I can deny it, simply because I'm not disappointed with mine.

As none of those appeal to me, and many PS2 titles do, yes I can. A 'good game' is a matter of personal opinion.

I can deny that. I'm pleased with my purchase.

Try ZOE. Amazing graphics, amazing gameplay, a multiplayer mode and another emotional and beautiful storyline from Hideo Kojima. Also, StarFighter is a great game as well. And Red Faction.

Yes, I can actually. None of those apart from Goldeneye appeal to me. I guess it's down to taste. And have you given any reasons why they're better?? No, not really.

Can you really blame me?

Well, I guess it comes down to taste. And the programming isn't that bad according to Hideo Kojima-developers just need to get used to it. I'm afraid you've blown everything way out of proportion.

Very well said TheMorrigan. My thoughts exactly, just you managed to write them down and I did not. Keep posting. You seem to be a sensible gamer.

You cannot and should not deny that the launch up to now of the supposed 'Behemoth' is a general dissapointment.
How on earth can any one deny that it is not? for a start we have yet to see an outstanding game released for the the system.
And please don't go on about such games as- Z.O.E, SSX and Starfighter, please dont! can you really compare them to titles such as Super Mario 64, Legend of Zelda:OoT, Goldeneye and Shenmue? can you?...No you cant!

The reason being is that these stunner's are titles that many would describe as AAA Title's.
NONE so far Exist on the PS2 and for that reason alone the game situation of the console is an absolute travesty.

It's not as if We are just biased 'Ninty', 'PC' fans either, a good deal of us are Mature adults who make these comments, people who have played in the glory days of the Spectrum, Commodore, Amstrad, MasterSystem and onwards.

It is dissapointing all this doom and gloom, I would like to see a resonable price drop for the console(Im looking forward to MGS2) but other than that there hasn't been 'Anything' that has enticed me to the console today.
