Dr X, Doom 3's may be coming out on X-box. So you might wanna wait.

Wierdly enough I dont think there have been very many good PS" games at all. I was very dissapointed with GTA 3.

X-box has better specs but doesn't use them much. A few HUGE games but a load of rubbish as well...

Gamecube has a great stable of games though and despite it being the weakest console, game-wise I think it's the best... unless other consoles shape up I think GC deserves to win!

PC beats all though. GC has unique games that wont be on PC which makes it a hardcore gamers choice.

I just bought Halo second hand from Game Station for ?20, which didn't seem bad.
Got an Xbox at Xmas, but a bit disappointed now that there don't seem to be that many games available. Hope it isn't going to go the way of Dreamcast. Surely Microsoft can afford to match the publicity of PS2?!

Must be standard Gamestation policy then, as the Cambridge branch is two doors away from GAME (which prices its games much more cheaply than the in-town GAME shop as a consequence).

Was in Cambridge over the weekend and picked up Jedi Outcast - not the most demanding game ever, but the sheer pleasure of shooting loads of Stormtroopers with their own pulse rifles is immeasurable, and that's before I get hold of the lightsaber...

I wouldn't say the situation's that bad - there are plenty of games out there for both Xbox and Gamecube, but most shops don't carry more than a fraction of the available titles.

The comparison to the range available on PS2 doesn't help either, but Sony did have a helluva head start over the other two, and they've traditionally followed a policy of putting out as many titles as possible.

Best thing to do is check out what's available online from places like play.com - there's a lot of stuff you won't have seen on the shelves.

Is there anyone else who thinks that €75.00 is a bit excessive for a console game? If they're releasing budget titles I guess thats better but still...

If you dont have an up to date version of windows: Our currency isn't large squares...

It's been announced that Nintendo is to do a budget range starting in a month or so.  It includes stuff like Pikmin (which is nice!).

Did I mention that someone bought me one of these 84 games in 1 machines from one of the digital shopping chanels?  VERY old school gaming and has a lovely version of defender and galaxians and hyper olympics and.... etc..... great for the kids (if you need an excuse to get one).
