I'm finding that if I've had a particularly unpleasant day at work (i.e. over and above the base unpleasantness) and my conscience is playing up over the murder of hundreds of innocents in GTA3 that the bum-puckering action of Burnout is very relaxing.
I will admit the game has its faults (and whoever suggested it was better or even as good as GT3 doesn't get the 'car' thing at all) but it's good for a cheap laugh. Longetivity won't be a strong point, but hey, it's better than Lotus Challenge (now there's a game that sits on the back seat with its head out the window barking at strangers).
Halo .... same ole same ole. It appears that Microsoft rushed the delivery on Halo in order to have it launch with the XBox. In my opinion that was a horrible mistake. The game is sooooo lacking. Yeah it's pretty, yeah it's clean, yeah it's got a great engine. But the game is boring. The story mode lasts all of two days, a week on the most difficult setting. The multiplayer ... well multiplayer first person on a console has always sucked.
I did have fun playing 6 player Halo on two XBoxes. But it got old pretty quick. First person shooters beg for a keyboard and mouse.
Oh, to stay on topic. GT3 is incredible. It will take one heck of a racing game to beat it. I suspect GTN (GT4) will be the victor, but that's just more of the same. Hopefully it will have some cool new options and maybe a better menu layout. I hope they can widdle down the load times too.
Ahhh... good man. Do not fund the evil empire. Though ... Nintendo is marketed as a kids gaming console. But who doesn't love watching kid's cartoons? And Rogue Squadron is gonna rock! I gotta get my hands on some of that action.
to tide me over to Rogue Squadron 2 i got rogue squadron 1 on N64 and Star Wars Starfighter on PS2 (get starfighter it rocks and its cheap now in GAME in UK)
