Just wondering if anybody has an xbox..and xbox live?

 

[Desolas]

I have friends w/ an xbox and xbox live, it looks pretty cool. I'm a PC gamer myself.

Voting wise, I think xbox is better than the PS2 but the PS2 has more support which equals more fun in my opinion. The greatest games have come out for the PS2.

Well if you look, the games on gamecube and PS2 are coming out for the xbox. Hence that xbox has no designated developer and such. Basically gamecube and PS2 make games for xbox also. My list on videogames goes Xbox, Gamecube, PS2. I never had good luck with the ps2.

few gamecube exclusives do I want on my ps2(doubledash, animal crossing, marioparty & monkeyball)

and very few xbox exclusives do I want on my ps2...mechassault for sure, but not sure what else.

plus xbox is missing 1 button on the controller and gamecube is missing 2, especially for games like tricky & EAs "Street" it's hurtful.

IMO first person shooters need a mouse for precision aiming and critical movemenets can't be done without a mouse(like crouching or jumping while firing and circle-strafing -moves like this separate newbies from the pros) so that's I could care less about Halo, and bs like metroid prime only look pretty with little need for control.

My order: PC, PS2, Gamecube(if only for the exclusives), then Xbox

& I know plenty of xboxers will cry for a PS2 after San Andreas comes out.

I am Xbox through and through at this point. Sold my PS2, 14 games, 2 controllers and memory card for 200 bucks to by my xbox and I have never looked back.

I have an Xbox as well as registered for Xbox online. Of course I work for the largest monopoly in the world, so I am a bit biased.

I think that all game consoles pale compared to PC games. This is because with PCs you can easily add equipment to give you a better gaming experience. The next closest thing is Xbox for graphics. I believe that Xbox is the only console that supports HDTV. There's mothing better than playign Halo on a 42" HDTV monitor. I don't think you can say that about PS2 or Nintendo!

That's pretty much why I'm a PC gamer. I really only play FPS, or the occassional racing game. I wish good racing titles came out of the PC though, GT3 or 4 would be really nice, I loved the first one on my PS. Need for Speed Underground is pretty decent for an arcade style racer, but is nothing compared to playing it on the PS2. PC gaming is way more expensive though, you really do get more bang with your buck by buying an Xbox, but it's way more fun to play a game at 1600x1200 resolution on a PC monitor. It just looks pretty.

lol..thats why I left out PC cuz its a given one then.

HALO---- since only xbox has it I will only have an xbox!!!!!!

 

[Desolas]

Well, the PC has HALO and it's much cooler on the PC too.

Deathmatching with Banshees is all kinds of fun.

 

[Johnny]

I have never played any PC games but I'm sure they are cool

My kids have Gamecube (therefore, I have Gamecube ). I've played all three and really like Gamecube the best. I'm not a big gamer by any stretch, but I find Gamecube's controllers to be the most comfortable. Plus, Double Dash rocks....

yeah there is, playing it on my much higher def. 15year old 17" monitor

 

[Macbeth417]

TFC addict. Console FPS (No that's not a type of coral) games just don't cut it for me.

You're not taking into account the 5.1 sound system so loud that it can drown out any wife.

For me it's all about frags, as in "number of kills" per round. I'm more of a PC gamer, rather than the console gamer. Graphics so much better looking on the computer. Currently playing UT2003, 1942, etc etc and other shoot em ups.

Just finished Dungeon Siege Legends of Aranna in Single, great game.

I'm also into Tom Clancy's strategy/army games, such as Ghost Recon. All for the computer.

If anyone wants to, i'm up for some "fraggin" this weekend. Let me know.
