Ohhh!!! Not enough spaces!!

Anyway, thanks for info, I can't wait for Crazy Taxi!

Anyone know when Smackdown 3 is coming out???

Anyone got info on final fantasy xi.

Sorry about the lack of spaces, and the US date format, and after each game its genre. But thats what it was on the web sit but a lot clearer.

Final Fantasy 10 has a July 19th release in Japan. And maybe November over here.

Dont know about Final Fantasy 11, but worry about number 10 first, as 11 will be years away.

Smackdown 3 Ant, is scheduled for round about Summer time so I believe - Hopefully details and screenshots will start emerging soon!!

They still say late 2001/early 2002 for FFXI.

Just one year too long.

Must have taken ages to write that. Thing is, will those release dates stay that way with the companies being the way they are ? I think not ! They have a habit of building us up then kicking us in the veg :-(

How many more times Will Gran Turismo 3 slip ? Theres so much coverage of MGS2 that the mags will totally spoil a lot of the game for us before it ever comes out ! Its like we're finding out everything to do with it, in the end there'll be no surprises left.

Nope GT3 will not slip as it is OUT NOW well in Japan. Also MGS2 will not get spoiled for us as Konami are keeping it under closed doors. So this means from now on until the release gets very close and they have to send out review copys, there will be NO new shots, information or anything like that. So at release it will be a complete suprise to us gamers and the games magazines.
