Its only a matter of time before publishers release games on more platforms. Bring in more cash you see.

Are we now? Perhaps I like my PS2? Perhaps I'm sick of people like you constantly slagging it off for pathetic reasons?

Grand Theft Auto is being ported to Xbox two years later in a pack that will simultaneously release on PS2. It was a similar story with Substance on the Xbox, and Twin Snakes on the GameCube. Whatsmore, GTA: San Andreas and MGS: Snake Eater will both be exclusive to PS2 when release. A one-off Final Fantasy game, Crystal Chronicals, will appear on GameCube and so hardly deters fans from the main franchise which remains Sony exclusive. Pro Evo 3 is said to be coming out on PC, but that's ages away. Otherwise, it's PS2 only and will stay that way.

And leaving it with nothing? Yes, you mentioned Smackdown, but there are also undeniably classic games such as Ico, Rez, Amplitude, Devil May Cry, Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution and Jak & Daxter among others. So think about it before you come out with another ridiculous statement, eh?

I totally agree.

My favourite pad, of all consoles, is the Gamecube one. Sadly the Gamecube did not offer much I favoured to go along with the pad....

My favourite is still the DualShock2. It fits nice and snug in my hands, with all buttons and sticks in easy, comfortable reach. Feedback through the rumble is excellent.

Second is the GC pad for comfort, though I don't like the size and placement of the Z button. Also, only having one central motor limits the feedback it can give.

Least favourite is the Xbox pad - too large for me, even though I have large hands. Also, I find the hard rounded plastic of the A, B, X and Y buttons to be pretty hard on the thumb if frantic button-pressing is required. So much so that I returned DoA3 just days after purchasing it. Feedback is good, though. I really must get an S-pad at some point.

Original Xbox pad is my favourite. Just fits perfectly. And it is almost indestructible. In short, it's a man's controller. Not for kids and not for girls. It's to game controllers as Kleenex Man Size is to hankies.

You must have HOOOOOGE hands.

I also like the big pad, once you get used to it, it's fine, although whats with that silly big X in the middle?

I'd rather it had a mirror for those mid-game hair tweaks ;D

Not really that huge.

Yeah stupid lump of plastic. It would be so much better if it was a holographic projector like Cortana in Halo.

or a beverage holder
