I've been reading through X-Gamer and looking at the progress on some of the much anticipated games, etc and it has to be said, X-Box owners have got a hell of a lot to look forward to. :-)
200 games by Christmas along with loads more quality games coming in early 2003. Looking at all the titles coming both soon and a few months down the line, I've come with at least around 30 titles that I really want to get. :-)
Its been ages since I've wanted so many games on one console. :-) Plus not only that, there is that mouth watering subject of the X-Box going online which is going to steal away a large number of hours from most of us. :-)
Even looking at this Friday, with both Crash and Yager coming out, thats 2 games I want just out of one day along with Champ Manager and either ISS 2 of Fifa World Cup 2002. Then theres games like Gun Metal, Grand Prix 4, Chase, Hunter The Reckoning, Crazy Taxi 3, etc.
After that you have the major titles on the way such as Unreal Championship, Project Ego, Star Wars : Knights of the old Republic, Halo 2, Mech Assault, MGS Substance, SWAT : Global Strike Team, etc.
Apparently EA is also holding back MOH : Allied Assault because they're hoping to add online options to the game which is certainly good news. :-)
The X-Box has plenty of exclusives on the way including some tasty titles from Sega who are responsible for a large number of excellent games.
Certainly looks like Microsoft are going in the right direction and the future is definatly looking bright for the X-Box with all the great games on the way. Be very happy X-Box owners, you've made a good choice and by Christmas we should be meeting up online regularly till stupid hours of the morning playing the titles we're currently drooling over. ;-)

Its definatly a story worth keeping an eye on. I'd love to see Conker's get onto the X-Box. ;-)
Thing is, if Nintendo lose a large amount of Rare's games as exclusives, they could end up in big trouble because although they have the likes of their own games such as Mario and Zelda, I don't think they will be enough to keep the Gamecube going.
Obviously the more hardcore fans will stick with it no matter what and scream in defiance until the console is 6 feet under, but overall it could really hit Nintendo badly because Rare are such a strong part of Nintendo's success lately.
I mean, of course Nintendo will still have Rare games, but if someone is looking to buy a new console, they'll probably be unlikely to goto the GC when X-Box and PS2 both have them plus they're own titles. Like I said, the likes of Mario and Zelda are good, but I don't think they're enough to keep the GC afloat.

I didn't read the 2 pages covering it, but it basically looked like an article about Rare going multiformat and what this could mean in the way of certain games coming to X-Box.
It'd certainly be a big name to have notched to the belt as far as third party support goes. Not to mention a big blow for Nintendo.

Yeah, sorry, it was XBM.
I only saw it briefly in a shop today. It was in celophane and I just read the headline on the cover.

You sure its X-Gamer and not XBM ? I have X-Gamer and I didn't notice that. My mate got XBM yesterday though and it has a two page thing about Rare and what they could bring to the X-Box, so maybe its that mag. :-)
