Finally got the XBOX, and I couldn't be more excited. I'm one of those gamers who wants it all.

That being said I've now got a SNES (with both Super Bomberman 1 & 2 and a multi-tap of course - joy!), a Dreamcast, a PS2 and a Gamecube.

So, after sending so much coin on the systems themselves, I have to try and determine which XBOX games to spend my hard earned money on. Here's the short list.

Halo (of course, this is one of the main reasons I got the XBOX)
Ghost Recon
Mech Assault
NHL 2K3
Panzer Dragoon Orta

and eventually...
Halo 2
Unreal 2
and Doom III

It's always a struggle to determine which games to get for what format. That is games that will be releaseed on XBOX and PC.

I've got a pretty good set-up for PC (as follows...)
AMD XP 1800+ Processor (equivolent to approx., 1.5 GHZ)
Abit, KR7A motherboard
21" Samsung monitor
Creative 5.1 surround speakers
SoundBlaster Audigy Gamer sound card
ATI Radeon 8500 128MB DDR video card
256 MB DDR Ram (soon upgrading to 512)
CDRW and a DVD Drive
80 GB HD

Any feedback would be appreciated. To make it easy, what games do you own for XBOX and why did you choose those titles?

Thanks for the feedback in advance.

Congratulations. The Xbox is an awesome system.

I had Mech Assault and the graphics and gameplay are superb. I traded it in for Sega's NHL 2K3. The (NHL 2K3) graphics, sadly are PS1, but the puck and player physics are A+. The AI is great too. I would say rent NHL 2K3 first. As for Ghost recon I heard it was great.

I have:

Madden 2003-Great game and excellent graphics but no online play.

FIFA 2003-Great graphics and gameplay but you can't create a team or yourself as a player.

NHL 2K3-which I mentioned above.

Legends Of Wrestling I-On sale for under $25 and not a bad game for that price.

I own:

Halo
Dead or Alive 3
Morrowind
Shenmue 2
The Thing
Genma Onimusha
MechAssault
Madden 2002

Im big on multiplayer and mature RPGs and low on kiddy games.. so the XBOX is right up my alley. Its a good fusion of the best of the PC with the comfort of a console.

Dead or Alive 3, Madden and Halo keep me and my friends entertained for hours. And the rest keep me entertained in a single player experience because they offer a large variety of gaming experiences.

The graphics are great if it was an Atari Game. And the zoom in doesn't really zoom in enough. AI and player and puck physics are awesome. The perfect hockey game would be EA's graphics and Sega's everything else.

No anything EA (with a few exceptions) is crap. It would be great if it was NHL Hitz with a realistic gameplay mode and online capabilities.

The first thing you should do before buying any games is buy the M$ 2 year warranty. Thats all Im going to say.
