I own a PS2 and dont getv me wrong i love it, but most people these days have about 3 consoles and im now at the age where i can afford another..one of which will not be that coffee maker of a console the x-box. Now i never owned a nes, loved the snes, hated the 64 and was never a hand held gamer, but i do enjoy my friends GC and now that the compotition is heating up between sony and nintendo they are both getting more exclusives so perhaps it would just be better to own the bother of them. ANyone know of any really good deals? GAME are doing a not bad deal, either £130 for a plt GC plat controller and wind waker (and for like another 20 bucks you can get another game, metriod prime, PSO to name a few). But no card, anyone know of any better?

hmm

That does sound a bit harsh.
Halo is a brilliant game, I just prefer Metroid.

It doesn't suck, the gameplay is there.


But it ain't the best game ever, and Metroid is much better presented and more fun.

It doesn't have to be the same genre to be compared as to which games better.


By your logic you are saying that Halo is not better than The Sims.


And I'm playing Halo right now, seriously underwhelmed and unimpressed.
The graphics are plain, even by last years standards calling them superb is ridiculous. The frame rate isn't smooth, it jerks along in some places. The characters walk like wire stickmen with arthritis and every once in a while as I'm walking down a coridor it freezes to load the next section. Metroid manages a whole game world without having to stop and load.

And finally, the entire spaceship consist of exactly the same wall tile repeated over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over ad infinitum.
