Xbox
Games - Only for Xbox Game Consoles
A
huge array of exciting new Xbox games have been released
for the new Xbox game consoles. Many of them have been specifically
produced for the Xbox console itself. These are new Xbox
games that can take advantage of the Xbox console's
speed and superb graphics capabilities and they offer real
interactive play with a wide array of add on accessories
available.
There's
Xbox games for every taste from action and adventure to
role playing and simulation. For adult buyers, there's Project
Gotham Racing, a futuristic car racing game taking place
in the downtown streets of 200 cities such as New York and
London. The scenes are realistic. In fact, they were said
to be perfect recreations of the buildings and streets present
in the chosen cities. The video animation is amazing. Rounding
corners is smooth and sliding at high speed appears real.
You can even see light reflecting off the ground and on
the cars paint and the audio is more realistic too.
Project
Gotham Racing Allows up to four players to drive against
each other and your choice of 25 different cars and 100
driving challenges. You'll have a different race each time
with realistic night and day driving conditions with changing
weather. What a great game! Project Gotham Racing is produced
by Bizarre Creations, the company who produced Metropolis
Street Racer for Sega Corp.
Project
Gotham Racing - Xbox Street Racing Simulation Game
Test
Drive Off Road - Wide Open
This
game lets you drive your choice of 50 classic off road trucks
through the badlands and wide open wilderness. It has some
exciting scenery and challenges that the street racing games
can't offer. Try driving a Hummer through awesome hills,
forbidden ranges and sudden obstacles in Hawaii or Utah
while listening to original high quality sound tracks. You'll
need some quick reactions.
For
the racing games, you might want to check out the Mad Catz
MC2 Racing Wheel which sells for about $60. It's the officially
licensed steering wheel for the Xbox.
Amped
Freestyle Snowboarding - Go where you want to
Immersive
and Interactive - Xbox Games Get Physical
The
most exciting feature of Xbox games is the use of sturdy
physical peripheral devices which you can stand on and participate
more fully in the game. Amped Freestyle Snowboarding is
one such game that can use the digital freestyler boards.
This game really epitomizes how far home video gaming has
come and where it is going. It's fully immersive and interactive
and a lot of fun. I don't know about you, but I've always
wanted to try snowboarding and this game lets you really
get into the experience of snowboarding on some of the worlds
best ski hills. Now you're really going to want to get that
big screen TV you've been wishing for.
Thrustmaster's
Free Styler Board
If
you've ever wanted to try snowboarding or surfing but are
too young to die, you can use the new Freestyler Board from
Thrustmaster which goes for about $80. This is a specially
built ski/skate board that lets you get physically into
the game and experience some mountain skateboarding or big
wave surfing.
You
can still play the game with the standard hand held controller
that comes as part of the Xbox game console package.
Below
is a list of the games an adult would find most enjoyable
and there's even a few for the kids. Stay tuned to Galaxine
for more updates on Xbox game consoles and game software
releases.
