How goes Project X? Things are going really well. Other than that I can't say really anything. Kinda sucks, but that's the way it is - and I want to keep my job :) However, I will say that I personally don't think we will compete directly against DC/PSX2. Next Gen Online had an interview with Jay Smith, CEO of Adrenalin Interacive. He put it best when he said "there is room for all three to live successfully in the same marketplace" (meaning PC, video game system, & NUON). > Yeah, right... if I were wealthy, maybe.

Hopefully, what they do provide will be good quality. > Oh well, Sony seems to have 'em all by the balls at this point, I love > it! Thankfully, that's just the Jananese launch. Sega's launch over here should be much better since more games will be complete by then. > I may go with MGS. Does it have replay value, or is it boorish to > play after you know all the tricks and secrets? I can't really comment since I rarely play through games again once I finish them. There are too many games out there for me to dwell on one for too long. I still have a stack of unfinished games that got put aside once Zelda came out (one of which is Tomb Raider - yeah I'm slow).
