G'day all.

Recently got an X-BOX for christmas, and was wondering what games are "must have" so to speak. Anyone want to let me know what games I couldn't possible live without, once I get them?

Currently spending copious amounts of time on Halo, and loving it.

Throw ideas at me, people! (please)

-Dave

KotOR the Sith Lords

Hivetyrant 12-30-2004 06:00 AM

Fable [img]graemlins/finger.gif[/img] only problem with it, is that it is a tad short, but I have replayed the game differently twice now [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Halo 2
Moto GP2- I have only played the demo, but if you like motorbikes, then you will probably like this.
Rally sport challenge 1&2

Oh, and you should know better Dave [img]tongue.gif[/img] this belongs in the miscelanious games board [img]tongue.gif[/img] :D

Dave_the_quack 12-30-2004 06:19 AM

True dat, Hive....

Would a mod kindly move this thread for me? My bad.

Johnny... what the heck is 'KotOR the Sith Lords'?

Only recently got an Xbox... and therefore do not know the abbreviations for any games yet. Sorry.

Hivetyrant 12-30-2004 06:37 AM

KOTOR-Knights of the old republic
a 3d 3rd person Star wars game (very good)
KOTOR-Sith lords: The sequel [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Ziroc 12-30-2004 06:42 AM

I got one too. I Got gift cards and bought:

Arx Fatalis (used ($15)
Morrowind (used) $15
Fable
Prince of Persia: Warrior Within (FREAKING AWESOME) -- I loved the first one too.

Those are awesome games. Arx and Morrowind will take over 100 hours alone to beat, so those are worth it big time.

Fable is fun, lightharded and has a great atmosphere.

Dave_the_quack 12-30-2004 07:01 AM

Thanks Z.

You picked up Xbox games for FIFTEEN BUCKS? I dont care if they are used, thats bloody dirt cheap!

*sigh* if only it were so in OZ.

Anyone else?

Hivetyrant 12-30-2004 07:09 AM

Hey dave, head over to your local EB(electonics botique(sp?)) and you can get 2nd hand games dirt cheap, especially if you trade something in....like top spin [img]tongue.gif[/img] :D

Kakero 12-30-2004 07:14 AM

Dead or Alive : Beach Volleyball. You'll thank me for that. :D

Dave_the_quack 12-30-2004 07:32 AM

Kakero... I'm assuming that they have more than female talent to view in that game....??

Otherwise... I'm guessing I'm not going to be too interested lol.

Thanks, though [img]smile.gif[/img]

Hive - haha... EB... shoulda known. As for top spin, well, lets just say I should prolly give it ONE go before tossing it, ja? :D

Hivetyrant 12-30-2004 07:37 AM

Yeah give it a go, its not THAT bad.
lol as for the volleyball game... Kakero, lets just say...Dave tends to play for the other team...... :D
And I doubt there would be much in that game that he would find interesting [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Xen 12-30-2004 08:57 AM

What I suggest is:
</font>
  • KotOR</font>
  • KotoR 2</font>
  • PoP: Warrior within</font>
  • Halo 2</font>

TheGrandSlayer 12-30-2004 09:38 AM

There is only ONE game to rule them all
Halo 2

Hivetyrant 12-30-2004 11:01 AM

lol, I just realised why you will love Fable Dave.....
Hmm, well, lets just say, you dont have to marry a female....
lol, you can dress like one also.... :D

Dave_the_quack 12-30-2004 11:08 AM

NOICE. So, I gather that Fable, Halo 2, KotOR, KotoR 2, PoP: Warrior within, Arx Fatalis and Morrowind are the next instalments in my collection that will surely keep me busy.

Cool. Thanks guys [img]smile.gif[/img]

Edit: finish typing before posting, dave.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Soon, I'll be on Xbox Live just KILLIN' people on Halo2.

Oh, and the only other one I can suggest that hands down must have is Morrowind.

Megabot 12-30-2004 11:47 AM

Q'alooaith 12-30-2004 11:53 AM

Xbox games...

Must have....


Steel battalions, Line of contact, though it's live only so you might want to think about just steel battalions which is one of the best games you can get for the xbox, though you'll run screaming at the price tag I'm affraid.. It's still a great game..


/edit..

Noooooooooo, am I the only person to think drow are not "cool"?

lol, I have wanted this game ever since I saw it...
Is it possible to get it without the cockpit sised controller [img]tongue.gif[/img] ?????

Dave_the_quack 12-30-2004 02:03 PM

What the heck is steel battallions about? Please Explain :D

Hivetyrant 12-30-2004 02:07 PM

Giant steel Robots, kinda like Mechwarrior (I think) only ALOT mor advanced, it costs about $400 AUS (I think) mainly bacuase it comes with its own controller which is literally like a compact Plance cockpit [img]tongue.gif[/img]

EDIT: woot!! I found a pic

Dave_the_quack 12-30-2004 02:17 PM

Holy Cripes. I am NOT buying a game that costs more than the console itself. Thats terrible marketing! *shudders thinking he may have learnt something from university*

Does anyone want to buy me any of the games mentioned here? C'mon... I'm worth it. Yeah. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Hivetyrant 12-30-2004 02:21 PM

lol, I might buy you Dead or Alive: Beach volleyball [img]tongue.gif[/img]
I suppose you could admire the girls...uhhh.. technique????

Do they still have stock oever there? these sorts of games are hot items which sell off very fast! :D

T-D-C 12-30-2004 08:29 PM

Gotham City racing is a good racing game if you are into it.

Tony Hawk Undergound is great as well. Also ask and you shall receive.

Moving to Misc Games!

Abrakadabra!

Rikard T'Aranaxz 12-30-2004 09:14 PM

Prince of Persia is pure class... at least it is on the PC ;)

LOL! Yeah, by accident, I clicked near a female, and it clicked on a man, and he then had a heart over his head. I was like WHAT THE HELL??? :D Then I did a sneer at him, and an evil laugh to scare him away hehehe.. I've hooked up with like 10 chic's so far. Own a home, and display all my rewards. It's cool!

I totally love the autumn leaves and forest, it's like a fantasy land. great art and atmosphere.

Oh yeah, on XBOX, X-Men Legends is cool--it's in 740p (High Def TV signal) and looks so crisp. WOW! It uses the Balders Gate DA Engine I believe, and I like it.

Coming out on the PS2 in Feb is the sequel to Champions of Norrath (uses the Baldurs Gate DA Engine too--just hugely updated) and should be amazing too--has TONS more multiplayer options too--voice over IP so you can chat while playing.

Prince of Persia is AMAZING! This second one's lighting and puzzles are freaking jaw dropping! I am in love with this game. 10 stars. And BG:DA is also awesome. Yeah, it's not deep RPG, more action, but it's really fun, when ye just want to sit down, and bash some baddies.

Sythe 01-01-2005 03:00 AM

Halo or Halo 2 I suggest the first one first.

Having either of the games is the Xbox law! You are not considered a true Xbox gamer until you have played either of these!

And I almost forgot i welcome you! Another iniate to join our ranks! You are now one of the millions that are part of the XBOX nation! Treat your holy relic with care! Constantly clean its surface! Don't ever toss it! Don't mod it! Only heretics do that!

I already have Halo... came with the console (along with topspin... *feigns excitement* [img]smile.gif[/img]

Haha, thanks for the welcome Sythe. I won't need to clean the surface... cos it will NEVER GET DIRRRTAY. Love the heretics line too... made me laugh out loud heh.

Cheers for all the tips, boys and girls. :D

Mr_Krift 01-08-2005 09:55 AM

Whats with the constant bashing on top spin? I LOVED topspin. KOTOR 1 and 2 are musts for RPG fans. If your into sports type games... ESPN nfl 2k5 is awsome along with NFL street 2((i didnt think it would be good...its adictive))

Psi-Ops:The Mindgate Conspiracy(NO ONE MENTIONED THIS! THIS GAME IS CLASSIC)
KOTOR 2: The Sith Lords (Get the 1st for PC if possible)
Halo 1(I wanst as big a fan of #2 as I was #1)

Must have game for Xbox? NINJA GAIDEN!

Ninja Gaiden is my favorite console game ever! It's THAT good! I must warn you, it is HARD... very hard. But when you complete it you feel totally satisfied. I have played through the game like 6 times on different difficulties, and if you have xbox live you can download 2 free add-ons. One is a revamped version of the game with brand-new very hard monsters as well as a sweet new weapon; and the second download is sort of like a boss survival mode (only super hard).

I could seriously gush about how great this game is. I am such a fanboy of it.

You'll love it... as long as you don't lose your temper easily and have quick reflexes.

-Relic

Ninja Gaiden returns to the days when console games were HARD... Remember the originals on the NES. Man that series was sweet.
