I got my XBOX just over 2 weeks ago and it is awesome as hell (also own PS2), so far I have got Jet Set Radio Future + Sega GT 2002 (came with my XBOX) I have rented Buffy The Vampire and bought a new copy for a insane price of £11.20 of Genma Onimusha which is a awesome game! thinking of buying some more games soon, any sugestions?

Thanks again for the recommdations, I have Jet Set Radio Future and Sega GT 2002 (got them with my XBOX)and Genma Onimusha (just completed it today) and probably buying 2 games next month, when I have got my exams at college out of the way. Splinter Cell/Halo and House of the dead 3 + lightgun (hopefully) are the games that are high on my list + I also have got a booklet of vouchers for HMV so I could get 2 XBOX games for £68.00 instead of £80.00 if the games both cost £40.00 each and I use a £12.00 off voucher so thats cool.
sure...i recommend
JSRF
Blinx the time sweeper
Splinter cell
Halo
BC
Driver 3
(Driver 3 comes out soon,as duz BC)

I agree with it up to avoid getting games that appear on all other consoles.This is silly.

You are completely wrong,you really must have a sega megadrive to be saying things like this.

Jet Set RF is a nice idea, and pulled off well, but certainly IS
'fantastic'.

Get Steel Battalion!
Well only if you have an odd £100 spare...

I already have Steel Battalion pre-ordered. Can't wait for that game. ;-)
Theres a pretty good number of games coming out over these early few months that I'll be picking up. ;-)
With Microsoft looking to be getting Lamborghini from Rage, I hope they grab Team SAS as well as that looks excellent. :-)
Good news is that if Microsoft are indeed grabbing Lamborghini, that'll make it an X-Box exclusive. :-)
Microsoft need to start keeping more games as X-Box exclusives rather than letting them be made into PC games as well. The X-Box has some great exclusives on the way through this year, but I still think Microsoft are letting some top titles slip through their fingers and onto other formats.
Apparently there is something like around 30 titles planned for the X-Box from Sega too which is great news. :-)
As far as the quantity of quality games coming out goes this year, I can see this being the X-Box's year. :-)

To be honest If I were you I wouldnt just go by what people have said or by reviews. You'll need to form your own opinion on the games, we are all different and have different likings when it comes to the games. Therefore I recommend buying the Xbox Starter Pack magazine, that comes with a disk full of demos of all the games that people have mentioned. This way you can try all the games first before thinking of buying any. Alternitively the Xbox Official magazine comes with a playable disk full of new demos every month.

Not really. They're my opinions and I bet I could find a good few people to back me up on that.

Lol. It seems everyone's saying that about their preferred console at this point :).

Like football really - even the shat teams can mouth off at the beginning of the season. ;-)
I promise that wasn't a dig at Nintendo. ;-p
Seriously though, should be a damn good year for gamers this year. :-)
I've gotta a bigger list of games this year than I've ever had before that I really want. :-)
