**Note: I don't have it yet - I still have at least four new games to finish. But you can bet that as soon as those are done, I'll have both Ninja Gaiden and Twin Snakes.

They will be mine. Oh yes. They will be.

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Seriously though, what's with all the hating on the Xbox? It's no more expensive than the PS2, it's got ethernet and hard drive functionality built into it already without having to buy extra stuff, it has quality exclusives from quality developers (Panzer Orta, KOTOR, Crimson Skies, etc.), the Controller S is actually a really good controller, and just about every review I've ever seen of multi-platform games has said something to the effect of "And the Xbox version has the best graphics of the three" (while not mentioning any significant dropoffs in control or gameplay between the three versions, so why wouldn't somebody want the version with the best graphics?).

It's a good console, with good games. No reason to hate on it.

P.S. Please don't argue with this by saying "But Microsoft makes it, and I hate Microsoft!" Unless you have an intense ideological hatred of Microsoft and every aspect of its business and make a concerted effort to boycott Microsoft completely, there is no reason to disparage a quality product.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>I played the demo at my friend's house. It's god-like. And on the contrary of those two isolated bad reviews, the camera system is mind-blowingly good. I've never seen a camera system that could handle battles in small rooms and close quarters like NG's does.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I'm not hating on it. I don't have a PS2 either.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Well, I guess I took both you and Eric saying "darn, it's only on Xbox" as anti-Xbox rhetoric, instead of anti-exclusive rhetoric. My bad.</div>

Ho-lee crap. You sure you still just want a 2D version, Tort?

Oh crud, you're right! Sorry, I forgot to use my Eye of Sauron power to peer into your living room and see which consoles you owned before I posted that. =)
