Sounds like it to me and maybe by the end of the year.

"May 29, 2003 - In Take-Two Interactive's conference call with analysts early this week the company said that its exclusivity contract with Sony Computer Entertainment America has been amended and, additionally, executives strongly hinted that a version of Grand Theft Auto may come to Xbox.
During the Q&A section of the conference call, Take-Two's Jeffrey Lapin stated that an unannounced SKU would appear on Xbox in the fourth quarter of the company's fiscal year (which, for Rockstar, is November to January). Lapin didn't confirm it was Grand Theft Auto, but he implied, according to a source who listened in on the call, that it was a Grand Theft Auto title. If rumor proves true, then a previously published version of the game, i.e. Grand Theft Auto III or Grand Theft Auto Vice City, is in the works for Xbox.
According to the conference transcript, the relevant question asked in the call was: "Is GTA for Xbox coming, and when it is coming?" Lapin's answer was: "We said that there will be an Xbox SKU from Rockstar in the first quarter of the fiscal year 2004 [Nov. to Jan.], but we're not going to comment on what it is at this point."
It is assumed by analysts that the Xbox title Lapin refers to isn't a version of Mafia or Max Payne 2, two potential games that have already been announced or hinted at.
SCEA's contract with Rockstar originally stated that all Grand Theft Auto titles would be exclusive to PlayStation 2 (with the exception of the PC) from 2001 to year's end 2004. Apparently, SCEA and Rockstar have re-negotiated the contract to permit the game to appear on other consoles. Rockstar is currently working on the next Grand Theft Auto title, due for year's end in 2004, which will, as we understand it, complete the original exclusivity contract with SCEA. (Unless that too has been renegotiated.)
A second question was asked: "Will the Sony deal allow you to ship a non-PS2 GTA product even if it's not the most current?" The answer was: "We're not going to comment on terms of the at deal although by the next conference call we'll be able to give some more color."
Take-Two is most likely to announce the full, confirmed news in its next analyst call this August. And you know we'll have more on that when it comes."

The first tenchu game stank, never played any of the others though.
I am big fan of the Tench series, almost like Hitman 2 they manage to deliver a nice balance between realism and the virtual world. Sav, you say a Tenchu game on the Xbox? Any extra information? Cheers.
I think Tenchu games are pretty good. Beef up the graphics and stuff and it'll be excellent.
I wouldn't shoot your load about it.. Tenchu games aren't particularly special.
I think I read somewhere that a Tenchu game is coming to XBox - just trying to remember where. Didn't really go into detail, was more of a quick mention.

I always thought Halo was a good game, I just never believed it was 'excellent'. I'm converted because that's my opinion of it now. It's got it's faults, buy it's certainly a 9/10 game.

Tilta, I am not sure about the Research facility bit?! I am quite a way into the game and I have explored a fair stretch of Phandrana Drifts (sp?). I will let you know when I come across it though.

Metroid Prime and Halo are both class, but I just found Metroid Prime so much better to play. Aswell as the fantastic atmosphere created by the unrivalled presentation, there were adventuring elements and an excellent storyline. Polished, immersive and mucho fun.
Oh, and the controls and combat are perfect.

In responce ot your post Tiltawhirl. No I havn't done that but I sure wouldn't mind giving Metroid a whirl now.
Unfortunitly I know of on;y one person in my year at school who has a GC. And he's a geeky Nintry and wouldn't swap it for an Xbox for a while.
