I dunno if you've noticed but there seems to be alot of FPS games on their way to the Xbox, the problem is which one to get. With 5 6 top FPS games on their way to the Xbox I do not know where i'm gonna get the time, here are the 6 I had in mind :

1) The Chronicles Of Riddick

2) Doom 3

3) Half-Life 2

4) Far Cry Instincts

5) Call Of Duty

6) Halo 2

All of these are the same genre of game but they all have completely different Storylines...

Riddick is a prequel to Pitch Black, the main character is Riddick, a bad-ass criminal who has been sent to Butchered Bay. Butchered Bay is a very highly secured prison and no one has ever escaped, by Riddick (being the person he is) attempts to escape from the prison and has an action packed adventure while doing so.

Doom 3 is supposed to be like an action packed Resi Evil game, it will support Live and have some of the most realistic graphics. I dont know anything about the storyline but just by lookin at the screenshots you can safely say that Doom 3 will be a chilling horror game with beautiful graphics.

Half-Life 2 looks like it'll be a massive hit and will most definately sell millions (and millions!) of copies as it is one of the top most anticipated games of the year. Again, I dont know nothing about the storyline but I can expect to see great graphics, ugly looking monsters and good characters. Lets hope it doesn't get delayed!

Far Cry Instincts will (hopefully) be similar to the PC version because that looked awesome, I never played it but the graphics, atmostphere and characters looked great!
I know that on the PC version Jack Carver gets told to set around the Pacific with a lady but his ship gets attacked and he ends up stranded on an island full of heavy armed Mercs and it is his job to find and rescue the Woman from the them.

Call Of Duty is one of the best PC War games ever, it beats MOH AA even!
The Xbox one will (obviously) involve you being a soldier who goes out on all of these missions etc. but it will have Live play this time, making it the first WW2 Live game (I think). If its similar to the PC one then i'll definately be getting it, even if its the same as the PC one i'd get it.

Halo 2 looks awesome, i'm sure (I hope) it'll be the best game out of the 6 because there is so much hype going around lately that it would be dissapointing if it turned out completely poop...but that vey unlikely. I've watched the E3 movie many times and everytime I watch it I just cant wait any longer for November 11th!

Whooo!

Not really sure why, but Doom 3 just doesn't excite me. At all.

On the other hand, can't wait for Half-Life 2, Halo 2 and TS3: Future Perfect. And Riddick looks pretty interesting as well, might just pick it up in the Summer.

No it probably won't. I love that game, the bit where you just get off the boat in stalingrad is mad.

I dont like Horrors AT ALL. I hate all Resi Evils and all other scary games.

I cant wait for TS3!
I've completed the Second one on the Cube and still have loads more stuff to unlock.

Well, it's not that I don't like horrors, Resident Evil and Resi 0 were both great on the Cube, but Doom 3 just doesn't look great. Not treading many new grounds either.

TS2 was great though. Just imagine the carnage on Live with Future Perfect (strange name though) :D

I think I would of enjoyed TS2 more if I got it on the Xbox, the Cube's little yellow analogue stick is so hard to use.

I would get (in order)

1. Half-Life 2 (PC)
2. Doom III (PC)
3. Chronicles
4. Far Cry (PC)
5. Halo 2 (maybe, or 'eventually')


Don't like crappy army games.

Top 3 are certain.
