15 Original Xbox Games We're Dying to See on Xbox One

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind

The Elder Scrolls has become one of the most prominent RPG series around, and it made its console debut on Xbox with Morrowind. The third Elder Scrolls game really upped the ante by giving players an absolutely massive world to explore, as well as huge amounts of character customization. Morrowind, followed by Oblivion, really helped define the open world genre, and it'd be great to see it return again on Xbox One.

Fable: The Lost Chapters

Fable was one of Microsoft's staple series on both Xbox and Xbox 360, and the first title still remains the best to many fans. Fable gave us an expansive fantasy world, where choices were reflected in the world and through your character's morality. Even better, the expanded version known as The Lost Chapters added on an entirely new epilogue section to the game. This is one classic that everyone should get their hands on again.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

Grand Theft Auto needs no introductions, and San Andreas easily remains one of the greatest games of all time. The open-endedness of San Andreas is its biggest strength, giving players true freedom to explore a massive city, while experiencing some top notch storytelling and voice acting. With the ever-rising popularity of GTA, San Andreas is a given.

Ninja Gaiden

The Ninja Gaiden series is renowned for its extreme difficulty, and the first reboot of the series on Xbox certainly fits that bill. You take the role of master ninja Ryu Hayabusa, facing down hordes of demons, enemy ninja, and more in a fast-paced, extreme combat system. It's challenging, but still one of the best character action games around.

Panzer Dragoon Orta

Panzer Dragoon Orta is definitely different from anything else you'll play, a fast-paced rail shooter with an engaging storyline, memorable soundtrack, and high level of difficulty. It's a short experience but it's certainly one you won't forget, and is a great traditional shooting title.

Otogi: Myth of Demons

You may recognize the name From Software from a little title called Dark Souls, but they've created some other action-packed experiences too, one of which is Otogi on Xbox. You play as Raikoh Minamoto, a warrior born into a clan of executioners. Combat and some massive bosses are probably the main draw of Otogi, although it does have an engaging story as well.

Psychonauts

Double Fine is known for making quirky and charming titles, and Psychonauts stands squarely at the top of that list. You play as Raz, a young Psychonaut in training who's sent to a top secret government training facility. There's some truly hilarious moments in the game, and plenty of platforming and collecting for fans of the genre.

Star Wars Battlefront II

Star Wars Battlefront was one of the most unique video games to ever come out of the series, and the sequel only made things even better. Bigger battles, space and ship combat, a full-fledged campaign, and playable heroes are just a few of the numerous improvements made. It's still an essential multiplayer title, and one of the best Star Wars games ever.

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory

Chaos Theory is considered by many to be the best title in the Splinter Cell series, and for good reason. The Splinter Cell formula had been tweaked to an almost perfect balance of storytelling and stealth gameplay. Chaos Theory was had tighter gameplay, better presentation, and much more making it a peak for Splinter Cell.

Fuzion Frenzy

Fuzion Frenzy is an entirely unique game on the Xbox. At its core, the game is a compilation of 45 different mini-games, ala Mario Party. Players make their way through zones, encountering different mini-games along the way. Of course, it's plenty of fun to play with AI opponents or with your friends as well.

MechAssault

Mech games have become few and far between in recent years, but the Xbox received not one, but two pretty stellar Mech games. MechAssualt, as you'd expect, puts your right in the cockpit of your very own Mech suit, with access to a wide array of customization options and weapons. There's even a dramatic single player story and action-packed multiplayer mode to keep your busy.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

Star Wars has seen countless games over the years, but nothing is like Knights of the Old Republic. The RPG veterans at BioWare crafted a brand new story and Old Republic universe that managed to capture the feeling of Star Wars perfectly, while still feeling wholly unique. In traditional BioWare fashion there's tons of quests, choices, romance options, equipment, and more, making KOTOR one of the very best RPGs on Xbox.

Project Gotham Racing

Before Forza took the mantle of Microsoft's premiere racing series, the original Xbox had Project Gotham Racing. PGR was a bit different for a racing game, as winning a race didn't necessarily mean you'd move on to the next round. Instead, you're required to both drive fast enough and meet the challenge set. It was a nice twist on the racing formula that still holds up today.

Shenmue II

With the recent hype surrounding Shenmue III, it'd be nice for Xbox owners to go back and experience a piece of the series again. Shenmue II picked up directly where the first one left off. Ryo Hazuki's journey takes him to new locations in his quest, and there's plenty of dramatic storytelling and new characters to encounter.

Kingdom Under Fire

Kingdom Under Fire is like a hybrid of Dynasty Warriors and a tactical strategy game, and boy does it work well. You control multiple units and battalions on the battlefield, but once you meet enemies in combat, you switch to controlling a powerful general in hack-and-slash combat. There's an interesting fantasy story to accompany the action and each playable character feels incredibly varied.
