Ok...so I'm finally buying an XBox

[shiner]

What games do people recommend? I'm picking up Madden 2004 & NCAA Football 2004 when I get the console. Any other suggestions???

Halo

 

[mchammer187]

star wars knights of the old republic (PC version probably better out in october)

halo (PC version probably better out this fall)

mech assault

Dead or Alive 3

Tao Feng

D&D : Heroes (out in october)

midnight club 2 ( if you dont have it on another console)

soul calibur 2( out this fall)

splinter cell (probably the best version available though the PC is almost as good)

if you dont have a fast PC, or dont want to wait get the PC version
only get splinter cell if you have never played/beat the other versions

Personally, I wouldn't get the two football games at the same time. I bought Madden '03 and NCAA '03 and promptly got tired off both, unless I was with friends.

I don't understand why sports games are so popular. They're really boring. The only one I liked was the Nintendo Dodgeball game, and only if I was highly inebriated.

Might want to swing by home depot, you'll need to build an addition onto your house for it.

(kidding kidding )

Halo of course, it's great if you have people over. Try and hit up a Blockbuster to see if they still have MechAssault (new) for $20 if you're going to get Live. Splinter Cell is awesome as well, and it should be getting cheap now. I'd buy at least one extra controller.

I had heard Live starter kits were going up to $65-75 this fall, but everyone seems to be selling the new kit for the old price now. I heard initially that the price was going up (and would include the headset), while a year renewal was still $50.

sports games are fun if you play against your friends.

 

[guapo337]

check out Soul Calibur 2 as well as Fifa 2003, Amped, and DDR UltraMix (November)

 

[vi edit]

Blockbuster is doing 25% off all previously used games at the moment. I picked up Mech Assault, Madden '03, and NFL Blitz for $12.00 a piece recently from there.

yah, I wouldn't get both '04 football games. I got NCAA '03 last year and picked up Madden '04 this year. I'll get NCAA '05 next year when they have the new conference realignments (Miami/VTech going to the ACC, hopefully, somebody being added to make the Big East reputable)

Can't wait for March Madness 2004 in November. Finally a good looking college b'ball game!

For whatever reason, I'm really excited about most of the '04 EA sports games this year. I'll probably eventually get Madden, NHL, NBA Live, March Madness, and Tiger Woods '04's all for Xbox.

Wow, 1000th post! Only took a little over 2 years

I'm a football addict....can't get enough of the stuff. Plus I have several friends that are the same way. Some of our old Tecmo Bowl games are the thing of legend. Haven't played Madden since the 2002 version but was at a friends house and saw 2004 last night on his PS2 and I was blown away.

It does And has thus devoured over 40 hours of my time. I'm on the last planet and ready to beat the game playing on the "Light" side of things.

Next go around I'm going all out on the path of darkness. Muahahahahahah!

besides halo, a great game is max payne. if you enjoy snowboarding, check out amped.

 

[shiner]

Ok...here's a question. My soon to be wife is a huge fan of Tomb Raider and those type games....any suggestions for games of that type on XBox?

 

[CraigRT]

HALO rocks... i just recently got my Xbox too

Colin McRae 3.0 is also pretty good.. just got that as well !

 

[NogginBoink]

Rallisport Challenge.

It's cheap, and it's insanely fun to play multiplayer. So be sure to get at least one extra controller.

 

[ace31216]

I like Halo the best! Tao Feng is not bad for a fighting game.

something a "fist of a flower" just doesnt seem that deadly to me. i think i'll pass, on no more grounds than stupidest name ever.






and on that note, the best name for any game ever, is of course, "Bubble Bobble". :beer:
