Prince of Persia 2: The Warrior Within
Following on from an awesome original, this sequel has expanded the combo's and upped the gore levels. It ran very smoothly on the console versions. The prince still has the powers of the sands of time, and I only played a 35% complete version - but well.. this game just looks superb and I'm really looking forward to it

Halo 2:
Well, the only reason I'm still keeping my Xbox, after lending it to Hybrid-Halo for a huge number of months is this game, and I played it for about 45mins. To be honest guys, I know you all can't wait for this game, but its not that great... especially compared to the likes of Doom3. Infact, compared to Doom3, Halo 2 isn't actually fun, its more like a chore, and the only reason I continued to play it was for a cool gaming moment. Sure, its more realistic, and I'm only talking about the multi-player mode I blazed on for near an hour. Its just more of the same, and again.. compared to Doom 3.... Roll on Half Life 2 I guess?

Playboy: The Game
Hehe, well I couldnt turn down going into the little Playboy Mansion that was built now could I? Interesting game, you can arrange photoshoots with
Playboy girls and you have to manage the whole Playboy empire including the magazines etc. A lot like a mix between The Sims and Sim City. Suprisingly, I was quite impressed... although I was being shown the game by two playbunnies.

Burnout 3:
Really great fun, they've improved the realism and I guess the current consoles are now finishing their run in the market, they seem to have made Burnout 3 the most realistic of all the racing games. It's a great drive and the crashes you can simulate now. Well you can crash and still continue depending on your cars damage! Great

Metroid Prime 2:
Mostly superb stuff by Nintendo, but sadly its more of the same hit and miss combination of controls incorporated into the first Metroid Prime. The audience will be very divided by this title, but the multiplayer was very Goldeneye esque. And the graphics are up there with the likes of Halo 2. However, I'm very biased towards the Metroid series, as I think the storylines are deep and immersive. Hence the preview rating being upped a few

Timesplitters 3 :Future Perfect
I thought TS2 was an excellent game, I still play it well passed its release and its a console FPS that is built to work on a console, and not try and be a PC fps. It's fun, arcadey and just insane in the multiplayer modes. I walked into the booth to play it with baited breath. All the regular characters were their, throwing themselves through portals and the whatnot. They seem to have introduced a more arcade Time Crisis feel to the series, the graphics have had a new overhaul and I'm really really looking forward to picking this up on release date.
Excellent series! Well worthy of having a couple of sequels.

Ubisoft and Nintendo put on the best shows and best booths. Crowded with people throughout the three days. After a extensive play earlier this summer of the NintendoDS - I'm really looking forward to that handhelds release... but that consoles another story!
Hope you enjoyed some of those reads :)

Ubi-soft don't actually make that many games themselves, they do publish a lot and if you are going on what they publish then PS2 wins. But they only publish games the developer wants to make titles for.
Ubi-soft published Harvest Moon for the Gamecube, and are publishing a Final Fantasy game as well.
The splinter cell's, the Prince of Persia's, the XIII's, The Rayman's, The BG&E's etc... all Gamecube bound.

If Burnout 3 does all will be well.
Oh yes.
Oh yes.
Splinter Cell 3 is coming to the Gamecube, it'll be confirmed at the beginning of next year as it always is.
IGN and Gamespot have it listed under Gamecube games.
Because it is coming.
Just as Burnout 3 probably will.

Far Cry I'll probably get on Xbox. My brother has it on PC and loves it. Though he says the multiplayer levels are crap.
As for Splinter Cell 3...I wont lose any sleep over it.

Far Cry and Splinter Cell 3 aren't coming to Cube as far as I know.
Dringo - I'm at a friends house at the moment, but I'll be home tomorrow. I'll get the DVD and list the games previewed over the 3 consoles.
I think the two Gamecube games were Prince Of Persia 2 and Ghost Recon 2. I don't remember if there was a third game or not, I'll check tomorrow.

Not neccessarily, it could be that halo 2 is just hyped up and the people who have actually played parts of it actually gave it a fairer review than a xbox fanboy would have. or it could be that somehow Playboy the game is actually a great game that can beat H2 in the ratings due to innovation and some originality of a sims type game.

What Ubi-soft games aren't coming to Gamecube exactly?
