XBox and Halo 2 and other video game stuff

Well, it seems that the XBox finally has enough good games for me to want one. Specifically Halo 2. It's nice to see a console with a well-defined online strategy, even if I don't like it.

I've been thinking about this year's holiday wishlist, and I think it's going to have to include an XBox and Halo 2. I've just been so dissapointed by the buggy online offerings from Sony and the non-existent ones from Nintendo.

I HAVE been enjoying the single player experience on PS2 and GameCube. Metriod Prime 2 is an incredible sequel, Burnout 3 (PS2) is a blast (even though online is buggy as heck with zero support), and Paper Mario is just plain entertaining.

Look for my wishlist soon.

One of my biggest gripes about the Xbox is, and has always been, its crap-for-crap controllers. I've got huge hands, and they're still uncomfortable as heck. However, I played on an Xbox with the Logitech wireless controller, and found it to be immensely pleasing, one of the best controllers I've played with, period.

Halo 2 (not to mention Halo) has also piqued my interest in the Xbox, and I too would not mind getting one for the holiday season.
