    Ah. So do I. Halo Xbox is still better though.

      THE obvious cheap XBox game to get is Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3. Surely a must-buy for any system?

          The latest is Tony Hawk's Underground.

              Good... Xbox... that's an oxymoron...
              To us, it is the BEAST.

                  That was something I was also wondering about, actually. PS2 is for RPGs, GameCube is kiddy, but what is XBox for? People who don't have a decent computer to play online with?

                    Xbox is for the best version of multiconsole games.

                    Action, racing (by far the best for racing), Xbox Live, etc.

                    Playing games on the Xbox is fundamentally different from playing them on a PC, even though many have Xbox & PC ports. Similarly, playing XBL is different from playing a PC online.

                      Oh oh... I got a bunch of used games. NBA Street, Vol 2 has been taking up my time (GREAT FUN), I also got All Star Baseball 2004, and Prince of Persia (ok, so I splurged a bit).

                        I guess I should have mentioned it earlier but I forgot to. The best baseball game on any system is World Series Baseball on the Xbox. It's pretty old (I got my copy for $5 I think), but it is substantially better than anything after it including the later World Series Baseball titles like 2K2. The games strength is its pitching. Pitching is loads of fun especially if you turn off the variable pitching option. Try picking the Red Sox and pitching with Tim Wakefield, it's ridiculously cool how much you can get his curveball to break and the knuckleball does crazy things.

                          You should have mentioned it *smacks Busta*. Then I would have gotten the latest World Series B-Ball rather than All-Star B-Ball.

                            Ah, racing.

                            Then for me there would be a "need" to have an X-Box

                            Then sports as well, correct?

                            I hear nothing but good things about, for instance, Links 2004 on the Xbox.

                              Just as an aside, MS owns All-Star Baseball now and may use that to form a basis for their "Inside Pitch" games, because the original sucked ass.

                                * ducks * No no no... don't get the latest one, you've gotta get the one from 2001. That is the best one. And yeah, sorry again for not mentioning it earlier.


                                Flameflash - Sports games are generally better on the Xbox also, but not for the reason you think. The first party titles (the XSN stuff) are generally mediocre, but that's no different from the first party titles on the Playstation (the 989 stuff). Anyone who's played 989 games knows they set the standard for sucking. The difference is that all the multi platform titles look and play better on the Xbox. All those EA commercials you see for the PS2... have you noticed that they all use XBox screens? It's borderline false advertising.
