New XBOX! what should I get?

GargoyleBoy · Post by **GargoyleBoy** » Mon Nov 08, 2004 11:28 am

So, my wife bought my PS2 an XBox to keep it company, and bought Fable to go with it. Which was awfully nice of her.

My question is this: What games do you guys consider must-have for the X-Box? (Not too interested in sports or racing games, though)

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
Halo 2

Crimson Skies
Otogi 1+2
Ninja Gaiden
Voodoo Vince

I'd been thinking about KOTOR. It's now on my list.
Chronicles of Rddick also. I'll give the other ones a look-see, see if they appeal to me. thanks!

Having lots of fun with Fable right now.

You need to rent Burnout 3 and see if it changes your mind on racing games. Its amazingly fun.

There's some game coming out this week... Box 2... no, er... Ringu 2, no that's not quite right...Polyhe-

Just to warn you, Ninja Gaiden is hard.

You know, I didn't think I would like racing games either when I got my XBox. I decided to buy one just to make sure I was right, and at the time Burnout 3 was not released. So I got Project Gotham Racing 2. OMG! I love that game. The only game I love more in Prince of Persia.

So, I would recommend:

Prince of Persia (lots of acrobatic fun to be had here)
Project Gotham Racing 2 (in spite of your comment!

)
Gladius (if you like TBS RPGs, I just got this one and have been loving it so far)

To a lesser degree (mostly cause I suck at these games, so I don't like them as much as other people seem to):
Halo (I'm not good at FPS games on the console yet)
Crimson Skies (Why do I suck at this game?!)

I think the game you're thinking of is called Circle 2.

I'll... take a look at it. I find racing games boring. It was the hardest part, for example, of Ratchet & Clank for me to get through, and mostly just because going over the same track over and over again... seems pointless.

I just finished Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance on PS2. Is the X-Box version substantially different?

Gladius, which should still be $15 at Toys 'R Us
