"Gettin X-Box"

I am gettin an X-Box, i reckon 2 get Burnout2 and Enter Matrix. Have heard Matrix is 2 linear is this tru. Dont advise 2 get Halo, as already got that (won as prize on TV)

Yes, but forming an opinion solely on what one magazine says and then proceeding to shove it down the throat of everyone who has has the audacity to ask whether the game is actually any good or says otherwise is just retarded.

The bloke on the BBC didn't like Metroid, does this mean I should think the same?

Erm and this isn't an exhaggeration is it? Don't talk balls. How do you know Conflict Desert Storm is better than Brute Force? Make your own opinions and not whatever GameTM tell you. Go through and read some of my reviews for SR. The ones 6-7/10 that I do actualy enjoy and then just read over the comments you just made.

I owned Conflict: DS on Xbox, but sold it because I needed cash and heard (from you, actually) that the GameCube version was a lot better. I may purchase it again, as the fact remains that it was great fun. Granted, I haven't played Brute Force - but I have read reviews to come to my conclusion; after all, is that not what they are for?

And the reason I preach about GamesTM so much is because they're so bloody excellent.

I wouldn't call writing a review score from a magazine, your own opinion. Would you?

But then who am I to argue.

Biggest load of crap I've read in a while. Must you exaggerate and/or misinterpret everything I say when you get a little worked up?

What, I'm not allowed to have opinions?

I like the look of Midnight Club 2, as it seems a Burnout style game centered around speed and fun. Midtown Madness 3 could be good, but I very much doubt it's worthy of AAA status; the screenshots look less than impressive. Could be wrong on that one though. Brute Force is flawed, and bettered by Conflict: Desert Storm.

Unlike Alastair, I'm not loaded and so don't feel the need to rate every game I mildly enjoy a 10/10. I'm ruthless because I have to be, supporting three consoles and a PC, and seeing as this guy is getting an Xbox I'm giving some advice on what's really worth spending his money on.

That's funny. I'd say MC2 looks the worst. Midtown Madness is going to rock on live and Brute Force force is an excellent game. The unlockable characters, squad based deathmatch and different ways you can attempt, and complete, a level are excellent examples of why this game is tremendous.

No wonder he doesn't like the bloody Xbox. Every game I say is "average at best". Games likes Oddworld, Amped, Midtown Madness etc he just either goes by GamesTM or says the demo's didn't interest him. Ah well who am I to care, I aren't the one missing out on some truly great games.

Mav doesn't like the look of anything unless it's inserted rectally and needs lubricants to get the full value.

Pfft Mav.

Midtown Madness 3 looks awesome.
