I've noticed that there are several good Xbox titles that have been completely ignored by the general public. Recently I got George A. Romero's Land of the Dead for my Xbox and can't believe how much fun it is. Granted, there are a couple glitches, but gameplay is a lot of fun. There's a ton of bloodshed and guts coming from the zombies, moreso than most games. It also has a great atmosphere that'll give you the creeps. I couldn't believe this game existed and I'd never heard about it. What are some of your other great Xbox finds?

Hit and Run. I wouldn't have thought about it, unless you mentioned it. i really liked playing this game, and I'm not a kid! It relaly is fun, and it's an added bonus if you are a fan of the show, which I am.


What did the five fingers say to the face?! Slllap!!

Project: Snowblind came out last year and didn't get much recognition, but it's a good shooter.

Phantom Dust -- Action/Strategy with very unique gameplay.


Ask not what you can do for your country... ask what your country did to you.

Outrun 2 and Red Dead Revolver didn't sell bucketloads as far as I know.

Wreckless: Unbridled vehicular mayhem… dense environments with awesome automotive physics that differ significantly based on the chosen vehicle (great unlockables too). After playing this game non-stop for a month, I was worried that I might have a mental lapse and drive fearlessly, for real, into oncoming traffic. ;-) Grand Theft Auto doesn’t hold a candle to this game’s intensity or need for stunt work.

Shenmue II: Very immersive, interactive story that always makes you want to uncover more; very addictive in that sense. Features a very unique graphic style that lends itself to a entertaining realism unmatched by other games. It also contains a disc with the entire first game edited to a single movie. You can get caught up with the story by watching a coherent series of in-game cutscenes and gameplay. Apparently the game footage (mini-movie) was an actual theatrical release. Don’t quote me on that though. Again, deep story.

I'm hoping people buy psychonauts and stubbs the zombie as they will probably be ignored.
