Finally yesterday I got an Xbox from SR.

I got Halo and Midtown Madness as part of the deal with the Xbox and also I am getting Thief 3 for a GAD claim, so any other games I should be getting or any recommendations?

Thanks. :-)

Bah! They didn't have that offer when I ent down there and I didn't see it in the magazine or on the web. Much better than my deal.

£129.99 for the Xbox with Halo and Midtown Madness 3.

You have a PS2, right?

Do you have that online?

OK, get the following games:

Project Gotham Racing 2
Rallisport Challenge 2
Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow
Rainbow Six 3
Counter-Strike (A 'love/hate' game - rent it first)
Crimson Skies (Plane flying, dogfight game - another love/hate)

Get Live

Give me your Gamertag

I heard with Splinter Cell if you haven't played the original Pandora Tommorow is hard to follow or something to that effect. It wont effect it that much though will it?

Thanks for the suggestions. :-)

EDIT - I'm probably definitely going with Rainbow Six.

I agree with all of the other games but is there really any point getting this game when the new one is coming out next month?

Its a great game but you'd only be playing it for about a month and then move onto the new one.

You HAVE to get Xbox Live, Live is the main reason I got my Xbox and trust me, its great.

Use the 2 month free trail but I think you should also get the Starter Kit so that you have a headset.

Halo

Beyond these you will never need to buy another game ever again. True you know.
