So this weekend I've decided to get an Xbox, anyone got some suggestions for games I should check out?

Right now all I've got that I'm getting is Ninja Gaiden and renting Riddick. Though I've already beat KOTOR on PC, and Halo is stupid.

Other than that, suggest away!

Josh has been playing Crimson Skies, and the first time he played it I got "seasick" from watching the plane do rolls and stuff.

That is an awesome game.

Legacy of Kain - Defiance

The only thing that bugged the hell out of me in that game was that I had no control over the camera. It really made block puzzles a bitch, because the positioning of the camera in some spots meant that no matter which direction you tried to push the block in, it only went in one.

I rented it for PS2, not a bad game by any extent, but why lord, why are the textures so terrible?!

Because you rented it for PS2.

But looking at the shots from the Xbox version, the textures are just as bad.

Pick up the latest copy of XBox Magazine. Go to the ratings page towards the back. Pick up anything that's rated 8.5 and higher. Don't buy anything rated less than 7.5. You'll end up with a decent cross-section of games.

I'm planning on eventually getting an XBox just so I can beat Project Gothem Racing. I loved that game.
What's this thing do?
That would be sooo cool if it wasn't going to hurt us.

For my Xbox I have:

Morrowind: Decent game, almost dated graphics, but a good game if you feel like exploring.
Arx Fatalis: Ever played Ultima Underworld? Yeah.
Baldur's Gate 2: Dark Alliance: Arent all BG games at least decent? Uses the Fallout:BOS graphics engine, I believe.
Hunter: The reckoning: Kill a bunch of rotting dudes and werewolves.


Personally, I'm waiting for Seduki and Fable.

Prince of Persia, Beyond Good and Evil, and Chronicles of Riddick are all excellent games for rentals. However they're a bit short to warrant purchases.

So I got the Xbox, rented Theif Deadly Shadows and Riddick.

Theif owns, I've always played Rogue-ish classes in any RPG I play, so a game focused on my favourite class owns.

Riddick is pretty neat, seems like graphic wise a taste of what Doom 3 will look like.

Anyway, I've beat BG A2 on PS2, and beat Prince of Persia twice already. Morrowind I've always hated, I had it for PC when I had my 9700 AIW Pro. I also beat BGAE for PS2 when I rented it a couple times.

I'm thinking of maybe picking up Full Spectrum Warrior and seeing what that's like. Anyone have any input on this?

X-Box also has some special edition that contains all of the expansions for the original game. In other words, where as PC owners had to fork out $50 for Morrowind, and then $30 for Tribunal, and another $30 for Bloodmoon, X-Box owners can get all 3 for $50. Of course, that also comes to the price of not being able to get any mods.

Riddick had more jaggies than some sort of many-jaggy-having thing.

You can buy a morrowind boxed set on Amazon with both expansions for like, 40 bucks.

Full Spectrum Warrior is awesome, but it gets me motion sick for some reason.

The stuff your soldiers say is hilarious.

like 2 years ago yeah, now you can get PC version of all 3 for 30 bucks. Honestly, I found the game 10x better with mods. For some people however, they probably don’t need them to enjoy the game. Whichever you prefer.
