I've just been looking through the new XBM mag, issue 22, and the line-up of new X-Box games for this year and the beginning of next looks fantastic.
Project Gotham 2
Half-life 2
Freedom Fighters
Colin McRae 4
Conker: Live and Uncut
Driver 3
True Crime
Armed and Dangerous
Star Wars: KOTOR
Soul Calibur 2
Broken Sword
Mafia
Worms 3D
Dead or Alive 4 and DOA online
MOH: Rising Sun
Doom 3
Halo 2
Fable
Shenmue 3
Full Spectrum Warrior
Splinter Cell 2
Tony Hawks Underground
Everyone of those games look to be winners and extremely enjoyable games, and if the rumours are true we could also see a port of Vice City on the way to X-Box, and in this particular mag, they say that GTA3 will be included with Vice City. So to me the future of the X-Box looks very bright indeed and I'm really glad I got it now.

I don't think many people have heard of it, I first saw it in a movie on a demo disc. I can't remember which one exactly but it was in an E3 showreel, I think it was actually with the X-Box World magazine. I'll find out though.
Anyway, it looks to me like a sort of spoof of Brute Force. It's the same idea, 4 characters, the usual you know, a Mole with a Scottich accent, a posh talking robot, a little nerdy guy and a little thing, I'm not sure what it's supposed to be.
The game-play looks great, for example, here's a few scenes from the DVD:
One of the characters is frozen, and the robot has an idea. There's a 'dead' animal lying next to them. If you remember Star Wars, luke cut open a creature to keep warm. Well this litle nerdy guy tries to explain to the mole what to do taking into account the star wars scene. Then the robot says, "Ah no, all you need to do is this" then he lifts the 'dead' animals tail and, yep, shoves the little guy 'up there'. Only, the animal ain't dead, much humour ensues.
Then there's the topsy turvy grenade, throw it and your character grabs on to something, and the whole level turns upside down, then flips back round so all the baddies fall from the sky, screaming, then a satisfying, and kinda funny thud is heard as they hit the ground. Mix all this with some light swearing and what looks like some really solid game-play and I think we have a potential winner.

Full Spectrum Warrior is one of the more interesting titles coming, I hope they don't dumb it down though...
Ah well, that's that cleared up. :)

Project Gotham 2 - Will definatly get! Probably my most anticipated racer of all time! The graphics looks stunning and argh! Yes i'm getting it.
Half-life 2 - Well well well. OF COURSE I'M DAMN GETTING THIS BEAUTY OF A TITLE! WHO WOULD'NT? It looks bloody awesome. Really really cannot wait for this.
Freedom Fighters - Well the screens i've seen make it look like some PSone title. Maybe because its in early development? I dunno - I'll have to look into this though
Colin McRae 4 - If it's better then the crap CM3 then i'll get it. But I dunno what codemasters are gonna do with it.
Conker: Live and Uncut - A Rare title on Xbox? HELL YEAH! Definatly getting a piece of this gaming history. :P
Driver 3 - The first 2 titles were the best games on the PSone in my opinion. So cool! DEFINATLY getting this! Looks the mutts...But the developer is keeping quiet about it
True Crime - I've seen videos of this and it looks good in the hand to hand combat I suppose. I'm a bit concerned its trying to be what its not (GTA)
Armed and Dangerous - What the hell is this? Never heard of it.
Star Wars: KOTOR - HELL YES! Be a jedi? Go over to the dark side? Explore the star wars universe? Yes please! I'm really excited about this title.
Soul Calibur 2 - No. I hate Beat em ups.
Broken Sword - Nah. Not my type of game if ya ask me.
Mafia - Hmmm. If they "improved" it for the Xbox I might consider. I dunno though. Still it looks good.
Worms 3D - If it works like Hogs of War did then i'll get it (God I loved Hogs of War)
Dead or Alive 4 and DOA online - No. I hate Beat em ups
MOH: Rising Sun - YES YES YES YES YES YES YES please. My only worry is EA will make it with the PS2 in mind and all the graphics will be awful etc. I hope they improve it. Excellent series.
Doom 3 - Well well well. OF COURSE I'M DAMN GETTING THIS BEAUTY OF A TITLE! WHO WOULD'NT? It looks bloody awesome. Really really cannot wait for this. The graphics look stunning! I think everyone is wanting this.
Halo 2 - Well well well. OF COURSE I'M DAMN GETTING THIS BEAUTY OF A TITLE! WHO WOULD'NT? It looks bloody awesome. Really really cannot wait for this. The sequel to the best Xbox game ever with stunning graphics. *mouth foams* Why oh why do we have to wait till 2004. Why!
Fable - If the developers pull off what they've been saying i'll be definatly getting this. It *sounds* awesome. But will it deliver its promises? All shall be revealed.
Shenmue 3 - Hae'nt even played the first two yet! I'll have to play them first before getting this I believe.
Full Spectrum Warrior - I don't know. Have'nt seen much of this one.
Splinter Cell 2 - Oh yes. An excellent stealth title gripped me for weeks. The sequel to it should be on par with brilliance.
Tony Hawks Underground - Hmmmm. Has anyone realised that the Abbreviation of this game spells "THUG" heh heh heh. Irony. I dunno. We'll have to see what they do with it.
Other games worth a mention: -
Vice City
BC
Prince of Persia
The movies
Hitman 3 (maybe)
Counter Strike
Kameo.
