.... please!
Just interested to know what games everyone has and what you think of em.
I'll go first :
Halo - Superb, brilliant, can't say a bad word about it. Roll on H2
Splinter Cell - Thoroughly enjoyed, one of the best games I've played in ages.
MGS2:Substance - Also superb, enjoyed it start to finish. would prefer that gimp raiden was replaced with snake though .....
PGR - One of the finest racers ever. Does it beat Gran Turismo? In some aspects yes, in the 'user-definable' category, no.
SSX Tricky - First snowboard game I've played and very good, very quick, fun to play, great music
Burnout 2 - Not exactly realistic in any way, but if it's arcade thrills you want, this is very good. The overall speed of the game and crashes make it exhilarating. Prefer PGR though.
FIFA 2003 - Very good football game, good fun on one player, but great fun on multiplayer.
Max Payne - A great game, played all the way through as soon as I got it. Ageing a bit I suppose, but still extremely good and one of my favourites.
Mech Assault - Good fun for a while, although the one player does get a little tedious. I need LIVE really to play it properly. Still, not bad.
Morrowind - Played for a few hours, couldn't really get into it. I realise it is a very detailed RPG of the highest quality, but it just didn't grab me. Maybe I'll get into it more in the future.
KOTOR - Very, very good. Welcome to the star wars universe, detailed, user definable, and with a great story. Haven't got far yet, but am enjoying it a lot.
Enter the Matrix - loved it when I got it, after several hours it quickly got repetitive though. Still, the fighting is very good, and I enjoyed all the FMV. Yet to finish.
Ok, that's all I got .....

Panzer Dragoon Orta - Arcade bones dressed up in rainbow robes. I like the atmosphere more than the game itself.
Halo - As polished as an aristocrat's cueball(?) I'm not a big fan of shooters but this is undeniably great.
Otogi - This would be truly brilliant if the developers hadn't slipped into the same old hack'n'slash mistakes: i.e. too many enemies. "Less is more," mister developer, you stupid priick!!!
Splinter Cell - One of the most immersive games I've played. Although the husky and cynical Sam Fisher is annoying.
Morrowind - Its freedom and vastness make it my favourite game by far.
Jet Set Radio Future - Loved it on the Dreamcast, and it got better on the Xbox. The music drives me round the twist, but you can't have everything.
Max Payne - The gaming equivalent of an abbatoir, or something...
Enclave - Play it with the longbow masters and it is surprisingly brilliant.
Star Wars: KOTOR - It's shaping up to be very good indeed.
I've got other games, but I'll stop.

Soldier of Fortune 2 - Guff offline, but gaming gold online
Midtown Madness 3 - Good if a bit shallow game, fun in quick bursts (cack offline)
Return to Castle Wolfenstein - Same as Midtown Madness, just not as shallow
Unreal Championship - Crap offline, okayish online. Gets boring qucikly.
Ghost Recon Island Thunder - Good online, if a little hard. Offline about as much fun as scraping your sack on a cheese grater.
State of Emergency - see unreal championship, except replace online with multiplayer
Jet Set Radio Future- Excellent game
Halo - Fun the first time through, dull as hell after that
Max Payne - Excellent if a little short shooty fun
Hitman 2 - Favourite offline Xbox game, rocks my socks
Project Gotham Racing - MSR was much better, haven't touched it for months
I've got a few more but I've lost intrest in the list so ummmm they're great.

Halo - What can I say that hasnt already been said. Best. Game. Ever! Untill Halo 2 that is
Splinter Cell - At the moment my second most favourite game on X-Box. Prefer it to MGS2 anyday
Dead or Alive 3 - One of the best looking beat em ups ever. Plays just as good aswell
FIFA 2003 - Probably the best FIFA so far. Actually feels like a proper game of football which is more that can be said about previous efforts.
Buffy - Not played enough yet to really comment about. Could be good
Serious Sam - Great fun. One of the most enjoyable FPS Ive played. Fast and frantic and a real blast
Rallisport Challenge - One of the most realistic rally games so far. Gets bloody difficult though!
Project Gotham - Best racer on the X-Box and one of the best racers ever. Cant fault it at all. Cant wait for the sequel
Jet Set Radio Future - Just as good if not better than the DC original. Original and fun. Up there with the best
Oddworld - Pretty good game. Stays faithfull to the original. Looks amazing aswell
Amped - Another game Ive not really played properly yet.

Star Wars Jedi Outcast - My favourite Star Wars game at the moment till I get KOTOR that is!
As i've mentioned before but you won't really have payed attention i don't have an x-box any more, but i will list the games i did have. I didn't have much but it was enough.
Halo - best, game, EVER!
Sega GT 2003 - I didn't like it too much and never really played it
JSRF - Great game. Played over 10 hours of it before i finally moved onto the next game.
Splinter Cell - Probably one of the most amazing games i've played on apart from Halo. Graphics and gameplay pure genious.

Halo - Brilliance, best launch title I've seen on a console and easily the best FPS on any console, in fact I'd rate it higher than most PC FPS games.
Splinter Cell - Good, never quite liked it as much as Metal Gear Solid 2 Substance though.
Metal Gear Solid 2 Substance - Great game, should have had graphics improved for the Xbox, but still great with one of the more intriguing stories in a console title.
Ralisport Challenge - Decentish driving game, quite arcadey and good for quick blasts.
Sega GT2002 - My favourite raceing game - plenty of cars, options, easy to use your own soundtracks.
Star Wars Knights Of The Old Republic - Best RPG I've played since Final Fantasy 7 on the Playstation. A terrific achievement and all the better for it being done on the Xbox.
Jet Set Radio Future - Played about twice, never really liked it and cannot see why it is supposedly such a classic game.
Conflict Desert Storm - Simple, but still better than its forthcoming sequel.
Buffy - Great game for fans of the show, not the most taxing of games but I still like it for a quick play now and then.
Steel Batallion - Expensive, difficult to master, occasional graphical glitches and unforgiving save feature, but I still love to play it when I have time and I'll never get rid of it.
Shenmue 2 - Sure there is a game in there somewhere but, again, have not had the time to play it much.
House Of The Dead 3 - Essential for any light gun fan, includes a movie trailer as well as the second game as an unlockable feature.
Dead To Rights - Better than most reviews suggest, not amazing, but fun.
Panzer Dragoon Orta - Never quite liked it, but once I've polayed it more it may grow on me.
Jurassic Park Operation Genesis - One of my surprise favourite games of the year, an essential game for fans of the film and the kind of game we should have more of on Xbox.
Dead Or Alive 3 - So so, nice graphics but the constant sound of the hard disc churning away through nearly the entire game is off putting.
Dead Or Alive Volleyball - another surprising good game, beyond the graphics lies a relaxing game thats great to relieve a little stress or just mess around on.
Brute Force - A good game, not perfect, but not as bad as many say it is. Great graphics though.
Phantasy Star Online - Only played it offline, not the best RPG there is, but still a classic in its own way.
Ghost Recon - Brilliant realistic FPS.
Ghost Recon Island Thunder - same as above.
Silent Hill 2 - the few improvements made by Konami really do help this game be that little bit better - good job seeing as there is very little survival horror on Xbox...
Lord Of The Rings Two Towers - Good film licence, much better than expected and the large scale battles are impressive.
Mech Assault - simplistic, but a decent shoot'em up.
Burnout 2 - great arcade style racer with plenty of options/features, blisteringly fast gameplay.
Midtown Madness 3 - very disappointing, appaling graphics...few redeeming features.
Blood Rayne - Excellent game, got so so reviews but I like it, made better use of slow mo effects than Matrix did.
Moto GP - the only bike racing game I've enjoyed.
Wreckless - graphical showcase with little enjoyable play in it.
Blinx - got a sound panning from most sources but I still liked it, seemed to have a Christmassy feel to it - but not exactly a game for the majority of the age group Microsoft wants to buy the Xbox.
That's all, looking forward to Soul Calibur 2 next, and I want to get Otogi when the price comes down.

Burnout 2: Point of Impact
Great fun, but way too short and way too easy. Still give multiplayer a go every so often.
Craxy Taxi 3
Excellent fun in short bursts, but absolutely destroys your fingers in prolonged sessions.
Halo: Combat Evolved
Thoroughly enjoyed this the first time I played through, but it's lost some of its' charm now.
Jet Set Radio Future
Excellent. 'Nuff said.
Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis
A little basic, but still good to play on, say, a sunday afternoon.
Marvel vs Capcom 2
Ace. Been playing this a lot recently.
MechAssault
Great brainless online shooter.
Midnight Club II
Not as varied as Midtown Madness, but the Custom Race option makes the races far more interesting.
Midtown Madness 3
Pure gold online, too repetitive and unforgiving offline.
Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc
Decent platformer. Nothing more, nothing less.
Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Tides of War
A bit gay online, but a pretty good offline shooter with a decent storyline.
The House of the Dead III
Another sunday afternoon game. Play it every so often.
Unreal Championship
Great online, a bit poop offline after a while.
