"swaps?"

These day’s a lot of companies are giving away games to each other and that doesn’t seem too bad but I think it could get a little bit out of hand. Some games from the dreamcast are going to the ps2, the Xbox and the Gamecube and there is no relevance to it. For instance I heard that house of the dead three is going to the Xbox and I am pretty upset because we don’t even know if it’s coming for the DC and why should a game made by Sega for years be put onto Microsoft’s Xmachine and it really takes the biscuit. Also another crazy taxi game is coming for the Xbox but it might not come out for the DC.

Personally I think it is a good idea for games companies to give each other some games but when they start to give away their best games, which make the console what it is you start to get slightly frustrated. You buy a console depending on what games you like and argue with other console owners who’s console is better and giving away brilliant games to each other means that most consoles might be the same soon which is a shame as we all have different tastes.

I was happy that Sega were giving their software business a boost and giving crazy taxi to the playstation 2 as a sign of friendship but now they seem to have started handing them out. In my opinion sega are the company that produces the most original and fun games to play and in a way it would be weird if the Xbox’s best games were from sega and sega were the ones who made the Xbox what it is. Just think how smug Bill Gates would be if the Xcarboardbox succeeded and gave themselves the credit for Sega’s work.

Again I am all for the idea of companies giving games to each other and if a good ps2 game came to the DC then I would buy it but It could get to the point when a consoles performance no longer depends on the solo effort made by the company that built the machine in the first place.

Oops, sorry!

I need money to fund my GC project... better start selling my N64 games!

I'm gonna sell: Wrestlemania 2000, No Mercy, Zelda: OOT, Star Wars Racer (hang on haven't I already sold that?!) Worms Armageddon, Michael Owens World League Soccer (Why the HELL did I buy that? It's rubbish!) and Premier Manager 64.

That leaves me with : Mario kart 64, Super Mario 64, ISS2000, Wave Race, Star Wars Battle for Naboo and Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine (When it comes out)

That should give me about... errr 40 quid? Hmmm, have to do I suppose...

Theres been quite a few good games out for the DC, how about Daytona or skies of arcadia. What about Phantasy Star?

I could always play my PS2, no??

Time_warp, just to let you know i've got a dc!! And there hasn't beena decent game for a few months, all the other games are getting put back and even the exclusives are being ported to the PS2, Headhunter anyone??

Exactly right M16!

The DC is dead come March next year.

Still, at least we can still play all the quality games we already have!

The DC is not dead. it is only dead to those who do not have one and have no idea!
