March looks Hot for XBOX- thoughts?
Hello Fellow XBoxer's
I know this may be a bit early but from what I've seen March looks to be one of the better months for new titles being released providing no set-backs. I know Halo 2 rules the roost on Live now but it looks like three games scheduled for March may start to spread the on-line play around. The question is my fellow gamemates is which is the most promising and anticipated especially for on-line gameplay?
Here's the three and your thoughts?
Star Wars Republic Commando
Doom 3
Unreal Tournament - The Liandri Conflict
Having been a UT fan for the last 4 years I can say this one looks to have a different mix of characters but retain the usual superb arena's of play. For me this one is a must.

For me, it'll be Republic Commando, but I am honestly more interested in single player for that right now. But, it the single player is no good and the multi is, I'll play.

I have both Star Wars Republic Commando and Doom 3 preordered. The demo for Republic Commando let me down a bit so I might end up moving the money from it to another game. I'm still trying to figure that one out.
As for Doom 3 I'm looking forward to it only if my one friend on XBOX Live gets it. I really want to play online co-op on this one and if he passes on getting it I'll pass as well.
I love FPS games so I'll probably just end up getting them. The only other games in the near future I have interest in would be Dead To Rights 2 and the new Rainbow Six game. No matter what I get I'll be shooting at something. I just glad Stranger is coming out soon because I'm really dying to play that one.

I'm excited about Doom 3. My computer stinks so I can't play it on my PC, so it'll be neat to finally give it a whirl.

When you can point and click with your mouse faster than your computer can load programs, then it's slow.

I have very high hopes for Close Combat, myself.
Then there's the baseballs, Splinter Cell at the back of the month, a Worms game, a Wrestlemania, to name a few... although a little heavy on FPS, that's still a decent variety of online games for just one month.

None of the above interest me. Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory and Far Cry: Instincts, now those are the two March titles that I'm looking forward to. I've already got Doom 3 on PC, and while the graphics were great, I wasn't too impressed with the game, certainly not enough to pick up the xbox verson.

Doom 3 is nothing special, one of the biggest dissapointments last year for me, only games I think im getting is God of War and Mark of Kri 2 for ps2 and SC: Chaos Theory for PC, oh and I forgot about Time Splitters, hopefully that turns out good.

Maybe we can get the "MythBusters" guys to find out for us.

Jade Empire is probably my most awaited xbox game. Doom 3 I will get for the pc. Haven't heard anything about SW Republic Commando, but I don't have high expectations for any Star Wars game. Haven't heard anything about UT.

I know I have Doom 3:Collector's Edition and SW Republic Commando on preorder at GameRush with trade-in deals. I'm a bit hesitant about both, but both sound good. RC sound like a Rainbow Six 3 clone though
