I just got one for free, and I don't know what to do with it! I have all the cables and everything, just no games and no controllers. So...what are its strong points? Should I buy some games for it? If so, what games? Is it worth the money? How about controllers? Please try not to post anything if you don't have one, or don't know anything about them.

Halo 2 is a good game. Start there.

The best thing that you can do with an X-Box is get it modded.
With a simple chip and hard drive expansion (for a simple fee), you can get it to emulate other systems and load it up with more games than you'll ever play.

...Or something like that. I'm unclear on the details.

You can also use it as a media player to play all of your computer's video and music files. If I ever get one, it'll probably be for this and Fifth's reason rather than any of the actual Xbox games.

As far as xbox games go though, yeah, Halo 2 and Psychonauts are really the only games I would suggest.

Any fighting game you can get your hands on. Specifically, the really rare Marvel vs. Capcom 2, but Soul Calibur and Dead or Alive work too.

An original Xbox? Ooh, that's rough. I'd suggest both Halos, Psychonauts, Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath, and Burnout Revenge.

DDR Ultramix 3 has always been one of my favorite mixes. 1 and 2 are horrible, though.

Funny... I kind of stopped playing after we got DDR Ultramix 3. I lived off of 1 and 2.

How about Counter Strike?

We have PCs for that.

It's box provides shelter for two for up to three days, and in the event of an emergency, the controllers are edible.

...Oh, games? Yeah, what everyone else said... I'm not an Xbox person.

Well, the old Xbox is dead as a doornail, so maybe you could use it as, say, a frisbee. A lethal one.

Unless you want to subscribe to Xbox live, you can use it to hold down a LOT of paper.

Not like 360 can play most Xbox games.
Although most Xbox games aren't worth playing.
