Halo on the original Xbox was my first impression. Loved both the multiplayer and the single player campaign. If it hadn't been for Smash Melee and Rogue Leader's graphics on my Gamecube I would have liked Xbox's launch window better than the Cube's just because of Halo.
My interest in the console died down shortly after but Splinter Cell reignited it in a big way and went on to be possibly my favorite game on the console. It looked so good and played beautifully; the control of the character and camera completely schooled Kojima on how to make a game like this play. Sam Fisher owned Solid Snake that generation in my opinion.
