Raven Shield - If you don't have Xbox Live then you should hold off on buying this.

Project Gotham Racing 2 - The single player has more than enough variety and substance to keep your attention. Best overall racer on the xbox.

Otogi - It's worth a try, that's for sure. One thing to keep in mind that many levels have an internal time limit, so you have to hone your skills. The art direction and graphics are splendid as well, but the overall gameplay can get predictable.

Crimson Skies - From what I've heard the single player is very well put together, but don't expect to get too much play time out of it.

I can also give you some other suggestions:

Midnight Club 2 - Much better flair and sense of speed compared to PGR2. The game is tough on you, but very rewarding.

Buffy: The Vampire Slayer - Atmospheric action title, very cheap and enjoyable

Oddworld - Lots of fun to me, hampered by some inconsistency.

Panzar Dragoon Orta - Again the price is defenitely right for this game. It's not as good as Ikaruga, but blows rouge leader out of the water....

Before I forget:

Fatal Frame - Turn off the lights, turn up the A/V, close door...you will have a tough time sleeping that night.

Silent Hill 2 - Gameplay could use an overhaul, but the story is too good to pass up.
