"Turok Evolution"

So whose getting this next week ? :-) I'll be getting it and from what I've seen it looks good so far. The E3 DVD shows some nice footage of it and whats in the game. That swarm bore weapon looks pretty tasty - having played the other games I have fond memories who I killed with the old version of that weapon. ;-)

Thing is, I keep thinking how good it would have been if a little extra was included in the game. What I would have loved to have seen is a dinosaur hunting mode - no cyborgs or evil bad guys, just a mode where you can sit back, hunt and even take trophies (skulls or claws maybe ?)
The idea of the bushes and stuff moving and making noise is great, so a hunting mode could be excellent. :-)

I know you can go around killing normal dinosaurs in Evolution, but this would be even better as far as the hunting goes. Maybe even a Co-Op mode where 2 players can have a screen each or something and just roam around trying to kill a bigger T-Rex than they've bagged before.
Thats where the trophies could come in - you could display your biggest kills of each breed just like you get records in fishing games and stuff.

I think it'd add some longevity - especially when things can turn around and your soon having to leg it from a pack of raptors. ;-)

To be honest, Although PS2 sales are high, the PS2 launch line up was poor compared to the Xbox and GC's launch line up, and games to come over the next few months.

Theres loads of games I want for my xbox, some are new ones somew are the launch ones.

A Christmas Card? I want a house for the money I will be spending on the Xbox over the next few months, I am restricitng play to week-ends becuase of Revision and what not, but I will save the games for the holidays. I have just added 3 extra games to my list of 32 and it is incredable that I actually want every single game on that list, I have never felt like this about a console before. When I had my PS2 I was constantly looknig for something that was any good, but with the Xbox I am stuck for choice even with the current games on the market. I think that people have exhaggerated about the games availalbe for the Xbox. Microsoft released the most powerful set of games for the launch that I have ever seen and I am still buying games from then! Recently I bought Amped (not allowed it until my birthday along with my 5.1 surround sound system) and I am also looking to pick up Jet Set Radio Future to give it my full attention instead of a rushed week-end rental where I finsihed the story mode.

On top of the great launch titles there have been a couple of releases in-between to keep gamers on their toes and although I am strapped for cash until I get a job there are still 7 Xbox games that I don't own that are already out! With the 32 games due out over the next 6 months and with the 7 extra that I want to add to my collection I can't understand why people have complained so much. To be honest I think the GameCube hasn't been in much of a better position, a few good launch titles then a couple of good ones in-between, but like with the Xbox all of the GameCubes major games are due out over the next few months! In this case I believe that the name Nintendo alone has carried them through what is a challenging and very tough gaming market.

Yeah along with a nice thanks in the way of a job as an X-Box games tester and professional X-Box Live player. Mmmmmmmmmmm, payed to play online games such as Unreal Championship all day, is there a better job in the whole wide world ? ;-))
Highly paid job of course before we settle on the wages. ;-)) Celebrity status and everything ! :-)

Me 2, I'be bought 8 games(well 6) + loads of other stuff.

Its should read "have a merry XMas from Big Bill"

PS "thanks for the moolah"

:P

Yeah WOO ! to me. ;-)) Think Bill Gates should be sending me a bloody Christmas card for the money I've been spending on the X-Box. ;-))

Go Consumerism.

Um...

yea.

The new official mag comes out next Friday too when Turok arrives. So another thing for me to purchase next week. ;-)

Hmm I'll have to pick up that DVD next time i'm in GAME, which will probably be next week when I go down to pick up the new OXM.

Too many games, too little money.

As far as I know its due out on the 6th of Septemer mate. ;-)
As for appreciating it more - I guess Ninties will cause they have had the license for longer. ;-) Plus its probably the biggest FPS the GC will have until Metroid Prime. I know you're getting Timesplitters 2 as well but that seems to be the Marmite of games - you either love it or hate it. ;-)

Yeah I'm also having to do a priority list too - its just not fair. ;-))
Maybe slipping release dates will help me decide over the coming few months. ;-))
