Why is it that good games run like trains LATE some games run late by the aceptable week or two but games that are suppost to be here in the summer get released near cristmas and the only excuse is "we want to get it just right" this is no excuse to torment the gamers who by the time the game is out have bought others and don't want the game they have just perfected ayear after its original release

Forget the 'Minister for Justice'! There IS no justice!

Let the punishment fit the crime!

For example:

Thieves stole cable, and cut off a number of homes from telephone service. OK.. let them be sent to copper mines and do that work, they want copper so much!

Fly tipping: Make them clear it up!

Murder: Make them work in a morgue!

Drug growers/producers/dealers: Send them to one of the big cartels in S. America as 'workers'.

Embezzlers: Make them work for 'living wages' as they repay their debts (this includes MP's who fiddle their expenses).

The list goes on. I'm sure you can think of some?

The perfect example is Nintendo. Thankfully all their games are perfect when they arrive, but to delay a game by about a year is just stupid! They MUST have known they didn't stand a chance in hell of getting Zelda OOT out when they promised- there's no way they can wake up and think "Oh... we might overshoot by...errr... 12 months".

Example, Knockout Kings 2002. Was scheduled for an Apr 5 release. However, it has been released for a while in the US? Reasons for this blatant lack of organisation on the publishers part? It has now been scheduled for a month later, May 3rd.

It's so they can supposedly fine tune any glitches and make the game better. I just think they were lazy, they had all the time to do something but played games instead. Its a bit like me and my coursework thats in for tomorrow!!

Very pleased with the help given by your staff. They explained technical details in an easy way and were patient when providing information to a non expert like me.
Wonderful...
