As the title says i'm considering getting an Xbox so to make my decision for me i was just wondering could someone give me a list of good RPG's (only turned based and strategy, none of this repetitive live action crap) and good FPS (preferably stealthy type games and not *run into room, kill 20 guys while taking 300 hits and repeat*) and also a list of good games that are online.

Plus is it true with Xbox Live you can play people anywhere in the world and not just Europe?

Thank you

You can play anyone in the world yes ;-)*

RPGs : Fable, KOTOR are the two that spring to mind for me, but I don't follow RPGs much.
FPS : R63/BA would fit your criteria for a FPS you're after.

*everyone else will be American though, therefore meaning they're not worth playing... Best to only play Brits :P**

**They can be nobs aswell though ;).

Most online people are though to be fair (going by my experiences with Socom and Counter-Strike)

I was asking about that so i could hopefully give the Japanese a game. Would help me with my Japanese playing against them

In terms of stealth, you might want Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow. I just got it with a good Xbox live deal. Had never played Splinter Cell before, and didn't know if i'd be into this stealth business but I must say it is damn good.
