This isn't bitterness, Sav, this is the truth.

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.

Well it seems to me that ever since they left Nintendo, Rare really have gone down the dungy. A lot of their talented staff have left for toher companies mainly Zoonami and Free Radical.

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.

Theres just way too much whining about Rare - don't know of any other developer that gets all this crap and strangely enough, its all come about ever since they did the move - strange that.

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.

From what I've heard, the Conker's game is going to be a shooter type war game between the squirrels and the teddies - the original game is going to be a bonus to it, only the graphics and stuff are going to be improved and its going to be uncensored.

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.

My point being wait until release before you judge.

Rare have been knocked in the past, but when have they ever yet failed to pull something really special out of the bag come the release?

Poor poor Rare... this seems the most promising title and its a bleeding port.
