Well, where are they?
I have noticed that hardly any games at all have been coming out. OK, so GT3 was released a week a go, but lately, there hasn't been many other good games to buy.
Let's have a deeper look at this. What has been released lately on the PS2: Red Faction, Onimusha, GT3 and ATV Offroad Fury are four must have games that I can think of that have been released in the last couple of monthes. That's FOUR, unless anyone else can think of anymore. There have been fairly average games poping up, such as Escape From Monkey Island and The Bouncer, but not many, noy many at all. Where have all of the games gone?
When I went down town to see what new games had arrived to our stores, I managed to find one lousey game, that new music generator game that I have forgotten the name of. I was a little disappointed. It's not that I am bored with the games that I own, far from it, but I like to see more and more good games arriving, giving more choice of what game to buy next.
I was thinking of buying a Gameboy Advance, but for the past couple of weeks, I haven't noticed many new games coming out. When I walk into shopw such as Dixons and V.Shop, I don't notice any new GBA games. I do still intend on buying one, but it has been out for a month, and the choice of games is still very similar to that of launch day.
There are several brilliant games heading our way in the future, but there is that word, FUTURE. Some may be closer than I think, but a lot are being released in the distant future. There are Playstation 2 games that I am waiting for such as the new ISS and MGS2, and I am also waiting for some new GBA games to appear on the shelves before I decide to but the GBA.
And the release of the other two 128-bit consoles isn't until next year, over here at least anyway. The games for both of these cosnoles look top quality, but this is where that word pops up again 'FUTURE'.
I might be the only one that feels like this at the moment as PS2 owners are mighty happy with GT3 at the moment, and I doubt GBA owners are disappointed either. I just like to see good games appearing on a regular basis. I know, developers can't rush games otherwise we get a games that aren't as good as they could have, I suppose I just like to see a good game every Friday. Is that too much to ask?

Maybe I should just stop maoning then. I am pretty sure I can wait for those good games to arrive. Are there any in particular that you are looking forward. I am interested in the Final Fight and Dragonball Z if it comes out over here) games at the moment.

I really don't care! I think the name Rasts is funny! You can call me what the hell you want! (within reason)
RBS, Rasts and Chris are all fine by me!

Actually, will rasts do? I don't want to hold shift while typing his (any anyone else's) name.
Actually SG, I don't own a GBA (saving for the GC :-D), but I play on one regulary.
At the moment, considering it's only been around for a month, I think the selection of games is actually very good. It's a hell of a lot more than the N64 when that was launched, more than the PS2 at launch and more than the Dreamcast at launch.

I am happy with the games that I have at the moment, and I am still playing them, I suppose I just like to have a good amount of games to choose from when I do go and buy another one.
