Dead or Alive Ultimate, Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow, and Prince of Persia: Sands of Time are on my list for Xbox games. For PC I want Worms 3D.
Other Xbox games you might consider
Halo 2 (best Xbox game IMO)
KOTOR 2 (Haven't played it but the first one rocks.)
Prince of Persia: Warrior...
I voted yes. I really couldn't care less about ESRB ratings anymore. I don't think they're accurate. Anyways, It depends on why it is offensive, and how bad it is. For example, I don't mind killing mercenaries and demons in Ninja Gaiden or terrorists in Rainbow Six, but I definately do mind...
Lol that was a positive comment, Riverway.
My sis got a Christian tattoo. It's like two nails forming a cross, with a crown of thorns around it and a dove flying by. I have to agree with dudedude though.
It depends on what things bother you. (and what your parents say) There is some blood and language, but it's not too bad.

The Flood scared the pants off me the first couple times I played it. Maybe I'm just a wuss.
I have it, play it, and like it. It does have some appropriateness issues, but not enough to keep me from playing it. It's a personal issue. I would recommend reading the reviews by CCGR.
I only rented Shenmue II for the Xbox, and while it had some interesting concepts, it just didn't hold my attention long. Maybe I'll try the original DreamCast game. This sounds like it might be cool. I know a lot of fans of the series are going to be very happy. Just wondering, where did you...
