There are lots of contenders. The original Xbox had a sneaky good library.

Halo: Combat Evolved is, in my mind, the best game on Xbox, but it's followed very closely behind by Half-Life 2. Amazing storytelling, immersive production design, first-rate graphics, game-changing physics, varied and rewarding gameplay, and a certain relentlessness that drives everything forward. Third place goes to Morrowind, the peak of The Elder Scrolls series and one of the finest open-world games ever made.
