Latest aquisation;

Splinter Cell
Amazing game so far, I\'m about 1/3 of the way through and so far the combo of graphics and gameplay is unmatched in any game I\'ve played in this genre. (full review coming soon)

I am currently playing 007 Nightfire on my ps2. It is an amazing game, great graphics and weapons. Plenty of gadgets also. The driving sections are also a welcome addition as they break up the shooting mayhem to give you some light relief. IMO it is much more enjoyable than both Timesplitters 2 and Red Faction.

Much obliged...

I\'ve only been waiting since last year...

July 2002: If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. Enron, $16.50 left. Worldcom, $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser beer one year ago, drank it all and turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

Not a bad review although I disagree on the final score...

After the fun I\'m having with Skies of Arcadia, I must dabble with Shenmue II, might pick that up next week or the week after along with the Sonic Mega Collection...

wow, Sega really has my number recently...

Hurricane, make sure you don\'t rush through the game.  Take your time and enjoy all the interactive goodness.  Because when you rush through the game, it comes out as being less than stellar.

I finally went out and bought NBA Street and TTT(mainly b/c they were $20) and I dont know why I waiting so long in the first place.

I also picked up Contra. While this has to be the game that has been the hardest for me to survive in years and VERY frustrating, it is worth every penny to me and only encourages me to work harder at it. Im actually happy its hard, I was kind of getting sick of playing games that I found to be way to easy regardless of how fun they were.

If I\'m still knee-deep in SOAL then I don\'t think I\'ll be stopping by EB other than to pick up a GBA game, which will be either Super Mario Advance 3 or Street Fighter Alpha 3.  One of those two, along with Mega Man Zero(currently enjoying this challenging game) will hold me off til MM&B comes out.

I bought The f**king Getaway, cus I didn\'t have nuthin\' to do two days ago. F**k. Now, 2 days after the f**kin\' transaction that cost me 50 euros, I\'ve completed the game and am quite f**kin\'... confused? ****in\' yeah. Was it good or not or what? I\'m going with what here...

    + Moments of greatness that really seemed like glimpses of the future, some superb scenes...

    - ...which crumble away onto the floor for you to stomp on thanks to superlatively dodgy controls and camera work.

    - The musics often reminded me of Crash Bandicoot. Not good at least IMHO.

etcetcetc. Most of them minuses really.

At least personally, I could\'ve settled for a smaller piece of London, replicated in more detail...

Read the EDGE review, I\'m agreeing almost 100% with them.

Yeah, the getaway is a horrible game...the control especially sucks and the game just isn\'t fun.

Yeah, and sadly it happened to be one of Sony\'s more hyped games in 2003. GTA killer, yeah right! I don\'t want to see another "Sony 1st-party.. better than Nintendo?" thread until Sony\'s internal studios can make another game that\'s at least as good as ICO apparently is. Then they can try making AAA games for 20 years..

I wish I read these impressions before buying it...
