Messed with an Xbox today

[Sephy]

<div style='font: 12pt "Times New Roman"; text-align: left; '>Controller wasn't bad at all, I rather liked it. Like a DC controller, only a little fatter. Nowhere near the exorbitant claims I've heard. The Xbox itself is pretty big, but not much if at all bigger then a PS2 I'd say. Not a big deal. Anyway, the only game playable was the Oddysee demo, so I messed with that, seems like it could be really fun, too bad the demo is really limited. I wish they had a Gamecube so I could play that too.
Really want to try both, since I'm only gonna pick one :)</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Didn't see Gamecube anywhere in Babbages, btw. Whatever Nintendo's doing, it's not advertising.</div>

[Lee]

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>I agree. I got a chance to play around with one, too. The controller is a lot like the DC's, and it really isn't all that big.</div>

[Sephy]

<div style='font: 12pt "Times New Roman"; text-align: left; '>Yeah. Nintendo had a big display at Toys R Us, but it was just 2 small TVs and a DVD rolling footage</div>

[Sephy]

<div style='font: 12pt "Times New Roman"; text-align: left; '>Which is good, because I like the DC's a lot, especially in sports games</div>

[Torgo]

<div style='font: 9pt Arial; text-align: left; '>I didn't really like the DC controller in the first place. And since the XBox is basically a fatter version, I can't really say too many good things about it. I also don't like the fact that the buttons stick out about a centimeter from the controller.</div>

[Gone to Shakers]

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Aside from you, and like 2 other people, I think both at the Shrine, the only people who I know who have problems holding any videogame controllers are girls who don't play Videogames, and little kids who's hands are too small</div>

[Ganath]

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>I've checked out the controller myself. I still don't like it, but it can get the job done... it's not going to get in the way of gameplay.</div>

[G-man Joe]

<div style='font: 11pt "comic sans MS"; text-align: left; '>I played it too. It's not as ergonomic as the PS2 controller but it's not bad. Though the black and white buttons at the top will be a long thumb reach for some.</div>

[Eric]

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>Gamecube? There's another system launching in the same month?</div>

[Gone to Shakers]

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Well, if you watch Much Music or MTV, you'll probably see tons of commercials, and probably any sports Network as well. Futureshop where I work is out of Pre-orders though</div>

[Blotus]

<div style='font: 10pt "arial narrow"; text-align: left; padding: 0% 5% 0% 5%; '>Might have to rent one of those monstrosities to play Halo. That game looks neat.</div>

[Gone to Shakers]

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>JFG on steroids, of course it's going to be cool</div>

[Torgo]

<div style='font: 9pt Arial; text-align: left; '>It's just not my cup of tea. The only game I thought it was useful for was Crazy Taxi. Playing Code Veronica was a chore, and don't get me started on Marvel vs. Capcom 2...</div>

[Eric]

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>MvsC2 was easy to play on the DC what are you talking about? Do you know how to hold the controller?! :)</div>

[Gone to Shakers]

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>He disagree's with not just one, but 2 people, he's obviously a biased fanboy who for some reason hates Microsoft AND Sega!!! =)</div>

[New and Improved Zeus]

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Man, I could barely hold the thing. You must be a sasquatch</div>

[Sephy]

<div style='font: 12pt "Times New Roman"; text-align: left; '>What are you, a dwarf?</div>

[Derithian]

<div style='font: italic bold 14pt ; text-align: center; '>I don't mind some things. But when you go off on the godliness of MvC2 you should be shot for that you bastard</div>

[Lee]

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Your small, pathetic carnie hands amuse me. Make tiny shadow puppets and bring me my booze...if you can hold it! Ha! Tiny hands!</div>

[Ganath]

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Speaking of which... I'm off to find my gun...</div>

[Drew S.]

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Ha-haaaa!!!!</div>

[kali o.]

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I'm waiting to see how Morrowind holds up....because:

- It was developed for the PC....so this should give a good indication of future quality from PC developers....

- I loved Daggerfall. If the chapter turns out to be good, it'll qualify the system as a must-buy for me....

Too bad I don't see it being released anytime soon (despite the claim that'll be available shortly after launch)....

Oh yeah, the control seems fine to me too....

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>No, I'm just not a sasquatch. I gotta see it now, maybe they actually listened to reason and made it smaller since E3</div>
