Hell yeah! You know you liked it.....:P

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?

Eh?

Have you lost the plot? Biased towards what? If the summer was sheet then why pretend it was good? Brute Force or Skies of Arcadia? Enter the Matrix or Devil May Cry? Tao Feng or Tekken 4? Getting a PS2 again enabled me to miss out on the summer trash and only get the games I won't end up regreting wasting money on. The Xbox has had a sheet summer, as has the GameCube and PS2 for new releases on the whole. With the PS2 though I could go back and get the exclusives I missed out on and Skies and Resi Zero were enough on the Cube to keep me happy. With the Xbox I ended up getting Medal of Honor which is up on EBay at the moment. Good game but hardly something to rave about as the only Xbox purchase I made all summer. The Xbox is my favourite console however I'm not going to defend it if all thats released is a load of shizer. What would be the point in that?!

Erm yes that woulds be what I am trying to do. I couldn't care less if you want to play any gamr that roles onto the shelf. With the choice of exclusives on 3 platforms I prefer to go for the games which will stand the test of time. Skies of Arcadia still played superbly where as Phantasy Star Online plays like a dated Dreamcast title in need of a serious make over.

Sometimes I struggle to wonder what I hate the most, Shenmue or PSO.



Then I remember it's Shenmue.
Stupid Sega.

Thats perhaps because Skies of Arcadisa is a decent game and not some mindless hack and slash online sub standard RPG.
