Japan ended up getting a smaller controller, which eventually replaced the grizzly bear original in the west. If you have an original Xbox, it's highly recommended you mod it, either by a softmod or a modchip. This gives you access to an excellent [[wp>media center]], and many excellent and full speed emulators. | {{:fig:recommended:xbox_cat.jpg }} Microsoft's first game console that was host to //[[game:Halo]]// LAN parties, [[company:Sega]] exclusives, and the world's largest first party controller.

| * Swarm: Way more interesting strictly as an exploration game you can chill out in. Every time I think I'm going to start up a new game and play through the game again, I just end up loading an old save and skating through my favorite levels, admiring the cel-shaded not-Tokyo environments, hanging out in record stores and under glass-roofed shopping strips. | * Swarm: Way more interesting strictly as an exploration game you can chill out in.

| * Leau: The two //Kingdom Under Fire// games are great if you like strategy and/or //[[game:dynasty_warriors_series|Dynasty Warriors]]// and also totally cheap. It's one of those games that I'd easily reccomend if only because there isn't much else like it on the xbox. | * Leau: The two //Kingdom Under Fire// games are great if you like strategy and/or //[[game:dynasty_warriors_series|Dynasty Warriors]]// and also totally cheap.

| * Swarm: The epitomy of mid 2000s Rockstar Games, when addition to making murder simulators they were into financing movies and making games based on 70s cult films. //The Warriors// feels like a game only they could of made. It's awesome to just dive (literally) into a group of enemies and start wailing on them. At points of the game there can be like 25 CPU's going at it, just hitting each other with whatever they can get their hands on. Nails the post apocalyptic setting of the film and brings back the cast and soundtrack, and features a pretty good secret Double Dragon clone. Play it on the OG Xbox for 720p widescreen support! | * Swarm: The epitomy of mid 2000s Rockstar Games, when addition to making murder simulators they were into financing movies and making games based on 70s cult films. //The Warriors// feels like a game only they could of made.
