The SCEE scene seems much more alive than us. Chicken or the egg? > And, for Sega fans, please don't get touchy.

God was I hoping it would be Master of Monsters. I looooved that game on the Genesis and had such high hopes for it. However, the review on PSX.ign.com make it sound like crap. They say the music in this version is "one unimaginative, droning loop". How can this be? The Genesis version had beautiful music! Well, I don't have TR3 or GT so I can't comment on those. Metal Gear provided me with probably a month of gaming nirvana. People claim it's short, but it was the perfect length for me. In this day of too-many- games-to-play I appreciate something I can complete in a month. If you want action I hear Tenchu is good. Haven't played it myself though. Cheers, Scott
