The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
Sky digital teletext has confirmed what everyone thought Nintendo's days are numbered, and that with platformers like Jax and Daxter, Sly Racoon and Ratchet and Clank have left Nintendo sacred ground well and truely trod on.
Ratchet and Clank has moved the goal posts in terms of platform games and left Mario Rainyday in its shadow.
It would appear the once king of platformers is just to long in the tooth don't take my word for it the general trend of decreased GC sales and the fact it is now firmly 3rd in the Next Gen war only goes to prove this point.
Resident Evil has hardly been a raving success and neither has Mario Sunshine only managed 1 or 2 weeks at the top.
With games like The Getaway, GTA Vice City and Ratchet and Clank Nintendo can no longer claim to have the best games then again you could say that was obvious to everyone but Ninty fanboys for a long time.

That shows how stupid you are then, go away, do some research, get rid of acme, maybe brush your teeth, go outside occasionally and get some fresh air, then maybe once you've done all that we can talk.

You mean the PS3 is coming out next March?
Woah, PS2 didn't last long, are you sure about that?
Let's leave this little gob sh!te to argue with himself, me thinks there's something behind his constant slating of consoles. I reckon he's a spotty little child and he's annoyed cause he has a small pen*s, he vents his anger by coming on the internet and starting stupid arguments and annoying people.

LMFAO! You immature little child. Calling things the Lamecube and Lamebox is the sort of thing little 6-year olds get a buzz on. Grow up!

First person shooter or First person adventure. A thin line or what. Quake 3 - yep a shooter. What about Quake 2 then? That had a "proper" single player game. Does that make it an adventure of sorts.

PS3? For God's sake, woman! You're one of those people who reads T3 and needs to import every new console and gadget as soon as they're out, aren't you?
