"Got an Xbox..."

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. :-)

Funny that, being an Xbox thread in an Xbox forum...

But most of the games that have been reccomended are exclusives to the Xbox.

Freedom Fighters - Never played it.

Yeah, Freedom Fighters is awesome and quite cheap from play.com at the moment.

Apart from that, Soul Caliber 2, Splinter Cell: PT, and start saving for Halo 2 and Half Life 2.

Well loads of great games have already been recommended, but I'm surprised nobody has suggested Freedom Fighters. That's a fantastic game; a little under-rated I think.

I would probably go with Commandos 2 as I have completed the pervious one. But then again Ninja Gaiden is nice and new, I'll decide later.

The only genre I missed out was throw-things-at-the-wall-'em-ups. The stylish one for that would be Ninja Gaiden, but I prefer Commandos 2. When you have to restart the training mission a dozen times on easy you know you're in for it!

Get Ninja Gaiden, Manhunt, PGR2, Toca Race Driver 2, Rallisport Challenge 2, Splinter Cell : Pandorra Tomorrow, Rainbow Six 3 and some others.

Oh and trade in Midtown Madness 3 because that's just freaking rubbish.

Well... The new one will be big of course but it is more of a campaign disc like Island Thunder was for Ghost Recon, than a whole new game. Yes lots of people will get it, but it will take a while for it to have sold as many as Rainbow Six 3. And then when it does get that popular, buy it for the £20 it was going to cost. Look around and you can even pre order it for £17 just now.

Hmm.. pretty much covers all the genres.
