So it's been about five months since I used my Xbox, though to be fair I stopped console gaming in general. Now you get to do one of those fun things where you suggest a load of games that have come out recently that I can buy.

Don't say KOTOR, don't suggest a racing or sport game and don't plug anything with LIVE support, because I don't have it. And please only games that have already been released in the UK.

You may go!!

I'd be happy with anything that wasn't sport or racing really, as long as it's good.

Morrowind I've had for years on t'PC.


Someone explain this Gaiden of Ninjaring to me, is it a sort of run through levels beating people up game or is there something else to it?

Yeah it's a slasher. You are a ninja, you slash people. Lots of people. It's also one of the hardest games in years.

Other things I'd recommend:
Worms 3D
Commandos 2
Amped or Amped 2
Max Payne or Max Payne 2
Prince Of Persia: Sands Of Time

Yeah, basically you got swords, nunchucks, throwing stars, all weapons of a ninjaaaa really. You then just pretty much dash through levels, performing similar jumping moves and wall-running to the likes of Prince of Persia, if you've played or seen that. And then you can sort of link the two. There are a couple of difficulties and in excess of ten levels, and its very, very good fun to play.

A good bet.

Ninja Gaiden is superb, probably my favourite XBox game yet. Splinter Cell: PT is also good, but not quite on the same level as Hitman.

Don't bother with Amped, only great snowboarding game out at the moment is 1080. Which does rock a fair amount, though.

The guy in NG is from DoA right? Does that mean the combat is like that, with loads of combos and stuff?

Also do you 'level up' at all or gain new skills, or is the only thing that changes the weapons you get?

You gain new combos and things by finding scrolls, and as well as finding loads of new weapons/spells, you can upgrade them too. Combat truly is awesome, I wouldn't worry about that, some of the bosses are brilliant too.

Ikaruga and VJ are much harder than it, though.

In my opinion, the ISP is the best I have ever used. They guarantee 'first time connection - everytime', which they have never let me down on.
