We are all biased.

We can't help it, it's natural to speak well of the things we like.

But it's one thing to be biased, another entirely to be ignorant.

You can scream from the rooftops how much you love your Nintendo, Sega, Playstation or whatever. Fine. Just don't start on the Nintendo is crap for kids, Playstation games are all the same crap without a little knowledge to go with it.

Rather that just insisting that your own console is the best, why not take a look at what the competitors have to offer. You might find that it will actually be better for you.

Well if it keeps going in that direction then it might even rach the port where Nintendo are launching the Gamecube.

:-D

Sony ahs managed to fix the rudder on the PS2 and it has finally set sail in the correct direction. The stars have been aligned above it's brow and the wind of popularity and temptation push it ever closer to finding the gaming holy grail!!

Yep, but it always turns out that they were right in the end.

I've been reading them for 3 years.

If they say a console isn't too good then it isn't too good.

Still, on the DC's launch they said that Sega was messing up left right and centre. It was only a year later when they announced that the DC had matured to become the best console to buy right now.

Who knows, the PS2 might still turn out to be good...

On the subject of the N64.

If the N64 is a 'kiddie's console' that you grow out of, then I hope I never grow up.

And that's all I've got to say about that!

The only ones who shouldn't be biased are multiformat gaming mags and they rarely are.

Poor old Digitiser can not win though.

They pointed out that the Saturn was dead. Millions of Sega fans wrote in calling them biased.

They pointed out that PC's crash. Billions of PC owners wrote in calling them biased.

They refused to give Zelda: Orcarina of Time 100%, giving it only 96% instead (LOL!) and billions of Nintendo owners moaned at them for THAT! (This was before I got an N64)

When they pointed out that the DC's launch was a mess, every single Sega fan got out the pen and paper.
When a year later they pointed out that the DC was now the best console to own, every one else wrote in saying that they're unfairly biased towards Sega.

Now it's the PS2 owners turn to moan as Digitiser continually tells them that bar one or two nice games, the PS2 isn't that good.

They just can't win... :-D
