Going back, way back, back in time to the old skool, Xbox and GC style

Also thinking of picking up some old Xbox and GC games and I need your feedback to know if the following titles are any good:

True Crime Streets of LA
Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon
Legacy Of Kain Defiance
Blood Omen 2
Conker Xbox
Sphinx
Black
Psychonauts
James Bond: Nightfire
Wario World
Starfox Assault
Geist
Baten Kaitos - is the card system difficult to pick up or use? Is the 45 hr length dragging and too long?
Metal Arms Glitch in the System - is it too difficult?
DREAMFALL THE LONGEST JOURNEY

Can you guys name all the Hitman games you have played and if they are any good? I really enjoyed Hitman 2 but I think I rented 3 and barely played it. I know there are more and I was thinking about picking a few up.

Throw any more reccomendations my way, though I have played a lot, Ninja Gaiden, Strangers Wrath, Riddick etc.

Its hard to wrong with mouse aiming. Vice city was mostly a hold button down for a lock on. Have you tried GTA Chinatown wars? One of the best, along with GTA 3 and Vice city IMO.

Never found it over here. Handheld gaming and I never really clicked, but I never was in the position of buying it in the first place. Maybe I didn't look hard enough.

GTA Chinatown wars is a rare beast, it's actually the full GTA experience, you don't feel like you are playing some toned down for DS portable version - it's actually pretty awesome, maybe the best game on the system looked at objectively and maybe more fun than a few of the home console GTAs.

Chinatown is the best GTA game, period.

I can't get into Chinatown Wars, I bought it on PSP some time ago. The floaty controls, and strange bloated characters just completely turned me off. ugg the driving is just a huge pain in the ass.Weird Camera angles plus floaty controls suckkkkk.

I don't remember bloated characters. I liked the controls, did you use the analog nub? The controls were designed for the d-pad so maybe that was a problem? As far as I remember the camera was pretty perfect most of the time, high up and pulled back at just the right angle do you could speed along straight without crashing into stuff that appears too fast for you to react.

I will give it another go, I don't play my psp that much, so I like a pick up and go type game on it.

Yeah I did play it on the DS, the screen is a lot smaller so maybe they stretched the game out to fill the PSP screen which is why the characters appear bloated?
