Cancelled my online order and decided to treck down to the shops and get one, I hate waiting.
So far I'm not at all impressed.....with the weight, only took me about 5 minutes to get home, in that short space of time I had to keep swapping arms that I was carrying the bag in because they were aching so much. Thank god the shops are only a few minutes from my house, i'd have had to get a taxi otherwise. What really made me laugh was the girl behind the till put the console in a bag and as she was passing it to me, the handles broke.
Anyway I got Halo (of course) MGS2: Substance and Jet Set Radio Future. So far from what i've played of Halo it's gonna be a bloody brilliant game, excellent mass battle type things and most of the guns rock my socks. ONe thing I don't like is the bit on the 2nd level where you have to drive the Warthog, those things handle terribly, i just wanted to get out and shoot stuff normally. Small gripe though because the rest of the stuff i've done rocked.
JSR: future from what i've played is gonna be just as good as the 1st game if not better, not particuarly enthralled by the new graffiti method or the lamp post climbing but i'll get used to it.
Haven't bothered with MGS2 yet.
So far so good then, first product i've ever owned from Microsoft that i've been completly satisfied with.

Try and swap MGS2 for PGR. So much more fun.
And there was me thinking that the Rainbow Six game might have been related to the Tom Clancy book. And SSN the game might have been related to the book... Maybe he should sue then?
Being funny is a requirement of wit.

There's a difference between standing behind someone and a stealth game.
Stealth's so common even Halo has it.
But inorder to do a good clancy game you have to replicate the cool stuff he writes about.

Not in games you idiot.
Ubi Soft might as well have cut and pasted the shadow bar from Thief into Splinter Cell.

Splinter Cell is Tom Clancy. Clancy's been doing stealth and shadows for years.
