamefaqs top 10 list to pick from or research Xbox Cheats, Reviews, FAQs, Message Boards, and More - GameFAQs  Don't look at my stuff!! Which is Here! XBox live gamertag- chaos muffin |
