And anyway, it`s all as simple as that: if you like what ninty does, i.e Zelda, Mario, etc, get a GC. If you don`t, don`t get a GC.

"usually they aren't, but i don't want a ps2...i already have a stand alone dvd player And x-box, o wait, yea i have a computer with a better video card"
BTW, those are two incredibly dumb arguements.

how so? Considering your probably an owner of one of those consoles i could see why you would defend them

BUT its true though, i mean, ps2=dvd player with some games, most good ones are on PC or will be, And maybe i don't have my stories straight but isn't the x-box like some kick butt gf3 with computer parts in it as well? Anyone have a link to something that explains what exactly a x-box is? cuz thats just what i've heard reading through a few forums, Not to mention the x-box is hacked, and could be leading to ....sadly...what happened to the dreamcast, maybe

who knows

Hah, I would hardly let the PS2 have the merit of being called a dvd player, its quite shit compared to some $70 APEX DVD players that I've seen. As for the GeForce in the Xbox, its on par with the GF4 TI4400.

Own all of the three.
PS2 is much more than just a dvd player. Many of the best games on the PS2 aren`t on the pc, probably won`t ever be. Tekken4 on pc? VF4 on pc? Ico on pc? I don`t think so.
The XB = pc at core might be true, but what difference does it make? Can you play DOA3 on your pc? Can you play JSRF on your pc? Can you play HeadHunter on your pc? Can you play Gun Valkyrie on your pc? NO. I can`t quite understand why is this arguement so favourable amongst fanboys.

hrrm my sarcasm was lost on people (oh now you see it!!

)

this is a completely pointless argument, because I somehow suspect that in the end you're going to own all three consoles

**Jaz** · June 11th, 2002, 03:40

Yup.

And it's all Sega's fault.

**Stalkid64** · June 11th, 2002, 03:43

Tekken 4 is, in a word, crap. No one cares about VF any more. Ico is the most pretentious game-trying-to-be-art in a long time. DOA 3 is YABEUTF (yet another beat-em-up-too-far) with a pad really not suited to it, JSRF isn`t that much over the DC version (ditto Project Gotham/MSR), I can play Headhunter on my DC already, and Gun Valkyrie... well, you`re really stretching it there. A few of those *are* headed for the PC (even Halo). And not a single one of those games has half the uniqueness of Super Monkey Ball, the fun of Luigi`s Mansion or the graphical beauty of Waverace or Rogue Leader.

(Which leads neatly onto mentioning a review will be available very shortly, as Martin has it now hopefully...)

**Jaz** · June 11th, 2002, 03:46

Time for a title change then.

Martin deleted my KKR review from the server, btw..

yup those bastards

**Stalkid64** · June 11th, 2002, 05:21

Can I just question my frighteningly low post count at this point if I say something about computers...?

Like... I dunno, that a 150mhz laptop running win98 is still more than considerably kick ass for writing reviews on... yeah, that`ll do...
*hopes for good-humoured mods who don`t deem that as spam*
