Been on holiday and busy at work for a bit, but now I am back.

The first thing I would like to say is how delighted I am that the Wonderswan handheld is outselling the Xbox in Japan and that what an achievement for Bill to be beaten by an ancient handheld in a market that represents a 3rd of all the videogames sales in the world.

Must be something to do with all the crashes you get as standard on the Xbox. Or is it only me that notices all the crashed demo models in PC World, Tesco, and EB still never mind where theres a bug there always a MS patch.

Comparing Red Faction to DOOM or Quake, and to a slightly lesser extent, Halo 2 is like comparing GT3 to Ridge Racer.

lol, techno freak how can you compare Red Faction 2 with Doom 3 and Halo 2? The origanal Red Faction was one of the wort FPS I have ever played, and while the sequel may be better, I can never see the devlopers matching the quality of some the better FPS on the market right now.

Dave RJR and Gamezfreak - you are both X-Box fanboys, so shush.

Tehcno Freak - you are a PS2 fanboy, and talk the most crap I've ever heard in my life.

AfroJoe - you are not a fanboy in any way, and like all next-gen consoles.

:-D

Looks set to be a class RPG, along with Morrowind and a splash of Deux Ex 2.

Project Ego will be enough on it's own to bring the X-Box to eternal greatness.

You can't compare DOOM, Halo, and Quake with the likes of Timesplitters, Red Faction 2, and Medal of Honour. The first 3 are the best of their kind, while the last 3 are just "clones" with a few odd changes.

Timesplitters 2 - More of a multiplayer Frag Fest then a single player game
Red Faction - Pfft.

The problem is that there are so many other good FPS out there like timesplitters2 and Red faction2, Medal of Honour.
