KOTOR is the only reason I'll buy an Xbox, and KOTOR 2, hmmmm....

KOTOR is coming out for PC as well, just so you know.

Yeah, but I'd rather play it on the original console.

I never really liked GTA3 or Vice City on PC. Unless the game will be online (not downloadable content, but online play), then I I'll just get it for PC.

Xbox isn't really the original console, they've just had a bit of exclusivity with it for a while, to get sales. The PC version is going to be better anyways; you won't need Xbox Live, either, for the cool stuff that's coming up.

Good news on the possibility of KOTOR 2 coming to Xbox.

But on the possiblity of "Rebel X". I think it will be false anywas (even though its already been confirmed). This is yet another example of a rumour that could easily be believable just because the perception of Nintendo is that they are failing in the console market and companies are just eagerly jumping to and fro.

Accroding to IGN's playtest, the graphics are better, as well as a lot of technical aspects which makes the game play better. There'll also be new items, weapons, and a new area or too.

Plus there'll be downloadable content and stuff in the future, which I'm sure the xbox version will get as well.

I'll be getting it for PC simply because I don't have an xbox, and even if I did, the PC version is slightly better, so there's no reason for me not to pick it up.

Does anyone find that now they've played kotor other games don't seem as good to play or you're much more picky? Are there any other decent games out there (it's my birthday soon)?

If you have a decent computer, I would get Neverwinter Nights with its expansion: Shadows of Undrentide. Both were made by the same people as KOTOR. NWN is even getting another expansion soon called Hordes of the Underdark.

GameCube can have Factor 5- the Rogue Squadron series has incredible visuals, but has extremely shallow gameplay, and I've played the Rebel Strike demo (nothing more than a tech-demo IMO).

After playing (and beating) KOTOR, I've started to notice the lack of polish in other video games.

I would recommend Otogi for your birthday, but it all comes down to you.

allow me to preface this statement by saying that there are people on this board who would (unfairly) call me the biggest xbox fanboy here

LOL, you've got to be kidding me.

You call Rogue Squadron shallow, then you go to recomend Otogi? Otogi is one of the most shallow games I've ever played. Fun, but shallow. Even when you factor in that it IS a hack-n-slash it's STILL shallow.

Crimson Skies is coming out in the next two weeks (in fact, it might even be two weeks) it's got Live and I have every confidence in it being kick ass. It'll be Mechassault with planes. That'll probably be the next game I buy, I suggest you make it yours.

If you are implying that I'm a Xbox fanboy, then I suggest you read up on some of my posts- I happen to own a GameCube, and have at least a dozen games for the system.

Let me go into more detail- I would give Factor 5 a 10 on their ability to push the GameCube's visual prowess to the limits, but as for gameplay, Rogue Leader does feel shallow, unaccurate, and most reviewers agree.

IGN puts it best:

The ships in the game don't often feel as if they have any deep physics to them. When one turns, it happens on a dime, without hesitation, and not always with an accurate sensation that a hulking, metal craft is soaring through space.

Also, it's not uncommon to run into the occasional turn limit -- an angle or point where it's impossible to chase a TIE fighter to because the camera keeps trying to right itself.

And the radar setup is often confusing. We realize that Rogue Leader isn't a simulation and therefore doesn't need abide by the rules of such efforts, but regardless, these oversights have a significant affect on the experience and therefore should be considered.

Rogue Leader is a pretty good Star Wars series, but the gameplay doesn't feel right (most of the time you don't get the sensation of flying), the ships you control have extremely shallow physics, and the camera-system actually affects mission sequences- like IGN said, the camera always tries to right itself.
