"X-Box - Pah!"

I just don't think the X-Box will get all that much support...Sega maybe, but even money won't buy the help of Capcom and Konami...they have reputations to think of...We want games, there are enough cheapish DVD and CD plavers systems thingys in the world without adding them to something that should play games! Microsoft are going with the Irish...backwards...hence the Irish comment..(No offence)...

The Gamecube will deliver what people want, a cheapish console, great titles, purely for games a reliable system and lots of fun, what will microsoft bring, a few £1 Million lawyers and a case against Nintendo to say they aren't being fair...

The GBA is ace, the Gamecube will be, the X-Box is doomed for failure....and all because 'it is crap'...

Heh, tut tut..
I'm meant to be up in 4 hours, better go

Me too, I was generalising :-)

Still skulking around FM? Thought I was deserted..

(btw, I know 2 girls who can take on anyone at most games, and not just through button bashing)

Too right Pagey, my 6 year old nephew stuggles with Pokemon Blue a lot on his Gameboy, and my 8 year old niece doesn't have much luck either (but she's a girl, what do girls know about gaming...)

So they get Uncle FantasyMeister to help them out sometimes, and even I get stuck on the game. Maybe they should say 8+, but 30+ to finish it...

You know Pokémon games aren't aimed at five year olds. On the boxes it says for ages 8 and up! I'm not surprised considering Pokémon takes a lot of thought and strategy to finish or get anywhere.

Same one, but I don't know if the original huskies are still in it or not.

Remember the bit with the blood in the petri dish? That was a scary jumpy moment...

THE THING

As in Kurt Russel, John Carpenter, '82 classic and the blond one off vid's alleged favourite film of all time?

I wasn't sure if Metal Gear X was canned on the X-Box or not, can anyone clarify that?

;-)

I only say it about the games.
