I own an Xbox and to be honest I own two games for it. Halo 2 and Fable. None of the other games really interested me or I could borrow them from a friend.

I don't really play that mant console games as of late, seem to have lost some of its appeal, still every week or so I might get the ps2 out with mates for a few hours of multiplayer fun.

X-Box LAN is really fun, especially on Halo 2

I actually find the KotOR games to be my favorite X-box games. My brother also owns a whole bunch of others like the splitercell series, Soul Caliber, the two Mech warriors games, and Halo 2 that I also like. I enjoyed playing Fable, but I had some problems with how it turned out.

Unlike the KotOR games going down the evil or good path had very little real effect on the actual game in Fable, which was a disappointment. The ending also seemed rather weak.

Yeah, Halo and KotOR were my favorite Xbox games, too. I really hate the PS2 system, though ... it's just got some good games.

It's got Romance of the Three Kingdoms Series. That's enough for me to buy it!

Yeah, I knock XBox but I just spent most of Saturday and a good portion of Sunday playing KoTOR II, heh. I really do like that game a lot. I think I'm about at the end, since I have no control over where I go again.

And yeah, Fable was huge hype, but disappointing in the end. The storyline is the exact same and so rigid. Plus, it is extremely easy after the first time you play it. I just kept killing random people until my evil went all the way up, then got into one of the demon doors and got some weapon that made me nearly invincible for where I was in the story. I did get really into it the first time I played it, but toward the end I just kept shaking my head. I hated the ending, it was so weak.

But yeah, the KoTOR's are amazing. I can tell where Obsidian got rushed with the storyline, though, since at the end I can hardly tell what's going on. So much stuff gets thrown at me and I feel like I'm just being drug along. But...oh well

I think the first KoTOR had a better plot, but the second one was also a lot of fun to play. I only played it once through as a tormented exile, who was not so much evil, as he was believing he had done what was necessary. Ultimately I fell, but I wouldn't say I was unrepentedly evil. I may need to play again and try a more heroic route.

PlayStation 2 does have some good games. The Grand theft Autos, Romance of the three Kingdom games, etc.

Apparently much of the storyline in KOTOR II had to be cut at the end to meet the Lucas Arts deadline. It would have been much better if they'd agreed to a delay of like 2 weeks but nope - they said ship as is.
