Actually no - Fable, Halo 2, Forza Motorsport and Star Wars Knights Of The Old Republic 2 all spring to mind straight off. ;-)
Oh wait.

Sudeki and Chronicles of Riddick are taking the charts by storm and having played them I have to say they are both seriously unmissable titles for the xbox. Those two should keep xbox owners happy till Halo 2 whilst nintendos gap filler is animal crossing which i personally dont think is half as exciting as these recent xbox titles. nintendo just dont come out with groundbreaking titles every month or two which is where i think they might be going wrong...
Don't know about Paper Mario 2 though - got it on order from Canada.

hardly MAJOR errors but Animal crossing is deffinately going to be the biggest game on the GC for a while. Everything else is coming out at christmas and yes, will be without a doubt alot bigger and better than animal crossing.
