"Also thinking of buying an XBox......."

Seeing as my other topic has been ignored, probably because its, er, no different to this one, I have decided to re-iterate my statment....

As is the way seemingly, I am yet another Nintendo/Xbox crossover now (both ways may I add) Hehe.

Anyway, now that E3 has been and gone, I have a rather large list of GC games I want. And the XBox looks pretty tempting too. Having played one on anf off for the past year, despite the horror that was Halo (joke!) I have begun to take interest in one.

Don't get me wrong, GC is my favourite easily, but I though I might as well chuck off the mantra of just being a Ninty, and actually play some other consoles, and with titles like Fable, Halo 2 (it wille be good, I know that) and whatever else you guys know about, I think I might as well pick one up.

And.....reccomend a website, of a similar ilk to www.Cube-europe.com, so I can looks through stuff.

And the best magazine too.


So, reccomend me games please. And give me some cash too. If you want.

Actually, now I'm not.

Hmm. Sod that. Got a nice acution on the go.

Maybe maybe.....

Right. Its my birthday very soon.

So, once I have, sold all my ebay items, earned some more cash, repaid my mum, bought my MP3 player and got a bit spare, I might just buy one.

Shouldn't take too long.

:)

Return to Castle Wolfenstien is a good FPSer, havn't played it much single player though so mabye someone who owns it could comment.

If you're looking into that, they don't come much better than Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast which, incidentally, is also out on GameCube.

Yeah, that'd be a good move if you're set on getting it new - you could certainly do much worse than JSRF, Splinter Cell and Halo.

As I say, second hand would be best - saving you a lot of cash, but it's up to you. I managed to get an Xbox, 2 Controllers, DVD Remote, Halo and Conflict Desert Storm for £95, but perhaps I was lucky :D.

Yeah I'll second that. I no longer get any console specific magazines - GamesTM is brilliantly written, multiformat and completely unbiased. It's all I need.

Played the demo of moto gp2,its great:-) thought it was
much better then the 1st one!theres much better feeling
of control over the bike!

You'd be surprised. I didn't even approach the whole sport in general with a long stick until I got the online Demo that came with the Live pack.

It's amazing.

Best games on Xbox in my opinion are:

Jet Set Radio Future
Splinter Cell
Morrowind
Halo
Shenmue 2
Panzer Dragoon Orta
Project Zero
Enclave
House of the Dead 3
Hitman 2
Max Payne
Crazy Taxi: High Roller
Project Gotham Racing
