and it was allright. Not worth £300 smackers, but quite good. When the price comes to £150, there is a library of games, it has been proven stable and unhackable, and i get an extension on the house, I might consider it.

The Gamecube video looked much better.

I do apologise. Drakan should not be there. It's not even a good game. I actually think of Drakan when I want to write Raven, as in Ravenblade . They bioth have the same syllables.

Ravenblade - never heard of it.
Resident Evil - been out on PS2 already (crap).
Soul Caliber - coming out on PS2.
Drakan - coming out on PS2.
Extreme G3 - out on PS2 (average).
Luigi's Mansion - don't make me laugh!
Star Wars: Rouge Leader - great, quality title (worth buying the lunchbox for it).

Oh yeah, and may I also add Ravenblade and Resident Evil. I believe that Soul Calibre 2 is coming out on the GC as well.

I would have thought that the X-Box will come down in price around about Christmas 2002?

I feel the same way. The price tag is way too much for a mag, plus the XBOX - £300. Never! I don't care what comes with it, (unless of course a babe in a bikini came free as a promotion). But jokes aside...the XBOX must go down in price for me to make a final decision, whether or not I wish to buy it.

The mag is worth getting, £5+ is alot but hey nothing's cheep these days.

The video is what cemented my view that the xbox is the console to own. The first half of the video has some great footage of Halo and PGR which I have watched several times. However the rest of the video if filled with crap footage about games that no-one cares about. The screnshots of PGR do not do the game justice, it's spectacular and all of my friends agree.

The mag itself is pretty poor although it does have some good, clear screenshots.
