Pay over $500 to play titles like those? It\'s your money.

Nothing on the level of a Halo, or a Super Mario 64.. nothing that can knock your socks off compared to other console games. Even Perfect Dark Zero is going to suffer from a rushed schedule, and not make launch. (?)

I count the month after launch as "launch".. so maybe it\'ll be a launch title. All signs point to it being a little underwhelming for one reason or another.. but let\'s hope for a 9.5+..

BTW.. the highest rated game there is CoD2. A PC port and a member of a vastly overpopulated sub-genre. That should blow the doors off of th\' old gaming room, eh?

Is PD0 really delayed? That\'s fucking ridiculous if it is. They advertise a game for launch (i.e. the day the system comes out) and I give them a bunch of money and then they delay it? Keep your unrealistic release dates to yourself and let me spend my money on a game from a company who\'s got its shit together.

Rare sucks.

"But the game will be better."

They\'ve had years to shine that turd and they would have been better off just re-releasing a de-licensed but graphically overhauled 007.

That game was always better than Perfect Dark anyway.
