I just picked up a Preview/Demo disc from a certain shop of which I am tHeir Master and they know my Voice. ;)
Thought I'd give a few opinions on what I've seen:
Freedom Fighters -
This looks great, the footage of the game in action makes it look like a spin-off of C:DS. I'm definately getting this.
Warhammer 40K Fire Warrior -
Reminds me of Red Faction 2. I love FPS games so when this comes to Xbox I shall be picking it up. No doubt it'll be on LIVE since it's enable for online on the PS2.
True Crime -
Having seen the ingame footage this does look good fun. I think I'll pick it up when it goes into a 2 for 20-30 odd quid deal.
Republic The Revolution -
Hopefully this sells well enough to get converted to Xbox, looks like the sort slightly relaxing management game I need to get to replace my the copy of The Sims that I swapped.
StarWars KOTOR -
I find StarWars to be quite grating at times but this game looks really, really good fun. At some point I will be getting this.
Italian Job -
Actually looks like a good blast, I'll get it when it goes into a 2 for 20-30 quid deal.
Gladius -
This looks like damn good fun too. I will be getting this before KOTOR due to it's multiplayer elements and range of characters to unlock. Definately Gladiator inspired.
StarWars: Jedi Academy -
Another good looking StarWars title, I expect I'll get it for the LIVE multiplayer.
Broken Sword -
Yuk. Definately not my type of game at all.
Soul Calibur 2 -
Reminds me of Soul Blade on the PS2, pretty sure it's the same thing. I can see why people would like it but for me it would be too arcadey and short lived. I'd rather go and play Hybrid Heaven again.
Terminator Three -
Flogging a dead horse. Everyone knows the PS2 version is quite poor, they should have given up promoteing it by now.
Nintendo Showcase - F-Zero looks good, Mario Kart looks stunning and very fast. Pikmin 2 looks dull and sticking the GBA games next to the GC games looked daft as the obvious graphical differences just.. well.. they should have kept them seperate and left people wowed by the GC games rather than having the last thing people saw being Mario 3 on the GBA.
A seperate GBA showcase next time Nintendo.

Looks like a very good FPS, but the market is becoming saturated with them.

Another one that looks fun to play, though hopefully better than The Getaway.

Not my cup of tea.

Great fun and lots of lightsaber battles

It is quite fun in a Midtown Madness sort of way, but will wear thin after a while (glad I didn't buy it, but played someone elses to death).

Could have been better than it is. Still an ok game though.

Looks nice, would be more tempted if I had Broadband though.

Old Style Adventure game.

OK, let me explain. This is the sequel to Soul Caliber on the Dreamcast, which is in itself the sequel to Soul Blade (or Soul Edge) on the PS1. It rises above a lot of beat-em-up games due to the weapon master mode and the adventure mode, but it is still a beat-em-up at the end of the day.

Shivers.

Wow!

Looks amazing. Will get it.

First one was addictive but short, this one has 2 player and will be far better. It's a typical Nintendo orignal game and will either appeal or not, but I recommend you give it a go, if only to get away from all those FPS generic games.

Cheers man. :)
Nice opinions
Actually I'm always getting a silly amount of racers. So mabye I won't, I've got Rallisport to finish, MX superfly to lose a lot on, Cel Damage's "Races", Smuggler's Run, Burnout 2 and there's Mario Kart and F-Zero on the way.
Hmmmmm.
Hmmmmm.
Heh. It looks like something fast and frantic for fifteen quid.
Like the alliteration there? :D
