I figure it would be a good place for people to exchange ideas and general thoughts on upcoming (and existing) X-Box games. Some of us will have similar tastes and perhaps list a title that other people don't know much about. So I want to see lists and discussions people!

Here's my list... I have to be honest and say that the X-Box games that are on deck to be released are looking less and less impressive. Lots of racers and RPGs... I mean - how many stupid racing games do you need? Just one good one is all it takes. There's still enough Must Have titles though to make owning an X-Box totally worth it. The hardest part is waiting...

Yager - 4/5
Hitman 2 - 4/5
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 - 4/5 (played it on PS2, not lovin it but it's growing on me)

Other
Genma Onimusha - Looks impressive, but I'm afraid the gameplay isn't something I'd be into... pass
Maximum Chase - looked cool at first, but after watching some video on it I now think it just looks like another crap car game with terrible physics.
Terminator: Dawn of Fate - They never get Terminator games right and I doubt this one will prove any different... still, hoping they pull this one out of their a$$es at the last minute.

Spiderbite

Released games:

I own: Halo, Max Payne, Simpsons RR, NBA Live2002, Bloodwake, & NFLFever 2002.

I owned but have gotten rid of: Silent Hill 2

I may eventually buy (once they are cheaper): Obi-wan, Starfighter, DOA3, Azurik, Arctic Thunder, NBA Inside Drive 2002

To be released games:

Will definitely buy: Wreckless, James Bond, Brute Force, Hunter, Crazy Taxi, Grand theft Auto, Turok, SWAT, Medal of Honor

Future maybes: Circus Maximus, Spy Hunter, NBA 2 Night 2002 & 2K2, Test Drive, House of the Dead, Spider-Man, Terminator, Enclave, Outlaw Golf, The Thing, Project Ego, Metal Gear Solid

Luckily I like quick-jump-in-fast paced games & it is looking good for me so far. I can never get enough of games where I run from the cops or shoot at people, so I am pretty happy with what is coming. I also like that they are not coming out all at once so I can pace myself, play the games (no shelf sitters as new games come out), & not go too broke in the process. Everyone is bitching about the releases & schedule but I am quite pleased.

joltaddict

Got Halo, Project Gotham, DOA3, Starfighter, Obiwan, Max Payne and NBA Inside Drive.

#1 want... Unreal Championship.

The Thing looks like its gonna be sweet as well as Brute Force. Id buy a Box version of GTA3 in a heartbeat too.

Mattalos

I have: DoA3 and Halo

Will Buy: Jet Set Radio Future, Gun Valkyrie and Shenmue 2

Not really anything else I'm interested in at the moment.

Trelach24

I want to get Halo but I'm just not sure I'll like it.

TheVelvetRope

I've held off buying the "Shenmue II" import in hopes that the XBox version will prove well worth the 9-10 month wait still ahead of me. I'm interested in a few other titles already mentioned, but I will probably wait until after E3 to get really revved up over anything.

Joe Schmoe

Have: DOA3, Project Gotham Racing, Fusion Frenzy, Blood Wake, Artic Thunder, Tony Hawk 2X

Only game I want now is Circus Maximus. Ever since "Gladiator" the movie came out, I've wanted to play a game about gladiator combat and chariot racing.

haha... That's gotta be fun just looking at the box and the shiny disc. Hope you get one soon - it's a fun system.

V-ism

I had Halo and DOA3 for almost a month before I got the Xbox console (waiting on it as a gift). And at this time, there is nothing on the horizon I want to get. If Soul Calibur 2 comes out on Xbox I'll probably get that, but nothing else for now.

cubanx

I have a $100 Best Buy Gift Card and waiting till my Birthday in FEB. to see if I get another. Yeah it does stink having a game I want to play and no console
