Does anyone else seriously hate the way the americans get games before us. If the world was Metal gear solid we'd be Liquid snake (the inferior) whereas America and Japan are Solid (the superior).
But now they've topped it. you see the british rarely create classsics. Okay we got Driver, Tomb Raider and wipeout, but this is very few compared to the U.S and Japan. With Driver 2 though, we have a winner. Anyone who's anyone loves Driver. You can't deny it.
So why oh why are the americans getting it a few days before or at the same time as us. Is it because of the publishers, Infogrames, or to raise more capital. We've at last got a british game the world can druel at. Why should they get it at the same time. We're still waiting for PSone when everyone else has got it already. Why can't Reflections see this. I just want to get the message over to them that they should stay loyal to their country. It was only 2 centuries ago we were having a war with them for gods sake!!!!

another thing is, the Americans, steriotypical or not, do more towards the computer industry than we do over here on our tiny island, thats why they are doing so well in the Ol@mp#cs(sorry, I have sworn to myself not to advertise)so if anyones to be damned it should be us.

1 thing, if you have some smart idea of how to move closer to Japan than America is but far away enough as to not get blown up by any Atom Bombs, then we will recieve games faster than the Americans and the whole british population will be extremly grateful as we will be away from the Euro coin and could cash in on sushi. but then we couldn't get Kron@nb#rg(no advertising allowed) or wines which are normally made in France, we would be reduced to buying Australien wine and have to live off Kebabs(made from lamb meat, from new Zealand, as they have so many sheep).

We lost that one, therefore they get the games first. As an aside, one of my Great great.....etc. Uncles on my mother's side was General Burgoyne, who was instrumental in losing the war for the Brits against the Americans, so you can blame him.
