After a poor launch thanks to Sonys lack of great games..bar SSX.I have finally realised my mistakes by not buying it at launch,I apologise to all you members who have bought one and have stuck with it through all the comments made by other members(i was one of them).But i finally see that it is a great console,so much so i bought one and I think it is amazing.Sure it hasnt had the quality titles it promised but these commin months should seal those comments in a bag and pack them off to Cuba.

I mean,Developers have had the time to develope some class games but so many have failed to deliver but now we are starting to see the 2nd generation ps2 titles and they are the nuts.ZOE was good but didnt have tat edge which people needed,and Starfighter was good but never apealed to everyone.Extermination is one of the first to show off what the ps2 can really do.I have played this for over 4 hours and it is a great game which is on par with resi evil games.It has great graphics and has a feel to the game that just makes your heart beat a little faster.The ps2 needed a survival horror title because there hasnt been a vast quantity of adventure games.The only one that springs to mind that was any good was Rayman Revolution.Extermination is out now.

Other titles to grace the system soon is one of my favoutrite looking games which is the Bouncer.It hast had the best of time with the critics but i love the streets of rage series and this looks like a blend of simialr action.People have said it has the best graphics so far on the ps2,i agree if you look at the screen shots,they look amazing.The detail and enviorments all look stunning.It looks like a game to beat all the aggression out of your body.And i cant wait for this little gem to be released.

Everyones choice and a dead cert of generating high sales,is the best racing game ever.Gran Turismo 3.It boasts a new level of realism in the rcing genre.You dont control a Nissan Skyline,your in a skyline.It is that realsitic.As long as it keeps the relaistic handling,you wont hear any complaints from me.

Another Key release for The ps2 is Red Faction which is a futuristic first person shooter,although it hasnt had the hype of other ps2 titles,it looks like one of those quiet hits.It has the gameplay elements of half life and the graphics of unreal tournament.Sounds good?.ohhhhh yes it does and i certainly will be addding it to my collection come june 22nd.

There are many more quality titles comming this month and beyond,but even if your a die hard Nintendo fan or a Sega fan,you have to agree the ps2 is comming into its own and it rolling out those great titles.The future is indeed bright for ps2 owners,after all these games,were gonna need a rest becasue solid snake comes back!!

well i am defintly getting a Gamecube, thats witout a shadow of a doubt. but i wont be gettin a GBA straight away. Its a bit too expensive for my liking. i might get one next year though to go with my Cube, just for the link up capabilities.

Yep, none of my nintendo consoles have failed either. i have a Snes, N64 and a GBC. i still play on my snes just for mario kart. The game is coming on ten years old but it still has solid gameplay. i only really played on the GBC for pokemon. i bought pokemon blue and yellow and loved them! i havnt got into the gold and silver phase yet though.

i still play on the 64 quite a bit though. My most played games are ISS 98, Perfect Dark and 1080 at the moment. My brother has a psone but we only really use it to play ISS pro evolution.

I never had a NES, although I played on my mates NES and became a Mario2 addict...NES games were expensive compared to Commodore64 cassettes. Lots of cool games, though you didnt miss much the 16bit era was by far the most innovative.

Yeah I dont think I was old enough to be able to fully get the most out of or completely enjoy a NES since I was still very small. But I got a SNES then a N64 and a Gameboy and a GameBoy Color, and I'm getting a GBA and a GC.

I also own a PSX and DC and did own a PS2 till I sold it. But that is only because

PSX: All my friends had one and had commented and boasted about it being so great and I now know that it isnt except for these exceptions FIFA, Driver 2, and FF series, oh and Harvest moon! Otherwise it is kept in a box under my bed until I get bored of playing Lylat Wars or Zelda or CBFD!

My DC was a present from my dad when he came back from USA so it is import!

And the PS2 I got was a chrimbo pres. from my Gdad for me and my brother but it completely broke down 3 times and I took it back.

So all of my Nintendo consoles have never failed and broken down and are the best and I have only ever missed one console the NES!

Im waiting until November when the Gamecube and X-box launch in the US, then Ill make a decision about what machine I want :-)

Luigis mansion on the Gamecube looks great, but then so does MetalGearSolid2 on the PS2 and X-box.
