"TURN OF THE CRITICS"

We've all criticised major games corporations at some stage, and right now more than ever people are taking jabs at the big money companies currently producing the so called "next gen" consoles.

But, what is it you'd do differently if you were head of the company?

Bill Gates's vision of X-Box has been crumbling, or so we're told, recently, and in the views of many he seems to be fighting a losing battle.

So, what would you do to revoloutionise, or at least add to the games industry right now? Within the realms of reality, what would you add to a games company that would bring something new to the world of gaming?

Show your 'real' knowledge of the games industry, show why you really could make the head of the next major games company.

What's X-Box?
Gamecube?

Sounds like Tron to me.

Yeah, but if Gates could also take control of the console industry, he'd be in an even more powerful position.

He wants the XBox to succeed as much as anyone.

Sounds like a flash version of Jet Pac on the VIC-20 to me! :-)

Nws just in! The University of Abertay has gone backupt, turning around millions of young, hopeful students. Unconfirmed reports suggest that a large amount of calls to an 0870 number were to blame. An internal investigation has been launched to determine the cause of this crisis.

Yep, the University of Abertay was given an Xbox by the Depute charman of the Xbox prject, Steve Gibson, who is from Dundee. That was nice of them wasn't it!!

I read somewhere that he still had a say on whether it goes ahead or not.

When the Xbox project was launched he was still the CEO!!
