First the GCN gets 3DO and their Army Men 'games'...then they get two Resident Evil games ported from some seven year old hardware...and now they get some games from the freaking MEGA-DRIVE after this new Sega announcement.
Not to mention the GBA's swelling library of SNES and M-D games.
And the cancellation of Spaceworld.
And the President saying they might pull a Sega.
Wow.

I don't hate any consoles, but i'll defend Nintendo consoles till I'm blue in the face cause they happen to be the company that make the games that I love.

Hehe, try giving the Pokemon games on GBA a chance trust me they aren't as bad as people make out. Infact they're preety damn good.

One thing I liked about Red Faction was the way you could blow up the walls, if they managed to incorporate that well into a 4 player multi player mode then it could be damn good.

I'd have to admit that i prefer the X-Box, there's nothing on the PS2 that really intrests me that much, Stunt Man I think it's called looks preety good and The Getaway should be good but that's about it. The only reason I prefer the X-Box is cause of all the Sega games it's getting, games like Jet Set Radio, Crazy Taxi and Shenmue are the absoloute nuts.

83 replies to this topic...amazing how sensitive you Nintys are. :D
But, if you want me to diss Sony products, then I will diss a few games that I have been unfortunate enough to buy, among other things.
In Cold Blood, on PS1. This is most probably the worst game ever. EURGH! I am waiting for the perfect moment to burn it, where I shall laugh maniacally. Oh, and include 4-4-2 Soccer in this, although thankfully I don't own it.
Shadow Of Memories on the PS2. Dull, dull and dull.
MGS2- Great, but disappointing. Just playing through MGS today made me realise how much better the original is.
The PS2 had a pretty crap launch, especially with all the pre-order malarky.
'Patches.' I've come to think of the PS2 as a 'patchy' console. It had a bad time in the first couple of months with only the odd good game. However, the launch of GT3 triggered a mass of excellent games over the next few months until Christmas. And now, we're going through a dry patch. More consistency would be nice, as I can't buy loads of games at once.
They're the first ones that come to mind, but I've stuck with it and over the past few months the PS2 has been great, with personal faves such as Max Payne, Devil May Cry, GT3, MOH: Frontline and GTA3.

Because original isn't always good. Genres like FPS are tried and tested, and they worked. So called original games have never been used before, and for all we know could be absolutely diabolical.
I know quite a few Nintys who don't like Pikmin, including RBS.
And if I'm a Sony 'zombie', wouldn't that make you a Ninty 'zombie'? I've never seen you admit anything good about the PS1 or PS2. Also, I bought a GBA, trusting you lot and Nintendo that it would be worth the money. Unfortunately, it's been worth less than a Refresher bar, so no wonder I don't have any faith in Nintendo products.
I will admit however, that Pokemon Stadium is damn addictive. {:)
Cookie Monster, have you actually played Metroid Prime? I expect it will be a good game, but so will Red Faction 2...as long as they use that so-called new technology properly...RF1 was good, but nothing special.

If you're going to quote messages, spell the names right. Surely it's not hard to spell a 4 letter name?
