Initial reactions:
1. Bloodrayne (http://\"http://www.bloodrayne.com\") - freaking sweet. Gameplay was nice with a selectable 1st person, 3rd person, 3rd person w/ strafe controls as well as control sets for lefties. The controls were a lil weird at first but it was a hella fun demo. You have to check this one out.
2. Splinter Cell (http://\"http://www.splintercell.com/us/\") - very realistic (other than the jumping). I have never been good at tactical games like that, but it was really fun. Thermal vision and night vision were fantastic.
3. Panzer Dragoon Orta (http://\"http://www.panzer-dragoon.com/eng/index.html\") - are you kidding me? It was NOT what I expected. Fixed path game w/ less than stellar fun levels....sad, very sad. I expected a lot out of this game.
4. Toe Jam... (http://\"http://www.tjande.com/tje3.html\") - Boring. Didn't get into the originals on Sega and I didn't get into this one. The game was confusing and I just didn't have fun with it. The graphics were very nice though, so if you liked the originals then this may be a game you want to pick up.
That's all for now.

lol....I am sure MS would just love you selling pre-modded MDK9.0 Xboxes. Played more Splinter Cell and Bloodrayne....I need those games along with MechAssault and Dynasty Warriors 3 (have it for PS2).

Every Xbox M$ sell costs them money, they are making nothing on the hardware, and selling below cost.
The reason? well most of their games are around 100 bucks. (AUD) and generally people that buy an Xbox are gonna end up getting at least a couple of games.
Its the same thing as buying a printer at 80 bucks, and then paying 50 dollars for a replacement ink cartridges.. they know you will, and they make their money that way.
Why do you think a tiny box of ink goes for that much money?
Anyway, taking the above into account, you can bet your life M$ are not happy about the modding/Linux situation, they haven't tackled the sourceforge project because there is not much they can do about it. who do they sue and why? its a GPL project, and its only supplying the software, not the mod chips, the mod chips are the thing that makes it possible and the only real area MS can attack.
Linux on an Xbox is actually pretty good, since an Xbox is actually a 700mhz PC in a little box, why wouldn't it be good? you can even replace the joystick ports with normal USB ports, because thats exactly what they really are. (USB ports I mean).
Anyway, I didn't really plan on commenting here, I've been looking around madly for any info on running Bloodrayne on Linux.
