They'll probably ignore it, but anyhoo...

Call me bitter, but did your E3 line up not look as impressive as many would've thought?
I mean, come one, 'Grabbed by the Ghoulies'? it sounds like a game that ubisoft would bring out at Christmas time or an EA game in a similar spirit to 'Ty the Tazmanian Tiger'. I'm okay with crap names - I want Ikaruga for heavens sake -, but only as long as the premise of the game sounds interesting.
Yes, it may be my view and mine only, but unless you do something spectacular and radical - something i've not seen from you since 'Blast Corps' - I really do fear for this game.
One extraordinarily good point I'd like to point out - cel shading. I wonder how many X-Box owners shall be calling Zelda's look childish when they've got 'GBTG' in their collection?
All of them probably.
Also, 'Conkers Bad Fur Day'. What the hell? So you make an X-Box live game, and instead of making it availible to play offline or creating a new game, you add a 5 year old (ish) game onto the package with 'new footage', as if that's meant to amend the fact that you couldn't be bothered to conjuer up another game for us to play. C'mon Rare, I need reasons to buy an X-Box and you're not helping. If you want to port old games onto new systems, go and develop solely for GBA.
Also, I got Starfox the other day. A long busride and a few hours later I felt like I'd rather have spent my money on the abysmal 'Cel Damage'. I thought I'd got myself a Rare gem, and that the cynics that critisised it were just upset with your sale. Now I realise they were telling the truth about how boring it actually is.
Sorry Rare, but you no longer capitivate me.
