Yes, it`s been done before.
No, it won`t be as lond as the FOG version.


Why am I trying it out anyway?

The XBOX forum is a very interesting place to be, but it can also be a little quiet. I though perhaps if we had a topic with several hundred replies lurking at the top, things would look more popular.

Feel free to use the topic to talk about anything. Either the latest XBOX game, latest ideas for including some female star in a game etc... or even just the usual chat that happens all over.

As I expect this to fail, I`ve decided to spend a little while pushing up the replies. No spamming, just lots of nonsense :-)

Any help would be great, it`d be boring to have a whole topic with replies from only me.

You haven't won yet mate ? Like you said, try doing a couple of reviews. :-) If you want some tips on what you should be writing, try looking at recent winners and no doubt you'll find the kind of details you need to include. :-)

I don't think my reviews are too bad and in a way I think SR and their GAD system has really helped me to improve them as winning is usually a good indication that your doing things right. :-)
Once I come back from Florida I really want to work in the games industry, most of my family and friends keep telling me I should be a games tester or a games reviewer in a mag or something. ;-)
Of course with me playing games pretty much non stop that kind of thing would be my dream job, so rather than just sitting around wishing for it to happen, I've decided I'm really gonna start trying to go for it.

Its not going to be easy, but you only live once and if its something I love doing then I might as well do my best to get in. :-)

Excellent. :-) Just won GAD for my Crash review. :-) Seeing as I'm going to the States on July 18th I might as well look at what games are coming out between now and when I get back on August 21st. Be nice to have an excellent game to come home to. ;-)

As far as I know Snake will be playable through the whole game, Ninja can be played as in certain areas and theres going to be a ton of VR missions. Other than that it seems its going to contain similar little options as MGS2 with some extra touches (i.e being able to mess around with what characters are in major cut scenes).

They migrate to the forum as they dont like the fact that their console is being hated by others. They need somewhere to brag about it and call the other respective console some retarded name, or going on about something they dont know what they are taking about.


> Anyway so anyone know what the confirmed xbox extras are?

What do you mean by extras?
