Once Sarkkahn pays me the money he owes me I will finally have enough money to maybe get an xbox. Now I know of some games that look good but I would like somewhat of a wishlist.

So... what are the good Xbox games?

The ones that I think I may like are:
Mech Assault
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell
Halo
GunMetal
Robotech Battlecry
Sudeki when it comes out
And Steel Battalion if someone else got it for me... Yeah it looks cool and all but come on $200 for one game!

So what are the other good games?

I heard my name! Heehee...i love being a professional gameer (remember...I DO get payed for this kind of stuff).


Mech Assault - Good X-Box Live game. Offline is ony a mediocre 'mech game...and more arcade-like than a Battletech sim. Still, its fun...IF u have XBOX Live

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell - Game of the year, easily. I dont think I really need to say more about it.

Halo - The best FPS game for a console period. Good for a little single player...but main use is for the 4 player split screen as its pretty fun to jump into.

GunMetal - Meh...steer clear

Robotech Battlecry - better than GunMetal, but harder than hell. Good for Robotech fans or robot combat fans. Little else here.

Sudeki when it comes out - Dont know too much here

Steel Batalion would be worth getting, actually...should u have the money. It is plain awesome...no other game like it.

What else? Metal Gear: Solid: Substance. its Metal Gear Solid, but with like 200 extra VR kind of missions.

Dead or Alive 3. Best fighting game on the X-Box. And if they make it, Capcom vs SNK 2. Best 2d fighter...and maybe the best fighter PERIOD. Elder Scrolls: Morrowind if you like long games that will last forever. Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon...its more like a Rainbow Six FPS, but better as it has more options and the such.

Pro Race Driver when it hits will be THE racing game for the X-Box (and PS2, actually, finally displacing the GT3).

Those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

Oh yeah...if you do have XBOX Live...the Star Wars: Galaxies online RPG will be the only game you need worry about.

FYI part of that cost is for the specail controls for it only. That mean it will not work with a standard controller though. It is a great if you are a hardcore Mecha fan. It receive an average grade of So-So, considering all the reviews now. It is certainly a bit more realistic like doing the start-up procedure (several things to do in order to start up, not speedy mind you from what I read) each mission. Enemy act different on difficulty level, at easiest level your missiles can hit them, at hardest level even the most lumbering ones can dodge most of your missiles just to give you an idea.

You know, if the Microsoft said anything about producing some new games that will allow you to use the controls from the Steel Battalion, then more consumers might get the game itself.

I am sure somethinf will use it. The company that makes the game will prolly offer a sequal, or updates via X-Box Live.

Yeah if there were other games that use the controller then it would probably be worth it.
