    Amped: Freestyle Snowboarding
    Blood Wake - Preowned
    Conflict: Desert Storm - Preowned
    Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge
    Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind Game of the Year Edition
    Fable

    Gun Valkyrie - Preowned
    Halo 2

    First off, I Halo 2 is not out yet. I am not sure about Fable.

    Of those remaining I like Crimson Skies, Voodoo Vince (fun platformer), Conflict Desert Storm II (squad based fps) and Gun Valkyrie.

    Voodoo Vince Rules! Very Underrated. I've heard that Knights of the old republic is good, but I've never played it. Fable looks cool, but it doesn't
    come out till june. Also, Ninja Gaiden is a great but crazy hard game. However, Heed these words:

    BUY PANZER DRAGOON ORTA!!!!!!!!!!

    It's only $20 Brand new, and it is easliy the best to own an xbox. At least, I think it is.

    If I had $200 to spend on XBox games right now, here's what I'd get (I know these aren't all on your list):

    Star Wars: KOTOR
    Crimson Skies
    Burnout 2: Developer's Cut
    NBA Street Vol. 2
    Amped (or Amped 2)

    That should come up to $160-$190 (depending on which Amped you'd get), and many hours of gaming goodness

    Fuzion Frenzy's awful. Don't waste your money.

    I bought Gun Valkyrie for my brother, who owns an XBOX, for Christmas. It won him over. I haven't played it myself, but from what I've seen, it looks pretty fun.

    hey I kind of liked the Fuzion Frenzy demo in my copy of Halo. And also for games like Fable or Halo2, I'm thinking of saving that money up for those games...

    Don't have an xbox, but just a general rule for me, if I had $200 to buy current gen games, I would MUCH rather get 10 $20 games that you know are great, than risk buying 4-5 $50 games. Twice the gaming for the same amount of money is ALWAYS a plus.

    Gun Valkyrie is absolutely fantastic. Old school gaming on a modern system. Very cool story premise.

    Yeah I re-did my list and chose a couple:

    Rallisport
    Blinx
    Morrowind
    Jurrasic Park:Operation Genesis
    Amped
    Project gotham racing
    Fuzion Frenzy
    MechAssault
    Blood Wake
    Oddworld
    KOTOR
    Fable

    I'll have some more money saved up in time for my b-day. Jurrasic Park is an AWESOME sim. I played it for like 3 hours today at someone elses house.

    I would spend the money on a modchip/120 HD and have all the Neo Geo/NES/Genesis/SNES/GBA roms and any other Xbox games I can put in on there. Believe me the investment is worth it...

    BUT... if you wanna really buy some games... I suggest:

    Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
    Ninja Gaiden
    Shenmue II
    Panzer Dragoon Orta
    Halo
    - MarkMan

    I haven't been in one for a while, but for the longest time, Gamestop was selling the JSRF / Sega GT dual pack for $4 used...is this still the case...because those are 2 very good games that every XBox owner should try out

    And I like Fuzion Frenzy...

    Dude We have very similar taste,

    Yes Starwars: kotor Great game all round It's fun playing the darkside.

    Jet set radio : Great game if you can find it at the stores still been a while since I seen it.

    Panzer Dragoon orta: another geat game I got mine for 10.00 at Kay Bee

    Ninja Gaiden : Whats up with those Neo Ninjas and the damn cheesy ones with guns, The true nature of the heindenburgs demise is revealed. You must get this.


    Ive always wanted Gun Valkyrie Time to go to circuit city It's a 15.00 bucker there.

    Oh Have you played the kill switch I like this game it's like being in Iraq.



    Thanks
