Perhaps I'm turning Gay. I dunno.

What I do know is that I haven't got this excited over game releases since the launch of the Gamecube. And that's a long time.

Resident Evil 4 and Timesplitters 3 are being released either on the same day or a week apart... 2 of my most anticipated games of the year coming to me at once. I just hope Mario Tennis and Jungle Beat can sustain me through the coming weeks!

Starfox Assault is also due rather soon and that is also a game I am really anticipating.

Anyone else getting caught up in the whole hype wheel??

I mean then there's Geist, and Viewtiful Joe 2, and The Legend of Zelda...

2005 is gonna be a good, good year.

2005 is, like, the best year ever.
Ever.

I going to be one big pile of jism near Zelda time.
Until then ... just lots of large patches.

Well Resident Evil 4 and Mario Tennis are my top priorities. Closely followed by Timesplitters 3. It will be a good couple of months :) Resi 4 has me the most excited though.

Resi 4 and TimeSplitters: Future Perfect will definately have to be got on the day or day before release.

2005 will indeed be a great year, lots of Cube and DS games that are must-buys. I'm just hoping Zelda won't slip.


And there's no such game as TimeSplitters 3 :P

Mario Tennis and Future Perfect soon.

Starfox hopefully sometime soon, although it'll probably get hefty delays as usual.

Then Zelda, Resi 4 and Madden latter on in the year.

Mario Tennis is both good and bad.

The good: the main tennis mode is almost exactly the same as the N64 version. Great multiplayer.

The bad: the main tennis mode is almost exactly the same as the N64 version. Stupendously annoying power shots and a host of awful "gimmick" courts in place of more regular courts or better tournament modes. Single player tournaments are a bit dull.

Mario Tennis is crap.
As Bejam said, the power shot animations are really annoying. See you could be in the middle of a great rally, and then it takes you to a cut-scene?
Pish.

It hasn't done too well with critics either. Shame.

The coolest ISP ever!
In my opinion, the ISP is the best I have ever used. They guarantee 'first time connection - everytime', which they have never let me down on.
Many thanks!!
