Phantom Crash [XBOX]

If one thinks Mech games, usually one tends to think of systems other than the Xbox. But there is a less than unknown game called Phantom Crash which should satisfy gamers who love action and love mechs. The game takes place in neo-Tokyo where mech pilots build their own mechs and take them into three abandoned areas of the city to do battle. You can choose the type of your mech, what weapons it has, what kind of movement it has, etc. It's not as in-depth as Armored Core, but what Armored Core has in depth in customization, Phantom Crash makes up for it in frantic action. Battling takes place in one of three huge maps and goes on forever, or until you leave the area and return home. All three maps are large, and different contenders come in so you never run out of stuff to kill. Rank up, buy better mech parts, have fun, repeat. The story is atrocious though. Ignore that, and you've got yourself a great game.

Jet Set Radio Future [XBOX]

This is the sleeper hit of the original Xbox. A large, free-roaming city split up into several gigantic parts, multiple characters to unlock, a gigantic and eclectic soundtrack and some of the most addicting gameplay ever seen on a console, JSRF is a gem and should be enjoyed by every Xbox owner. Create your own graffiti sprays, tag the most insane futuristic version of Japan imaginable, and do it all to one of the best soundtracks on any videogame. There needs to be a sequel. Now.
