X-Box Owners... What's on your want list?
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...
Haves: (Scores out of 5 indicate my opinion of these games)
Project Gotham Racing - 3.5/5
Halo - 4.5/5
Silent Hill 2 - 4.5/5
Amped - 4/5
Dark Summit - 3.5/5
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2X - 5/5
Dead or Alive 3 - 4/5
Haves For PC: (Scores out of 5 indicate my opinion of these games)
Max Payne - 4/5 (too short)
Return To Castle Wolfenstein - 4/5
Giants - 3.5/5

Can't Wait to Buy: (score out of 5 indicates excitement level)
Call of Cthulhu - 5/5
The Thing - 5/5
Sam and Max - 5/5
Wreckless - 4.5/5
Grand Theft Auto III - 4/5 (only cuz I already finished ot on my roommate's PS2)
Malice - 4/5 (Wasn't interested at first, but after seeing the video I must have it!)
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)
Outlaw Golf - 4/5 (Don't like golf, but this looks like tons of fun)
SWAT: Global Strike Team - 4/5
Will Probably Buy Anyway:
Brute Force - 3.5/5
Kakuto Chojin - 3.5/5
Project Ego - 3.5/5
Shenmue II - 3.5/5
Dragon's Lair 3D - 3.5/5

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.

Lucky for me, I love me some racing games
Can hardly wait for (in no particular order):
Rallisport
Unreal Championship
Jet Grind Radio Future
Brute Force
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3
Sega GT2002
and one other racing game with cars similar to the GTS class in Le Mans (forget the name). The circuits for this racer are real-life courses.
I'll be broke but happy this year.

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.

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.

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.

I currently have:
Halo
Nascar Thunder 2002 - I'm as Nascar fan and played HEAT also
but thought Thunder has better graphics and controls. The draft meter is wicked.
Wanted:
RalliSport Challenge - March 2002
Wreckless maybe after playing demo first - Next week
Ghost Recon - September 2002
Transworld Snowboarding - September 2002

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.
