seconded.. It's quite entertaining. With regards to Psychonauts and BG&E. I think you can find Psychonauts on the internet (www.doublefine.com has it, I think). BG&E is a bit more difficult, I bought my copy in Bruxelles on a holiday, since I couldn't find it on the internet. EDIT: Get Full Spectrum Warrior!! That's a really good game |
Press Junketeer Posts: 409 Joined: 24 May 2008 | If your comfortable with mods, you should consider getting Morrowind for the PC instead, as it can be heavily upgraded graphically and gameplay-wise. But, the important thing is that you get Morrowind. |

No, it's not! The second one is the best in the series in terms of gameplay. Sure the setting is a little too angsty, but it's got the best platforming in the series, plus the Dahaka sections and the story twist is fantastic. Aside from the Godsmack soundtrack it's the best game in the series. I'd also recommend playing through Splinter Cell 1-3. Apart from that, you've pretty much got everything that was essential on the Xbox. Particularly Panzer Dragoon Orta. I fucking love that game. |

YES!!! How could I have forgotten this one? |
PROBATION Posts: 289 Joined: 26 Jan 2008 | See, this is why I like asking people what games to pick up, instead of just reading reviews: people usually allot more points on the basis of what's fun than reviewers do. So thus far what's been reccomended is: - Oddworld series User was put on probation for: What the hell is everyones problem with these so-called "casual" gamers?. (3 days) |

Gone Gonzo Posts: 2977 Joined: 13 Aug 2008 | Did people actually read the list of games he already has? Alot (not saying "all" but alot) of you are telling him to get games he already has. I would recomend Star Wars: Republic Commando |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1978 Joined: 16 May 2008 |
yeah, seriously, you have a collection like that and you're asking us for suggestions? those are basically ALL the good games on the Xbox. the only suggestion I'd make is Halo/Halo 2 I'm not a big Halo fan, but there's really no reason for an old Xbox aficionado not to own them. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2977 Joined: 13 Aug 2008 | Oh and GUN. I'm pretty sure there was a version of that on the original xbox (since the 360 version looked very much like a port) |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1292 Joined: 5 May 2008 | Add Psychonauts and Voodoo Vince to that list and I'd say you're golden. |

I'll make a slight concession - I kinda liked it the first time (if only to get the story, but it's recapped in part three, and the canonical ending is the hard-to-get one anyway), but when I tried to replay the entire series, I couldn't find it in me to redo "Warrior Within". The replay value was nonexistent for me, and I could only see the flaws (granted, the soundtrack is the most glaring one perhaps). But that may just be me. Oh, and I second the Splinter Cell games. They were FAR better than I thought, since I've never enjoyed any other "Tom Clancy" game. |

Agreed, 2 is bigger, better designed (a lot) harder but also fairer. Freedom Fighters is an excellent game too. |
