I bought an X-Box finally and got Manhunt and Splinter Cell(the first one). I'm loving them both. What are some really good games for the X-Box? I'm sure Halo will come up, and i'll be getting that one soon. I don't really want GTA III or VC cause I played and beat them both when I had the PS2. Hitman Contracts is probably one I will get too...I played it bout a week ago and man, that game rocks. But anywho, any games for X-Box that are a must?

Rainbow Six 3 and get Full Spectrum Warrior when it comes out in June.

also get Fable, Doom 3, Halo 2, Psi Ops:The Mindgate Cospiracy and Darkwatch when they come out in like 6 thousand years. (most of them get released between August and November)

but since u got Manhunt, and that is one extremely loveable game. you should try The Suffering. It's not stealth, its kinda like Duke Nukem, the third-person style, but you should rent it first. I tmight not be your cup of tea.

Also get NHL 2004 or wait for 2005. But I'd get 2004 like right ****ing now.

No need to get Halo because when Halo 2 comes out November 9, you'll have wasted that money.

Cool. I'm the typical action/adventure lover. I fall in love with games like GTA, Manhunt, and anything else that involves walk-through's or just violence. Is Max Payne 2 good? I played the first one for PS2, and liked it. And it might sound stupid, but I even like dumb kiddy games. Fairly Oddparents and Spongebob are fun to play when you are bored and don't feel like blowing off someone's face. How about Serious Sam? I heard that was a pretty fun game as well.

Sweet. I played that on PS2 also, and thought it was fun. I forgot about it. Thanks for reminding me. :y:

Halo sucks :shifty:

Erm, Ninja Gaiden is pretty fun, 2nd Splinter Cell > 1st.
XBox Live, get it - it makes XBox 9846597465890754750909 times more fun.
Project Gotham Racing 2 is a pretty good racing game.
Soul Calibur 2 is probably the best fighter at the mo.

Can't think :(

How about XIII?(13) That game looked cool, but never heard anything else about it.

Max Payne 2 is small? What do you mean?

How much is XBox live? Hard to hook up?

XBox Live is pretty easy to set up. (It's harder for me cause I use AOL Broadband - damn dad - so I have to set it up every time, but then it only takes about 10 seconds)
You need a broadband internet connection, and a LAN wire would be handy.
The way I got it set up, I connect to the internet, turn on Internet Connection Sharing, then go to my XBox (the XBox is connected to my network card in my pc).
Once you've got the initial hardware setup (connecting to pc, etc) then it's easy to get on.
http://www.xbox.com/live - all the details there

I have XIII for the PC, it's pretty fun :D

The game is way too easy to finish and it doesn't take more than like 7 hours.

And I believe you pay Xbox live every month, like 30$ I think? (Canadian)

Live in the UK s £4 a month or £39.99 for the year.
If you buy the starter kit (£40) you get a year's subscription and the headset, and either a game or a game demo or something.

Games to get for XBOX.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Rebulic (Best XBOX out right now imo)
Max Payne 2 (Game is fu</>cking sweet, a bit short tho)
Dynasty Warriors 4
Samruai Warrior (When it comes out)
Fable ( Next month :cool: )
Suideki ( Next month also :cool: )
Halo
Halo 2 ( Nov. 9th :( So far away)
XIII ( Cel shadeing at it's best)
Timesplitters 2 (A bit old, but still fun, or you can wait for 3)
Otagi (Graphics are simply amazing, and the game isn't half bad either)

Max Payne 2 is best on PC so if you have a PC that can run it don't even bother with Xbox. Fable is going to be the best RPG for the Xbox when it's out. Live is $50/year. Other then that just save your money for upcoming games.

Nope, nowhere locally seems to have it :(

I've heard it suffers from some pretty bad lag issues though

Well, I just bought XIII. I love this game. So awesome. Graphics are simply beautiful. My friend also bought Red Dead Revolver, and that is very nice as well.

If I see it, I'll probably buy it tho :)

Just remembered, I used to have Capcom vs SNK 2 for PS2 - I took it back cause of cash shortage :shifty:

Live play could tempt me to own it again

05-17-2004, 06:22 PM
Yeah, some sweet games: Ninja Gaiden, Project Gotham Racing (1or2), MGS: Substance, Shenmue II, any EA Sports game, and Star Wars: KOTOR

Anyone played Spawn:Armageddon?

Y2Crippler
05-23-2004, 02:52 PM
There's a few games I am looking at and want to know if they are worth anything...are they fun? Too easy? Any comments are welcome.

1. Futurama
2. Fairly Oddparents:Breakin' Da Rules
3. Turok:Evolution
4. Hunter: The Reckoning
5. Serious Sam
6. Return to Castle Wolfenstein
7. Spongebob:Battle for Bikini Bottom
8. Mafia
9. Tenchu:Return From Darkness
10. Marvel vs. Capcom 2
11. Soul Calibur 2
12. Spawn:Armageddon
13. WWE Raw 2

I guess that is all I can think of right now. I plan on getting Halo next week and the second one when it comes out.

Jonster
05-23-2004, 03:20 PM
Haven't played them all, so I'll mention what I've heard about them - if anything.

1. Futurama - Average platformer, only really for fans
3. Turok:Evolution - Terrible :shifty:
5. Serious Sam - Fast paced FPS, meant to be fun for a while
6. Return to Castle Wolfenstein - Good online game, dunno much.
8. Mafia - Not as good as PC version, a bit dated now with GTA games
10. Marvel vs. Capcom 2 - Pretty good 2D beat em up
11. Soul Calibur 2 - Own the GC version, good game :)
13. WWE Raw 2 - Used to own this, was alright, but never really got into it. I got HCTP shortly after

LoDownM
05-23-2004, 04:19 PM
Turok - Worst FPS Shooter ever. They ruined what was once great :(
Hunter - Its ok, but you can't beat it with more then 1 player, camera gets messed up.
RTCW - Good game. Xbox Live will make it better
Tenchu - Great.

Forget wrestling games. Those ended on n64 with No Mercy.
