"Jingle bells, Xbox sells, Games are on their way....."

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.

But the PS2 had nothing. At least x-box had SOMETHING.

Its a load of ballax thats what that list of games is. Wolfinstein was PC, Enter the Matrix and Brute Force were way less than satisfying, I had Phantasy Star for the Dreamcast and didn't like it. Who cares about bloody sales? They are at the base poor games for a 4 month stretch bar a couple. If it wasn't for Skies of Arcadia, PS2 and my new job I wouldn't have kown where to turn this summer. The games have been pretty sheet and to me its been yet another appaulig summer. However if you get enjoyment out of playing below average games then feel free. I on the other hand will wait for the top exclusives to start rolling in so I don't have to throw away my hard earned cash on what basically isn't worth anyhing over £10.

They all sold well though, and for retailers thats important, especially with very little else on the other formats, Zelda was Nintendo's big summer thing, what did Sony have ? (Honestly don't know 'cause I don't pay any attention) Tomb Raider ?

Across four months, that really is pretty much FA.

Hold yer horses. If your skint- buy a Live enabled game and get 2 months of Xbox Live for free. The offer starts with Amped 2 I think and its a great way to get people holked on online.

And no-one has mentioned the improvements to LIVe which will be happening this winter either.

All summer with sweet FA and now a load of Xbox games, still loads of PS2 games to buy and 3 major killer apps on the Cube. I am skipping the likes of Knights of the Old Republic as I just don't think it will be for me and it will take up too much of my time.
