Too expensive and the games are a ripoff, anyway...

There's still a lot of games coming on Xbox that are gonna be worth a a look. Add to this list if you can think of anything...

Ghost Recon 2 : Summit Strike
Fable : The Lost Chapters
Far Cry : Instincts
Brother in Arms : Earned in blood
Halflife 2
Rainbow Six : Lockdown
Call of Duty : Big red one
Commandos : Strike Force
Hitman Blood Money
Conflict : Global Terror
Doom 3 : Ressurection of Evil
Serious Sam 2
Star Wars : Battlefront 2
Burnout Revenge
Pro Evo 5
Prince of Persia 3
The Suffering : Ties that bind
Starcraft Ghost
Farenheit
SSX 4
Darkwatch
Tim Burtons Nightmare before Christmas : Oogie's Revenge (and what?)

Enough gaming there to keep me going well into the next century and beyond.

I'm actually beginning to think of waiting. Obviously PGR3 does things for me, but I could just play some of the games I never played on Xbox (or Dreamcast (or PC (or Saturn (or N64)))) and save the money. Or spend it on the girlfriend and get her to make up for the lack of PGR3. She might even get me it for our anniversary...

Hmm.

I'm aiming for Tiger 06, PGR3, PDZ and Ghost Recon 3 at 'launch'.. I'm interested in Gears of War, Oblivion and Kameo, but i'll read up on them, maybe wait for some reviews.

A few of the release titles are encouraging me to get a 360 on or near release. I want to play Perfect Dark really rather badly and PGR3 looks fantastic.

Quite a few of them though, look to be the type that'll offer some cheap graphical thrills at first but we'll look back on in a year or two and say "actually, that was a pile of crap" once the heavyweight franchises start rolling in.

I would like to wait for a while and see exactly what the PS3 and the Revolution have to offer so I can make a more fact based decision, but I've a horrible feeling that I'll be waiting a long time.

GR2: Summit Stike
Lockdown
Pro Evo 5
Burnout Revenge
Serious Sam 2

They are the only ones which really interest me. I might get Far Cry too but with the 360 round the corner I'm mainly looking at some of the launch games for that as well. God I'm gonna be skint in 3 months time.

It's this whole "started GTA" business that had me thinking it was APB.
