XBOX origional recommendations?

[We Have A Winnar]

So my husband has been wanting me to play the xbox with him, but so far I haven't found any games for the system that pique my interest. So, I am looking for recommendations of good games, mostly RPG types. Basically, I enjoy games where you do a lot of running around talking to NPC's, and piddling around on side quests. I do not really like platform games, they generally only keep my attention for about 15 minutes.

Games that I really like (on other systems): Any of the Zelda games for NES/SNES/gameboy, the "tales" series by Namco, Golden Sun, etc.

So, with that, recommend away, please. heart

I can't think of a lot of games like that, but I'd reccomend the Fable games. Its pretty much a fantasy game where you play from childhood to adulthood in a fantasy world. You can customize your character's look, decide to be good or evil, which also effects your appearance, and work on stats that involve melee, ranged, and magic.

the elder scrolls: morrowind

I definitely second both of those recommendations. And Jet Set Radio Future (more often just called JSRF) is a crazy, quirky game about a group of taggers on rollerblades. It has some of the coolest music too!

Jet set radio future is epic!!!!!! i loved that game!  

[The Ginger Dude]

Star Wars Knights of The Old Republic 1(maybe two) for a great story and party and Oddworld Strangers Wrath fun game.

Also definitely look into Psychonauts, Beyond Good and Evil, and Jade Empire!

on a more serious note, I'd recommend Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, or KOTOR for short. It's a blast to play; what's not to like about killing enemies with a lightsaber? If you play as straight Lawful Good you get some funny dialog and quirky arguments.

I'd also recommend Jade Empire, which is an action-oriented RPG, (no pun intended).

Both are made by Bioware, which is known for taking something already out there and turning it into something beautiful.

If you have plenty of time and plenty of patience, give Morrowind a shot, but otherwise stay away; the PC version loads faster with less chance of crashing.

Fable is short, but fun. If you find it for cheap, (especially the platinum hits version), it's definitely worth a shot or two.

If you're looking for RPG's then KOTOR and Elder Scrolls: Morrowind, those are the most popular RPG's on the regular Xbox. But there is also Sid Meiers: Pirates! which I also highly recommend.
