Just been reading the news of Rare's Xbox titles - a new Conker and Grabbed by the Ghoulies, with no doubt more to come (probably in the shape of Banjo and PD).

If you have an Xbox, this doesn't apply. If not, are you enticed by these games? Personally, I find them a little underwhelming. Yes, I would obviously prefer if they were coming out on the Cube, but I think we can all agree that the level of quality software on the Cube is great right about now, with classic Nintendo titles, some great (and original) second and third party titles and even FF and MGS appearing (all thats missing is a PAL release for Winning Eleven 6).

So, what do you think? I think they look pretty good, but then Lord knows what Nintendo have up their sleeve for E3.

Yes, from now on we say, "Rare, the Lenny Henry of the games industry."

When I first heard 'conker sequel' I wanted.

But just a team fps? Hmm...

Still another plus for the xbox, I guess, but not a very big one. Then again I don't really like FPSs.

Conker team based shooter? Could be good, but it would've been sensible to use the license for a full on platformer again - not some poncy Tom Clancy rubbish.

And Grabbed By The Ghoulies looks poor. But I may be wrong. Perhaps Rare have gone down the road many TV comedians have - perhaps they've completely lost the plot and should give up while they're ahead.

Conker is a big let down.

I wanted a platformer with p***-takes like the original. Not a gay multiplayer game.

Tempted to buy an Xbox because of those games?

No.

Not in the slightest even.

Only for a Banjo outing would I consider.

If the Rare games are as good as the N64 ones then u will all want to get them. Maybe Nintendo should release some sort of games to rival conker, PD etc.

I'm getting an Xbox very soon but ot be honest, the rare games don't look particuarly amazing.

I'll definetly check them out but I'm not really excited by them.
