Decided I'm going to have just over £200 to blow on an Xbox for this christmas.
I need you guys to help me.
I will be getting an xbox, 2 controllers, live and games.
What live games is there that will eb out by 25th December 2003?
I have my PS 2 set up for network play, using ICS, how would I do it for live?

SSX 3 is absolute utter boll*x. Oh ye I can play with 1 other person online with yet another EA cash in! Amped 2 absolutely smashes SSX 3 both on and offline. Also Tony Hawks isn't like Jet Set Radio: Future. Its a platforming game where as Tony Hawks isn't.
Saw that subject line and thought you needed a hand just carrying that BIG console out of the shop.

If I was to buy all the games that I don't intend to, it would only cost me a measly £241.91 more.
As I said my previous post, or so, I'M NOT A MILLIONAIRE!!!

Yeah, if I have enough cash I will try, is it online aswell, thought it was or am I simply wrong?
game of the year for me above and beyond anything else.
> Dead or Alive 3, Splinter Cell, Jet Set Radio Future, Buffy, Phantom Crash amongst a few others are definitley worth a look at some point. Some you might like and others (i.e JSR:F) I find require a special liking to that particular style.
DOA 3, is probably a no, Splinter cell will be a yes I reckon,JSR:F: I have tny hawks for PS 2 ordered, that will do me in that department as Tony Hawks for PS 2 is online, Buffy, as if,don't believe I've heard pf phantom crash.

Halo 2 is April 2004 I believe, and when does doom 3 and half life 2 come out?

Make sure you get Amped 2, Rainbow Six 3, Links 2004 and possibly Max Payne 2 depending on whether you have the PC version. Toca Online is due out next week which will be decent and Moto GP 2 and Mech Assault are worth a look at some point.
Offline wise don't miss out on Knights of the old Republic, game of the year for me above and beyond anything else. Dead or Alive 3, Splinter Cell, Jet Set Radio Future, Buffy, Phantom Crash amongst a few others are definitley worth a look at some point. Some you might like and others (i.e JSR:F) I find require a special liking to that particular style.
There are others to look into which I won't have mentioned by no doubt someone else will.
