:lol:

Mine was in the mail yesterday........

DOA Beach Volleyball...WOW :jawdrop:

...it's only a game.........it's only a game.........it's only a game.............it's only a game...........it's only a game.........it's only a game.........it's only a game.........it's only a game.........it's only a game..............it's only a game...........it's only a game.........it's only a game.........it's only a game...

Hmm, what's going on with this issue? I usually get mine before the end of the month..

So you're going to like BMX XXX too right?

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

I think thats the most impressive thing on this disc. It looks like its most definitely gonna be amazing.

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!

Hope I get this issue before #13 comes out. I used to get it in the last week of month.

Shhhhh! before they move this on to Mature!

:lol:

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.

:whofart:

Man,
I love this magazine ! If it was not for this publication, I would never have a clue about new games !
