Best games for the XBox

[noctuary]

So I'm going to buy myself an XBox for my birthday, and I was wondering what the best games are for this system. Here are some of the games I've been thinking about picking up: Doom 3, Jade Empire, Knights of the Old Republic, Morrowind, Half-Life 2. Anyone have any comments about these games, or know of any that I've missed? Thanks!

Doom 3 - Good but prefer PC
Jade Empire - LOVED this one
Knights of the Old Republic - Ditto here
Morrowind - Enjoyed it a lot but another case of liking the pc version better, largely because of the expansion packs.
Half-Life 2 - BAH. No multiplayer!? What were they thinking!?

Other games I enjoy...

Halo 2
Crimson Skies
Ninja Gaiden Black
Dead or Alive Ultimate
Call of Duty 2
Battlefield: Modern Combat
Phantom Dust
Splinter Cell series
Burnout 3
Unreal Championship 2
Fable
Soul Calibur 2
Timesplitters 2
Beyond Good and Evil
&
Countless tradition and non-traditional sports games

At first I wanted to get a 360, but then I read that most of the original XBox games aren't compatible with it. Since the 360 doesn't have that many games I want to play yet, I figured I'd just wait on it for a little while.

I've played a lot of XBox games on the 360 including Halo 2, just have to download a small file to make them compatible.
