Sega titles on other systems 2 - The Xbox

The Sega titles that will be featured on the Xbox:
NFL2K2 - Yes, everyone's favorite upstart football series is making its way onto the Xbox. Although there are three versions coming out (PlayStation 2, Xbox, and Dreamcast), this will be for those who are looking for a bit higher graphical affects and by those who most likely sold their Dreamcast to afford an Xbox.
NBA2K2 - The same as the above. This will have a bit better graphics due to the more powerful Xbox, but it all goes down to preference really. If one prefers the PlayStation 2 controller then that should be the system of choice. If on-line play is brought in then this would be the version to get as the Xbox goes with a built-in Ethernet adaptor. If you don't have a broadband connection then the PlayStation 2 modem with both dialup and broadband may be the way to go. If you wish to forego the whole on-line play experience and are dying for your sports fix; the NBA is definitely covered here.
Note: These titles will be out Winter 2001
Gun Valkyrie - Being developed by Smilebit, looking to be more of a third-person action/shooter this title is still in development so little information is given. It is being done in an anime flare though, so those of you who enjoyed a title like Cannon Spike, but wouldn't mind an art style more akin to Japanese Animation, then this is a title you should look out for. With Smilbit's track record, this is sure to be one of the better Xbox titles to come out; it's not due out until Spring 2002 though.
JetSetRadioFuture - This is the title to look out for and will be an immediate success. This is the follow-up to JetGrind Radio and features even larger levels with drop-dead gorgeous visuals. Another new addition is that it will be 1-4 players compatible with co-op modes, but unfortunately, it isn't on-line capable, so be prepared to huddle around on a couch for several hours. Along with new tricks and a strong showing at E3, this is one of the more polished titles to be coming out. Its release date has yet to be determined.
House of the Dead 3 - Yes, Sega's venerable zombie-lightgun-blasting shooter is back. This time it's cell shaded - yes, cell shaded. From the few pictures I have seen, I must say that it really detracts from the series' regular creepy edge. I'm holding off judgment though as I am a big fan of the series and I can't wait to try it out. Its release date is also unknown at this time.
