  • I never thought I'd be saying this, but the Xbox is quickly becoming my favorite system of this generation.

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>...cuz no one else liked it. Most people get 'seriously' into Xbox after they start using Live! (which rocks, imo)

Anyway, I agree...but until the Box gets more RPGs (and maybe a MMORPG) it'll still have a serious flaw that keeps many people away :/

Morrowind is pretty good, but one choice is pretty damn lame.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I don't think I can make that same statement, but I have so far very much enjoyed JSRF, PD Orta, KOTOR, and Crimson Skies. Soon will play BG&E and Ninja Gaiden, so s'all good.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt "Cooper Black"; text-align: left; '>I could see sports games on LIVE being fun, but as far as FPS's... there is no controller in the world that will be as good as a keyboard and mouselook. What else does LIVE offer?</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I know what you mean.

Live offers quite a bit: sports, racing, fps, fighting and, soon, rpgs.

You've tried Crimson Skies online I assume. I liked that. Games like CS (and Mech Assault) are really suited to console play, and I can't wait till they get a little more complex.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>It's been the most played this year for me, I picked up some cheaper games for it (I-Ninja rules). 'Cube is still the system of choice with friends,still, just better multi games. But all my systems get used regularly, they're all good</div>
