"E3? All I`ve heard is rubbish!"

There have been endless topics started about E3. I have read some of them, and though many were well written (Thinking of Meka and er-no here) I couldn`t help but wonder if any of it was true. Stories vary wildly everywhere. PS2 supporters saying that PS2 won the show, one or two people saying X-box did, and a fair few saying that GC did.

The GC had the advantage of a new console to show, and some new titles. X-box tried that too, but made a less big impression. In all this, it was forgotten who was really showing the true power.

I actually got fed up of reading about E3, as it was clear nobody had "won". Anyway, I saw an interesting article in the IGN newsletter, and decided to give it a read. After finishing it, I was left thinking that it must have been in the PS2 section, as there was clearly a large amount of respect for it. However, I looked left, and saw the large green/black colour stripes of the X-box, and realised I was in the X-box news area.

Take a look here at one of the most honest reports I`ve ever read. This writer had the guts to criticise his own favoured console, (the x-box) not just the other.

The post you just read was when I hadn't read it.

BUT if you look closely, you'll see that I posted another one AFTER I'd read it.

Read it and I'm sure you'll agree with it!

Oops. getting confused between Dans here. You had read it, I saw your reply below. Its a point, but not one I agree with. Read it again. Your opinion (and mine) is not as balanced as the writer of an artickle, especially this one, who displays a formidable amount of understanding, honesty, and consideration.

As Wookiee Monster said, I really don`t think you bothered reading it did you.

Same goes for Notables.

Newbies do shut up with this crap talk or use the chatter FOG forum.

Yeah Gohan is gonna kick cell's butt, in about a month or 2 anyway!

It's official. My name is now 'Super Gohan' the most powerful being in the universe (soon).

I have been thinking about changing my name after I saw todays episode. I shall probably change it to Gohan, if it hasn't already been used.

YOU FELL IN LOVE WITH AN ANDROID!

HA HA!


I think you might want to call yourself Picollo and Tien for a bit ;-)

That is a good point, I can't really afford all three either. But some of my mates will most likely buy an Xbox or Gmaecube (as I am not planning to), so I'll just pop round theirs and play they're one. It's the same for them as well, and we always have good deathmatches or races etc.
So, essentially, we can still enjoy what all of the consoles have to offer.
