Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix
Soul Calibur II
Spider-Man
TimeSplitters 2
They're all good - if not excellent - games, apart from Soldier of Fortune II, which has to be THE worst first person shooter I have ever played in my entire life (possibly excluding Hexen). It's slow, the controls are about as responsive as an angry Whitestripes on a bender and the whole game reeks in regards visuals and audio. Even the gore - which is supposed to be the game's main gimmick - is crap.
I was prepared to stick with it until I had a taste of the Live play, as Tiltawhirl claims it's excellent... but that isn't much cop either. I had a few goes earlier, and wasn't impressed one bit. Compared to the likes of Unreal Championship and Return to Castle Wolfenstein, SOF2's Live is a big pile of steaming dog muck. I may give the game another go later on if I can be bothered. But I can't see that happening.
Good job I have 10 days to take it back before I'm stuck with it for good.

Odd, racing is my least favourite genre.........
Mario Kart is legendary.
Odd too, lots of people I know have bought Cubes recently.........
Yes for me the Xbox is the strongest console but with the likes of Resident Evil 4, Eternal Darkness 2, Metal Gear: Twin Snakes, Viewtiful Joe, Killer 7, Pikmin 2, Dead Phoniex, Mario Kart: Double Dash, Mario 128, F Zero GX, Geist (not too keen on this at the moment), Metroid Prime 2, the new Zelda game amongst others I just think the alternatives on the Cube will post a massive challenge to the Xbox. It was/is the perfect combination of consoles and for the small price of £80 I just think it is silly to sell the console. By all means sell the games but for the £30-40 that places are actually offering for a Cube on Trade I just can't see it being worth the price of one Xbox game.
