Wow, and it reads just like a Microsoft press release!

As with any other sort of entertainment, it boils down to personal preference in many cases. There are plenty of good games for the machine, but it's pointless to recommend something like Ninja Gaiden or Chronicles of Riddick if you aren't a fan of action games or shooters.

What types of games do you usually enjoy (console or PC), as that information can help us make better suggestions to fit your tastes.

I like pretty much anything...tell me some of your favorites.

If you are into racing games Project Gotham Racing 2 is a must, or if you like first person shooters Halo is definetly the game to try

MUST HAVE: Splinter Cell 1 & 2
Good Shooters: Rainbow Six 3, Halo (although not a fan of it myself)
Good RPGs: Fable, Morrowind

I don't really play any xBox games, just watch my brother play them. I only have an xBox for modding reasons. Although I have done some splinter cell PT lan parties and I must say that is the most revolutionary multiplayer I have ever seen, SO much fun!

Those are my two favorite games..

Halo was probably the most fun & challenging single player FPS I've ever played.. Great storyline, good graphics for a console, smooth feel/control, comical enemies with decent AI.. I was totally blown away by this game.. I expected it to be "so-so" and by the second level when I crash landed on the halo surface, I was totally sucked into it. Coop is fun as well.

I can't wait for the sequel.

Burnout 3 > Project Gotham Racing. more arcadey, less Sim but SUPER FUN.

Give Ninja Gaiden a whirl. I still consider it to be one of the finest action games I've ever played.

I got R6-3 and didn't care for it at all. I played the pc versoins way too much for them to switch the reticule up on me like they did...

THe aiming i couldn't get used to and it killed the game for me...Other than that good graphics and the controls were tight too....D@mned reticule...

TRy out Star Wars: Knights of the Old republic if you have time for an RPG.

Halo, Ghost Recon (not as pretty as R6)

If you like flying try out Secret Weapons over Normandy, you can nab it for pretty cheap! Controls and graphics were really good on this one.

Football get the ESPN2k5 (ive only broken ONE controller playing online!

)

hope this helps

have fun

Thanks guys

Cant wait for Halo2 ive got the original for PC and it was awesome. I am gonna check out Morrowmind and Fable along with Project Gotham.

JBKM - Ive got ESPN 2k5 for the PS2 and I think it is better than Madden.

Rainbow six 3 black arrow is a great game. Also if you like hockey then try out espn nhl2k5, excellent game and at 20 bucks you really cant go wrong. I also have Crimson Skies which is a good game IMO.

I really enjoyed Def Jam 2 - Fight for NY.

Loved smashing opponents against the walls.

and its quite challenging even on normal.

AKI Corp. make it and these guys know what they are doing... they made wreslting games on the N64.

DOA Ultimate should be out tomorrow, and the Live play is virtually perfect.

Fatal Frame II and LOTR: The Third Age should both be out within a week as well.

Halo 2 when its released on Nov.8. My buddy at work won't shut up about it.

Fable is good too. Spongebob Squarepants the Movie
