    List of must haves is limited: Psychnoauts, Oddworld Stranger's Wrath and KOTOR (even though I only played the supposedly sub-par sequel) are the only three truly special games I can think of.
    Lots of others that are very, very good: Ninja Gaiden Black for example.

    Halo... Nah, I'm just kidding, I find those games over-rated, but still enjoyable.

    Am, Shenmue II. Even though most won't agree, and technically it is a Dreamcast game...
    Hmmm, now seems like an appropriate time to say that I love Peter Moore!!!:pac::pac::pac:

    I second KOTOR, the first one is amazing. The sequel isn't as good, but worth a look if you like the first game. Or are a Star Wars nut.

    +2 - forgot about that.
    Must go back to it actually - never finished it for some reason. But a really terrific game.
    G'luck finding it though - ebay'll be your best bet alright.

    Original xbox must haves:

    Elder Scrolls 3
    Halo (the original)
    Ghost Recon 2 (although they're all great)
    Rainbow Six 3, Black Arrow
    Splinter Cell, any of them

    Now that I think of it... the list is endless... what kind of dames are you into???

    Can you get shenmue 2 on xbox live originals??? I would love to play that.
    Well seems to me that Ninja Gaidan Black stands out miles, Black is also a very cool game.

    KOTOR is by far my favourite game on the system. Beyond Good & Evil is an overlooked gem. Also, the sequel to one of my favourite Dreamcast games, Jet Set Radio Future.

    I think Mashed is a brilliant party game, pity it doesn't work on 360
