I played PS" today and what i have to say is quite a big 'wow'. I may have said that it wouldn't be that good but it's pretty good overall.
I would think the DC would ahve the same affect on me if it had games like Tekken.

To play a beat em' up being a Nintendo fan with a N64 with no beat em' ups to match on it, i felt good to play a decent beat em' up for once.
What the N64 needs is a Tekken like beat em' up the most, i do hope they make a Tekken on the GC, it will be likely part of my collection.

I then played Timesplitters not bad, if the controls were better! Perfect Dark on the N64 was much easier to get to know maybe if i had a PS2 i might have understood what the 2 sticks were for........
Better than PD, in graphics and detail......bad at being the worst characters i've seen in a game.

I got a glimpse of a game called Kessen, reminded me of Shogun but slightly, the American chessy movie actors in it, it put me off a bit.
Not bad graphics though, but i'd stick with C and C any day.

Overall not bad, a bit Americanised and Japanesy but so far okay. Not perfect i'd stick with a PC and N64 long enough.

Hmmmmm...second stick. The N64 controller is slightly better designed and the controller needs to be change. They rushed the console out.

First Sorry for anoying you the other day SNIPER. Actually I own a PS1 and I still can find no sane reason for the Second Analogue Stick!

Blimey, praise for PS2 from Sniper!

'scuse me while I pick myself up off the floor! ;-)

Seriously, though...

Glad you enjoyed the experience, Sniper. Just goes to show that many of PS2's critics might be pleasantly surprised if they actually try the machine.

Even if it doesn't convince you to buy one, and you still prefer to wait for another machine, there's nothing wrong with actually liking it.

C and C = command and conquer.

I thought the games felt a bit of a japanese but good.
