I was at first very excited about the prospect of the 'next generation' in console gaming. The Dreamcast was just on the horizon and looking very nice indeed with Sonic Adventure looking to match the excellence of Super Mario 64 and a wealth of quality software developers and publishers on board.
The announcement of the Game boy Advance also sent many a shudder down my spine and the first screen shots from the line up of lauch games confirmed why I loved games so much. I have been a loyal follower of the Dreamcast since day one and have enjoyed hour after hour of awesome quality gaming with the likes of Resident Evil Code: Veronica, Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio, Phantasy Star Online, Chu Chu Rocket, the under rated Sega GT and the Spectacular Shenmue.
But the world of gaming was set to get even stronger with the launch of Nintendo's next gen machine 'Gamecube', let's face it the N64 had some great titles on it but it never lived up to expectations. Things looked very rosey indeed.
But then things took a turn for the worse and boy did things get bad from thereafter. A big cloud decended over the games market, a cloud that threatened to ruin gaming by sucking out any last drop of originality that was left.
This cloud was to be called Playstation 2 and promised us hungry gamers Ridge racer 407 with new tires and an extra extension to a painfully familiar course with every new edition that was thrown onto the shelves.
Do we need this? do we need tekken 12? do you really want to play Tomb raider 12 when you already have 9, 10 and 11?, PS2 promises to be the home of tired sequals and due to the difficulties thay developers are having making games for it, we are going to experiece long gaps between half decent games.
My advice to you serious gamers out there? it may be too late to save the Dreamcast but wait to see what Nintendo and Microsoft have up their sleeves before throwing you money do the drain in exchange for what could possibly be the most depressing excuse ever for a console, thank you and goodnight my fellow gamers

A friend of mine put it down to virtually instantaneous retype on one of the library PCs. It is so fast that you can`t type in the commands to reset it. Despite being a master with the keyboard and mouse, he couldn`t do it and had to reset the whole system!

I think that is certainly a fair point, though hopefully the advances in technology from PSone to 2 will justify the release of GT3.
