The ps2 had absolute crap when it was released and it still killed the dreamcast. :(

You shouldnt have admited it, that was damn_witty! :lol:


Myself I stuck with the Dreamcast until the Box and Cube launch so the PS2 ports like Starfighter and Onimusha are new to me. Not to mention Inside drive is eating up most my gaming time right now. Halo and Max Payne are AAA and thats much better than the PS2 was or even the DC which really only had Soul Calibur for a few months after the launch. It took a while before we got MVC2 and NKB2k if you remember.

I think it's off to a great start... I have Halo, Amped, Project Gotham Racing, Silent Hill 2, Dark Summit, Tony Hawk 2x, DOA3, and I picked up Wreckless. I'm not into sports games (except soccer), and the platformers and RPGs aren't my thing either. If Airforce Delta Storm was more like Afterburner, I'd be picking that up. Fusion Frenzy looks like a great party game. Wreckless left much to be desired for me, but I'm happy with the other 7 titles I own. Their launch lineup has something for everyone and while none of the titles are totally perfect, I think they are certainly AAA games. Project Gotham Racing has great physics, a slightly higher learning curve, and is beautiful. It has plenty of tracks so you don't get bored (like with GT3) and it has great sound and music. My only gripe with it is that there aren't enough cars. It's certainly challenging and hard to put down. Halo is a decent First Person Shooter, but I've played better ones on the PC. Still - it's certainly a AAA game. Tony Hawk is of course a AAA title and has enough value (both TH1 and 2 and the new levels) to it that it qualifies as such. Amped is the best snowboarding game I've ever played and certainly qualifies. Silent Hill 2 is a PS2 port and is as much a AAA title as it was for the PS2 unless you've already played it a bunch. Dark Summit is fun and addictive, probably more of an AA title - probably a bit too quirky for most. DOA3 blows away any current fighter out there right now in terms of graphics and gameplay. There's two ways to play this AAA title, you can either just mash buttons really fast or you can actually learn all the moves and simply dominate. I'm quite satisfied with the lineup. The rest of what's out now is average to bad or else is just not my taste. If I was into sports games, I'm sure I'd own 5 or 6 more games for this system. Heck, that's way more than any other system had at launch in the history of console gaming. This is indeed a slow time for console gaming, new games will crop up soon enough. I'm sure there are games that we won't even hear about until E3 that have been in the works quietly and they'll blow everyone away. The Xbox is the most capable system of the bunch and with a huge title list with something for everyone - I'd say the Xbox is off to a monster start.

I am just sad that Buffy got pushed back another 6weeks, I was saving my money and everything for this game
