Which have you spent more time playing on this weekend?

PS2, or XBox.

Be honest please.

Rallisport is a very worthy investment.

1- Its loads of fun.
2- Its so dam fast.
3- skill IS most deffinetly needed.
4- It looks so dam fine(check the footage on your Halo disc).
5- Multiplayer is fun.
6- loads of challange.
7- It plays more like v-rally than Colin McCre.

I think its much better than the PGR demo I have which is supposidly the better of the two. I don't think so.

Hmm. Even though you're most likely taking the pee (in a minor way), I'm still not convinced.

No, not glad. As I've just said in reply to Silent85, I wish I'd waited for more software and/or a price drop.

More truth: I've touched neither the PS2 or Xbox since the weekend.

Okay, my personal view...

At the moment, although I've enjoyed playing Halo, PGR and Munch's Oddysee, I wish that I'd waited for (a) a price drop, and (b) more games to be available.

Halo is not as good as I'd hoped (but still a damn good game), PGR turned out better than I hoped, and Munch's was got in exchange for DoA3 - but is very funny.

Apart from that, I personally would struggle to find any more games at the moment that I really want, and there aren't many coming any time soon that particularly appeal - unlike the PS2, which has several games due which I'm desperate to play.

The only other game that would normally interest me is Rallisport Challenge, but I'm waiting to see how Colin McRae 3 and V-Rally 3 turn out first.

So, in short - if you can easily afford the Xbox, it's worth getting, but you *may* want to consider waiting for more software first. I certainly think it's worth keeping your PS2, though. I know I was extremely happy that I didn't trade mine in.

As if I'd be anything else!

This weekend, I have mostly been playing...





Xbox!

Friday night I spent mostly plugging away at Halo.

Saturday was a mix of Munch's Oddysee and Halo, with a bit of MGS2 and Maximo.

Today a mate came round to see the machine in action, so we've been flicking through the games every couple of hours or so.
