I see you crossed out the question but I want to point out the Xbox at the time was kinda like an affordable gaming PC. Some games simply werent scaled back for PS2 because the specs were so weak and very different from a PC. So something that was great about Xbox back then doesent matter much now sinc the average PC can better handle those games. |
Yeah indeed, a lot of my mates at the time referred to it as a mid range gaming PC in a box. I guess it was in the name originally :) just a Direct X box for playing your games.
I know what you mean though back when it launched it was an all inclusive package for playing games too, no fiddling around with hardware, no need for gaming mouse/keyboards just took out all the hassle and gave games like Morrowind on the big screen. (I lost so many hundred hours into my GOTY version of that you wouldn't believe).
My question was more just a case of... if you look at a console and think what are the best games that it bought to the table, say... if it was the GC you wouldn't often go to games which were on other platforms too, or the same with the SNES you would rarely go to games which also had megadrive ports, but this persons list exclusively are games which also appear on the PC.
I think he missed some glorious games which were only on the Xbox like Blinx the Time Sweeper and the amazing remaster of Conkers Live and Uncut.
