Oooooooook, don't see how my opinion is a load of rubbish. As I said, the sequel is coming to X-Box, so in my opinion, the original game isn't a massive loss.

I think I probably got Angel of Darkness confused with another title on the X-Box release schedule. As for the original Timesplitters - yes it was a rush job, even the developer admitted that. The sequel is of course a lot better.

Well that's a load of rubbish. Don't need Deus Ex? Hah! So the graphics might not be as good as X-Box, but the gameplay's still there, and you can bet your bottom dollar that the two will be rather different.
Angel Of Darkness is supposed to be a PS2 exclusive, and Timsplitters a rushed job? Who cares if it remains one of the most fun first person shooters around? It's multiplayer cetainly gives the oh-so-great 'Halo' a run for it's money.

I'd have all 3 of them if I had the money and had the time to play them all, as it is I'm gonna struggle to find time for all the games I want on the Cube.

Exclusive, as far as I know. I *think* that's on a permanent basis, but I'm not sure.
Also, according to adrian, Burnout 2 is also PS2 exclusive now. He was going to get the Xbox version, but said he will be getting the PS2 version instead.

As I always say - opinion.
There's still more of interest for me on PS2 than either of the other two. Three on Xbox, two on Gamecube - some of which aren't out for ages yet - and off the top of my head five for PS2 between now and February.
A lineup is only 'poor' (or 'good') to the individual. That's why you have a choice of which console to buy - and why I have all three. Any slow period on one machine is likely to be countered by some decent games on at least one of the others.
If you are genuinely interested in games rather than just being blinkered, then you can't really afford to be without any system - especially at the prices they're at now.

Thats a bit better. However.......
MGS: Substance is basically MGS2 with extras and its coming to X-Box first. Red Faction 2 is coming to X-Box, Burnout is already available, Burnout 2 is coming out, don't need Deus Ex because Deus Ex 2 is coming and console wise will apparently be X-Box exclusive. Spyhunter is out on X-Box and I'm sure I've seen Angel of Darkness on the X-Box release schedule.
So now you have like 5 games in that list that matter.
