Should be a few classics released next month. I’m looking out for MG Substance and Ape Escape 2, seeing that I have both coming on GADs. Also, the sensational Tenchu 3 is released, which should prove a hit. We can rub Xbox’s noses in our new mission for Splinter Cell, and then notice how silly we sound.
A lot of sporty games coming out - noticeably the 2K3 series, renowned for quality. A sequel to NBA Street sounds promising too.
Elsewhere, Robocop and Downforce finally get released, and considering that a Downforce release was pencilled in for last November at one point, we can now think of all review scores as void - it could be a new game!
Zone of Enders 2 is looking very, very tasty. Could be great.
A few other games which will appeal to their fans - Defender, Rayman 3, Snooker, Mark of Kri, Pride FC and we may get some surprise hits from RTX red Rock and Indiana Jones.
Last of all, Devil May Cry 2 - it’s set to be a good game, but after Play gave it 82%, I can’t see it being a classic by any means.
So, all ends considered, this March should hold at least one must-have title for everyone. can’t wait.

Yes, I have Pride FC and DMC2.

Both very good.

Can't wait for Metal Gear Solid: Substance now.

It looks very good indeed.. bearing in mind I still think that the original MGS2 was pretty darn good.

Well I've got DMC2 and Splinter Cell on pre-order, but I never knew ZOE2 was out this month. I was never even planning to get it until the rolling demo with OPS2, which really made me think about it. The original was just so short though...

What does everyone think of Splinter Cell so far? I got the demo, the lighting effects are brilliant as are the other features in the graphics. Gameplay is good, but I don't think its got the same Stealth feel to it like MGS, I mean you can't really sneak up on enemys, sure you can turn off the lights (or shoot them), but you can't take enemys hostage, as they are always at a position to see you (only people like Chefs and stuff can you really get to take them hostage). I dunno, its only the demo, maybe on later parts will the Stealth come into action.

Camera angles can be a bit awkward at times as well. But still quite a good game.

I just found Tenchu 3 for £27.99 and Wind Waker for £30. Now I'm sure that's a double bargain.

Now that's something I haven't heared in a long time. I remember the days when I was watching Rolling Demos of Destruction Derby and Wipeout. :)

Link!
Quickly, while no-one's watching.

Rolling demos - ahh, memories.
And I bet everyone spent about an hour with that T-Rex on the demo disc you got with your trusty PSX. Wow, it walks.

You mean the term "rolling demo"? I use it all the time! So much more sophisticated...

Tart.
