I'm not exactly a hard core gamer, mainly because I don't have the time. I haven't bought a PC game since I bought my Xbox, one reason being that my old machine won't run the newer games and my crappy 'net connection isn't fast enough to let me get into online gaming.

Since I bought my Xbox, I've I traded in every game I've bought except Splinter Cell, Jedi Outcast, and Enter the Matrix. And I'm going to trade in Enter the Matrix as soon as I beat it on hard mode. Since that will be soon, I'm trying to decide what game to buy next.

I'm considering Halo, Morrowwind (is that the right name), Buffy tvs, the chick-vampire game--Darkryne or something like that.

I've also thought about waiting until Fable comes out and getting that. Any gamers out there have any suggestions?

Halo is super fun multi-player for a console game

Halo and Splinter Cell are MUSTS.

I'm a PS 2 owner, but by all accounts Halo is amazing, and Halo 2 is on its way.

Also, I really like the look of that new Star Wars RPG, Knights of the Old Republic. Looks like somebody finally did what should have been done a loooong time ago with the SW universe ...

I had heard the Halo was incredible. I guess I'll have to get that one no matter what.

I had forgotten about SW:KoOR. I'll probably buy that one just b/c I'm a SW nerd and wait for the reviews on Fable. From the look of everything, Fable is supposed to revolutionize RPG's. But Brute Force was supposed to be great too, but player reviews have been mediocre.

I have to agree that Halo is a must buy.

You also might want to look into the recently released Brute Force. It's getting some pretty good reviews.

(and I was a programmer on it *shameless plug*

Morrowind (just the one "w") is an awesomely huge game. The sound and graphics are truly amazing, the story and depth of background is great. Is it very replayable (hundreds of quests). The only downside, is that it's a bit too easy to beat, once you figure out a few juicy (and totally legit) items you can have made. However, it still took me over 100 hours of game time to beat the main story and complete maybe 1/3 of the quests...

I agree. I was addicted to Morrowind for about 4 months. But after a while my character was unstoppable so I never finished the game. But still, it's the best game I've ever played and well worth the money.

Anyone here ever play Medal of Honor on Xbox? I'm considering buying a used copy of it.

I played it, it was decent. Was able to beat it in the time I had it rented.

Morrowind is great, and you can pick it up for pretty cheap since they re-released it (or at least you can around here). I must have Fable.
