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.

Re: I'm about to buy an XBOX.....
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  ... and of course Return to Castle Wolfenstein...
...and you won't beat Grand Theft Auto to waste the weekends away

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.

Simpsons Hit 'N' Run isn't too bad, but gets a bit repetitive.
Timesplitters is, in my opinion, utter crap 
You can get the excellent Halo in the budget range now.
Prince of Persia is a great game, & also cheap.

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! 
Hope there in stock for you now, fingers crossed.
