This thread has been linked to the game 'Doom 3'.
Taken from E3:
"id Software and Activision confirmed this morning that id Software's DOOM 3 is in fact coming to the Xbox and that the demo of the PC version would be on display at Activision's booth (booth #1224 in the South Hall) beginning May 14th. Built using id Software's new cutting-edge 3D graphics engine, DOOM 3 draws players into a terrifying and riveting 3D gaming. A specific release date for id's horror filled first-person shooter was not disclosed at press time but one can imagine that it will be released when it's done. Look to GameSpy for more information on both versions from the show floor later this week!"
This was announced THIS morning and it will be an Xbox exclusive title. Won't come close to Halo 2 but I am VERY excited about seeing more about this game over the coming months. On top of this new screens of Deus EX 2 have been shown so if Mav is reading this then go to:

On top of this Counter Strike is shaping up to be as good as the PC version and for the E3 previews I have read they were VERY impressed with how it has shaped up. Then there are some new Project Gotham Racing 2 screens at:
http://www.gamespy.com/e32003 /gallery/xbox/1001529/

Its shaping up to be graphically revolutionary and if the gameplay stays the same as the first then this will be something of Halo 2 proportions (perhaps not that big).
What does everyone think of whats on offer?

XBox gaming is dull and cheaper, except for games.
At least my PC can do other things.

Try a 21 inch monitor, a surround system better than yours and a PC three times as powerful as an XBox.

I agree as with Pcs there are faults and compatability problems

Stop trying to drill your opinions into my brain. The Xbox is better than a PC and the controller is better for me. If you want to play on a 15" monitor with 2 speaker sound sitting about 10" away from your monitor just to play a game that will have infinite errors in it then go ahead I don't care.

Oh whoopie. Were back to universal statements which cannot be proved and insults instead of reasoned discussion.
We're back in the playground here folks, where EVERY FPS is better on PC and those who prefer a controller must be 'retarded'.
I wash my hands of this.

I was actually speaking of the contols. Mouse is way better than 2nd analogue stick.
Mouse and keyboard owns everything for FPS.
If you can't use it you really are retarded.

Only because the games that have been ported to the XBox have been out for ages on the PC, they're old.
Stop living in denial.

My PC barely runs Halflife.
With Xbox it's ready to play out the box, you don't need to worry about upgrades or sound cards or any of that nonsense. You know that for the price you're paying for the console you can play all these games no worry's.
Oh and online play is infinitly easier to set-up and the amount of nerds on Xbox live will be considerably less than some of the pasty faced, cavemen that can be found on PC game servers.
So all in all, it's a hell of a lot more of an enjoyable experience all round.
Oh and this is very opinion based but I and I'm sure a lot of other people much prefer control pads to the mouse and keyboard. I find mouse and keyboard clunky and just rubbish to use.
