Anyone buying any of the titles that are coming out in a couple of days ? I can't wait for Championship Manager.
:-)

Some say that Crash is supposed to be out this Friday too. Be happy if it is released cause I've claimed it as a GAD prize. I think Onimusha is ok and has a few little extras in. Just not in much of a rush to get it right now though.

Anyone else picking up Championship Manager ?

No its not out. Some shops have been showing the box for awhile but only as a "coming soon" advertisment.
Same goes for Crash Bandicoot too, although I doubt I'll be buying that one.

On March 14th I saw the championship manager box in my GAME store for the Xbox.

Nope been delayed. The Americans are getting it near the end of June now, even though we were having it a few weeks before them.

The game had a preview in Xgamer, and they gave it a caution, as the preview copy they had really had bad frame rate. So a delay of a few months is likely. As EA dont really want to rush out a game that will get an average score of 5/10 when its a 9/10 game or 10/10 if your a die hard Buffy fan like me :)

Yeah. :-) My GAD win couldn't have been better timed !

I have money for 1 game for now and I was trying to decide between Crash and Championship Manager. Thanks to GAD, that decision doesn't have to be made. :-)

Crash definatly seems worth a purchase. :-) I've seen screenshots of cars getting completely wrecked and it looks amazing.

One or two cars were litterally burned down to their frames ! :-)

Praying SR manage to get it sent for the release day cause I can't wait to get my hands on it. :-) The game that is.

Hmmm, Crash has suddenly lept up my Most Wanted table. April 5th you say? I'll have to keep an eye for that one.

Thing is, I'm real poor at the moment, so I have to make sure a game is well worth it before I splash out on it.

Yeah, I wasn't too impressed with Obi Wan either. I'm looking forward to Buffy but X-Gamer mag has said that it has a pretty poor frame rate and stuff. They're not too sure about Blood Omen 2 either which I was quite looking forward too. Think I'm gonna be a bit cautious till I find out more.

As for what Crash is about. Ever played Destruction Derby on the Playstation ? Thats basically what Crash is, but with some extra little features to play. :-)
Apparently you have things like a career mode to race and stuff. You also have mini games like jumping buses and I think you can jump through flaming hoops too. Of course theres also things like the bowl where you smash eachother up till theres one car left. :-)

Its 4 player too, so it should make for some fun multiplayer moments. :-)
