This time last year, the Xbox was'nt doing too good and certain people were considering it the next Dreamcast. Those sneering buggers can go and bum a constipated male tiger, cause look at the Xbox now. With Xbox Live and a whole host of excellent titles under its belt, The Xbox aint going anywhere without a fight.
So what have us Xbox owners got to look forward to from now to Xmas?
FRUCKING LOADS.
Ok so your probably thinking "Oh for fecks sake, hes writing another one of those bloody lists that I can't be assed to read" But hey - I'll write it anyway cause the Xbox looks to have a very jolly christmas indeed. Hey and I might see you lot on LIVE on Christmas day :P

Possibly Rainbow 6 3 if the demo next month is any good.
There are many more that interest me but I couldn't be bothered to remember them.

Dino Crisis 3 has got disappointing reviews across the board. And you only have to look at some gameplay footage to tell it's not that good.

Hell no.
I own Final Fantasy X and Skies of Arcadia and the latter is a whole lot more immersive and interesting. There was something horribly shallow and linear to FFX, whereas Skies was great in the way that you were outlaws but vigilantes at the same time, fighting for a purpose. It was also much more varied. And there ARE GameCube additional features.
As for Brute Force, I can recognise a sub-standard game when I see one, and everyone I've met who has played the game, plus GamesTM and Edge, agrees with me. Besides, I think you should have learned by now that sales figures represent jack-all about the quality of a game. The Simpsons Wrestling and Enter the Matrix, for example, both sold excellently. They didn't deserve it.

It got quite a bad review in GamesMaster magazine 67% I believe - Im still willing to give it a go though as I enjoyed the first two!

You're the loony tune who, from my dislike of Skies, surmised that " So on that basis the PS2 must be the greatest console ever made. Jeez you do talk a lot of bull sheet."
How you suddenly go off on one about the PS2 when I'm talking about Skie is beyond me...
