    X-Box games

    As a proud new owner of an X-Box, and as a person addicted to racing games, I'm looking for input on a couple things. First, which NASCAR game is better? I've heard that EA's game is good, but other's say NASCAR Heat is better. There are also a couple of steering wheel sets available. Any input on these? Currently, I've only purchased Gotham Racing, which kicks some serious butt!

    I'm to tired to give a decent response to this now, but keep this at the top, and I might have some input tomorrow.

      I was at the unveiling of the Xbox here in the UK and I had a quick play of a game called Reckless : The Yakuza Missions (or something). It was pretty good and looks absolutly stunning.

      Or get Halo, which according to the UKs best gaming magazine is the best game ever.

        HALO isn't THAT good but it's still really good...

          Just read a review of Reckless yesterday and saw a demo on the X-box magazine demo disk. WOW! If the game is anything like the demo, It might be more realistic than Gotham. It's probably a second quarter 02 game, but should be worth the wait.
          Also, still looking for input on the NASCAR games... anybody have any reviews??

            Check that site for info on Reckless: The Yakuza Missions. There are some videos to download and somehow I think this game is tied to or is a spinoff of Grand Theft Auto 3. There is a Yakuza gang in GTA3. Correct me if I'm wrong. Anyways, this game is due out in February and looks promising.

            I can't provide any info on the Nascar games, haven't had a chance to play any of them. Thunder looks great graphically and I'm sure you can't go wrong with EA.

                I've played HALO and DOA 3. I thought DOA 3 was the best fighting game I've ever played. You should definately check that one out. HALO wasn't that hot. Sorry, I couldn't tell you much about NASCAR games because I haven't played any yet.
                "Men think they think upon great politcal questions, and they do; but they think with their party, not independently; they read its literature, but not that of the other side; they arrive at convictions, but they are drawn from a partial view of the matter in hand and are of no particular value. They swarm with their party, they feel with their party, they are happy in their party's approval; and where the party leads they will follow, whether for right and honor, or through blood and dirt and a mush of mutilated morals."

                  WOW! Graphics aren't as crisp as Gotham, but pedistrians?? I want a code to unlock the ability to flatten them! I guarantee I'll own this one as fast as it comes out!

                    Pfft, I dunno about you all but I still think HALO is neeto keen. My lil bro just got it today and I couldnt keep my hands off it.
                    But...If im really open minded about it, its not the incredibly awesome game that so many people were talking about but its still pretty darn good.
                    And to think I gave up video games for a while, xbox and ps2 are only gonna reel me back in...

                      MUNCH'S ODYSSEY IS BETTER THAN HALO! I really like how oddworld is more in depth and has less violence than halo... Halo is too easy and "KILL!" for me...

                          Agreed.... left, straight, left, straight, left, straight... gets kind of old. I did buy NASCAR Thunder, and even though I'm no NASCAR fan, the game itself is actually very fun. Lots more challenging than it sounds, since you need to draft the cars in front of you, watch your tires, gas, damage, etc.
                          Also picked up Max Payne for a good shooter game. Not real interested in the Munch's Odyssey fantasy world type stuff. The 'bullet time' function gives you Matrix like control. Pretty wild!
