> Conker Live and Reloaded: (Microsoft Game Studios)
To me this looks like the first platformer with graphics to equal some FPS
and RPG games...

It could be dangerously similar to PGR1 and 2...
> Brothers in Arms: (Ubisoft)
Yeah, when a developer says their game will be GOTY before the game is
released and before the *year, you know they think they have something
pretty spectacular. Me, I think it could be way too similar to Call of
Duty...
> Star Wars Republic Commando: Rainbow Six in the Star Wars Universe!
> (Lucasarts)
My pick, only because all the gameplay movies make it seem like there is a
*story for once in a Star Wars Xbox game. I love the opening sequences that
were posted on Gamespot that hint at a Halo 1 style intro...
> Unreal Championship 2: Bringing a knife to a gun-fight! (Midway)
I know everyone is still into Unreal (on PC, UT is getting GOTY) but I've
moved on big time...
> Close Combat: First To Fight: Similar to Full Spectrum Warrior, but

Name the last Globalstar game that rocked your world?
> Far Cry Instincts: Nuff said! (Ubisoft)
Maybe, but it looks more like what Ubisoft did with Rainbow Six for Xbox. I
played the entire single player campaign on PC and lots and lots of hours in
multiplayer, and I kept having major deja vu with the graphics they recycled
for the Xbox version.
> Jade Empire: Karate + RPG + gore + Bioware = instant classic
> (Bioware / Microsoft Game Studios)
Yup, a game that could trump some of the Japanese RPGs.
> Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory; Sam Fisher with a knife...drool!
> (Ubisoft)
Probably the game I'm looking forward to the most, only because I'm a
serious SC fan and think this game is going to get the Riddick graphics
treatment...
> GTA San Andreas: Rob, Kill, Murder, Have Sex! (Rockstar)
Not my genre...
> Rainbow Six 4: Lockdown: Ok, I like to shoot... so what! (Ubisoft)
A big maybe...
> Starcraft Ghost: Finally! (Blizzard)
If it comes out. We all know everything Blizzard does turns golden, except
of course for Diablo 2.
