11th
Project Snowblind - Everyone but GamesTM seems to like this fast paced FPS based upon the Deus Ex engine but with an approach that drops you straight into a warzone and doesn't let up, plenty of futuristic gadgets to muck around with, teammates to save (if you don't save them you get a Cannon Fodder-like procession of dead soldiers names at the end of the game). 16 players on live too.

18th
Brothers in Arms - Ubisofts WW2 tactical FPS.
---------------------------------------------------
24th
The Punisher - Max Payne with stylised executions, pretend you're a Guantanamo bay guard gone (more) psycho.
---------------------------------------------------
25th
TimeSplitters Future Perfect - Should finally show Unreal how to make a fast paced FPS with blistering multiplayer + Mapmaker + monkeys.
Jade Empire - Could make KOTOR look like a three legged dog. More gore, better fighting less Star Wars guff. Sounds great.
Greg Hastings Tournament Paintball (Budget) - Could be fun. Live play.
Close Combat: First to fight - Play as the american military (I'm assuming your AI buddies accidentally shoot you a lot then)
CT: Special Forces (Fire for Effect) (Budget) - Made in a year!? Fast turn around seems like the team have thrown everything they have into the mix. Looking very interesting.
---------------------------------------------------
1st
Rainbow Six: Lockdown - Who's the daddy!?
Splinter Cell 3 - Actually I might be the daddy y'know!
Delta Force: Black Hawk Down - I'll be the little girly sister with fog.
The Bard's Tale - I'll try to cop off with the little sister because I'm perverted.
---------------------------------------------------
2nd
Wrestlemania - I fancy the daddy because I'm full of big gay wrestlers.
---------------------------------------------------
Onwards
Doom 3 - RAARGH! Miaow.
Unreal Championship 2 - Third Person!!! Are you mad? Mabye not.

Pandorra wasn't even made by the original Splinter Cell team. Once Splinter Cell was finished they got to work on Chaos Theory, Pandorra was sort of a hold over until the real sequel comes out.
No more is it the linear borefest that Pandorra was. Multiple routes through levels, absoloutly stunning AI and the best damn graphics you're likely to see this generation.
Oh and the icing on the cake? you now have a knife to stab people...oh and you can hang upside down from bars and snap peoples necks. There's also a co-op mode which is looking truely awesome, you can play that offline so that's a massive plus.
Game of the year in my mind until Zelda comes along or I play Resi 4.
My XBox is a little dead without Live, only a few offline titles that look any good really.
Oh and I'm flogging my Xbox mainly because I'm thinking about buying a PC very soon so I doubt I'd have much time or money to spend on it. I will keep it though for a while yet to play Chaos Theory and maybe Jade Empire. I'll probably be flogging it in time to pick up a Cube in preperation for what will be the game of this generation, ZELDA!
As for Chaos Theory, still have a half-finished Pandora Tomorrow that's been unplayed for some time, don't think I'll bother getting it.
Jade Empire looks good though I must admit, I might pick that up before I rid myself of the Xbox.
When's Conker out?
