I feel sorry for you. X-Box = Bahumbug.
So if you must store that huge paperweight inside your hours, I think some nice accessories are Guilty Gear X2 Reloaded, (about 20 bucks new) Panzer Dragoon Orta, Gun Valkyrie, (1 hard ass game) Otogi 1 & 2, Fatal Frame 1 & 2, & when it comes out Megaman Anniversary Collection.
I'm a big fan of the big black box...some must haves are the above mentioned and...
Crimson Skies
SSX Tricky
Jet Set Radio Future
Project Gotham Racing 2
Rallysport Challenge 2
Both the Splinter Cell games
NBA Street vol. 2
The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay...to be honest it's a much more well designed game than Halo 2...it's great on the box and the PC...a real shock to say the least...this is an amazing title that not only surpases the films but shows that games are an art unto themselves.
Knights of the Old Republic 1 & 2...what star wars SHOULD be.
Mechassault 1
and to finish this lil list... Kingdom Under Fire: Crusaders. A very unique mix of hack n slash and real time strategy.
Oh how could I forget Mech Assualt, that game kicks major tail end.
i just got Knights of the Old Republic II but unfortunately i left my X-Box at my girlfreinds house in Cleveland :( so i have to wait untill Friday to play it
i got an xbox crystal for xmas (one of the last in sunny old doncaster woooo) and i've been playing fable non stop since i got it :D:D definately advise getting it....i would get knights of the old republic 2 but it's not out over here yet :( till febuary :fruit:
I bought my boyfriend an x box and halo 2 for x - mas! He loved it:)
Fable
:worship::worship::worship::worship::worship: :worship:**
Bloodrayne and/or Bloodrayne 2. :)
PsiOps is like pure awesomeness distilled down into a liquid and put into a can that also contains a healthy dose of "whoopass," and I would feel bad if I did not recommend it.
I'm happy enough with my books and internet access not to need xbox or anything similar.
Knights of the Old Republic (awesome)
Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow (awesome as well)
Baldur's Gate 1 & 2, if you like fantasy RPG, which I do
Heroes Chronicles: see above
Thief: Deadly Shadows (kinda like a medieval Splinter Cell, fun play, annoying purple save screen that's a tad too bright)
Fable (more of an open-ended RPG)
Deus Ex (gorgeous, but complicated)
I heard Morrowind was good too but I couldn't get into it
Good for you...no one asked though.Quote:

Why should they? It takes intelligence to pinpoint the right questions every single time.Quote:

hey I got a xbox for christmas, from mr karl to mr karl and since the last thing I played was zelda for the super nes I think fable rocks, although I might change my mind in a while
oh xbox my precious xbox, no body understands me like you do
Just stay on topic man, the thread was about game recommendations not whether or not one found a "need" for an Xbox.Quote:

Dead of Alive: Ultimate...a very well executed online version of the usually shallow series. This version offered a much deeper game for the fighting game vet to get into without sacrificing the pick up and play nature of the series.
Totally, the games slick use of physics make for some very unique fun...who knew using bodies as ragdolls could be so much fun?Quote:

It's true! :1orglaugh One of my favourite things to do in that game is light one guy on fire, then throw him at his friends and set them on fire too. Though this guy goes far more in depth into some of the more comical things you can do (and is even generous enough to write about it) than I have done thus far. I should rent that game again...Quote:

No it wasen't, but if I was rude about pointing it out, my appologies. That said, you should give some games a shot. Usually don't like to say "dude you're missing out" but in this case you kinda are. I mean that in a good way. Their are some games out that really put the whole genre into a category of true art.Quote:

The depth in that game is amazing with really only Virtua Fighter 4 on the PS2 hitting the same level (possibly surpassing it...it IS VF after all...but it's also 3D a very diffrent style).Quote:

I agree with you that your comment was on topic.Quote:

Video games don't interest me, the same as tv doesn't interest me - and I don't feel that I am missing out on anything because I do so many others things which you perhaps don't - so, are you missing out?Quote:

Just the same, every time you sit down with a book in your hands, you miss out on whatever else you could've done during time you spent reading. It's unavoidable. But the real question here is whether or not you enjoyed that time you spent reading/gaming/whatever. If so, then that's all that really matters.Quote:
