Are you trying to play originals or backups? What type of drive is it?

Does it play DVD's OK? If so, it may not be the original drive for that xbox in which case it will not play games.

Thats actually good news, this means you have the correct Drive / Drive key. It sounds like your laser might be dying here. Before replacing anything, get some lense cleaning fluid and gently clean the laser and the reflector in a slow circular motion.

If this doesnt fix it you will either need to replace the laser or replace the whole drive. If you replace the drive, you will need to Spoof the correct drive key on to it.
