Well I already have a GameCube and PS2, so this Christmas the time has come to get an XBox. I've definitely decided I want to get Knights of the Old Republic, but I'm not sure what else to get. I know someone will say Halo, but I'm not the biggest fan of the game. Anyway, I welcome any and all suggestions.
Wish I could've added more fields. I really like the old Robin Hood, Aladdin, and the Emperor's New Groove. Cinderella is awesome, and I loathe the Jungle Book.
Quote:Nintendo officially revealed today that they will be introducing legal videogames to the Chinese market in October. Sony and Microsoft have both expressed interest in entering China, but haven't up to this point because of piracy fears. Nintendo is quelling these fears by introducing a totally new console called the iQue which is played by downloading content at participating stores.
The iQue Player will sell for 498 yuan (60 USD) which Nintendo believes is a low enough price point to be affordable for all people interested in videogames. To curb piracy the console comes with a single memory card to download games which is only usable on the console it was sold with. Titles will include 10 Chinese language versions of past Nintendo games. It is unknown at this point what games will be released besides the fact that a past Mario game will be one of the ten games. Each game can be downloaded for only 48 yuan (5.80 USD). Sales will begin in mid-October in three Chinese cities, and Nintendo plans to expand the operation nationwide beginning in the spring.

Capcom announced today a new role-playing game set in the Mega Man X universe, titled Mega Man X: Command Mission. In development for both the Nintendo GameCube and the Sony PlayStation 2, Command Mission takes the characters from Mega Man X7 and throws them into an RPG.
In addition to Mega Man, Zero, and Axl, a new female reploid will join the party. Command Mission's progression is broken up into "Battle Stages," with the heroes returning to base after one is completed. The overall goal is to infiltrate Gigantis Island, where the evil Liberation Army headed up by General Upsilon resides. Put a stop to their madness, and everyone goes home happy.
Mega Man X Command Mission borrows the cel-shaded visuals featured in Mega Man X7. While adventuring, the perspective is over-the-shoulder, while battles have an open 3D environment similar to the Final Fantasy games. Character turns in combat will be determined by an order list, which changes from battle to battle. Action elements, like button combinations for special moves, mix things up during fights, as well.
Capcom will release Mega Man X Command Mission in Japan in 2004, with a North American date following soon after.

Cool. Let's just hope that it doesn't use the super-crappy engine from X7.

Square Enix announced today that existence of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children an computer-generated animated feature which will debut on DVD sometime in 2004.
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children follows Cloud two years after the events depicted in the 1997 PSone RPG, as he tries to save what has become a peaceful world from oncoming darkness.
The screens below show Cloud's new CG model, as well as one for Sephiroth. It may be disappointing for some fans to learn that this won't be a game, but, alas, some could argue that Square is just skipping to all the good parts. ;)
