J-42 why do you reply posting the whole of someone elses posts? Did it require all that just to say that Tomb Raider AOD is a PS2 exclusive?

Angel Of Darkness is a known exclusive for PS2.

I know what you mean If I play a sequel and I have never played the first ones I usually buy the first to see the story unfold

In fact I do own them all bar Jet Set Radio Future which I have in fact completed and played for over 30 hours :) Its a case of opinions, in my opinion if Rougue Leader 2, FFX and Stuntman are must haves then so are the list I gave (taking away multi-formats if you want). Project Gotham Racing is the best racing game I have ever played and I believe that even though I am a huge fan of Gran Turismo 3 that PGR betters it in the majority of departments. Still they are all great and I would like to own them all :)

Yes, but I was listing must haves, garbe. I'm sure those games you mentioned are good, but they're hardly must haves. I doubt that you own them all - am I right? Many of them are also on other formats, and I stated I was listing exclusives. Anyway, it's your opinion, and that's why you own an X-Box, rather than a PS2 or GameCube. Luckily, I have two of those three!

As for Silent, he's one of the luckly ones!

Please, have your opinion. I just think it was a particularly unjust statement when you said Deus Ex 2 will cater for both titles. Unfortunately, it won't, and the great gameplay of the first should be enjoyed as well as the second.

This is what I think about the list Mav just gave :)

GTA3 I can get for PC.

Metal Gear Solid 2 I am getting for Xbox but improved.

Final Fantasys are boring and besides I am getting Skies of Arcadia for my Dreamcast soon and FFX doesn't touch anywhere near it :)

Deus EX is fantastic but the poor PS2 frame rate and dumbed down graphics from the PC version made yet another poor PS2 port. I have it on PC and have completed twice but one of my all time favourites.

Stuntman is a novelty game and if I wanted to play a game like this I could just rent CHASE for the Xbox. Also if you class this as a must have then there are loads of Xbox games that are must haves in my opinion :)

> Four on my GameCube:
>
> Super Mario Sunshine
> Resident Evil
> Super Smash Bros. Melee
> Star Wars Rogue Leader: Rogue Squadron 2

Didn't like Mario 64 so I won't like this, not a must own in my opinion.

Resident Evil I couldn't agree more with, fantastic game that deserves all the credit :)

SSBM Short lived single player but endless multi-player options. I am not into Multi-Players so I would give this one as miss.

SWRL2 is not an essential purchase in my opinion but if it is then there are about 5 other Xbox must owns!

> And one on the X-Box:
>
> Halo

+
Jet Set Radio Future
Dead or Alive 3
Project Gotham Racing
RalliSport Challenge
Amped
Oddworld: Munch Oddysee
Silent Hill 2
Hitman 2
Max Payne

Those oher games can easily compete with the likes of Stuntman and your other lists.

> And that's why I happily own a PS2 and GameCube.

Good for you and may you carry on enjoying them :) I am glad I own an Xbox and a Dreamcast as well :) Of course all of that is in my opinion :)
