I feel bad for you.

Doom can not be blamed for columbine. I did here that the kids made a doom map of there school but seriously put the blame where it belongs, the shooters. My term paper was on how there is nothing wrong with video game violence.

If I where you, I'd get a 360. Just about any computer today w/ a decent graphics card & CPU can emulate an Xbox virtually flawlessly...

except that there are no working xbox emulators in existance and the comptuer you would need to run an xbox emulator would cost about 5 times as much.

id personally get an old xbox, they are still perfectly fun to play, they cost way less, and you can load all sorts of goodies onto them (XBMC anyone?) (oh yeah... and they cost way less)

Well your teachers a b!tch who places the blame on games, tv, and music becuase kids would never do such an evil thing without outside influence.

Damn uneducated Teachers.

Get a old xbox. the 360 doent play most of the old xbox games right now.

WHAT!? Take it up w/ the school administration! Grading a paper solely on opinion is completely unlawful! Dude, when you get F'd in the A, F back!

(I once got a point marked wrong on a quiz because I wrote "Cursor" instead of "Mouse Pointer" (Not big enough of a deal to care really

))

EDIT: By the way, remember, you have to downloa-- I mean "Copy your own" xbox BIOS for an Xbox emulator to work...

And you can find them MUCH more often than you would find a 360.

One thing: Mod it, you wont be sorry, and its worth the 20-50 bucks for the modchip! Good games are:

Doom 3
GTA 3
GTA Vice City
GTA San Andreas
Halo
Halo 2
Star Wars Battlefront
Soul Calibar 2 (Although the GCN version is the best)

Good Homebrew:
Surreal 64 (N64 Emulator)
PCSBox (I think thats what its called)

Really, its all personal preffrence. Have fun

Fable was a good game...but it was WAY too short. As soon as you get into it the game ends.

And once you get the sword (or bow?) of ultimate power (whatever it was called) you can pwn anything and it's not fun anymore. I slaughtered an entire town. Without dying. Or getting caught by police. Because you can kill them in either one or a low number of hits.
