the gamecube IS failing... and so is the xbox... damn GTA3 being only available for playstation..
oh well... at least I can play halo and super smash brothers..

[Marz]

XBOX isn't falling..

GameCube won't fall.. But it'll stay the same way it is..

XBOX won't fall because they are acked by Microsoft.. Who will push it's developement... PS2.. I'm sorry.. To this date hate the controller and always will hate the controller.. It's ugly and it doesn't fit your hand like some other controllers.

And that does make a big difference when playing games.. But as for the games on the ps2.. They are allright here and there.. But there isn't a halo on it.. Sorry.. Halo will always be a great game.. And so will Halo 2.. It has the smartest AI for enemies to date.

GTA3 is good for one thing.. Random acts of violence.. And occassional driving around. Sure it's fun for me for about 10 minutes.. Then it gets old. Even the missions seem dull to me.. But for random fun.. yeah it's cool..

There are some good Cabecube games though.. Metroid, Sonic Collection and Super MArion Sunshine.. Were all good games.. Even though the controller on that I can use with one hand *lmao*...

Xbox.. has my favorite collection of games though... And the ones for the xbox look and run smoother than the other consoles... Halo, MK-Deadly Alliance, Tiger Golf, and plenty of others... And the fact that the sexy little hard drive built in is just that.. Sexy.. Mmm.. Xbox Live is also a jewel as well might I add...

It's personal opinion.. if you like a system that spits games out every week.. Go for ps2.. But my guess is you'll never play 25% of ps2 games that come out. :p

GTA3 blows. Soon enough there's going to be some other super-revolutionary game, to blow it out of the water and reign supreme for a few months, and then too become the trend-trash and garbage of the next quarter.

[Aislin]

When I played Halo, ergonomically, I hated the Xbox controller. The game was fine, the controller was junk

I am an old veteran of the jumping around and shooting and doing eleven things at once in FPS's, and when I had a finger curver half-way backwards here, and a thumb having to control eleven buttons, I became frustrated.

The PS2 controller has always been better, in my opinion. It looks fine, it feels great, and it's far better than the Xbox version.




Edit:

Playamarz:

How about that game a week thing. LoL. You're quite right, I didn't play a tenth of the games that came out for PS2, but to be fair, I don't play all too many box games now that i have that.

Thats the business. Happens all the time. Its a cycle. Nothing new...

I rent about 3-4 games a week.. 1 ps2, 2 boxes, 1 gc's.. I always stay in touch with all the games coming out.. I use to get 2 ps2 games out a week but was disgusted with the games I was getting... I got a good game every so often but other than that blah...

As for the controllers.. yeha.. The box controller is a tad big.. (to others to me it fits perfectly).. But they have a controller out that's a slightly smaller.. The layout of the buttons were tested by over 100 gamers I believe and they loved the feel of the controller.. My wrist doesn't get tired with a box controller but I always wanna drop a ps2 controller cause of it's style..

I guess that's just preference...

Talk aboutt he fps.. it' takes time.. I sue to be strictly mosue and keyboard (still am kind-a..) But I can do those thigns on the box controller now.. Jump backwords while tossing a grenade in the air and shooting.. The only thing I can't do while doing all that is duck and stafe at the same time like on a key-mosue combo :)

[Aislin]

I have the new Controller S, and it does indeed have a better layout. For games like morrowind I use my older fatter one, because of the way the controls are layed out, but for most everything else, it's my S.

My complaints about Halo are for the older controller, when I actually played Halo, (like over a year ago). I think I played that for a good week, lol.

edit:

*nods to jubba* that is indeed the business. Wouldn't mind getting in on it, since that lil' cycle can earn you a few hundred mil.

**** we still play halo.. my friend has 4 tv's in his basement.. We hook our xbox's together and have a frag fest.. The ice level with the vehicles.. 4 vs 4.. Capture the flag.. RAW skill.. My god.. it's fantabulous... Absolutly fantabulous...

:)

[Aislin]

Sounds like one heck of a lot of fun, but I don't have friends who have 4 big t.v's in their basement, Lmao. It'd be sweet though.

I do play 4/way games on my friends 72'', so it's sorta the same, without the personal screen.

[Marz]

Try the level that's just one long hallway with 4 people.. Play FFA in that with only rockets... Then tell me that game isn't fun anymore *lmao*

[Aislin]

Nah, I'm fine. We rip out the GE and PD for our party-ish four-way fun.

...Goldeneye and PerfectDark.

***Will Never ever EVER grow weary of the Laptop gun and its infinite uses***

[Marz]

wtf.. Goldeneye over Halo?!?!

I should smack you... Ugh.. Goldeneye was a pathetic game.. I'm sorry people.. Doom 2 had better graphics..
