So Mr non-Irish Dell man decides to turn up to replace my brand new PC's hard drive, as the old one broke, so now I can return and speak from my own room! Excellent! However, I lost all my files and Napster songs, lost loads of reviews that were about to be put on SR, and now I have to restore everything.

I have just received my prize for gameaday - Moto GP, and still, despite my teeny review praising the game (not a very honest review...), I have to find fault with the game. The sense of speed...What sense if speed? The graphical distortion? It's just as bad as ever, but the game is fairly good to play.

The PS2 version of Crazy Taxi will be interesting - it may well prove to be the best selling game of the year (although Black and White is bound to stomp all over the record book - how many pre-orders???), and maybe, just maybe it will show off what the PS2 is capable of, although it's likely to look worse visually than the DC version, but if it's identical (because the modes etc will be) then it will be a worthy title for the black box of unperformed tricks.

I come back here to find Er-No is ruling the forum - well played Joby, but has anyone got any gaming news that they want to post in this topic thing? I will be very please if BRFC beat whoever they are playing on Saturday (they beat Birmingham 2-0 today...!!!)

Anyone been to Gamespot.com? Good site

Let's all wonder why T&F is such a great game, but they've covered the graphical hitches up with motion blur on the PS2 version. How mean! I wanted to laugh...

I will be getting Daytona USA soon, and Crazy TAxi remains the most playable game ever - I must re-get Le Mans 24!!

Cheers for reading

Grass in nature: Jaggy, and random...

Wookie - I don't know why but the grass seems to have jagged lines all the time - anyway, the replays are excellent - starting with the visor screen: superb.

Your Honour - I think they have to because there aren't many top games and Sony know that Sega will bring a heck of a lot of gameplaying satisfaction to disgryntled PS2 owners, like myself. However, on the Crazy Taxi front - the prospect of playing simultaneous 4 player split screen games and with the ability to pick up as many customers as you like? It's getting me fermenting at the mouth! Ney York here we come!

Why DO console screen shots never look as good as the actual game, whereas in PC mags they do?

I do sometimes wonder if you play teh same versions as the rest of us Dan! My version looks fine - honestly!

:-)

I have a nice piccy of DC Crazy Taxi in a mag. Looks like RR5 on the jaggie front. (PSM2, issue 6, page 28 if you don't believe me.)
