The Battle of the consoles is really hotting up after the hugely successful launch of the Gamecube and the Gameboy Advance last week at spaceworld. By most peoples beliefs , the Gamecube will be the best console to buy not only because of its great performance but also because of its strong line-up of games including old favourites such at Metroid , Mario (remember what a difference this made to gaming when it was released!) and Zelda. However, when the Dreamcast was launced in September last year, its line-up looked strong with the likes of Sonic, MSR and Quake 3 three all due out by Christmas. Only one of the three games mentioned is even out now! and this is the main reason for the inevitable downfall of the DC. PS2 is dues out on November 24th and although not overally impressing many developers, its reputation and huge backlog of games as well as games such as Tekkan Tag Tournament is bound to make this a success. This leave the X-Box. Not much is known of this so far but it is really shaping up to be a good console. It is rumoured that developers have been very impressed by it and therefore this could be the main challenger to the Nintendo Gamecube but the only way that we will really be able to know which is the best will be when all of the consoles have been released. Happy Gaming!!!
The games were running on the hardware in the same way that the TTT demo with 70 by-standers was running on the PS2. The actual quality of PS2 games will never be this high, because it would be stupid to put so much effort into one level!

Because if you write a long message which shows the pros and cons of the consoles (It doesn't have to make sense) you will probably win...
The reason people are very excited Dan, was because the "demos" were running ON THE HARDWARE, they were recorded from the games. The only games that featured FMV were Waverace, and Metriod. That is all. The other games were running as if they were being played, AND if you watch the video of Rogue 2, that is actually being played by someone in realtime as well.
Anyway I agree most of what hes wrote is complete tud (I am growing to that word), But I expect he will win Game a day anyway!

Stroudy, You have written absolute rubbish here, but hey i don't mind. The game cube and GBA were not launched - only reveiled - they won't be arounf until 2001 in Japan and Europe hasn't even got a date for it yet. Also those DC games you mentioned - where have you been - it has some amazing games as others will back up - including Resident Evil CV, Fur Fighters, Virtua Tennis, Ferrari F355, Shenmue, Crazy Taxi, Dead or Alive 2 Soul Calibur, and heaps more games to come.
Get a DC now for £150 and a couple of games - try the auction pages -they have great deals.
Get your facts straight m8.
