That's kinda unlikely, considering that since the 360 launched (and this is in no way a flamebait) every console, including GameCube, sold considerably more than the Xbox - even with the 360's staggered launch.  Don't count on production even past the end of '06 based on the way things are looking now.  Besides, no console really lives that long past it's death anyways, with the exception of the PlayStation, which is understandable considering its sold more than 100 000 000 copies.

He means there are more boards than just the Xbox board.  Go to OT or GGD for questions like what the other user asked and not here.

My XboxLive Account expired like 2 weeks ago so I no longer have that.  I have system link but none of my friends have this game to system link with them.  Isn't it 4 player split screen?

Whats going on. i need a decent game to keep me busy for a while. i am more into RPGs, sports, shooters whatever. It is just there are no good RPGs games out there for XBOX that i have found, sport games get boring after a while. Now halo is only good playing through system link.. Let me know if there are any games out there new or old that require more then a few hours to beat

I don't know where you've been looking but there are plenty of great RPG's out there for the Xbox. I recommend starting with the KOTOR's. If you want something more hardcore go with Morrowind. For a more casual game try Jade Empire or Fable.

[QUOTE="Lameloide"] Hi. I have 2 controllers, so I would like to know what good 2 player games are for xbox?
Also, are there any good "hot-seat" party games, for when we are more than 2?



I haven't played this game with a bunch of people, but I think Worms 4 Mayhem is hot seat, I know worms armagedone for pc can play with a bunch of people. So worms 4 for the xbox, but I totally recomend Worms Armagedone for pc, its one of the best games ever and it is pretty cheap, plus if you have a crap computer it should still run.

No, don't add that piece of crap to the list! Metal Gear solids view sucks, you can't look around without going into FP view. Splinter cell is a million times better then MGS.

kthxbye

MGS is one of the greatest francises ever, Kojima is one of the most well known figures in the gaming industry.

By the way here at GS MGS is rated higher than SC and the same can be said for many sites across the internet.

True, but MGS has always been a franchise for the Playstation and Sons of Liberty is probably the worst of the three.  While I agree with you that MGS is a fantastic series, stealth gaming on the Xbox is better represented by the Splinter Cell franchise.  If the original MGS or Snake Eater were available on the Xbox I would probably add them to the list, but not Sons of Liberty.

Sons of Liberty was actually probably my favorite of the series and the highest rated one all over for the most part.

Look. I bought Metal Gear for the NES somewhere around 20 years ago. That game was freakin awesome. When I heard about Metal Gear Solid for PS, I bought it the day of release. When the demo for MGS Sons of Liberty was out, bought Zone of Enders and a PS2 just for the demo ( I did get the actual game later). MGS 3 is also on my shelf. And when the PS3 MGS arrives, I'll be playing it too. Any Metal Gear for any system is great. Splinter cell is good, too, but c'mon, no Big Boss? No Revolver Ocelot? No giant mech thingie? This series has lasted for 20 years. What other game would bring a grown man to crawl around his office in an upside down box with eyeholes? If you're just now getting around to getting an Xbox, less than $20 for MGS Sons of Liberty is probably the best value you'll get.

Yeah, thats one reason why I like Splinter Cell better (more realistic). Its not all big boss battles that are unrealistic. I very much enjoyed Metal Gear solid 1 and have beaten it twice but when I first started MGS2 I was so bored (maybe its because I was used to splinter cell)

sw battlefront 2

mariozelda15

That game was almost the same as the first one, just a few more things to do. The rest of the things were already in the first Battlefront. The Jedi character wasn't even done well enough to have fun with in multiplayer.

mechassault 2

mariozelda15

Same thing, it was nothing compared to the first Mech Assault. Mechassault 2 didn't feel like you were running around and actually doing something. It was more like go from point a to b without dying. The body suit was too cheap and could easily take over any mech.

pop two thrones

mariozelda15

I'm getting bored of saying this already. In general, it didn't give the same feel as the first Prince of Persia.

The best in those three series are PoP1, Starwars Battlefront 1, and Mechassault 1. Consider those if they're not already on the list.

Related/Off topic... (a recommendation of sorts) I don't want the Xbox360 email newsletter, nor do I care to hear about the 360 in the Xbox email newsletter. Is there a way to only get Xbox news? I realize it's dying, and when it is completely dead, then I won't want the Xbox newsletter either, but I don't have a 360, I'm not getting a 360 (at least for a long time), so I don't want the two newsletters mixed... They don't mix the PS1 and PS2 and PSP newsletters, so why should the Xboxes, Xboxs, Xboxi... whatever... be mixed? They shouldn't. So, my recommendation is to Gamespot, stop sending me 360 news with my Xbox news.

Should I get Xmen Legends 2? I heard that you can't pick up people with flyers this time and some of the powerhouses were weakened. I heard there are no sidequests either. Is it still worth getting or should I get X-men Legends 1? I don't have Xbox Live either.taiwanesealn

Get Them both. They are both pretty good and addicting as hell.

[QUOTE="taiwanesealn"]Should I get Xmen Legends 2? I heard that you can't pick up people with flyers this time and some of the powerhouses were weakened. I heard there are no sidequests either. Is it still worth getting or should I get X-men Legends 1? I don't have Xbox Live either.englentine

Get Them both. They are both pretty good and addicting as hell.

Woah I thought no one would ever get to my question. Thanks for responding!
