"Ha ha ha RARE ha ha ha"

I am not laughing at Rare, Rare were my third favourite company and my first favourite company kicked 'em out to you guys. Oh no I'm laughing at the fact that Microsoft expect Rare to release 5 games in 2 years....

Trust me it won't happen.

Oh. I heard some-one/people from Sonic Team were making it. Maybe someone from Sonic Team who left and joined Artoon?

And I forgot Pikmin.

Nope Blinx is an Artoon/Microsoft Game studios game.

Yeah but look at the amount of games there putting out for the GC at the moment, they're so busy with it they've been letting other developers use their franchises.

You've got:
Luigi's Mansion
Mario Sunshine
Animal Crossing
Doshin
Waverace
Starfox (not Dino)
Thr Legend of Zelda
Mario Party
Mario Tennis
Mario Golf
Mario Kart
Metroid Prime
Eternal Darkness

With the exception of Starfox, they're all being made by Nintendo or 1st/2nd parties owned by Nintendo.

I thought it was being made by SEGA? Or are they parts of SEGA? Even if they are, surely SEGA publish thier own games?

Maverick, How many times do i have to tell you, Microsoft DON'T make games, Microsoft games studios do. Blinx Timesweeper is being Developed by Artoon and MGS, Published by Microsoft. That looks an original game title.

Mindless waffle to prove their loyalty...

But lets face it.. they know nothing about making quality, original games.

I don't care.. that's not bitter, it's just not caring. I live with it because Rare are no real use to Nintendo, and the MS buyout poses no threat to the GC.

I may buy myself an X Box now, I've said that the Banjo Kazzoie games rated as some of my favourites ever, not really bothered about Perfect Dark but Kameo was another game I was looking forawrd too so an X Box for me isn't out of the question just not until the games are within weeks of being released, that's all.

Oh that and the fact I need a DVD player. :)
