AMPED - This is a fun game if you like snowboarding games, but if you don't like these kind of games then I don't recommend picking this one up. Graphics are good; sound is not that great and even though I heard you could play your own music on it you can't.

Overall I give it a 7.0/10

Air Force: Delta Storm - The controls are kind of hard to get used to and this game is hard and not that good. Good graphics, excellent sound, but no multiplayer modes.

Overall I give this game a 6.5/10

Dark Summit - This game is a fun snowboarding/adventure title, but it's not the kind of game you will get hooked on. Bad graphics, not that good on sound,

Overall I give this game a 5.5/10

Hunter: The Reckoning - If you like an all shoot them up type game this game is for you. But the only bad parts about it are when there's too much blood some of it goes away. There is good multiplayer in it you could play it with up to 4 people but it does get kind of confusing when its with 4 people. Good sound and graphics.

Overall I give this game a 8.5/10

Halo - This is an excellent game hands-down you could link up to 4 Xboxes together and have 16 people play multiplayer. I do recommend picking this one up, co-op is fun and there's so much stuff you could do on it. Plus you could drive around in a jeep, which is so fun. And once you get this game you will realize why it was chosen to be game of the year. If you can't wait for Halo 2 like me it will be out by Christmas. Good graphics, excellent sound, you will find yourself playing it over again.

Overall I give this game a 10/10

The future of the Xbox looks very promising with games like Conflict: Desert Storm, The Matrix, WWE Raw 2, Halo 2, Star Wars: Knights of the old Republic, and Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

Future and Present Games On Xbox

I have quite a few favorite video games.  One of my favorites is "Soldier of Fortune". I love this game because it's a first person battle game and you get to shoot people. It is very bloody and gory. This is for a computer.  I do not recommend this game to little kids because of the violence.  This game is so gory that when you shoot a guys leg or arm off, you can actually see the flesh of the leg or arm stretch apart, you can also blow someone's head up.

Another favorite is Tony Hawk 3, this is a skateboarding game and it has a lot of improved graphics since versions 1 and 2.  It is pretty much like real-life skateboarding.  You can skate in the street and you can run into people.  Someone can also push you.  You also can be in Los Angeles in the game and you can cause earthquakes.  I will tell you the types of levels there are, just because I really got nothing else to say about this game.  The levels are Tokyo, a cruise ship, Canada, and other various places, this game is for all kinds of systems, but I am borrowing my friend's Gamecube, along with this game. 

Another game I like is "Dead or Alive 3".  I really think this game is awesome.  I like the switch character mode thing in tag team mode.  I also like the parts of it when you can smash someone through the glass and both you and the enemy fall into another part of the level.  This game is really highly detailed, best of all, I don't think there are any glitches in the game.  If you don't like the clothes that the characters wear, there is a patch you can get on some kind of demo disk. I don't know what it is, but you can get more clothes on a certain demo disk and you get more clothes because it downloads from the demo disk into the system. 

So when you play the game, there will be more clothes. This game is for Xbox, I played it at my friend's house before, and it rocks. I'm James Bogdanski, telling you my favorite video games.
