    Looks like a good line up, nothing overly interesting there for my personnal taste though bar Far Cry.

    About Far Cry, is it an Xbox adaption of the PC game or a stand alone game following the same story but a different version of the game?

    Kinda like Call of Duty maybe? Same name, different game....

    Definitely agree the xbox is getting a few class titles atm. Add to that list that monkey ball was ported over last month & pro evo is getting a sequel next month.

    Is half life 2 still meant to be coming out for xbox 1 or is it 360 now?

    HL 2 is for xbox1 but expect a 360 version too.

    There does seem to be a silly amount of games coming out atm, I'd reccomend burnout4 to anyone who liked the original, it's very cool, I have farcry but havent played it yet. I played the demo a few weeks back and I reckon it has the nicest graphics of any FPS on the xbox. FArcry also supports headsets over system link (for Kai and XBC), has a map-editor and has some sort of Feral mode which differs from the PC

    Well a few more sweet releases making it through this weekend.

    I got myself a few.

    World Racing 2 - Not out for a month, but one of the best racers I've played, more fun and better than Boredout 4
    Taito Legends - Shouldn't really have bothered with this, due to most/all the games being available on Emu, but the front end is tidy and spent a few hours replaying Operation Wolf and Thunderbolt
    NHL 2K6The 2K sports series is currently owning the EA game series across all fields(NBA/NHL/College Hoops). Same company make Top Spin and Amped3. Anyway, their 2K6 games are 20 Dollars.

    The other game i picked up was Cold War, havent had a proper chance to play it, but from what i've heard it could be good.

    If you see World Racing 2, give it a go. It might not have an official release date until November though

    I just got a chance to play far cry over the weekend. I cant get over how well it looks & how well the xbox is handling it. There is no slowdown whatsoever. Is there that much of a difference graphically to the pc version?

    The only difference is the better quality screens used compared to TV's.
