PGR2
BURNOUT 3
NINJA GAIDEN
PRINCE OF PERSIA
SOUL CALIBUR 2
TOP SPIN
FIFA 2005
PES4
RALLISPORT CHALLENGE 2
SPIDERMAN 2
TONY HAWKS UNDERGROUND
MIDTOWN MADNESS 3
SHREK 2
SEGA GT 2002
SHARK TALE
KUNG FU CHAOS
NEMO
PAC WORLD 2
HALO 2
BRUTE FORCE
RAINBOW 6

Prince of Persia and Top Spin are the only decent games in your list :D

I heartily recommend Chronicles of Riddick, Outrun 2, Shenmue II, Quantum Redshift, Beyond Good and Evil, Splinter Cell:Pandora Tomorrow and thats about it...

Not many real quality titles available for the Xbox, the ones above are the standouts. Great for emulation and general Media Center type goodness though.

HALO 2?

care to elaborate why this isnt a 'decent' game?

HALO 2?

Simple, the first one was pants and the second one will probably be more of the same.

Don't get me wrong, I'm partial to a good FPS but the original Halo was nothing special and I did give it a try. Outrun 2 on the other hand had me hooked from the start.

The Xbox suffers from the same problem that the majority of new consoles have and that is lack of originality. Every other game is a sequel or a rehashing of an existing genre hence why I'm getting a GameCube again (mainly for Paper Mario II).

Like I said earlier though - can't fault the Xbox for its Media Center/emulation capabilities.

PES4 (If a real football fan, strides ahead of FIFA in terms of gameplay)

BURNOUT 3 (Quality, fun and easy to get into)

PRINCE OF PERSIA (Might be frustrating for a 7 year old, but a great game)

Top Spin (Great fun, pick up and play, looks great)

Spiderman 2 (Surprisingly a great game, fun for 7-70 year olds)

Halo 2 (Violent? But good)

PGR2 (Good game, need practice to get good)

Soul Calibur 2 (Tasty visuals, violent for a 7 year old?)

I haven't played the rest, but I know you are either a Fifa or a PES fan, so decide on that one, you wont need them both.

What are the contols for PES4 like?
Fifa is pretty easy to get use to.
are they premiership teams?

If you've never played PES they should be alright, however, if you're a PS2 PRO at it, it's complete rubbish. Need a PS2 to XBOX Pad converter.

Premiership teams are in it but they dont have the licenses. You have the real players but not the team names and kits (all this can be changed though - either by yourslef in hte edit, downloading an option file or if you have a modchip, patching the game).

Of course I would recommend PES, but if you like FIFA in anyway, it probably wont be for you.
