"Splinter Cell was Multi-platform from the beginning."

Well Well then it appears that Splinter Cell the so called Xbox exclusive was infact a multi platform game from the very beginning and infact the developers actually wanted to make sure they could achieve the same level of detail on the PS2 and GC games otherwise they would have never have started the project.

Infact the PS2 version has extras, that are geared more towards the PS2 user as they demand more and have higher skill level, not my words but the actual developers comments.

Then again I can imagine that it's a hard game for Xbox users because of their poorly designed controllers.

It depends if you're a putrid, brain dead festering little filth monkey who's head can only register blood and violence as a good game because it's the boys modern perception of 'cool' and your rabid little bum boys will call you nasty names if you admit to liking anything that does't involve killing people in a very, very poor imitation of real life.

And you *founded* that category.

Correction, he can play games providing all he has to do is run around hitting things with a stick. Anything else just goes way over his head.

Face it, Top Score, you can't play games if you got bored of Mario in a day.

Well that is 6 days longer than Mario, let's face it when you play a platform they are good first time round however they have no real replay value.

Driver is GTA3 with everything removed except driving the cars.

And GTA3 got boring in a week

You mean, it was the first "avoid the cops" racing game?

I think you will find that you are greatly, greatly mistaken.

Monkey Ball isn't the most original idea in the world, but it did take what was a superbly original game in its time and give it "the works".

Driver was the first game of that sort (i think). Crazy taxi was sort of similar, but not as good in my opinion. With GTA3, we got the full works with "proper" exploration and a great deal of detail. GTA-VC adds some more details (ie, the cops have got the stinger to get your tyres), improves the graphics a bit, and changes the location. Screen shots of Driver 3 look very nice - but we will have to wait and see if the final product lives up to that standard.

As for the Getaway, it's good, but not as impressive as I had hoped. Perhaps with the Getaway 2 it will finally match the promise of the first one.

Wibble.

Driver hmmmmm

"The Police are after you quick drive, drive like you've never driven before"

"Right i've escaped the cops, what now?"

"Ummmmmmm another level of doing the exact same thing but in a different locastion"

"WOW this isn't gonna get boring, not one bit"
