"Lets get it straight"

Ok I'm an old gamer, going back to the days of the Spectrum, and I'm tired of hearing all the twaddle about game consoles.

IT'S NOT THE CONSOLES YOU PLAY, BUT THE GAMES!!!

I have a PS2 after being dissapointed that Microsoft brought out a console that doesn't play existing PC games, THAT would have been a winner.

But what I am really tired of is the the LACK of game play in many of todays games, ICO (completed in a week £39.00!!!) Medal of Honour (completed in a week £40.00!!)etc, I dont care how much power this console has, or how many polygons that console has,IT DOESN'T MATTER, we all seem to be suffering with the nice graphics shame about the game syndrome, if I shell out £40 notes for a game, I want it to last at least a month, and have something worth going back for a replay.

The PS2 has the largest selection of games, but not necessary the largest variety, not everyone is into Shoot-em-ups, Beat-em-ups, Sports or Driving games, the Game Cube does offer a wider variety which is good whereas the Xbox seems to be producing pretty much the same things as the PS2, or is it the other way around? Gamecube, other than a few exclusive titles seems to be folowing suit. What has happened to originality, or more important, value for money.

OK, so my Spectrum and Amiga didn't have 5.1 sound and the power of todays consoles, but, take a game like Populous, it, with Populous II had a few THOUSAND levels and was the predecessor of Godgames, the games were original, and like so many other games could be re-issued for todays power consoles.

It is fair to say all three consoles have merits, but it should be the games that are the talking point, and more important, value for money.

I dont give a dam about the graphics, yes it is fair to say that I enjoy good Graphics and sound, but they should not be the overiding factor for a game, and I think reviews should concentrate a little more about the games longevity rather than how it looks or sounds.

At the end of the day, buy the console that has the games you want to play and ignore the childish comments about why one console is better than another. As a now defunct game company called Ultimate always said "Play the Game"

I agree totally with Watcher I remember Mega drive games I still aint completed the levels seemed to be endless there were so many

Time splitters 2 is comming out soon and i've heard the multiplayer death matches are cool :D also there is a level editor so if you get bored of the game levels you can make your own.
