After giving much thought to it, I've decided to get an Xbox. I waited a while largely becuase of its price and selection of games, but now it seems to be getting pretty good so I think I'll go for it. (Before I could get Halo on PC and Halo 2's PC existence is still up in the air, and even if it does I may not be able to upgrade my PC to even be able to play it.) So besides the obvious choices for games like Halo, and later on Halo 2, what games should I take a look at? Which ones would you guys recommend?

Dudes (and dudettes)! Psi-ops story is the lamest! I reccommend Fable when it comes out. Of course, I just got mine, so I only have a few:

Halo, Soul Calibur 2, MI: OS, Top Spin, Mech Assualt,Blinx(not worth your money, I got it for free), and Shenmue 2.

Spliner Cell & Sequel are a must
Mechassault

Splinter Cell, Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto 3, Hitman 2: Silent Assassin, Hitman: Contracts, Counter Strike (but only if you get XBOX live at the same time).

That's just a very short list of the games that I own/played & enjoyed. There are hundreds of others.

I hear that the Max Payne series is also quite good.

I really hope you are kidding.

If you like FPS, get XIII, that game keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Shadow Ops is a first person shooter like Halo. Different in the way that you BETTER take cover and play like its real or your dead! Good game though, I liked it.

Splinter Cell games are pretty cool, there like Metal Gear except with way better graphics, good games them. There is a SC 1 and 2. If you havnt heard of em the games is a RPG based on stealth, you get to play with a whole bunch of cool gadgets and weapons. Plus numerous ways to dispatch an enemy all stealth like.

They guy at my local vid store said Full Spectrum Warrior is AWSOME....I dont know for myself yet because its always out when I go there. Its a squad based.....sort of RTS were you command two fire teams of US troops. It was made to help train american troops for those leadership situations, so it has to be half decent, and at least realistic.


Happy hunting!

The Frozen Minority - The most infamous clan borne from the Seventh Column.

ninja gaiden, need for speed:underground, unreal championship(only with live) and morrowind :game of the year edition because it has a huge lifespan, unlimited replay value and is infinitely customisable

Opinions are like arseholes - everybody has one.

Knowledge is knowing Tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

There is no such thing as a bad decision, only good decisions based on flawed information.

Doesn't anybody here have Project Gotham Racing 2? If you're keen on racing games it's an absolute must have. There's nothing better than stringing together a massive Kudos combo and making it stick. And online racing is excellent, especially when you get 8 cars around the Nurburgring, all 14.2 miles of it. Other than that, Crimson Skies is pretty good too.

The First one to get is unarguably Halo.
