Got my 21st birthday coming up and was thinking about buying meself a Bill Box. Just looking for game recommendations really, so far the list of games i'll probably get is as follows

Halo
Jet Set Radio Future
Shenmue 2
Serious Sam
Project Gotham
Max Payne
Return to Castle Wolfenstein
MGS Substance
Silent Hill 2
Project Zero (maybe)
Buffy (maybe)
Halo 2
Fable (maybe)
PGR 2
Rainbow Six 2 (or whatever it's called)
Jedi Knight 3
Knights of the old Republic (maybe)

I'm mainly intrested in shooty games and looking at the release lists there's a fair amount of them. Oh and Rare games.

I'm not intrested in fighting games, I'm getting Soul Calibur 2 for Cube and I think that's all i'll be needing. I'll be getting all the multi console releases for my Cube so none of them please, I'm not intrested in 2nd rate platformers, so the first person to recommend Blinx get's a slap. Oh and I haven't got the slightest intrest in those boring Mech games.

Oh and I don't want Morrowind or any other games like that, boring is an understatement.

So anyway, recommend away.

When I say exclusive I mean console exclusive you Pumpkin! I don't count the PC as a platform when I am talking about anything other than Strategy games.

Splinter Cell rocks Tiltawhirl, you have Gamecube online right? Just get Xbox Live and connect it up, then you can download the extra stuff when its released, although it obviously won't have the GC/GBA connectivity.

Oh and take a look at Midtown Madness 3, it looks awesome, i'm definatly getting it.

What about Return to Castle Wolfenstein?

Dino Crisis 3's coming out on PS2.

Not intrested in that anyway, thought the Ps1 games were rubbish.

Anyway after looking at Microsoft's line-up at E3 and watching a fair few clips i've decided to get myself a Bill Box. Can't stand the company but I can't deny that the Xbox is a damn fine console.

Need to find a decent bundle without Splinter Cell or Metal Gear 2 in it though.

Mafia is on the GameCube. Midtown Madness 3, Deus EX 2 and Dino Crisis 3 are DEFINITLEY Xbox exclusive and the only one that could change is Deus EX 2 for the GameCube but I doubt it very much as after readin into the game ION Storm want to make full use of the Xbox Hard Drive. Things could change though...

Do not buy Agent under fire or Nightfire.

It is possibly the most uninspiring toss on shelves today.
