OB also has the worst choice when it comes to.....well anything. Especially games and music. He the kinda guy that plays some really crap mech strategy game, while listening to TATU.

Halo 2 is looking exellent and steel battalion is comming out for the xbox it looks great and you get a big twin joystic controller with 30+ bottons to use with it. but it is going to cost £120 all together.

Oh yeah i forgot, why is it every time you try to make a good point it appears to me as being really stupid. With the exception of Halo 2 (hardly worth buying an xbox for 1 game) looking exellent what was your other point? What mug (you) is going to pay £120 for a game, even if it does have a joystick with loads of buttons.

My mate Dug Paton is the biggest Nintendo geek I've ever met. He actually hates the GameCube as well, but because he splashed out so much money on it when it came out, he'll never admit it. The X-Box is a far superior machine. There really is not many good games for the GameCube and I think it's been a step back for Nintendo because to be fair, the N64 was quite decent. Still saying that, the PS1 had it in it's pocket during it's reign. X-Box is the way forward. Spend your hard-earned pennies on one and you'll be happy.

Fat Pete · 26th March 2003, 07:51 PM

i can't possibly see how the way forward is average, uninspiring games that simply look nice. i mean, when was the last time we saw something truly groundbreaking on xbox? even the best xbox games are simply old ideas executed well (halo, splinter cell, project gotham etc) whereas nintendo are creating entire new genres (pikmin?) and putting new twists on tired old gaming formulae (metroid). they're also using their hardware better - show me something on xbox that's better looking than metroid or Resident Evil 4.

anyway, my point is, nintendo are the ones pushing things forward. microsoft are just playing the usual yank "bigger is better" card, and obviously winning a fair few people over.

The X-Box might be good right...
but the game cube has MONKEY BALL.
That's like the most addictive game ever!

I wouldnt really go as far as saying that, its basically a strategy game, like that old soldier game, think it was called cannon fodder. Its even just like C&C in a way. Its hardly ground breaking.

Fat Pete · 27th March 2003, 03:09 PM

pikmin is nothing bloody like c & c or cannon fodder! the conrol system, for one thing, is entirely different to those kind of games. and when was the last time C&C let you throw one of your soldiers at a big flying guy, to knock the liquid he was carrying out of his hands, so that the soldier could drink the liquid and grow a flower on his head? the only similarity is that you send a bunch of guys into battle, but again fighting is completely different in both games. you don't actually give the pikmin direct orders, they're just animals you kinda...shove in the right direction. it's more like a farming sim or something. so you can go sook a fart oot meh arse.

Master Eiko · 27th March 2003, 03:10 PM

well it still is quite similair. the basics of it are the same.

Fat Pete · 27th March 2003, 03:13 PM

meh. okay it IS a strategy game, but it has it's own magical little sub-genre.
