Question

Right, need a few more games.

Gonna get Tiger Woods 2003 as love golf and been waiting for a proper golf game on the Xbox for ages.

Need to pick the best of the crop out of:

Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance
Midnight Club 2
Colin McRae Rally 3 (or can get on PC for 17.99......)
Unreal Championship
Toe Jam & Earl

Anyone got any experience of them?

Blimey, totally different games there. Depends what you are after really.

I'm currently playing Midnight Club II and loving it. Very fast and great fun, especially on the bikes

Tojam & Earl III sucks IMO, don't bother. Funny for about 5 minutes.

Unreal Champ - Amazing if on XB Live and great multiplayer. Otherwise its pretty average.

MGS2: Great game that will suck you in and waste many hours of your life.

CMR3: Get it on PC instead.

You bet your butt On the second play of it its so good!

Dunk - cheers, yep, a variety there, no specific 1 type that appeals to me

Right CMR3 on the PC then, MGS2 (although I really should finish the last 1/3 of Splinter Cell!!) and Midnight Club. I'm going to get live, but to be honest I've got Unreal Tournament for the PC I can play online............

If you've already got UC for the PC, then get Ghost Recon.
Superb stuff, and really comes into it's own on the Live! service.

Tiger woods is cracking.
It's very realistic, but don't be surprised if the analog swing takes a while to get used to
Many an evening spend doing the back 9 at St Andrews....

Outlaw Golf is pretty amusing too Also does the analogue swing thing. The rollerball golf game in Queen Vic pub near Victoria Station is great, got a version of that on the PC where you pull back your mouse and swing.

If you like platformy style games then get Blinx The Time Sweeper, it's pretty addictive.
Also MotoGP 2 - cracking racing game and playable on xbox live.

Dead or Alive 3 - Excellent

House of the Dead 3 - Great fun with a light gun
Indiana Jones - Meant to be brilliant, I thought it was ok
