<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Can't fucking believe they make it hard to get, especially for the fans like me. They should want me to play this demo, dammit. It's a perfect hype opportunity for a company that needs it right now and they're blowing it. Idiots, they still haven't learned. Now, on to the games:
Soul Calibur 2 - excellent, what more needs to be said? If you played and loved the first, this is just more of the same. But that might be it's problem. The first was so far above its time that the second isn't much of an improvement. But I'm still getting 2 version of this when it comes out (who gives a fuck about Heihachi?).
Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg - very neat concept. More like a Nintendo-type 3D platformer, which is probably why Sega decided to release it for the 'Cube. Lots of fun for the demo, but we'll have to see what it turns out to be like in the final version
Sonic Adventure DX - it's Sonic adventure with slightly better graphics
Splinter Cell - it's Splinter Cell
Viewtiful Joe - every last one of you needs to play this game. The best possible way I can describe this is a mixture between Double Dragon and The Matrix with an anime style. This thing is so much fun it's insane. YOu actually get points for how well or "cool" you look when you're beating up the endless enemies and working you way through the level. Not only does this look as cool as hell and is just a blast to play, it also gives an amazing amount of depth to the game as you try and get the highest "Viewtiful" score you can get. I just can't emphasize how much fun this game is. Gray and Derith were here when I was playing it and they had a blast just watching it. I've played through the demo twice already and I still can't get enough of it. I'm learning more and more every time. This is rapidly climbing my list of favourite next-gen game...and it's just the demo. You need to do yourself a favour and at least try this game, it's that much damned fun.
As for the movies, F-Zero looks fucking amazing. i can't wait for that one. It looks like the N64 one on steroids, which is just fine with me.
Now, if they'd just release Project Gotham 2 this year.....</div>
