Any good suggestions on specific titles? Saffron has been hogging the xBox for the past 4 weeks playing Morrowind - 5-7 hours a DAY for the last month

Okay, I'll take the bait.
For the PS2: upon re-acquiring the console, this reviewer was lucky to get a hold of "Devil May Cry 2". This game is absolutely, positively, hands-down, no contest one of the best PS2 games ever made. Not only are the graphics impeccable, it's non-stop action wall-to-wall. If you want a game that tests your reflexes in ways you didn't think possible, definitely go for it. It's also a vast improvement on the original, as far as length goes.
If you're into RPG's, forget Morrowind. It doesn't hold a candle to Xenosaga. Another beautifully crafted game from Namco with an improved battle engine. This time around, not only you fight with your characters; they have robot trigger modes.
Star Wars: Bounty Hunter, although the culprit of my vertigo woes, is also a surprisingly good outing from Lucasarts. All the other Star Wars games look like lame rip-offs in comparison to this one, which looks like an expanded and improved version of "Jedi Outcast". Lucasarts also added some nifty cinemas. The game also expands the backgrounds and storylines of County "Doofus" <g> and Jango Fett. The outtakes are simply hilarious.
Stay away from "Hitman2". It's not worth the pain. More of the same, and nothing new to look forward while playing it if you played the original. I found GTA Vice City a big disappointment, too. It follows the line of lame sequels.
If you're looking for fun on the Xbox, definitely go for Tom Clancy's "Splinter Cell". Great action thriller, very meticulously crafted, and very realistic. I still haven't played the "Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb" game, and my reviewers (aka students) aren't exactly dying to play it either, so I assume it may not be something to write home about.
Hope this helps!
JJ
