Well er...actually it was a controller.

E.........................B Had one set up near the front desk.

They were playing a demo disk.

So I walked over towards the X-Box and rubbed my hands all over the controller.
I enjoyed every last second of it.



The X-Box is massive, bigger than I thought it would be.
I stood for a minuate or so wathcing the demo disk and on it was a clip of Halo.


I stood there with my eyes just about popping out of my sockets.
I've never seen anything so lifelike on a games console in my whole life.

The X-Box is enough to brighten up anybody's life.

I AM mostly judging on reviews though. Amped is rubbish though, really not my type of thing. And I really, really can't work out why they kept the design of the controller so damn shoddy. The buttons are like bloody mobile phone buttons... no satisfaction from pressing them.

When's Halo coming out on PC? And yes, it is.

The Xbox's controller is excellent. Big and heavy. A real man's controller.
And it also has the shoulder triggers - like the Dreamcast - essential for drivin' games. Essential.

no offence i find that statment to be a load of garbage, I have played on a demo unit a few times now and if anything it depresses me, asides from the sheer size of it and the absolutely cack controller the games manage to depress me no-end, especially today when they actually changed the demo disc and put on a demo of Mad Dash, that game is so unbeleivably lacking in graphics, sound, plability and well... Everything! it depressed me so much that even the thought of suicide seemed bright and cheerfull! anyway...

RE:Controller

many places, are offering the smaller joypads as alternatives to the one that comes with the console.

Iam sure SR will prob also do this given time, meaning all you moaning about the controller will be satisfied by the newer looking smaller one.
