Hello all!
I just won a Xbox through a radio contest. One of my old roomates had a playstation and I really got into a game called Syphon Filter. That was about two years ago. I was actually bummed when I found out that you can’t play Syphon Filter on Xbox.
So, does anyone know of any games in the Xbox world that is like Syphon Filter? I’ve seen Halo and Splinter Cell and they look close. I liked Syphon Filter because it was an espionage game. I like being sneaky!!
Thanks guys and girls!
Congrats. I’ve got an xbox but I never play it… I’m not a big console guy, I guess I just have it for when I have parties and stuff for entertainment.
thats splinter cell then! halo is the best though, but its just like mass slaughter lol. but fun as all hell. you are a lucky man to win it! i am the man with the plan when it coems to the box! and get XBox live too! but you gotta have cable or dsl.
First, thanks on the congrats - in PHX, there’s a radio station that on Thursdays you have to answer your phone ‘get a life with 103.9 the edge’ and they give you stuff!!
What I find ironic is that the contest is called ‘get a life’ yet they give me something that will keep me in my house for hours…alone. :*(
That’s cool. I know exactly what will happen. I’ll find a cool game, play it for a few weeks, figure out how to beat the game (step by step via cheating/internet hahaha) and then use it as an overpriced DVD player!! Cool…
Mdipi - I have cable and was looking at that on the web a little while ago. Do you just hook up the NIC cable to the modem and watch it go? Or is it a extra service you have to buy?
Well since you probably want to use your computer @ the same time, you’ll need a router or IP addressing box to hand out IPs and negotiate traffic. But basically you just spend 50$ they give you a Microphone and headset and a little chip. Then you go plug in and punch in a credit card number and you are online… Also, if you have a memory chip then you can take ur stuff to a friends house and use it there.
Another cool feature is that you can talk to people you are playing with like in CS and the cOOlest feature is that you can change your voice so you can sound like a hot 18/f from so cali that is tearing up in MechAssault. 
I’m already splitting the line between two computers - might as well add another!!
I saw that voice thing on the xbox website - it was pretty funny, I was laughin at the ‘robot voice’. I’d probably stick to the robot one, instead of the girl. However, I’ll keep that in mind when I’m talking to someone that I think is a woman!! That happened once in Tiajuana…uh…nevermind…(j/k)
wow! good luck! i cant even find a penny on the side of a road. anyways, i prefer ps2, and a new syphon filter is coming out this year for it. if you want a greak xbox espionage game, get splinter cell. i have it for ps2 and it is one of my favorite games.
Cool - looks like Splinter Cell takes the cake!! I agree with Ungle G, I’d perfer winning a PS2 - but beggers can’t be choosers!! And about my luck - don’t worry, I’ve used up the rest of my luck for the year (I hope I’m wrong!!) - Thanks for the advice!
My brother still has a PS2, so I’m gonna have to look out for Syphon Filter 4 (after I play the third…:P)
HALO may not be what you are looking for exactly,
but it is a great game, friends and I have spent many hours in the multiplayer mode…I love it.
The actual single player game, is pretty challenging. I don’t necessarily like it; but it is fun. I don’t like it because I’m a multiplayer type of gamer.
Wow! You actually won an Xbox?! Lucky you!! I wish I won one! It’s not that I don’t want to buy one, but I’m afraid I won’t play enough with it.
Anyway, congrats! 
x-box - comfortably houses a family of 4.
When the next generation console comes out, homeless people can sleep in the discarded carcasses of abandoned x-boxes. (and thats just the control pad)
Sorry! Im not a fan of the x-box. I appreciate its an impressive bit of console hardware, but there is something about it i really don’t like. I cannot get on with it at all.

I reckon you just don’t like that it’s by Microsoft

Actually, i love Win xp. not all Micro$oft is bad. Although i hate Bill Gates being so rich. I dont think he deserves it, he was just lucky.
Is it the flashy intro that says “look at us, we’re so big and powerful”
???
sigh
intro isn’t that flashy. but that isn’t it.
I guess its just a number of little niggly things.
[list][]The pads are uncomfortable to hold for a few reasons:
They are not very ergonomic. Bill gates must have some strange shaped hands if they are!
The buttons feel uncomfortable and not all that nice to press
The shoulder buttons are too stiff
[]Most of the games I’ve played on the console feel like there is somthing ‘missing’. Even the almighty Halo, which is a VERY good game, feels like it needs a little extra.
[]It is big and ugly, although i guess looks ain’t everything
[]To play DVD’s you need to purchase the official remote. This annoys me because it shows that the x-box already has the ability to play dvds without being modded, just you cant becuase the designers are idiots. After buying a console I dont expect to pay extra for features that are already inherent within the console.
[] I JUST DONT LIKE IT! [/list]
I’ve got an XBox, and I have to say I prefer the PS2… Halo and Splinter Cell are good, I’ve got both of them, plus Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance which I’m God at. 
Those are the only three games that I have for it. I’ve had to buy a smaller controller too, as the original one was too big for my little hands. 
That said, this is microsofts first attempt at the console market, and they havn’t done too bad a job. I think its cute the way that the x-box is all PC components in a black case.
Anyway, Maybe their next console will be better, afterall they have got the money for it and now they have ‘experimented’ with a real console they should be able to iron out some of the problems people have had.
I love all my consoles equally
Currently hooked up in my living room:
Snes, Genesis, N64, Xbox, Ps2, Gamecube…
That said The contollers for xbox are perfect for me. I have big hands and it just feels right.
The new s contollers were built for little tiny jap hands. (no offence to the little tiny jap’s here…you know I luv ya)
But the reason you need to buy the remote and eye are pretty cool. The xbox is not regioned for DVD playback. So I could take it over to japan and for the first time I run a dvd on it, it records the reigon to the hard drive and only will play dvd’s from that region.
all in all. I love my xbox.
I read yesterday that Microsoft looses about $75 for every xbox sold.
