More than 6. I think theres about 20 or more. Also they have another 4 or 5 on release the following week. Ok you only like Halo, but thats your view.

To decide whether to buy a console you have to look at the games that you want to play. If X-Box has all the games you want to play, then get that. If the GC or PS2 has the games you want to play, get that.

Heh heh, its like asking the owner of a games store..

"Should I buy this game? It looks good"

"Yeah, its excellent, buy it now"

:o)

In my view, no.

Reasons..

1) 6 Games at launch... Only one that apeals to me, Halo.

2) It huge, like its price..

3) Most games will be converted pc games, Mircosoft make games for the pc, so why not make them for X-Box? (Me thinks that Combat Flight Simulator will be coming out on X-Box..)

4) GameCube is £150, and 20 games at launch. And with loads of 3rd party support, it looks like a Nintendo year.

But, if the games shout "YEAH!" at you, and you have the money, then buy it.

There are alot of launch games coming out. Maybe about 20 or more. Ask your self this question "Are there games I want to play on the X-Box that are exclusive?" If yes then get a X-box. If no look at either the PS2 or GC and see which games YOU want to play.

On account of my hate for all things Microsoft.

Oh, and it's crap too.

If you can afford it and the other consoles, go for it.

In fact, if you have a PS2 and can afford an X-box, then go for it. With the long wait for the Gamecube and the small price, you might be able to get one of those too when it comes out.

Or, get a friend to get one console and you get the other. That way you get the best of both worlds. So speaks the Army of the Free Gamer.
