"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.

DKR was exellent. Pakiderm the elephant "Would you like to have a race?"

'Top quality' next to Mario World on the SNES yes.

'Top quality' next to OOT? No.

Mario Kart was better yes...

But DKR was still a top quality title.

The single player wasn't my idea of fun, but I respected the innovative approach even though it didn't appeal to me.

The multiplayer COULD have been excellent but was sloppily done. Mickey's Speedway's multi was better but MK was easily 1000 times better.

Single player was excellent but the multiplayer sucked much ass.

Thought it was quite pathetic myself and not a patch on MK.

Then again Mickey's Speedway was also utter crap.

Would be nice to see Rare make a decent racer.

Diddy Kong Racing was excellent.

I quite enjoyed Pocket tales and Diddy Kong Racing.

Cleary I said that... in some way.
