I have been on Special Reserve for 1 month. 31 days on Special Reserve. I have seen hundreds of people come and go like there is no tomorrow. The Special Reserve forums are by far some of the busiest forums on the internet, and it is all due to the fact that there are free games up for grabs. I have won 2, a feat which I am quite proud of, and now, a month on, I am taking a step upwards in the world
At the time of me writing this, I am on 299 posts. This post will, in essence, spark my changing from a newbie to a regular. I shall no longer be persecuted by the evil newbie-gobbling regulars, and those gloating notables, oh no, I shall rise up the ranks to become one of the elite.
I enjoy gaming as a pastime, as do everyone else on these forums and I have got a PS2, N64, GBA. I am not usually critical when it comes to gaming, I promote the good parts rather than point out the negative aspects, and as far as I can see with future generation of consoles is a very bright one indeed.
While the PS2 has already got a very strong footing in the industry, I think that this new generation of gaming is going to spark a major, revolutionary change. With its billion-pound backing, the Xbox is going to be a greater part of this change. Sony can no longer rely on the variety of games to plod along, because the other two consoles both have that variety of games as well. Technically, the GameCube and Xbox are far greater machines than the PlayStation 2, and although I do own and enjoy Sony's console, I would much prefer that for at least one gaming generation, Sony could be the underdog. I want Nintendo and Microsoft to prosper, because these are the companies that are putting in the effort to create awesome gaming experiences, these are the people who want YOU to have fun, and aren't just concerned about ripping you off in the meantime.
I am completely passive when it comes to gaming, I don't pick sides. But, in the future I want to see a change, a revolution that will see again times like those in the 8 bit era, when quality was the key to great gaming, not quantity. I don't care about Tomb Raider 6 and Gran Turismo 4, the industry needs to have quality, orginal titles which will propel the industry into greater things. Come on people, we need to have a change. Don't just go for Sony and the PlayStation 2, see what other consoles have, and see just how great they are. Don't put down opponents' technology because you don't have it, see what consoles have to offer, not what they don't.

I agree. I love Sega's games but Nintendo have the best quality consoles. Plus 1/2 pint you wouldn't have thought that about 100 people have done this exact topic expecting to win a GAD. It never works. Perhaps the first time it was done the person won but there you go. I bet you were gutted to find out that you didn't turn into a regular until the next day. Huh? Huh? =B0)

Here we go again... PS2 isn't all that great you

Well, if it's not all that great then what is it? I've played the Gamecube and own a Xbox and none of them really have the advantage graphics wise. The PS2 does have an advantage though. They released at a perfect time, they have more games out and instead of people waiting for the Gamecube or Xbox they went ahead and bought a PS2 because they knew that the games would be just as good and they are.

Im a dedicated PS2 and PS1 fan and im not looking towards Tomb Raider 6 and GT4 iver i personally don't like those games some of the best are here and to come games like DMC, SSX Tricky, GTA3 and MGS2 PS2 in my eyes is still the best out there and still will be when GC and X-Box comes out
