I might be one of the rare ones on this but i found HALO to be kind of repetitive and lacking in variety.

only one kind of machine gun, pistol, rocket launcher and shotgun

The laser based weapons were similar too. I dont know didnt really get me thrilled. I was raised on Goldeneye and Perfect Dark for N64 so i more naturally liked Time Splitters 2. talk about VARIETY IN WEAPONS man theres TONS of diff kinds of weapons--thats what i like. The controls in TS2 is like Goldeneye/perfect dark and arent for everyone.

RTCW is pretty good so far i like the multiplayer on LIVE for this game the best as far as FPS games go.

If you are a big enough fan where you have permanent tattoos etched into your skin over Star Wars, then you should have bought KOTOR last week. It is THAT good, & I cannot imagine anyone being a true Star Wars fan & not owning this game.

For what it's worth I am NOT a big gamer, I buy maybe 2 games a year if that & they are usually Madden & Final Fantasy & went out & bought Xbox & KOTOR yesterday just b/c I played about 20 minutes of the game at a friends house. I am at work now & all I'm thinking about is getting home & playing the game the rest of the night.

If you like mindless shooters, you'll like Serious Sam. There's none of the strategy, tactics, etc. in FPSs like Halo. Just hordes and hordes of enemies rushing at you constantly.

Seems that way. It's definitely got me wanting one.

Star Wars has a huge fanbase, and good Star Wars games are relatively few and far between (though the past couple years have been good with Rogue Leader, Jedi Knight II, KOTR and Rebel Strike this fall). Not to mention this is the first Star Wars RPG.

Sounds like a good time filler for a while until the next set of games I'm really interested comes out.

Just picked up Max Payne for $11 + tax, after PMing Target's $16 Platinum Hits pricing at Best Buy and then tacking on the $5 off Platinum Hits games Best Buy coupon from their current in store video game flyer/magazine.

Going to Game Crazy later to pick up Serious Sam.

Josh, so you might be joining the "dark side"? We'll be glad to have you Next thing you know I might be adding a PS2 to the Cube and the X-Box ... well maybe things aren't getting that crazy yet

I'll be joining some time. I'm flat broke right now though.

I'm not too keen on shelling out $179 to play KOTR, Halo, PDO and Halo 2 (only x-box games I'm dying to play) when it comes out.

I'll probably wait for the next price drop, and hope some of those games are cheaper as well by then. I've got several games I need to finish on the PS2, GC and GBA now anyway.

Sounds like Star Trek games

I am not a big Star Wars fan, but this game is sounding like it might be worth picking up.

Another thing of note, for what it's worth to the people on the fence about KOTOR. Is that I really don't like Star Wars that much. I hate the last 2 movies, & I don't even own any of the originals. It's just an amazing game & if you are a SW fan there is something wrong if you don't have this game.

The more I've been thinking about the box the less I want one. KOTOR/Halo/PDO are the only games I'd buy and I don't have the money for all of those right now. The whole online thing doesn't sell me either. GCN has a good Star Wars title this fall along with a bunch of other exclusive titles which Xbox doesn't. Maybe next year (Halo 2) I'll join the dark side. MTFBWY.

well, i pretty much think the last 3 movies are all crappy... i still got KoTOR.

I bought it a few months ago and I've enjoyed it although I have had freezing issues with it and even though I have returned it for different copies it seems that the problem is widespread.

I had read about this before. Did your problems show up immediately or was it later in game.

Also, do you know where the "03" and "05" batch numbers are physically located (i.e. on the disk)?

just do what I do. I have hated Nintendo ever since they shunned 2d console games... so when I buy Nintendo-made stuff (consoles, 1st party games etc) I always buy used stuff off the net. This way, I get to play what I want, and Ninny doesnt get any of my $ directly nor do they get higher sales #s. Just do the same thing with da box.

if you're going to "vote with your wallet" and still want to play certain games on competitors systems, thats the way to do it.

You might check a site like gametzdotcom, there are always lots of peeps there that have "system x" and want to get "system y" or games or $ or whatever. I make lots of trades there and their chat room is good too. Just an idea.
