Heh… so my brother got me an Xbox for my birthday this year, back in April, and I’ve been trying in vain to find good games for it. I’m a big fan of Nintendo (I wish I had a Game Cube)… I like series like Zelda and Metroid… Games with more focus on the story than the actual gameplay, where you can immerse yourself in legend in a way. (Okay, Metroid may not fit there, with the legend and all, but it’s still got some some kickass stories.) I don’t like games where all you do is run around shooting people, a la Halo. And I tend to prefer games that are family oriented, i.e. no blatant cursing, half naked girls, blowing people’s heads off, etc.

So far, the only Xbox games I’ve found that I really like are Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Anybody have any suggestions? Maybe lesser known games? I’m not really informed when it comes to games anyway (I hadn’t heard of Crimson Skies until a couple of days ago) so even if there’s something you consider blatantly obvious, it probably wouldn’t hurt to mention it anyway. 😛

Thanks! 🙂

Hifi, Grinch is TOTALLY right with Splinter Cell, but if you get that, i suggest the PC version. That game roxxors.

And yes, it is linear.

You still need to buy ground control 2 [www.groundcontrol2.com](http://www.groundcontrol2.com)

Of course, of course. 😛 I went to the website, it looks awesome, and I’ll download the demo as soon as I get back home this weekend where I don’t have a download limit. _mutters obsenities about the residence download limit_

[size=1][EDIT] Still wondering if I should buy Splinter Cell or rent it… If it’s one of those games that you can really only play once, why shell out $50CDN+ when I can play it for $4?[/size]

Good Replay, I played through the game 2 times on normal and 1 time on hard.

The only reason i stopped playing is because Ubisoft went ape \*\*\*\* and released a patch that messed up my MP.

Oh ya, the first ground control can be gotter FREE and FULL here! YAY! [http://www.fileplanet.com/promotions/groundcontrol/](http://www.fileplanet.com/promotions/groundcontrol/)
