Yep, went and played some more Xbox yesterday, I told you I'd give it another chance.

Unfortunately Project Gotham Racing was still the demo game, and it's still no better than any racer I've played in the last 5 years. Mind you, I haven't played many.

Funny thing is I spotted 2 more buttons on the controller.

Previously I had only spotted the 4 coloured ones, but to my shock there were 2 more grey buttons above these. Just as poorly placed.

So I still haven't found a reason to want an Xbox.

That controller offers a new shock every time you pick it up...... usually a bad shock though. :-)

If you wanna play more of the demos on the X-Box stands, If you press start at one of the menus, it takes you to a list of 3 or 4 demos.

How come everyone has played one of these except me?

I haven't played on one yet. I'm not that disappointed about that though.

Gah!

How come everyone has played one of these except me? Because there's no decent games shops around here anywhere...

Plus, I don't really want to play one, because if I do, I'll want to buy one, and then I'll be about £400 worse off.

Still, my mate is getting one on launch, so hopefully I'll be able to have a go on his at some point.
