Games for me?

[EM3]

Ok I am looking for suggestion for either new or used games. With my new XBox I have NBA street Vol. 2, Halo, KOTOR, ESPN Football, Glabiator Sword of Vengance. I am looking for suggestions for new or used games. I like fighting games such as Mortal Kombat so is Tao Feng worth it or should I get the last MK or wait and get the new one? Sports games I enjoy like Fight Night 2004 for the PS2 etc. but I don't have it for the XBox To be honest I'm not all that thrilled about KOTOR or squad based tacticle games. I like sports games and shoot first ask questions later type games. Also, I like the compliation titles like Midway classics. Any suggestions? Oh yeah online gaming isn't an issue since I don't have the capacity for it.

Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance is well worth the $17.99 it's selling for these days, but if you aren't looking to play much over the next month, I'd hold off until Deception. And definitely, *definitely* pick up Midway Arcade Treasures Vol. 2 when it comes out in October.

I don't really have any other suggestions. I don't play videogames much. And if you didn't get into KOTOR, then I probably don't even speak your language.

GEt Soul Calibur instead of MK... sorry Frank, but it's the best fighting game since 16-bit... word...

Word indeed for SC.


But if you have XBox Live then i would suggest getting Rainbow Six 3: Black Arrow. Not a huge fan of the single player stuff but online its F'ing Awesome! NHL2K5 is out not and its only $20 (that is if you like Hockey) Project Gotham Racing 2 is an awesome game to get as well. The single player is pretty good but again for the best experience i would suggest getting XBox Live. Crimson Skies is another cool shooting/flying game to check out as its pretty cheap to get now. I would also suggest downloading XB Connect and setting up a net connection to the XBox to set up some online Halo play time. (no XBox Live needed)

I really enjoyed Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Its "platinum" now so you can pick it up for $19.99. Should fit into the "shoot first, ask questions later" category nicely.

Thanks guys keep em coming. Reid thanks also for the suggestions on the Midway Arcade Treasures Vol 2. I grew up on the old school game Pac Man, Galaga, Donkey Kong, Pole Position, Tempest, Space Invaders etc. I will have to check that set out. I know Namco has one out.

Crimson Skies looks good also. I tried it once for about 5 minutes.

Ok and for the record KOTOR is ok but I'm stuck in the beginning. Yeah I know that makes me look stupid. An RPG isn't a bad thing I just need more action and less turn based and micromanagement crap.

Has anyone tried Metal Arms? Or the Nascar Games?

Soul Calibur 2
Kung Fu Chaos (sort of like super smash bros with 70s kung fu theme)
UFC Tapout series
Dead or Alive Ultimate (Sept)
Mortal Kombat Deception (Oct)

Tao Feng is cool in some aspects, but not so hot in others. I'd go with any of the above before it.
