Wouldn't know, never owned an Xbox. Halo would have to be an easy answer

Star Wars KOTOR 1&2.

Most Likely a game like KOTOR would be the best game, even better then Halo in honesty.
Personally from the exclusive side I also really enjoyed Sudeki and Jade Empire and ofcource Morrowind, altough these where all also released on PC ofcource.

Buy the digital version, cheapest way to get it. Its not groundbreaking, but an enjoyable game.

I actually played through it about a year ago. Its a short game so I may revisit it on the X1.

I would, but I don't have an Xbone, and doesn't Microsoft lock you out of buying games digitally unless you pay a subscription for Xbox Live?

OG Xbox BC titles work on 360. This includes Panzer Dragoon Orta. Hence, when you buy a OG Xbox game it actually works on both 360 and X1.

I get the impression X1 and 360 are essentially using the same emulator.

KOTOR. One of the best games of all time, on any system.

Wow, no one's said Crimson Skies, Midtown Madness 3, Stubbs the Zombie, Mech Assault 1-2, or PGR 2 yet?

While not technically exclusives, my picks are Rainbow Six 3 and Ghost Recon 2 which are completely different and better games than the other console versions and PC.

yep Mech Assault was probably my most played game after Halo, Loved Crimson Skies too as well as DOA 3 and lets not forget DOA Extreme Beach Volleyball

Psychonauts, a classic.

I get the impression X1 and 360 are essentially using the same emulator. 

Alas I am in PAL, and apparently the PAL version of the game freezes after a cutscene early in the game when played on 360.

Well that depends if they're actually patching the games to work better. You're reading very old notes.

If you can buy it digitally on your 360, then I would give it a try.
