I just bought the ludicrously priced OXM17, and now have a demo disc which I can't play. Yay. Anyway, I bought it to have a look at the XBoxs games and future titles and stuff. And mewants some of it.

I've decided that once I have enough cash, I shall be getting -

XBox + Controller
Halo/SC/JSRF/Sega GT 2002 pack thingy
Morrowind
Brute Force
PGR

Then, if i can, I shall certainly get XBox live. Not sure when that'll happen, but still. I'd like to play against people online, and Halo 2 online even sounds tempting to me, a die hard anti-Haloist. So what you think?

Yup, that's why I was considering it.

A lot of sites are doing 2 classic games for £30.

PGR
Buffy
Max Payne
Oddworld

£60?

Yes please.

I think the same about Final Fantasy. But it does not mean that it is not great.

Oddworld is nothing like the supreme Morrowind. If you like RPGs (example given, Zelda) then definitely get this.

I.e more exciting = much better than dull Halo. :P

I was wondering about Morrowind being dull...and like Tiltawhirl, I hated the Oddworld predecessors. Hmm....I might look for another game....

Platformer methinks. Although everybody says Blinx is rubbish.

Morrowind takes time and patience, but it's an enthralling and interesting game that'll keep you hooked for ages. For me, it's the best game available on Xbox by far.

Pumpkin, Thats their opinion.

I'm not going to persuade you to buy morrowind. But its one fantastic title.

Oh and get Oddworld.
