Right now, my Xbox is used mostly for Halo, DOA3, and occasionally
Sega GT.  I've been fairly strongly tempted to pick up KOTOR, as
I've heard a number of people say it plays very well.

Well, console games do have the advantage of not having any other
people in them, and having zero network lag--that is, it's still a
roller coaster on rails, even if you can't see the rails.  That
said, they certainly set a higher bar for many specific aspects of
gameplay.
