I'm about to buy an XBOX.....
 

From Game, a crystal one, with 2 games and extra controller. However, the games have to be budget (19.99) ones... I think I want Simpsons Hit N Run and Timesplitters, but can anyone recommend a game that's 19.99 and a bargain?
Cheers!
Simon

BTW I'm going to ask game for an official second controller, not their crappy one.. hope they'll do a deal for me.

HALO that is all there is to say.

HMV are doing a crystal xbox for £99 and one game for £10, not a budget ;)

This is Trafford Centre, Manchester :)


It's hard to recommend games when we don't know your genre! What sort of games have you played before? Guns!, fighting, strategy, racing, role playing etc...

I like most things except fighting and role playing (rpg).... I like and recommend Halo, Halo2 (out next month, best get your skates on and complete the first one!...well worth it...), Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six, Fifa 2005, Colin McCrae 2005.....on budget you can pick up Rallisport 1 or Colin McCrae 2004 ;) Rallisport 2 is also good but buy Colin McCrae 2005...

Project Gotham 2 is a top buy, not the first one. Crimson Skies, Splinter Cell, Counterstrike :erm:... and of course Return to Castle Wolfenstein...

...and you won't beat Grand Theft Auto to waste the weekends away ;)

add to that prince of Persia is also good.

Re: I'm about to buy an XBOX.....
 

Check out the preowned selection - we have a local 'swap-shop' where I have got things like Lord of the Rings for £15 and the original Splinter Cell for £8 - much better value than new and just as good quality.

If your looking for kids games avoid the Lego Bionicle games and I can recommend Ty the Tasmanian Tiger or Crash Bandicoot for good clean family fun.

HTH

I might get Top Spin and Links 2004... they look good and are both 19.99 in Game... will wait and see what they offer me though!

Re: I'm about to buy an XBOX.....
 

yes Top Spin and Links 2004 are definitely recommended.

Re: I'm about to buy an XBOX.....
 

Simpsons Hit 'N' Run isn't too bad, but gets a bit repetitive.


Timesplitters is, in my opinion, utter crap :td:

You can get the excellent Halo in the budget range now.

Prince of Persia is a great game, & also cheap.

Re: I'm about to buy an XBOX.....
 

Might be worth your while phoning first M8, last week in GAME at Ellesmere Port they had no Xbox's at all for sale - all sold out! :Yikes:

Hope there in stock for you now, fingers crossed. :)

Re: I'm about to buy an XBOX.....
 

Uh oh... I'm going in to Liverpool tomorrow so hopefully they'll have some there...

Re: I'm about to buy an XBOX.....
 

Cool, keep us posted on how you get on. :)

Re: I'm about to buy an XBOX.....
 

Woolies are doing Xbox's for £99 with Fifa 2005 free, and this offer also works on the new crystal xbox...

Re: I'm about to buy an XBOX.....
 

Hmm might have a look at that.. cheers Tijer

Re: I'm about to buy an XBOX.....
 

Finally got a crystal xbox with Outrun 2 for 99 from Game. They price matched Virgin's offer. Not set it up yet though!

Re: I'm about to buy an XBOX.....
 

Excellent!

:)

Halo Nuff said,

Rainbow 6 3 , black arrow for £12.99 at Amazon, buy it.

Re: I'm about to buy an XBOX.....
 

Yep, just need an extra controller, xbox live kit, dvd kit.... now!

Re: I'm about to buy an XBOX.....
 

Do they do the DVD kit to match the cyrstal box? I'm not sure they do.

Re: I'm about to buy an XBOX.....
 

Just aswell they don't.... you'd NEVER find the remote control ! LOL :D
