Here is what I've been considering:
XIII
VERY tempted heard many good things, what do you think?
Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg
I just love platformers and this looks far superior to the upcoming multi-format Sonic game.
True Crime: Streets of LA
I visited a mates house today who showed me it and I'm highly impressed! Looks like it could get tiresome but not too sure.
Star Wars Rogue Squadron 3: Rebel Strike
After owning all Factor 5's star wars flight games (including the other 2 Squadron's and Battle for Naboo) this seems like the obvious choice. Just I don't seem to love them like everyone else seems to. Nevertheless if the new updates are great then I should give it a go.
There be the options, don't mention 1080 it will be purchased myself from this special reserve establishment. Go on... help.
> Mario Kart...
Got it.
Hmmmm Billy seems attractive....
The time for decision has come and I think Star Wars may have just won it!
> go for Billy Hatcher.
Nooo! Don't get Billy Hatcher, it's rubbish. Even if you like platformers, yes the egg's a nice twist, but it doesn't stop it being medicore.
If you haven't had a decent first-person shooter since TimeSplitters 2, loved GoldenEye, and are looking for a good single-player experience after Mario Kart and F-Zero, I'd say go for XIII.
But if you've been playing a lot of "serious" games lately, or you're still in the mood for something "fun" after Mario Kart and Hit & Run - but still want something NEW - go for Billy Hatcher.
The choice is yours.
And I haven't included the new Star Wars game because, basically, I don't know schmitt-diddly about it. :)
;-)
Anyway. Rebel Strike and XIII.
Seems dodgy.
Even if it is true then it is a year away, so many games between now and then. But if it does turn out to be true then there will be a decent game on our hands, and you may well have slipped to the dark side by that point :-p.
