The wonderful powers that be (so Ali and crew) have deemed my very first 2 walkthrough's GAD worthy. And I'm flattered. BUT stumped at the same time. You see I've been trawling through new releases and past releases and do not have a clue what to choose as my double whammy prizes.

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.

Ubisoft Montreal developed Splinter Cell and Rainbow Six 3. Ubisoft without the montreal team are drastically average.

NGC said it smelt of Goldeneye or something similar.

It's Beyond Good and Evil and Prince of Persia from Ubi soft I'm watching out for.

And a cheap version of splinter Cell.

RAinbow six... errrrrrr.

Maybe when I get an X-box.

It's looking superb and if you look at Ubi Soft's recent record of making quality adult-orientated games (Deathrow, Rainbow Six 3, Ghost Recon and Splinter Cell) it's doubtful that XIII will be anything but the best saved for last.

The new Goldeneye/Perfect Dark? Quite possibly.

I enjoyed True Crime round my mates not as good as GTA though in terms of depth and things to do. Sonic's not out till next year... not a big Sonic fan.

I don't get the point of re-releasing Rogue Squadron considering that is basically what Rogue Squadron 2 is.... a big updated version of Rogue Squadron and Numero 3 is a further update with multiplayer, on foot missions and jet bike.

XIII won game of the show at E3 or something, plus it does look great.

Star Wars... hmm. I'll get the triple pack that is supposedly coming to Xbox, but that's because it would have a next gen version of Rogue Squadron, and of course great value for (in your case free) money.

But on the GC, one game, at full price, or full GAD, it doesn't appeal to me quite so much.

Or you could just claim Sonic. You know you want too. And by the looks of things True Crime is pretty poor.

Hmmmmm the thing is I'm unsure about all of them.

Star Wars played before not a mega fan... True Crime looks a laugh but how long before I get bored.... Billy Hatcher... do I really have time to play.

I'll take another look at NGC and gander through the release list.

Get XIII. Then take a risk on something you are not sure if you would like or not.

I had doubts about KOTOR, but I claimed it as a GAD and loved it sooo much.

Except Galleon has once again dissapeared of the release list so why would I want to do that?

I would do if it was still due.

Get XIII.

And I suggest you put your money where your mouth is and get Galleon aswell since you seem to love it so much. :P
