When you sit down in your chair and play your beloved game, you all know that we think about many things whilst we are playing. Now i know i will be called a "shallow" gamer but i think that if you ask yourself honestly then you may find that you agree with what i say.

Everyone goes on about how they don't care about graphics, which i think is wrong, we all look at our games and if they are spectacular then we think wow, like when you see the first cut scene in FFX or the detail on Raiden's face in MGS2.

Now you are all sitting there thinking i don't care about graphics.

Well ask yourself this, if FFX came along looking like FF6, i know that some of you would be put off, but hardcore FF fans would stick to it. Now how many of you have said the graphics on that are "well good!"?

Do not get me wrong, gameplay is very important to me but i have been put off Zelda by the graphics as many people, now i know you are all disagreeing but hey, my opinion and i dislike cel shaded graphics. Zelda will be a great game in it's own but had it have been like the demos shown when the GC was the dolphin (project name) then it would have attracted many more people!

I know that some will agree and others will disagree but i just wanted to get my opinion over.

Sir Auron is not camp!

Camp characters are people such as phsymon(SSX Tricky)
Very camp, Auron is mega hard!
