What's the news on Ninja Gaiden? Is it going to be amazing or just so-so?

I agree. My jaw dropped while watching the preview yesterday. But I was equally impressed with Splinter Cell. Looks like they are starting to take advantage of the Xbox's power.

As my wife & I watched the DOA Volleyball preview, we just had to laugh. It looks like goofy fun.

All I could think of when watching it was my old volleyball game that I used to play all the time (don't ask me why) for my old Atari 2600. Two sticks with wavy arms that would hit a square ball over a long blobby rectangle net. The sun would slowly drop down & the moon would rise (if you played long enough) & we were all impressed with that. Amazing how far games have come!

The DOA Volleyball video was funny. The music in the background make me crack up. I am sorry but what the heck is this suppose to be soft porn for adolescents? The graphics were no doubt great but is the game any good. I couldn't help but laugh as I was watching this video.

DOA Volleyball was a huge hit at the Tokyo Game Show... it might help pull the Xbox out of the mud over in Japan... you never know. If Awe = Sales, then it's a possibility.

Panzer Dragoon Orta is amazing!! Definitely looks and sounds like a worthy fourth entry in the series.

It's not going to be a system seller, but all the Sega fans should pick it up.

Finally got mine today... yawn... DOA was a different video than they showed at the Tokyo Game Show - that was an old video on the OXM disc. The rest is ho-hum except for Panzer Dragoon and SPlinter Cell... and I'm losing interest in Panzer Dragoon.

Anyone actually play DOA volley ball? I know it looks good etc, but will it play as good as Beach Spikers? That game is fun as heck to play, just wondering how DOA will be. DOA seems a deeper game with collecting and buying stuff etc.

I'd have to say, from what I've seen so far Ninja Gaiden is making me seriously contemplate purchasing an X-Box.
