Not really all that shocking considering it's the most powerful system out there, besides the PC.

Wow! Now there are 2 Xbox only games worth owning!
...wow... :p
i cant wait for halo 2, looks much more fun than hl2
AJ_23: haha, exactly. So you mean we might get some new games acutally WORTH buying for the xbox?? I've had the system since it's release and only have 2 games. Silent Hill 2 and Halo2. The rest are total renters.
You mean you didn't buy Blood Wake for $49.99?! Or the platinum seller, Gotham Racing? Doesn't a game have to actually sell before it goes platinum... i would like to see some proof that people actually bought those 'platinum selling' games in the first place.

Notice most of those games were prolly the ones that were bundled with the Xbox system. Did they really sell those games to become platinum? Well....yes and no. However, Project Gotham is a great game.

Do I smell jealousy? , I think you would kiss a bums shitty ass morning day and night just to get a chance to work at bungie ;) so dont be cocky.

I am just a fan of great games...
lol I am not jealous at all, Simply a mac addict stuck in a pc world thats all.
3D is not my primary thing anyway, my goals with 3D are just to make cool pictures. Not to get hired for Halo 2.
I was being sarcastic

if only those systems had more ram goddamnit.
and no, there is no more "GAMECUBE POWER!!!".... i once gave the cube a chance, went to e3, now, funcoland has my cube, and i have vice city and splinter cell, far better games than the cube will ever have.
xbox had a pretty big booth, made me happy to be under their umbrella.
....i would have thought the DOA fashion show should have gotten best in show.... :drool:

Far better?

And Vice City isn't out on the Xbox...
Are you sure you bought the right machine? :p

eh, got em for pc, guess. i should have mentioned that i was ranting about the lack of great gamecube exclusive titles ;)
i meant like coming out in the next year. twin snakes wasn't impressive at all. mario kart really didn't catch my attention like the old ones, rouge squadron 3 looks like the same thing all over again, f zero has kinda been played out, star fox was a joke... the only thing that i was interested in coming exclusively to gamecube was FF chronicles, that looked like an interesting multiplayer game.

Tony Hawk Underground is for Playstation 2 as well.
And only 2 of the Xbox games are exclusive to the system.

I know this is a little off topic, but nominating Unreal Tournament 2004 for best action game? Now dont get me wrong, I love Unreal, cant get enough of it. But 2004 is no more than a repackaged 2003, with some addons that you can download for free. I mean, should these nominations be reserved for new games that are released for E3. Just my opinion though.:shrug:

Didnt they even say that during thrie press conference? Nothing can ruin a great game faster than copying another great game. Unreal needs some inovation to stay with Halo2, HL2 and such, but they need inovation not copying. People (or maybe just me)are getting board with frag fests, and from what I have read Unreal II isnt cutting the mustard. I guess i will get off my soap box now. I just cant wait to get into the industry so I can really be part of this. Later
