The best original Xbox games of all time

Looking back at the greatest games to ever grace Microsoft's first console. 

The original Xbox is somehow already two decades old. Anyone else feel ancient? Here are the finest ever games for Team Green's first machine...

7. PSYCHONAUTS

Few Xbox titles will tickle your funny bone like Tim Schafer's wonderfully odd platformer. Want to battle a King Kong-sized lungfish? Meet your dream game. 

6. OUTRUN 2006
COAST 2 COAST

An irresistible arcade racer that manages to pip Project Gotham Racing to the finish line. Drifting around its 30 sensational locations is a breezy joy. 

5. GRAND THEFT AUTO: SAN ANDREAS

Lose yourself to Rockstar's fictional California-aping state in what's easily the most ambitious entry of Xbox's GTA trilogy. A sweeping crime classic. 

4. NINJA GAIDEN BLACK

The greatest hack-and-slash game on Microsoft's console. Huge amounts of gore and brutal bosses make for a punishing, exhilirating spectacle.

3. STAR WARS: KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC

A riveting RPG, and one of the greatest Star Wars games of all time. KOTOR's Force-focused combat is just as well crafted as its rich dialogue. 

2. HALO 2

The game that launched Xbox Live remains a hugely exciting shooter. No other console game of the time could compete with Halo 2's online matches. 

1. HALO: COMBAT EVOLVED

The original Xbox's best game is arguably the greatest launch title ever made. One of the most influential first-person shooters of all time.
