Ok ordered a Xbox, got Midtown Madness 3, Halo and Burnout on its way, with a free controller aswell as the main one (plan to hopefully get 2 more free one's once i get more reddies), also have Live for 2 months. So which games should I be going for, if you mention one please let me know the basis of what it is, I had a playstation 1 but as it broke about a year ago I've not really played games for a while now. As I don't really know anyone with a Xbox thought it might be wise to ask around on here, I'm not really too bothered about getting brand new games as I've not played the now older games like Halo, which from looking from the amount of reviews looks like a pretty decent game. Also on a side-note, anyone know when Fifa 2005 will be out, will be it worth getting the 2004 one or is it already nearly ready to come out.

This is a superb cartoon style fps. With loads of levels, varied gameplay and great graphics it is a must have if you like shoot em ups. I have heard that its not great on live, but for 15 quid who cares?
Any way 4 player split screen deathmatch is priceless.

Knights of the Old Republic, PGR2, Morrowind GOTY.
The only thing that fails you in Rainbow Six 3 is when YOU die. Even if the rest of the team are incapacitated, as long as you don't die you complete the mission.
PGR2 is not that realistic. You don't have to be a car nut to like it. Simply the best racer ever.

A hard question to answer due to taste, but ones thing for sure, the Xbox gives you the best games out there, but later and more expensive than any other console, and the classics range, don't bother. I'm into drivoing and shooting games and here is my top list:
1- Driv3r, good graphics and gameplay, few glitches but probaly the only game of this type where going to get for a long time
2- Gta3, Vice city pack- San andreas is going to take ages to come onto the Xbox so thats why driv3r is top of my list, because even though with this set you get two great games or £30, they are old and we've all clocked them, even if you've not got a pS2
3- Colin Mcrae 04- Stunning graphics, and levels, car damage fantasic- (you can stall the car)
4- Tony Hawks Underground- By far the best levels, tricks and story out of all the series, but with glitches (brilliant activision) and a linear stupid plot which in the end means nothing its a bit disapointing
5- Project Gotham racing 2- Realistic and great, but you have to e a bit of a car nut to enjoy it
6- Metal arms, glitch in system- fast and furious, great fun and kicks ass compared to the PS2 version
7- Voodoo vince- This is a geat, humourus, fun platform game which is overlooked, and for this reason its cheap- £20 a while back
8- tom clancy's series- Rainbow six, great graphics but hard, Splinter cell, great but you don't always feel in control of story, Ghost recon, my fav, great missions, lots of shooting and you don't fail (unlike in Rain if one of your unit die.
9- Freedom fighters- people ait dodgey and if you can look past the soviet taking over america plot this is fun and quite good
10- Moto GP2- even if your not into bikes, if you like car track racing your love this, and the closest thing your get to an F1 game on the Xbox in the near future
