See - SR was right....You unfaithful lot!
Rare have got Kameo (a plagiarism of Pokemon, may I add) which does look interesting, but has been subject to much criticism across the net; Conker: Live and Uncut which is basically a remake of an N64 game with an overhaul of a single multiplayer mode (admittedly a class one) and finally; Grabbed By The Ghoulies, a title that looks amazingly uninspired.
Rare have either held the good stuff back, mistakenly shown us some crap information and footage of their games or (and I'm sad to say this may well be the case), have totally lost the plot through Microsoft's 'Five Games In Two Years' contract.
Starfox was a poor excuse for a game that I wouldn't wish on anyone. Then the E3 line-up is looking decidedly average as well.
Anyway, enough of the negativity. Conker's looking good, just hope they manage too pull off the Live Play properly. 16 man, team deathmatch in the style of the multiplayer on the N64 could seriously rock.
Needs to have loads of new and improved maps, tons of new speach and loads of new guns.
Oh and they need to have the Katana sword again.

Notice how the people who are criticising the games, already own an Xbox or in my case, are getting one very soon.
The Rare line-up at E3 was incredibly dissapointing, you just have to read the previews on the internet to work that one out.
I'll get Conker and i might get the other 2 but none of the titles excite me like the old Rare's games did.
Kameo looks good and Grabbed By The Goulies certainly looks interesting. I think Rare have some damn good games lined up - I just think its more of a case of the Rare hate squad trying to sour things.
Rare moved - Get over it.

Starfox Adventures......?
Now that was hyped.
