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.

...and Dringo puts another Blink 182 CD on to try and forget the last girl that cruelly dumped him for someone who doesn't pleasure themselves over images of Mario and Luigi.
I play games mate, with friends. Collecting games? Why don't you just open up a coin/stamp collection while you're at it? :D

It doesn't matter if you have 1000 CD's, that is just diverting attention from your 100 X-box games. Which is frankly very very very sad. I was a massive N64 fan, and I thought 47 games was way too sad.
Girlfriends is nothing special either, so you've wooed the class idiot who no one likes. Who is going out with the class nerd cause she can't get anyone else. Fair enough.
Or more likely you invented her.

Is there 100 X-box games?
I can imagine Hedfix, going on X-box live all the time... crisps sent via Tesco Online by his side.... hasn't shaved, washed for weeks....
Or maybe he's like me and collects games.

This is fun (as usual):

Hmmmm well my girlfriend bought me the last couple of games as presents so you can take a wild guess at what I'm doing in a darkened room if you like but it ain't exactly gaming all the time.

Heh! Hedfix getting worked up over Nintendo fans when he has more than 100 Xbox games.
I wouldn't have the time to play or complete even half of them. I don't even have half that many GameCube games.
If I were making the same short-sighted comments as him I'd say he must spend a lot of his time couped up in a dark room playing them all. Which in turn is incredibly sad.
As for treating Nintendo as a religion. I don't worship Nintendo. I'm just a fan of theirs.

Indeed I listen to music more than than I play games. I confess I am a Nintendo geek, but hey that's just who I am. I also have a social life, many friends, have had my fair share of female partners and a taste for Alcohol.
So I don't need no life.

That's nice.
So who was the biggest Nintendo to$$meister in the end?
Isn't it time you faced east and praised Shigsy for the fourth time today?
