Looking to increase my Xbox collection

I've had an xbox since launch and since then I've only bought like 8 games, Halo 1+2 Ninja Gaiden, Shenmue 2. Soul Calibur 2, Marvel VS Capcom 2, Bloodwake and Mechassault.

Now I've got my tax return (oh boy did I over pay :D ) and now I have a load of cash to blow on games.

I'm looking for games that are challanging and are fun without Xbox live (For some reason I'm unable to connect)

I'm looking to get:

DOA3
GunValkyrie
MechAssault 2
Steel Battalion (Friend is selling with controller and everything for 90$CAD)

any impressions on those?

Any suggestions?

AND FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS HOLY DON'T TURN THIS DAMN THREAD INTO A "So I bought a Gamecube" thread!
 
Metal Arms

Mercenaries

Burnout 3

Kung Fu Chaos (if you have round to play)

Strangers Wrath (if you like oddworld in general)
 
Deathrow!! , it's very cheap.. and I've been playing it exclusively the last couple of days.. great fun. Hope it will get a sequel (very unlikely though..)

if you like racing games: Rallisport Challenge 2, MotoGp 2 and PGR 2 are great.
 
Panzer Dragoon Orta

Steel Battalion - get
Gunvalkyrie - get if you have the patience, the controls have a major learning curve.

1st Buffy - get
Enclave - get
Thief - get
Otogi I - get
 
Check out:

Panzer Dragoon Orta
Outrun 2
Knights of the Old Republic
Riddick
Thief Deadly Shadows
Armed & Dangerous
 
DOA3 is fun and priced cheap, but DOA Ultimate is the better game.


I'd also recommend Street Fighter Anniversary Collection (hits next week) and Metal Slug 3. Also Otogi 1/2, Fatal Frame 1/2 OutRun 2 and Panzer Dragoon Orta.

Jet Set Radio Future

I've never seen the game outside of a Xbox game bundle, is it hard to find? I loved the dreamcast version.

As for Mercenaries is there a difference between the Xbox version and PS2 version?


Panzer Dragoon Orta is it a short game? I used to play the Saturn Panzer Dragoon and it was very short (from what I remember)
 
Games I picked up the last 2 months and have enjoyed allot.

Fable
BattleStar Galactica
Malice,its short..about 5-7 hours,for me anyways. But none the less a fun platformer with some nice eye candy visuals to go along with the ride.

Most are cheap except Fable, which still sells for $30-45 depending on where you look. I bought mine for30 and its been well worth it. But anyway wait abit more and it should be 20 dollars soon. Its nearing 1,000,000 sold,so it'll be a GH game so waiting abit more can't hurt.
 
You need Panzer Dragoon Orta-- that one isn't debatable. DOA3 is a personal favorite 3D fighter of mine, but that falls under the love/hate category. Otogi 1 and 2 are nice action/adventure games (Otogi 2 is a big improvement in almost every category). Jet Set Radio Future doesn't hold a candle to the original gameplay wise, but it's a fun game from start to finish-- VERY nice graphics and music. GunValkyrie is an acquired taste that 90% of people hate-- you probably won't enjoy it until you're very, very good at it. I recommend at least trying it out.
 
KOTOR
Morrowind (only if you'd rather play it on your XBox, the PC version is superior.)
Fable

I just noticed that they all fall into the RPG category
 
At TRU this week all $20 Xbox games are buy 2 for $30, so there you go.

That'll help increase your library :lol
 
Kingdom Under Fire is like 19.99CAD used, I'm looking for a good copy ( my philips drive is picky on scratched disks) is anyone here selling theirs?

I'm looking to buy Panzer Dragoon but my local game shops are all sold out and I hate the crappy platinum covers.
