I played Whacked online against some Japanese guy last October.

It sucked. Lots.

Yes. I own a Gamecube as well. That's why I'm in this forum.

Right,

Quantum Redshift - If you like wipeout it is good. Characterisation is good. Levels are good. Racing is good. The game is fast.

Fusion Frenzy - Two player plus is great. Me and my friends like it a lot over the mario partys (no controller twirling or button bashing etc). There is an element of strategy to coming first and it seems to have a crystal maze influence which is cool.

Azurik - Good Zelda clone, nice spell system, well realised worlds, better swimming elements than Zelda. Freeroaming is good, if you can handle it.

Whacked - Just played it again tonight with a friend. King of the hill is great. Frag fest is great. Combat/collect stars mode is great. Some inspired levels (the car chase one in particular)! Online should be enjoyable, particularly frag fest.

Mech Assault - 1 player is mainly a training mode for online. Have bought it for online. Full assesment no really doable at the mo. Multiplayer offline however is good.

I like them, me and my friends get a lot of enjoyment from them. We know how to get the most out of them.

I didn't pay full price for Whacked or Azurik, they do fit the prices they are currently at (13 quid)

No dissapointments here.

Pish. People like the BBC and The Times, while great in their respective fields, should leave games reviews to the professionals.

Teletext are just stupid.

I haven't read a single review on there that i've really agreed with. They downgrade a lot of big games just to be controversial and to get noticed.

The coolest ISP ever!
In my opinion, the ISP is the best I have ever used. They guarantee 'first time connection - everytime', which they have never let me down on.
Many thanks!
