pondering the X-BOX

[Xylob the Destroyer]

I never bought an X-BOX because there weren't enough exclusives for it to warrant my $$$.
Now I have an opportunity to buy a brand new X-BOX for $75.
Other than Halo and Fable, I still can't think of any X-BOX exclusives that are worth my time/$$$.
Online play only has limited appeal to me, so X-BOXLive isn't a real big selling point either.

Can any of you X-BOX junkies list off some X-BOX exclusives that would make this deal worth it to me?
I hate sports games. I dig old skool (late 80's/early 90's) gaming and LOVE games that involve blowing shit up and driving fast & reckless (especially if you combine the two!).

Come on X-BOX fanboys -- convince me to find space for the giant black & green monster among my NES, SNES, N64, TG-16, PS2, & GameCube!!

TIA!

Don't have an X-Box but Flat Out 2 for the PC is a blast...

[Xylob the Destroyer]

You're the 2nd person this week to tell me that.
I think I'll pick it up for the PS2 (not much of a PC gamer).

'Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay' was a really good game on the Xbox. It isn't technically exclusive now since it was ported to the PC, but I would recommend it.

MechAssault was awesome FYI

Also the flying one who's name escapes me...

I'm not a hardcore gamer (I mostly just play emulators and the gameboy) but at $100 I couldn't pass on the XBOX. So I bought one about a year and half ago. It came with this cool little action/adventure game that is really addicting even though it seems to be aimed at little kids. I forgot the name of it though. I also got Madden and the Sonic collection game that has all the Genesis and Game Gear Sonic games in it. Its really cool to spend some time and for that price I say buy it.

However, if you really want to entertain a group of people, I suggest the Nintendo Wii (if you can find one).

Crimson Skies was the flying game FYI

Have been looking for a Wii for a while now - trying to get one for daughter's birthday (19th) for this Sunday. On Monday Wife phones and says she has to rush out from work as a shop got two in - she luckily got the second one.

Sure enough, daughter comes home Wednesday all excited because she found a Wii and bought it... So one of my coworkers is now really happy because he's finally getting a Wii...

[Xylob the Destroyer]

oh yeah. I will definitely be gettinga Wii.
Once I have a Wii, I can get rid of half the 'legacy' consoles I have!
I'm waiting until later this year when the black and silver models are available. The stark white Wii really doesn't with with my electronics....

I posted this same topic at my other regular forum and have gotten even fewer reasons to jump on the M$ console bandwagon.
I don't think I'll be buying the X-BOX.

Psi-ops,Kill switch, James Bond Everything or Nothing, The Hulk (the 2nd hulk game not the first), Marvel Alliance, Gun,Spartan, and Family Guy are some of the titles I enjoyed.

If you get it modded you can save your games on a a larger hard drive (so you dont scratch your disks) and/or use your xbox as a media center and stream all of your audio and video files from your pc to your tv too

Careful Xylob don't be ditching your consoles just yet. The Wii is great with the Virtual Console but there are only a bare minimum amount of games available. If you want it all keep the consoles. It will be awhile before the release everything.

I'm not saying don't get the WII. just don't throw out your old consoles yet until they have all the classics released

All of those games are available on other systems and I already have my PC connected directly to my HDTV.....

[ps2daddy]

there arent harly any exclusive games for any system anymore Halo 1,2, jade empire, star wars knights of the rebucblic 1, 2 are the only "good" exclusive games I can think of off the top of my head 95% of all xobx game are also on the ps2 and a lot are already on the pc

I really like the fact that I dont have to use the disks to play the games on my xbox

[Xylob the Destroyer]

...I really like the fact that I dont have to use the disks to play the games on my xbox

is that a mod or a factory option?
