Got stuck in Haverfordwest today waiting for mother to try a hat on. Mooch around, find an X-Box in Currys.
The controller wasn't attached to a pod or anything this time, so I could actually hold the damn thing properly... and my God, does it make a difference. It's definitely not the best controller ever made, but it feels a hell of a lot better out of that damn graspy thing.
But the buttons are still, really, really poncy. You remember that episode where Homer designs a car? That's what it reminds me of.
But not *that* bad. Better than I thought at first anyway.
Onto game, Dead or Alive 3. It's just as bad as the second one.
Played it for five minutes, and I completed it with the kung fu character bloke. Couldn't even be bothered to watch the ending.
Before I get all the replies of "oh you should complete it with ALL characters"... why? They do all the same thing, kick, punch, I move towards someone, press a button, and they fly up in the air and snap someone's neck. The gameplay hasn't improved even slightly since the first one, which was crap too.
And I LOVE fighting games. I can't wait for Soul Calibur 2 to come out... because the first one kicked and punched bum. Dead or Alive 3 feels like you're watching a really, really bad movie. That lasts ten minutes.
I really need to play Halo though... all I've been subject too are crap games so far.

I'm stating my opinion from my experience today, and we've know exactly what you're going to say before you do anyway. If you have questions, ask them, if you agree, or disagree, for Christ's sake don't just say "yeah i thought it was crap too" or "the controller sucks"... make a point, please.]

Pink Floyd again, huh? The ending to that track is scarily sudden. Very effective.

Nope, can't afford it at the moment.
I owe ma' mate money and she said she will break my legs if I don't give it her back soon.
She scares me.
By time you read this she will have me knee deep in concrete and will be close to pushing me in the River Trent.
PLEASE! SOMEONE CALL SUPERMAN!!
I'll get one soon though. I want to play with super monkey balls.
