"Got my X-box"

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.

Mad Dash is better than DKR

Well I won't argue... not because you're right but because you've got a larger axe than me.

When you declare yourself a big fan of something then that is genuinly what it is... if you own more stuff (which I doubt) then all it means is you have more money.

Nothing to do with anything.

Although I do travel around to play Gamecube games and see Miyamoto.

That's because I'm not a complete fanboy about it :P

I still consider myself as one of Nintendos biggest fans.

Blinx is pants.

Fín.

Oh and, to be slightly frightening, I've seemingly stopped playing my X-box as well as Gamecube game Second Sight.

I've returned to Pikmin and playing that again. I know I shouldn't but I just felt compelled to play it.

Also I bought my X-box with my 3 games for £110...

I've been offered £120 for it... think I'm going to accept that offer and get the beast again nearer the release of Conker.

Um both of those games are legendary... Diddy Kong Racing was an enjoyable title... but those are simply superb games.

Good as in Burnout 2 good or... Splinter CEll good.
