    Only problem with ALL XBox games is the fact is their so dang boring....

    any game that has to pertain to a story it should and does fail; this is from my adventures with the machine. The fighting games like DOA and the Game Halo and about any sports game are good games. But if it were up to Microsoft to come out with games like Final Fantasy, Mario, Zelda, Rayman, games like that...we would all be screwed!


    The XBox does have the best graphics, and best sound quality, it rules in that area. In overall gaming (story plot) it sucks completely. No game have I played can keep me occupied for more than a hour...

    Nintendo may not be the best of the crop but it has some of the best games I have played, Mario, Super Smash Brothers, Zelda, Resident Evil - them games have gotta be awesome.

    Play Station has final fantasy, and that game is just completely awesome! Hands down!

    Remember, gaming isnt about graphics and sound (although that is nice). Gaming is about the game.

    IMO of course..

    What up with all the PS2 bashing? I love all my systems. I was one of the 500 000 in North America to own a PS2 on launch day. I lined up in front of Future Shop for 4 hours. I use my PS2 a lot and never had a problem with it. I only had to open it up once to clean the lens with compressed air when it was having problems reading some discs. Now it's still working good as new(almost 3 years).

    Here's a list of all the FPS's I own from the first game and the systems I owned the games for.

    Wolfenstein 3D (PC, Super Nintendo)
    Doom (PC, Super Nintendo, Sega 32X))
    Doom 2 (PC)
    007 Goldeneye (Nintendo 64)
    Quake (Nintendo 64, Sega Saturn)
    Turok (Nintendo 64)
    Quake 3 (Dreamcast)
    Time Splitters (PS2)
    Unreal Tournament (PS2)
    Red Faction (PS2)
    Halo (XBOX)
    Return to Castle Wolfenstein (XBOX). The XBOX version of RtCF is awesome because you get the original Wolf 3D when you beat the game.

    FPS I'm really looking forward to is Doom3 on XBOX. So far Halo is THE best FPS I've ever played.

    Sid,
    Sorry, I don't fully agree with you. Although old school style games are great, especially when playing against 3 of your friends, story based games can be much better when you just want to chill. Ever get emotionally attatched to characters in a game? RPG games like the Final Fantasy series is better than most Hollywood movies IMO. If you though the FF game on Playstation was good, you gotta try Final Fantasy 3 on Super Nintendo(Took me almost 300 hours to complete. FF3 is my favorite FF game in the series. Zelda on Super Nintendo is also my favorite Zelda game, gonna play the Game Cube version soon. You gotta give those games a chance, you might find one you really enjoy. The best story based game(and graphic) on Xbox is Splinter Cell.

    How about adding some of the whackiest games you've played.

    #1 Seaman(Sega Dreamcast). This game comes with a mic that attatches to the controller. You start with some Seaman eggs in your aquarium. You have to keep adjusting oxygen levels, light, food, etc. They are fish with a human head and face. Seaman is a mean SOB, if you're not nice to him, he'll talk trash to you and throw his own **** on the TV screen. I took great care of mine and within 3 weeks, I raised him until maturity and set him free. I saw them mate, eat, play and had very interesting conversations with them. The commentary is narrated by Leonard N btw(spock from Star Trek)

    #2 Space channel 5 (Sega Dreamcast) You control a sexy diva reporter named Ulala. Some evil Aliens are taking over planets and your only way to save the good guys is by outdancing your alien opponenets. Yes, it's a dancing game. You don't dance like Dance Dance Revolution, but you make your character dance. While your dancing away, you are broadcasted on TV and you must keep your ratings up.

    Believe it or not, Michael Jackson made an appearane in the game and he was named Space Michael. The polygon model of him looks real, I don't knonw if that's a good or bad thing. He did the voice acting and performed a lot of high pitched "ooh" while grabbing his crotch and dancing LOL.

    Maurice

    *edit* I agree that upgrading the cables make a huge differece. My Dreamcast has S-Video. Monster component and Ultralink optical on my XBOX and Acoustic Research S-Video with Ultralink optical for the PS2.

    Organ,
    I agree with you. I love story based games, I love it when they make your interactive with the games...

    that is why I don't like XBox. Halo is their only *good* story/action game. The rest story based games totally suck.....

    not really

    I think the Xbox uses a 600mhz? or 800mhz PC...

    Where as CPU's are getting up in the 2.5-3ghz....long way for consoles....but they will eventually get there. When they start to get in the 1ghz+ range, I will purchase one...not until then

    Damn Sean! I'd never give someone a console for their b-day:D. I'd spend $100max on the gift:).

    I'm more of a console guy. Both have their followers. People who like PC are more into strategy, FPS and online gaming. Consoles are better for arcade style games and RPG's. Consoles also rules when it comes to fighting and racing games.

    The XBOX does look weak when comparing the specs to a high end gaming PC but let's not forget that consoles are designed specifically for gaming. The resolution is also lower so that saves a lot of processing power. But there are more and more high definition games coming out on XBOX and Game Cube. PS2 has the lowest resolution.

    XBOX is very powerful. You need a kick **** PC to run Doom 3. ID Software mentioned that XBOX is the only console that could handle Doom 3. Release date for the XBOX and PC is scheduled to hit the market before the end of the year. I can't wait! OK, I think I'll stop now and play some Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volley Ball:D.

    Me too!! I haven't decided if I want to buy the XBOX or PC version yet.

    You perve....you actually spent good money on that? Go pickup a copy of Soul Calibur II man....kick a$$. I picked up a copy of NFL Fever 2004 yesterday...awesome game play, graphics, and passing control... Micro$oft had definately improved over last years version.

    I am waiting to see what Micosoft does next though. Will they make the next XBox compatible with the old XBox? If they do, I will definetely buy the next one, because I don't feel like dropping bones to see in-compatible games that I can't play...

    Rumor has it that it will not be compatible. Then again, the XBOX2 won't be out till 2006 or so....

    Well think about it this way....the PC games you buy today are worthless (at least in my opinion) after a few years anyway. You spend the same amount of money for XBOX/PC games (unless you're some sort of PC warez freak). The deals on XBOX are real sweat. (Console, Extra Controller, (2 free games in the XBOX box) + 1 additional game for like $200) **** I bought my Xbox back in Feb 2002 and paid like $500 bux for an XBOX, extra controller and 2 games!

    Anthony, Yeah I spent the money on the game but I love it. The game is quite challenging and keeping your friendship with the other players and partners is fun. After a while you'll know what each girl likes/dislike so you can buy a nice gift for them. Oh yeah, it's also the sexiest game!

    I will buy Soul Calibur 2 but I'm going to wait for a used copy. I have the first Soul Calibur on Dreamcast and it's so similar to SC 2 that I don't want to spend the extra cash. My brother picked it up for his Game Cube.

    Sid,
    It's going to be a while before you see XBOX 2. Even if they're not compatible, there's plenty of great games out there already and by the time XBOX2 comes out there will be even more. You should look around and find some video games dealers (not chain stores or EB). In these stores you will find used games cheap for just about every video game systems. They usually sell new realeases a little cheaper than EB. Last week I went to my dealer and picked up four Dreamcast games. Dreamcast died a few years ago and the games are very cheap.
    If you do get XBOX, you HAVE to pick up Halo. Don't forget the High Def pack so you can get component or S-video and DD using an optical cable.
    I'm sure they will do a price drop around x-mas because it's selling so well and there's some tough competition with Sony.
