Games People Play Games People Play is where to discuss personal computer, video game console, and arcade hardware and software - be it RPG, Sim, Strategy, Fighting, Action/Platform, or any other category. Although discussion of modern platforms/software will most likely dominate, discussion of classic videogame/computer hardware and software is always enjoyable, and certainly welcome - ESPECIALLY since there are public domain/shareware emulators of nearly every older computer/console available these days. Here's a taste of what awaits you: Nintendo-vs-Sega-vs-Sony, Console-vs-PC-vs-Mac, Hardware spec sheets/information, Industry news and discussion, Software reviews, IRC conference announcements/Reports, Emulators, Emulators, Emulators! ... and much, much more!

Xbox unfortunately does currently lack a large base of really good games out there that are Xbox exclusive, but every title I've seen run on both systems, always is better on the Xbox. There will be some great titles coming out this year. Xbox loads faster and runs everything more smoothly. Plus, you don't need a memory card. I only buy PS2 exclusives now for PS2, everything else I get Xbox IMHO it's just a better system than Sony.

There are currently a good mix of XBOX games available.

The racing game that comes with purchase of the XBOX is really addictive and well done =)

believe me... ps2 games are looking better at the min whatever u like with games like gta4, MGS2 and tombraider6 out soon. Im a big ps2 fan but i will admit xbox will kick the shit out of it when xbox live comes out. It WILL rock, the fact that the ps2 modem costs nearly as much as an xbox doesnt help it much either. Doom3, Halo2, Splinter Cell, Ghost Recon, all on broadband! u know its gunna b good

Indeed. DOA3 will likely reign as the 3D fighting champ until Soul Calibur 2 hits.

Doom 3 is coming out on PC before XBox and FPS is so better on PC's, I belive the same will come for Halo 2, not sure about Splinter Cell and There is no offical word of GTA4 coming out at all (unless your talking about GTA: Sin City or that other one) nor for XBox, and most likely it will come out for PC also.

HITMAN 2!!!!!
that game kicks ass...i got it for 20 bucks cuz my pothead friend wanted some money!

of course, HALO

SEGA GT 2002
007 NIGHTFIRE
PROJECT GOTHAM RACING-not quite as interesting as gt 2002, but looks more realistic
GENMA ONIMUSHA
METAL GEAR SOLID 2:SUBSTANCE

those are the only games i've played so far (i got my xbox for christmas)
whatever you do, DON'T get Jet Set Radio Future or whatever that heap of shit is! That's got to be the lamest game to give away, they could have used something a little better (like Halo :P)

i got an XBOX. i love playing Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind. Its a game where can can custom your character like a knight or elf shit like that and you can go anywhere and do anything.
your character gets stronger by fight other characters and monsters. the character goes by levels. mine is Level 13 and i go and kill other characters, steal their gold and their weapons.
if any one likes role-playing games get this one.

Halo will be coming out for PC, Same with Metal Gear Solid and its belived to be better then the XBox version, Nightfire is out for nearly every system, Fine you get gothem racing but I dont like racing games^^ and Genma what?

edit: forgot to talk about Hitman 2 is out for PC before XBox and its better on PC by far plus we are going to get a Map Editor released for it very soon so we will have lots of mods and such.
