"The next big one"

Panzer Dragoon Orta

After a whole string of reviews I've read there is only one conclusion- this will be great.

Epic storyline, fantastic soundtrack, great old skool gameplay with new twists, tons of extras- including the saturn original not to mention the best visual experience Xbox has yet delivered. I'll back that up- I've seen footage.

And one more thing- Boss Battles! They're back. According to Gamespot, its one of the best blends between tried and tested gameplay with new technology. I like the sound of that.

Set youy money aside for this one guys.

Nothing's been announced yet but they've said they're researching the console so when they release games they will be of the best possible quality.

Isn't Toe Jam & Earl 3 supposed to be a major skankuss?

Hmmm, I predict JSRF will end up on the GC, and this is good - the more people who play this game the better. I think it would sell in the tens-of-thousands on a Nintendo console.

I wouldn't say "major skankuss", but reviews haven't been all that hot. But it's Panzer Dragoon Orta that I'm looking forward to.... another SmileBit classic in the making.

God I hope your prediction is true, Jet set Radio ruled and Future looks even sweeter.

Fingers crossed we get Panza Dragoon as well.

Ah, but Panzer Dragoon has an "Only on Xbox" stamp on the game box, whereas JSRF doesn't. So I don't think Panzer will make it's way onto the GC, but JSRF might do.

I've played the demo, I wasnt impressed by it.

Uh-huh. A rubbishy, repetitive platformer that's just as bad as House Of The Dead 3. They have some nice points, but nothing at all to warrant a purchase.

Well I enjoyed the old version of TJ&E and after playing the demo I love it. So I'll definatly be buying it.

Fair enough, but shouldn't you save your money for a nice new GameCube and a free game?

Eh ? Don't need or want a Gamecube. Theres not enough on it or coming out for it that I want to warrant buying it.
I'm happy with my X-Box and theres tons of games I want on it this year so all my money will be going towards those. :-)

Sorry, just a bit of a joke (forget the smile type thing) and free advertising at Nintendo's new bundle ;).
