As you may or may not be aware, I have just found out that I have a GAD Prize to claim for my review of the PSOne Dance Mat (Cheers SR! :D).
But I'm not too sure on what I want to claim this time...

One thing I've thoughtof doing is pre-ordering a game with this; either Metroid Prime or Zelda: Winds of Takuto. But they are both pretty far-away from now, and I really do want something now. Something that I'll enjoy alone, aswell-as with friends on certain occasions.
And if I was to claim either of these games it would have to be Metroid for me, simply because it's nearer than Zelda.

TimeSplitters 2 is a potential winner, but I've heard bad things about the Single Player missions, even though the Multiplayer games sound great.
Then there's Medal of Honor: Frontline... I've heard great remarks about this game from PS2 gamers, and that it has a good single player mode. And now that the GameCube version will have multiplayer options, I'm pretty tempted to go for it.

Now I know, I could go for something else like Eternal Darkness (which I'll hopefully get for Christmas), or Resident Evil or something, but as I said before, I want something that is good in both ways.
I've heard good thing about 007: Nightfire, but I intend to trade-in my copy of Agent Under Fire for money-off that one in the near future - just like I've done with ISS 2 and FIFA 2003 today (hoopefully that'll arrive soon).

What would you reccomend for me, and why??
I'm mainly looking at First-Person Shooters because I've almost finnished Die Hard: Vedetta and I'll be looking for more.

TimeSplitters 2 (which I still believe to be well-over-hyped), or Medal of Honor: Frontline (which I believe will not be released untill the 6th December).... Help me to decide!

TimeSplitters 2 it is then! :)

I loved GoldenEye, and especially Perfect Dark, even if I never actually got round to completing them on Agent Mode... :S

And most of my PS2-owning mates have probably already got this game anyway. So when they come round there will actually be some real competition between-us.


And Medal of Honor won't be released for another 9 days anyway. :P

Without a shadow of a doubt - Timesplitters 2. Once you've set up the controls to resemble that of Goldeneye's, you cannot go wrong. the story mode is easy on the easy setting but, then again, Goldeneye was easy on agent setting. There are far more challenges than Perfect Dark and some of them could form games in their own right. After playing Die Hard Vendetta and completing it in about three/four days I bought Timesplitters 2 last Friday and I haven't regretted it. You will get a lot of enjoyment out of this game - it's as good as Perfect Dark and there's no slowdown. If you're a fan of Goldeneye then buy Timesplitters 2 - from the moment you start controlling your character you'll know!
