Is it me or aren't the Xbox launch games poor? When a new console comes out, it needs good launch games to support it.
Xbox have got games like Abe's Oddyssey and Project Gotham, when Gamecube have got Luigi's Mansion and Star Wars:Rouge Leader. Does anyone else agree?

i think the x box launch games aren't that bad....

halo looks absolutely brilliant...it's the KILLER GAME that microsoft need.

doa3 will be great. one of the complaints about the us version was thtat there weren't enough extras...that problem seems to have been sold for us with extra costumes and moves included (read this from upwire).

project gotham racing will be just like msr but more refined which is a very good thing. there really isn't THAT much point to compare it to gt3 cos this is meant to be arcadey!

amped looks like a fairly good (but not BRILLIANT) game which is isn't a ssx tricky clone.

i mean that's good enough to satisfy me...i mean they aren't all BRILLIANT as was hyped but they are still very good...

To be fair, Halo looks like it could be one of the best FPS games released since Unreal Tournament, I want that game!!!

This is probably the best GameCube title out at the moment. It's the only one that I play on my Cube...

I thought we were talking about "fun" original games.

Just kidding ;-)

Rogue Leader original ? Sounds like another person's been brainwashed..... I mean theres the original flying bits in Star Wars on the SNES, Empire Strikes Back on the SNES, Return Of the Jedi on the SNES, X wing on the PC, Star Wars Starfighter...and loads more ! Project Gotham's Kudos system is a first for any driving games. I'm all for original games but also fun ones :) I'll be quite happy with DOA3, Halo, Project Gotham and all the rest.
