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.

There aren't any races in Amped. Its purely a trick game and the level design makes up for this. Every area of each level can be used in some way or another for tricks.
The whole point of Amped is to get to number one in the world by getting sponsors and winning trick events. The sponsors then give you new gear to use and the circle continues. Very lengthy game with some fantastic ideas. Highly recommended!

The funny thing is though the future is looking pretty crap. I will definitley get Metal Gear Solid 3 and possibly a new GTA. However there is nothing else which interests me in the slightest. Even the Pro Evolution series looks as though its going to be on the Cube in future.
The PS2 ports of Resident Evil: CV and Rez are worse than the Dreamcast originals. On top of that I am yet to see a PS2 game which pushes the console to its limits like Shenmue did on the Dreamcast. The PS2 is by no means a more poerful console. The Anti-ailising technology was used to great effect in Code Veronica, thus the reason why when this was taken away when ported to the PS2 the game wasn't as sharp.

I would say name them, but that get's quite tedius. I could easily name 10 titles worth it on PS2, without the other next - gen consoles in mind. It goe without saying that the PS2 is more powerful, and therefore should offer more games in the future. Obviously, Dreamcast hasn't got any games coming up. I expect that when the PS2's time is up, there will be a better selection of games. Which is the main reason that i'd pick PS2 over Dreamcast - It has a future.

Amped is different to SSX games and I much prefer it. If I wanted to race I would buy a racing game. Amped was more like the Tony Hawk of the Snowboarding world and I loved it. Took me a few months to get to number 1 in the world and unlock everything but it was definitley worth it.
I never liked Amped.
It was one of those games that I wanted to like, but never could. SSX Tricky was better, and once I'd really gotten into Tricky, I couldn't like anything else.
Might give Amped 2 a go, but it'll no doubt be overshadowed by SSX3, which I'm looking forward to.

No Amped 2, Deus EX 2, Operation Flashpoint XB, BC, new Oddworld game. They are pretty big hitters for me and certainly games I will be picking up. Especially Deus EX 3 and Operation Flashpoint XB which I am highly anticipating.
