With Halo, Project Gotham Racing and Grabbed by the Gholies.
It's a bloody chunky thing isn't it.
I haven't got LIVE yet but I might not, I'm not entirely sure this is a good purchase. I've played all 3 games a bit but I keep going back to Second Sight on the Gamecube.
As a Gamecube owner I do miss a really good First Person shooter, and as great as Timesplitters is the idea of owning Halo was something I couldn't resist. I also miss out on realistic racing games as a Gamecube owner.
The sad thing is, now I've played 2 games that are the top of their genre I now feel slightly empty.
For starters Project Gotham is a good racing title but I've never really been able to enjoy these sort of games.
Grabbed by the Gholies is as crap as I remember.
I played Halo for a bit but I've come to realise that this is just another FPS. And one that doesn't have the depth of Perfect Dark either. It is the finest all round FPS of this generation but it doesn't do anything special at all. In fact at times I felt the urge to play Metroid Prime, something I haven't done in an age.
Anyway enough about the criticism, I'm sure I'll get into all of the above games and I'm sure I'll enjoy Blinx, The Suffering, Jet Set Radio: Future and whatever else my mate plans to lend me.
The console has 3 weeks to impress or it goes back. Mainly because of my 30 day no quibble return policy.

Ah now it's 'an argument'? :D
I'm sorry I've tried to be subtle about letting you in on the joke but I'm obviously not being quite obvious enough. :D
Ok, at what point did you think I was being serious? Would that be the part where you 'assumed' I was flipping out over you saying I had 'no taste'? or perhaps later on?
and at any point reading the later posts and indeed the 'get a life Dringo' post or whatever it said did your mind not consider the possibility that I was infact being a bit of a wind-up merchant as you have seen many times before?
Anyway, do please keep arguing as one of us is and the other has infact never been but has found the whole thing very amusing despite the predicted response being about 24 hours later than expected. :D
NEXT!

Oh the irony.
Online my Nintendoness is exentuated but you'd be surprised how little Nintendo has to do with my day to day business. I buy on average a game a month and a magazine once a month.
I never discuss games down the pub, the only geeky thing I ever discuss are literature. Being a English lit student.
Go away Hedfix, I really hate it when people start losing an argument so bring out the "get a life" or "get some friends" argument.
Again like my brother.
But I see there is no competition to the biggest X-box fanboy.

Oh right, so you have time to listen to all that music as well? Heh! Sounds like you spend even less time breathing outside air than the most devoted gamer!
As for me admitting I'm a huge Nintendo fan. That doesn't mean I don't do owt other than play Nintendo games. Like yourself I play Xbox, I listen to music. I read, I socialise. I don't take things like this seriously. Infact, this is causing me much pleasure. I'll be laughing at this whilst sat in work tomorrow earning some money.

Ah like assumptions such as me 'flipping out'?

Heh and you could just be saying you actually do other things beside creaming over Nintendo's latest whatever. Utterly pointless, but never the less very funny.
