I haven't! All the playable X-Box's in Windsor were turned off. I asked if they could turn it on but they all said "Sorry it's broken." All of them broken!?! That's not a good thing!!! Typical of Microsoft, everything breaks!

I played one a few weeks back but I havent been into town for ages so I havent played on a GameCube yet.
I have played a xbox and man, it reeks! the controller is way too big and as for the console, well, it needs a forklift truck just to lift it.
Leicester... I played on in the Shires Virgin Mega Store on thursday.
It was Halo and it was pretty good. Nice graphics, smooth action...
The pad was a bit weird but nothing you couldn't get used to although I was pretty crap at the game (this being down to the fact that the N64 has trained me as a "left thumbed analogue user" so I was used to looking up and down with the left and move with the right. As a result I'd move forward when I tried to look down and look down when I tried to move forward! :-D)
Halo was great, but not enough for me to want to choose it over Mario, Zelda and Perfect Dark, or Monkey Ball and Smash Brothers in the multiplayer arena.

i have an X BOX and it isnt that heavy, you must be a wimp if you need a forklift to move it. the controller isnt big your hands must be small :-P

I only played one very, very breifly - I found no trouble handling the controller, cant see why most people moan about it - Theres not much difference in size between this and the DC controller!!
Had a quick go on Project Gotham and Amped - Both seem pretty good but I didnt really have long enough to start making judgments!!
I like the look of Halo though - This seems to be the game that tempts me the most!!

I've played an X-Box, but shouldn't this be in the X-Box forum? Anyway, back on topic, I've played all the games on the demo CD, and I particularly liked Project Gotham and Fuzion Frenzy. So I bought an X-Box and the first game I bought was (you guessed it), Project Gotham Racing. I kept thinking that the game was called Gotham City Racing for some reason, but I have that out of my head now, after the playing the game for a long, long time. The titles weren't really varied enough in the stores, and I felt that they didn't have enough of them either, so it took me some extra convincing from my friend before I went out and got one. I must say that I'm ultimately pleased with the product and don't regret getting it. There's a decent selection of titles out (Halo, PGR, Max Payne etc) and I think that it can only get better for Microsoft.
Rock on Bill! :D

You have got to remember, there are some people in here who think that GC will be the best console in the world, PS2 and XBox will be crap and havnt got any games. I personally like the PS2 although I havn't played the Gamecube but I'm not going to get one because I made the mistake of getting the 64 which I feel wasn't very successful. A few good games but not many (please dont quote that and make stupid comments like 'There were LOADS of great N64 games' because there wern't.)
I personally havn't really got any problem with the Cube or Xbox and I really don't think that I'm shallow minded enough to go around saying that the XBOX is crap like there was a thread the other day saying. If I could have all three consoles, I would but im not that rich.
Any donations????
P.S I am not aiming this at anybody, I'm just trying to teach a few people that other consoles are also very good and just because they are Nintendo fans it doesn't mean that everything is crap.
