"Right come on then, tell me why..."

So hopefully I'll be getting a brand spanking new X-box come Christmas and so I need to ask a question (or 2).

I know the current selection of X-box titles (Halo, JSRF and DoA3 interest me the most) but what of the future games? On the Gamecube I know what game I'll be hoping to get in Christmas 2003, on the X-box I know of some game called Morrowind and the Halo sequel... what else is there? Why would I want them? What's so good about them? And what is Morrowind all about?

Come on persuade one of the forums largest Nintendo fans to get an X-box!

A main man behind BLINX is "Naoto Ohshima" - he designed the characters for NiGHTS and Burnibg Rangers. He also directed Sonic CD, NiGHTS, Christmas NiGHTS, and oversaw the cut-scenes on Sonic Adventure.
He left Sonic Team in 1999.

I doubt that. Yuji Naka?
Are you sure?

Show me where you got this from.
As far as I was aware, Naka had become Miyamoto's new best friend and was almost exclusively develloping for the Gamecube...

lol, Dringo probs has'nt even read any of this yet.....

I guess giving a huge list of games and saying "these are all great" isn't good enough. Because Dringo is a Nintendo fan I feel Blinx will interest him the most.

Created by the man who invented Sonic, Blinx was ranked as one of Xbox's most impressive games, not because of graphics but more to do with the ideas.

I think gamezfreak mentioned it earlier, but the whole Time controlling devise sounds so original and well implimented. If you pause time while going through the level, the snow in the sky will be suspeded yet you can move around freely.

A better example is when there is a see saw infront of you which can be used to reach a higher level. You press record on the Time device, and jump on one end of the see saw. You the come back off the devide and stand on the other end. By pressing Play on the time device the action you recorded earlier will affect the environment. The Old blinx will jump on one end of the see-saw which will then catapult you(the current Blinx) high in the air to a new area.

Splinter Cell is my personal most wanted along with Shenmue 2.

That poll also included Rainbow Six on the N64, which was worse, worse than Superman!

Rainbow six was kinda boring on the pc, but Raven Sheild is set to be improved from the previous games.

Looking forward to splinter cell! sticky cameras, hide in shadows, night vision, thermal vision - Drool.

this doesnt really have anything to do with xbox, but does this mean that toca race driver will be out on pc?

At the moment though Splinter Cell and Operation Flashpoint are Xbox console exclusives only (they are on PC), Codemasters have commented on a GameCube release but the Xbox one has nearly finished being developed so only time will tell! Anyway I had better get back the Ferrari F-50 is calling me :)

Well I suppose thats better. But opinions from others; about 70% of them totally hated the Rainbow Six games (myslf include) while the other 30% totally loved them.

Only in Xbox magazines! :-)

Splinter Cell is also coming to the Gamecube (although it's devellopers do seem to be concentrating on the Xbox version the most...), and Operation Flash Point might well be too (Code Masters have said that ALL their games will be multiformat).

But keep it up.

Blinx is sounding VERY interesting. :-)
