Help

[Happydude]

ok, it was my bro's b-day a little while back, and he still didn't get a present, he wants to get an x-box game...i wanna know what he shoud get...lol...yeah



the only game we have for x-box right now is Amped...so, what game should we get?

1 game...what should it be?



i was thinking Halo or Splinter cell, but i don't think my 10 year old bro would like SS...so yeah...what game?

[Stonecutter]

For a ten year old (but something that you will love too) get Project Gotham Racing. It's either 20 or 30$ now. It's an awesome game.

[Happydude]

not racing please...or any other sports...they get way to repetative:unsure:

[Jonbo298]

hmm....since you don't think he will like Splinter Cell, I guess I would recommend Halo. But since I don't own an XBox and probably never will, I guess that would be the one to get. :unsure:meh

[Happydude]

lol jonbo...why arnt you ever gonna get an x-box?

[Jonbo298]

It came from Microsoft's "buttocks":sneaky: (gotta keep it toned down so I don't get banned, but you get what I meant;)) I just don't trust M$. The only product I ever use from them is Windows. Only because basically all the big name software uses Windows. but I dont want to throw this off topic, so I will just tell people to continue with this man's help.

[Dyne]

JSRF? That's a really fun game. If not, go for Shenmue 2; my current favourite game. :D

Everyone must understand that that Jonbo is a player hater. He dislikes Microsoft for 2 reasons:

1) He affilliates the XBox with Windows, which is a mistake.

2) Its the cool thing to do.

The fact is that Microsoft isn't successful merely because they are bullies. MS basically revolutionized home computing and were the first software developers to take the idea of "a computer in every home" seriously. They do make a quality product.

Does it have bugs? Yes, but its also about 20 times more complex and advanced that the Mac operating system. Windows gives you more options and abilities. The truth is that a lot of non MS products flat out suck. People scream about Linux, but who the hell outside of the computer industry or culture want to learn how to use that? No one.

But I digress. In short if Jonbo wants to hold some infantile grudge against MS for Windows and not buy an XBox, thats fine by me. Its his loss.

Myself, I actually play video games FOR THE GAMES... not the politics.

[Professor S]

Halo, Oddworld, Dr. Muto (GREAT Platformer), XBox Live (If you have BB), Fusion Frenzy (if he likes party games its good for a kid)

[Angrist]

Hmm... not too violent. Not a sportstitle... a fun game....

Get him a GameCube. :D ;)

[Happydude]

Microsoft has a reputation for making ****ty products, because they make ****ty products. Microsoft has a reputation for screwing people over, because they have in the past (and they are still going strong). Reputations are earned, and it logical to associate Xbox with Windows, because they both are made by the same company with the same business plan.

Does it have bugs? Yes. Do they fix the bugs? No. And it not 20 times more complex than Mac OS, you would be foolish to believe that. Microsoft's software really only leads in web browsers, and office. MS Office I agree, is a great software suite. And the only reason the other browsers haven't caught on well is because IE doesn't exactly follow W3 standards, so you can either make a website that works in IE, or works as it should. Hell, IE for Windows and Mac even display differently. But there are other options avaliable, and many non-Windows users jump to them. But aside from that, MS doesn't have many products. Non MS products suck? Most of the great software avaliable isn't made by MS. If you mean non MS operating systems suck, that would make more sense, though I would still disagree, it's not so broad.

People scream about Linux because it's an excellent OS, unlike Windows. Windows only excels in the gaming world, and no, gamers does not make up the majority of PC users. The reason Linux will never appeal to the masses is because it's far too complicted to use. Apple solved that problem with Mac OS X. It is a Unix-based OS, but they have added a user-friendly GUI and have support from major software companies. And for the record, Mac OS X is the most popular Unix-based OS on the market. Linux doesn't appeal to the masses, but Mac OS X does.

Who says Jonbo plays games for the politics? If you don't trust a company and you don't buy their product, it's called being a smart consumer.

Someone has their bitter pants on today.

If MS doesn't fix their bugs, why do they release service issues? I guess they do fix them.

I never said the Linux OS wasn't excellent. I said it wasn't user friendly, and guess what? IT AIN'T.

Hell, I love UNIX based system and work with one (Basic actually, but close) and I love the freedom and stability. But to say the average PC user would choose UNIX over an MS OS is just silly.

I'm not saying that MS is the best company in the world, but I don't think they are the modern Hitler either. All you do by saying MS is evil and eveyone else is wonderful is prevent yourself from the burden of thinking.

The casual PC user likes MS and uses MS because it has sex appeal. Its pretty, easy to pick up and go with but still is as detailed and intricate as you want to make it. Word and Excel are EXCELLENT examples of this. I consider myself a Excel wiz and I still learn something new I can do with that program every day.

BTW, if you think the Mac OS is as deep as the MS OS you are only fooling yourself and to say that the majority of the world uses MS software ONLY because of militaristic business tactics is the same as saying you are a fool.

[Professor S]

Denis, you complain about Gekko and myself going off topic, and then you continue to post off topic over and over and over...

At least when we went off-topic we actually had something to SAY. If you have a question for Bond, send him a private message and don't litter the boards with this stuff.

[Tombor]

Okay. Xbox games that 10 year olds would like.... him

Blinx is pretty good but it gets super hard later on. Like smash your f---ing controller into the ground because the damn cat can't beat a little blob thing hard. There's Tony Hawk 3, and 4, (3 is really cheap now), Jet Set Radio Future (maybe), Mad Dash Racing is pretty good at $20, Dead Or Alive 3 is pretty much pick and play, Transworld Snowboarding is a lot easier than Amped (same sort of controls but easier tricks and better graphics), Whiteout doesn't suck too bad, Serious Sam is easy to play and you can control the blood and gore, MechAssault is a hoot, I think Unreal Championship has an option to turn off gore, and Cel Damage is ACTUALLY pretty good. Particularly at $20.

[Happydude]

there is an answer that acually has a veriety of games...thx tombor

[Angrist]

Hmm Tony Hawk sounds like the game I would give to my little bro... Or a snowboarding game. Kids like board games. So do you. ;)
