Our roundup of the best original Xbox games shine a light on the many standout releases that made Microsoft's first gaming console such a revolutionary and memorable piece of hardware. Not only did see it a host of influential releases, such as the launch of the first Halo entry that continues to inspire some of the best FPS games of recent times, but it also established series that would go on to shape some of the best Xbox 360 games.
In fact, the original Xbox also arguably set the scene for some of the best Xbox One games and the best Xbox Series X games that followed too, with everything from the likes of Fable to Elder Scrolls and much more. While it's been over two decades since the console launched back in 2002 and we've seen several Xbox generations come after it, the fact that we continue to celebrate the games it was home to speaks to how many excellent experiences came to the original machine.
