Bah, you're all talking nonsense. All FPS games pale before the glory that is the System Shock series. :D

Never really got into those myself... I prefer the straight up blast than the thinking mans FPS - they're to slow...

SS2 is good but not as good as Halo.

Halo 0wnz. The two player rawks. One of you takes point and lures out the big predator-esq monster thingy while one of you flanks it and blows the crap out of it. Now THAT is fun. And the Warthog's! I drove one down inside the predator thingies bunker and wasted its ass with the big cannon while my pal launched a few rockets at it.

Trouble is, aside from that ball game with the Sumo on it, Halo is the only thing keeping the X-Box from being trounced by the GameCube and it's delicious DeathStar battles.

Agreed that Halo is the only worthwhile game at present. But what a game! And besides, the GameCube is a dogged by the same problems. Luigi's Mansion what?? :confused:

Besides, everyone knows the best Star Wars games are for the PC. :D

I take it you've not seen...er...Rogue Leader is it? You can see every little greeble in the Deathstar, the explosions look volumetric to me and the overall gameplay is superb. It's like StarTrek Invasion but 100 times better.

Besides, I already destroyed the Death Star in XWA.

me too, but it was the second one :p ( couldn't destroy it in xwing -the first one- w/o cheating :( )
btw, I think the Xbox seems to have many cool games ( Dead or Alive3, Hallo, Munch Odyssey, Wreckless...), and I'm far from being a console fan... If I was to buy a console, it would be the Xbox ( which would mean the console is doomed and Crosoft would do no other console, btw -don't ask- ). The gamecube looks cool, too. the PS2 I see nothing interesting.

Anywa, the systemshock series is not the best, chtikz, foo! The Thief one IS the best :D
SCREW CANON!

Wash: This landing's gonna get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: *shrug* "Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die"?
Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

That he is.  TIE Fighter, XWA, JKII...though I must say, I'm very eagerly looking forward to Bounty Hunter.  Playing as Jango Fett is going to kick some incredible ass!

DX2 and UT2 = A1-SUPAR! :lol:

No, seriously. ;)

Halo is incredible for a console shooter, IMO. Shame there's no bots, or I'd still be playing it now, but it's excellent for multiplayer.


I agree there; in fact, the game I am really, really looking forward to, more than any game out there, is DX2. Unfortunately, that will not be released anytime soon. U2 and UT2 are kind of tied for second place. ;)

As for the subject matter, Halo, I have not gotten a chance to try it yet, but I will see what reviews say after the computer version is out. ;)

I think Halo will require a card with that T&L jazz...

  • huh?.. Who?.. hey you kids, git off me lawn!
Vaporware red5, as for halo, the only reason many of my posts are few and far between is because of that, the gamecube's good and all but it will probably end up as territory for the younger generation inundated with pokemon products.

oh yeah, some people probably heard this, but redfaction2's been officially announced.

he will become docile after that,

Heard it before VBB was closed. Summoner 2 has been announced, too.

 
I have an x-box... Halo is good.... what am i saying... HALO IS A1-SUPAR!!! (Whatever THAT means!!!) but it really did shock me... then i got PGR and DOA3.... i must say the x-box has the best release games on any platform! The PS2 only had Timesplitters to show!

The problem with this is that it is only being developed for consoles, from what I have heard. :p

That's like saying Tony Hawk isn't as good as Black & White. They're completely different games.

Considering how uniformly subpar RF was, I really don't have a problem with this.
