Splinter Cell:Chaos Theory, Crimson Skies, Chronicles of Riddick, and Forza(if you are into racing games).
silentshawn: We just got matched up for the trade, the game sounds great. I can't wait.

Always happy to trade. Hopefully you like it.
Probably sick of hearing this, but I gotta go with Kotor. One of the best parts about this game and it is better than most games is that actions you take affect you and the world around you. I would also add Battlefront II another Star Wars Game. X-men Legends one and two are still a couple of my favorite games you have got to try them for sure.
One warning to any one who requests Chronicles of Riddick it is not backwards compatible. I forgot to check that out before receiving the game.

It is on every top 10 list for original Xbox games, so it is only a matter of time before they do make it playable on the 360. So, I will just have to stare at the game until then.

We may never see the original become BC due to the new one that's being made for the 360. I haven't seen or heard much about it but from what I did read it should be pretty darn good.
Street Fighter Anniversary Collection, mainly for 3rd Strike.
Hey shawn, if you're one of the DC locals, I can lend you an Xbox. I have 2 for some reason. Seriously, I found one at my parents' house today that I forgot I had.

I don't know if Riddick will go B.C. I think that there has been some developer pressure against such from happening. There will be a sequel set to come out for the 360 though.

Besides those mentioned, I also recommend the following:
Vexx--standard collection-based platformer. The warps are windows into another dimension and very Quake-like. You can walk around it, go thru seemlessly from one part of the world to another, and walk completely around that portal. Vexx earns more abilities as he goes, making it possible to reach other areas. Like I said, very typical platformer, just pretty.
Blinx 2--Half platformer and half stealth, this game is way better than the non-back-compatible Blinx. Manipulating time is fun and leads to some interesting puzzles. It also features large bosses.
Doom 3--This looks very crisp on the Xbox360. It's Doom 3. The collector's edition is typically the same price and has the first Doom on it. A few seconds of the original Doom and you'll appreciate how great Doom has become. It is even a bit scary.
Magic: The Gathering Battlegrounds--This is a love it and hate it at the same time game. The graphics are fantastic. The gameplay is RTS, but only barely like the card game. The spells are named after the cards in MTG, with similar costs. You don't have to cast spells, but you'll lose if you don't. The voice acting is the worst! I think it even has online play. Each wizard collects mana gems and guards his side of the arena. You send summoned creatures to attack the other wizard and his creatures. Best of all? It's dirt cheap.
Then, of course, use your own taste in games types to help pick.
I'll have to check out Blinx 2-I played the 1st one, but not the 2nd.
Robb-with-2-Bs:Vexx--standard collection-based platformer. The warps are windows into another dimension and very Quake-like.

Vexx earns more abilities as he goes, making it possible to reach other areas. Like I said, very typical platformer, just pretty.
I get my FPS mixed up a lot. The portals in Vexx are very much like those in Prey and Portal (in the soon-to-be-released Orange Box Collection for Half-Life2 Episodes).
Phantom Dust, which I already traded, has one of the best looking and playing destructive arena games, but the casting of spells FPS isn't for everyone. Basically, instead of weapons, you pick up spheres that contain spells. I loved the graphics, but wasn't fond of the game play. The single player campaign is pretty challenging, too.
Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy is a very cartoony Prince-of-Persia/Tomb Raider type game. The game is also dirt-cheap in stores (used) and in points. You alternate between Sphinx, who sends energy that reanimates the Mummy so that the Mummy can prepare areas for you later. I don't think you ever play a level together? I can't remember. I know the game has no real replay value once complete. Fantastic gameplay and humor, though. This game was a setup for a sequel, but I think it bombed in retail sales.
For me the best overall BC titles is Half-Life 2. Then Ill take some mech assault. Although overall you canot denie the popularity of Halo2, personally I cant stand the game and Im FPS whore.
No one has mentioned Black. It is kinda short but is worth a play through at least once in my opinion.
