On the Nintendo front. It seems after a mad blast if sweet titles everything has suddenly died a painful death for the time being. E3 was decent but that doesn't make up for a lack of releases in the mean time. I have scanned through the titles to be released however all the main ones are the back end of this year with the possible exception ofPikmin2which will hopefully be brought forward.

Haven't played my Cube since completing Metal Gear: Twin Snakes with LIVE and Ninja Gaiden taking up most of the playing time. My current Cube collection is pretty much complete with very little to nothing else worth getting at the moment, possibly Mario Golf will be my next purchase when they finally release it this summer.

So if anyone can enlighten me on decent release in the meantime I would much oblige.

Cheers!

I see what you are saying but in a true selfish manner, I don't care about anyone else. If I had to choose I would get the Xbox version due to the fact it is a better game, plus FFF made a point in another thread similar to this, there isn't anything now, it's all the future...

Oh and I am an ESPN man myself. ESPN NFL 2K4 + LIVE = godness.

LIVE is different to PC online gaming, for starters everyone either had a Mic or they basically get kicked. It's for sociable and despite the fact the games are still patched it still remains a different ball game to PC online gaming.

I was saying don't compare the games, you were the one constantly saying how much better the Xbox one was because of Online play.

Whether or not you've completed the games onthe Xbox, they're still big games coming out on the cube in the next few months. If they're not for you then fine, but I'm sure there's lots of people who can't find anything in the Xbox release schedule this summer to get excited about either, but there are still good games coming out.

Oh, and Madden 2005 comes out in August, and that's all I, or any of you, should care about.

I'm still not to sure about online gaming. Experianced players are always so pessimistic when a new player wants to join a game or room. I reckon I would be discrimanted against heavily if i was to try and join a RS3 or counterstrike game for the fist time.

I enjoy some online gaming through my PC. Games such as Worms 2 and FIFA can be great fun as there arent too many people in those rooms I find an its easy to start a game quickly and easily without having to wait around for people to join or arguments to start over people being selected to play.

No but you didn't say that, hence the reason why I asked you which one.

Nore did I. I merely said you can't compare the games across both platforms as the Xbox versions are far superior and not just from a technical point of view. I was merely pointing out how many top games have been released recently and none of them for the Cube, even when it does see a Cube release it won't have the draw of online play which for me was the reason why I bought both in the first place. I would have done and dusted and sold on the games if it wasn't for this.

The last level I finished was Import/Export. I can tell you the positions of all the red barrels if you want me too!

If you raise the attention in the 4th mission they kill the hostage in the bathroom.

I'm not saying that it doesn't, I'm just saying that because the games aren't online, it doesn't mean that they're not valid releases.
