I thought that until I went on Live. PC online gaming and XBox Live are just miles apart. It's just normal people playing Xbox Live who don't cheat and don't sit in front of a TV all day. Sure there's a fair few c*cks, but you just need to ignore them.

That shows me you're taking the same stance as I would have about 6 months ago before I properly experienced Xbox Live.

I'm growing into the townie factor because I'm fed up of having to deal with a rubbish company who say they care about computer games, but when it comes down to it, they treat their fans like something they just yanked off their shoe?
Don't be so retarded. I'm still looking forward to Mario Kart and 1080 amongst others, but I haven't touched my Cube for months because of the lack of intresting games.

Having a mate over to have a blast on Timesplitters 2 or Super Monkey Ball 2 is the single best thrill I get outta games these days... tis great.
I am a bit of a geek sitting on the computer so much for example but online gaming is just too far right now... I don't care about image but I really can't stand all these cheating, untrustworthy... "online friends"...
> I don't know how anyone can 'outgrow' computer games.
It doesn't mean getting more mature. When you grow up you lose interest in some things and gain interest in others. I have outgrown games a bit and moved into the film sector... It's just a form of changing. Tilt has outgrown Nintendo... he's mind has altered to the point that he has had to transfer from Nintendo to a different style... It'll happen again in a few years.

I've been playing Hitman 2, Splinter Cell, Wario Ware, Product Number: 03, Dead to Rights and next week Soul Calibur 2 since the release of Zelda.

Viewtiful Joe, Worms 3D, F Zero next month. Mario Kart, Tony Hawks underground, Simpsons hit and run, Star Wars rogue squadron 3, Code Veronica, Billy Hatcher the giant egg, Mario Golf, and XIII in november. Mario Party 5, Sonic Heroes, Galleon in December.

Agreed they should be spending the money into releasing games over here quicker.

Online games are the biggest geeky ridden piece of crap I have ever played on... it drives me insane I feel like a right loser. I hate online play on my PC, on my dads X-box and my brothers PS2... and considering all companies are making a loss with online I hardly think I should care. Admittidly they'll have a base built up when online gaming does make it big but online Nintendo games will be far better than the competiton. Shame I won't be buying them.

It... IS... CRAP!

I guess you're just growing in a different way... into the townie factor.
They're very good, yes, but some are utter guff and few are excellent.

I think the Bond Films set is way ahead of them personally.
About 16 films ahead. :D

Awww. That sucks.
Bets it's because they're sick of losing. ;)
I admit some types of games I've lost interest in now, but there are so many others.
