RF Generation Message Board

Recently i gave in and bought an xbox. I had been waiting for the backwards compatibility to include most of my early wants for the system but no luck so far. The other factor was that the system was a limited edition Mt. dew one that was barely used and i could buy it for less than $100 at work hehe.

Basically i am looking mainly for exclusive titles for the system unless its a multiplatform title that shines on online (will eventually get Live) or offers a better experience than other versions. Otherwise i would rather have it on ps2 or gamecube due to the controllers.

The other rule for the suggested titles are NO Halo and NO Star Wars, I don't like either although Lego star wars is a nifty title.

Heres what i've bought so far:
Dead or Alive Ultimate
Doom 3
Fable: The Lost Chapters
Fuzion Frenzy
Guilty Gear X2: The Midnight Carnival #Reload
Jade Empire: Limited Edition
JSRF: Jet Set Radio Future
Metal Slug 3
Panzer Dragoon ORTA
Shenmue II
SVC Chaos: Capcom vs. SNK
Unreal Championship

Will be getting:
Samurai Shodown V
King of Fighters Neowave

thanks in advance

House of the Dead 3
Mechassault

Others I am forgetting

Fuzion Frenzy  :nod:

I still need to get me an XBOX...

Far Cry: Instincts and Far Cry: Instincts--Evolution (best map editors EVER seen on a console!)
Test Drive: Eve of Destruction
Kingdom Under Fire: the Crusaders
Kingdom Under Fire: Heroes
Dungeons and Dragons: Heroes
Crimson Skies
Top Spin (tennis)

Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic.

Even though he said no Star Wars titles, I feel he would be kicking himself if he did not give this a try. Right now this game is pretty cheap and it has hours upon hours of gaming in it.

Darkwatch
Timesplitters: Future Perfect (very nice map editor)
Ghost Recon 2
Ghost Recon 2: Summit Strike
__________________________
above listed games have great single and live play

Serious Sam
Raze's Hell

ABSOLUTELY! Both Knights 1 and Knights 2 are excellent games!

buy frenheit (uk) indigo profecy(usa)

Try Gladius

It's not just for Xbox but a very enjoyable game!

destroy all humans  fun game and best buy has it new for 19.99

Gunvalkyrie, Shenmue 2, Jet Set Radio Future, and Conker Live and Reloaded.

oh yes i was just going to make a topic about this.  i would reccomend the only 2 games i have (morrwind, i here be sure that it is game of the year edition, the one i have.) and mechassault

thanks for the replies, although some games were listed as already bought or not an option. or even owned and beaten for other console (destroy all humans , awesome game though).

and about knights, i am very set in my ways, ifi am not interested in the theme, in this case SW, i'm probably not going to get into it at all even after a few hours of play

Your loss on KOTR.


And on Halo. The first one has a pretty good story.

tried halo, was bored with it. and star wars to be honest, i hate the movies with a passion and am tired of hearing about its universe so much i really dont want a part of it hehe.

You could try the first Buffy the Vampire Slayer game...it's VERY cheap now (used for about $5) and is alot of fun, IMO.  Others you could try that I enjoyed are:

XIII
Second Sight
Punisher
D&D Heroes
Crimsom Skies
Blinx

All are under $10 used I think.

Well I finally got an XBOX too... :)

Return to Castle Wolfenstien is great, and one of several great games that can be had for under $5.

Buffy is pretty fun.  I just bought it  a few weeks ago, and I played it for a couple minutes and it seemed pretty cool.  I don't know how an extended play session would work out, but for $5 it's worth it.

not a bad price at all

picked up a few games today. i had been signing out games at work for the past week to get an idea of whats good for it as well. tried stubbs the zombie i'll wait for that to get cheaper. i tried call of cthulhu, fell in love with it early on. tried serious sam, its friggin awesome. and tried return to castle wolfenstien, i am on the fence about.

but todays purchases were call of cthulhu, serious sam, samuria shodown v, KoF neowave. i am please with all of them

If you're a sega fan, try
Dead or Alive Ultimate
Gun Valkyrie
Jet Set Radio Future
Shenmue II

else: for shooters
Halo may be overrated, but its still quite fun.  At only $10 dollars its at least worth a try
Unreal Championship

Conkers: Live    =    good dirty humor, but cleaner looking than the n64 version

I just got Doom 3: C.E. and have had fun playing the original DOOM.  I only played Doom 3 about 20 minutes before I got killed, and I saved at about the 10 minute mark...grrr.  The game seems rather hard to me, and it's on the easy setting...

I also got K.O.T.O.R and haven't played it yet but I'm a big Star Wars fan so I'm sure I'll love it.

Hey, Kev Im currently on Doom 3 on mthe X-box. Can't say Im struggling too much though, Im on medium and seem to be plowing through it. I just keep doing the PC gamer style and quick save every couple of minutes.

Ya, I don't play PC games so I'm not used to having to save a lot and I forgot then died...heh.  I've only played it about 20 minutes though.  I guess I was just surprised that I died so fast because I'm rather good at the original Doom's...There seems to be quite a lack of ammunition and health even in the first level...

I think it is pretty similar to the original Doom it's a lot more linear though. You'll get the hang of it once you've done the first Mars level everything kinda falls in to place. I am enjoying it, using the PDA's gets boring as hell though.

definetly the halo games.

I got Halo 2 C.E. as well, and as well have only played it about 20 minutes...lol  I have so many damn games now I just cannot sit down with one for any period of time.  It's rather frustrating actually.  I'm going to try to not buy any more games for as long as possible, but I kinda doubt it will work for long...Especially since I just got kicked off the first page of the collections list AGAIN!!! lol  And I have almost 600 games!
