Can xbox games be played on a PC?

everyone tells me that xbox games can be played on a computer but most of the time my friends are full of crap so i don't know if i should try it or not

 

Come on man, if xbox games work on pc, nobody would buy xbox console for.

 

I have never seen anyone do it.
A PC drive can not even read an Xbox disc.

 

thnx guys, jus figured i'd ask someone who actually knows wat they're talkin bout. But if you think about it, xbox games should work on pc cuz they're made by microsoft, but, guess not

 

NO, they won't because the xbox discs are written and Read backwards...So you would nerver be able to read an xbox game on a PC
