LOL "WE?"
Fanboys...when will they learn?

Very true, I do agree with this, but on the other hand Ninties say the Xbox is rubbish because it is big!

Well if you bother to look around check Splinter Cell for the Xbox! If we are talking about games that are out go back to November 2000 and onto a console that I have just recently purchased, the DREAMCAST! If anyone has played Shenmue then they will know that the graphics on this game are *currently* (keeping up with even the GameCube and Xbox) some of the best use of in game textures and characterdesign seen to date.
>, Metroid Prime has amazing graphics, as has Mario Sunshine and Zelda.
True, they do have excellent graphics but so do:
Splinter Cell
Dead To Rights
WWE: Raw Is War
Shenmue 2X
Hitman 2
Unreal Championship
Operation Flashpoint
See what I am getting at? Every console has games that are due for release that *ALSO* have some amazing in-game and cut-scene graphics.

Yes I have played this game and although the graphics impressed me the gameplay was repetitive, boring and it has all been done before. Have you played Shenmue? 10 people on screen at once, birds flying around you, Harbour sounds as ships arrive and forklift trucks driving around and I didn't experience any slow-down. On Halo the screen can be loaded with Marines, Aliens, vehicles, moving air particles and gun fire and that games has a solid frame-rate and great graphics. GTA3 on the PS2 is a phenominal game that contains a lot of moving vehicles and in-game characters on the screen at once! So yes the game is good but other consoles have games to match it!

Erm... Don't totally agree with this. The Super Nintendo doesn't have a lot of power compared to todays next gen machines so even if someone spent 100 years developing for the SNEZ the console will not be able to match the graphical power that the Xbox, PS2, GameCube and Dreamcast could bring us. Gameplay does count a lot but it is nice to have a game that has a bit of *EYE CANDY* don't you agree? To me Rouge Leader had some great graphics but I didn't enjoy it becuase the gameplay was nothing new and I found it very boring to play.

Maybe you should take your own advice. Give me some evidence please. I did not once say my hands did not fit it, I said I found it uncomfortable. Also, what my brain thinks is what I know. I don't spout BS like some people (namely you). Also, I think the X-BOX is a brilliant machine, perhaps not the best, but I did not once say that it was 'cheap and tacky' due to the controller. Shut up gamezfreak your starting to get on my nerves.
Think about things before you say them.

Good f**king god! I hate to swear in debates but you just won't take a hint! I have the largest hands in my year, my handspan is 24cm and I'm 6ft. And oh yeah, I'm 14. Don't tell me I have small hands 'cause they only seem like that next to your giant and biased head.
i also don't see what the big deal is about the buffy game...in my opinion it doesn't look that great and i reckon it's going to get a pretty poor review (but that's just what i EXPECT...doesn't mean i'm gonna be right)
