10 years of XBOX

The Xbox launched my gamer career. I was an Xbox-only owner between 2002 and 2004 and enjoyed all the blockbuster titles as a mainstream gamer before I started to look for what else there is in the world of gaming and got into import gaming, shooters, arcade stuff. I have very fond memories with the Xbox to this day. Halo 1, Midtown Madness 3, Splinter Cell, Oddworld, Project Gotham Racing 1, SSX 3, Riddick, Doom 3, GTA Doublepack, Halo 2, KotoR, Fable, so many nice games.... Steel Battalion being one of the most impressive. Unfortunately I don't own it (yet), but I played it a couple of times at a friend's house.

Exactly. DOA is really a physics lesson. They're teaching you science!

There's a reason why team Ninja made the original DOAX so you could play it with one hand...

Oddly, it seems that the average person doesn't realize that the original Xbox was really the most powerful console of the last generation. In fact, it seems that it's been almost completely forgotten. Gamestop doesn't even carry original Xbox games anymore, even though they carry both PS2 and Gamecube games.

Word I recall "someone" on this forum saying the gamecube-based Wii is more powerful than the Xbox.

Riiiight, that one could run HL2 and Doom3, what about that?

On gamestop not carrying Xbox games I think it has more to do with how MS stopped all production on the months leading to the X360

Seeing how much money they were bleeding then it doesnt surprises me

No one has mentioned the massive Duke controllers? You could use them to knock over small buildings.

I don't know who that "someone" is, as it certainly was not I. If I said that, then I was in error.

Also, I've never played the Xbox version of Doom 3, but the Xbox ran HL2 very poorly. It had terrible framerate issues. I wouldn't say that the Wii is "more powerful" than the Xbox, but it's not merely a Gamecube. Look at a game like Super Mario Galaxy and you'll see what I mean.
