"Xbox?"

Is it more widely accepted now? I feel it is especially after the results of xbox outselling gamepube. Do you agree?

Meh, there is lag in XBox Live. I have witnessed it at my assistant managers house. Not a lot. However there is lag.

I will say it again - online gaming is not ready yet.

Does that have to cope with online lag etc??? no!




but it does look a fine game I will be getting it once its over here.

Ohhh you want constant framerate? You want a graphic battle. Make no cries until you have played Metroid Prime.

And beat this - NO LOADING.

That'll learn you.

Yea I had a four mech chain reaction in river city and 3 buildings falling down while I was firing no slowdown what so ever I love that game so much fun!!!

A crap game is a crap game, no matter the price ! Just means you waste 29.99 instead of 39.99.... anyway, even NOM couldn't give Doshin a decent score because it was an appalingly crap game by all but the most diehard Nintendo fan's standards. As for Xbox / GC performance, well the GC does perfrom well, and it's a good machine, but I think the problem is with developers themselves making a hash up of coding - I played Clone Wars last night and it suffers bad slowdown, bad collision detection, bad targeting, god awful on foot sections..... yet Rogue Leader was excellent, again apart from some bugs.

Xbox, on the other hand, handles things like Mech Assault, Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell, Unreal and Halo, where tons of stuff is moving and the framerate keeps constant, and there is no slowdown, even in online games - which in Mech Assault can get very pyrotechnic - in one game 7 mechs bought it in a chain reaction and everything ran smoothly.

They gave Eggo Mania 8, because it was a decent title, but with a release price of £29.99, really good value. Otherwise, it would have been a 7.

Indeed, but if they were biased, shouldn't it be the Nintendo titles that collected the 9's?

ouch I didn't know they were that biased.

NOM gave Eggo Mania 8/10.

Enough Said.

The GC sells because it has good games, The X-box sells because they are nearly giving it away. Go figure.
