For my money, MGS has to be the toppermost game of the year. I just
managed to complete it on extreme a few days ago so the appeal is
wearing
somewhat thin now. I thought that Rollcage was the most enjoyable game
of
the year (expecially with two players) but it fumbled the ball when
going
for my best game of the year award when it spontaniously corrupted my
memory card. Also does anyone now why it insists on checking for a
memory
card when it loads but then fails to load any data from it? Weird.

I'm still waiting eagerly for the latest incarnation of Street Fighter
which
has be delayed for nearly two months now I think. The Virgin Interactive
site
( http://www.vie.co.uk ) claims that it's going to be out in the
beginning of
June. I shall wait and see...

I'm sticking my neck out here a bit when I say that I didn't really
enjoy
RR4 that much. Sure, the graphics are nice and the powersliding's fun,
but
I didn't get that adrenaline rush you get when playing WipEout 2097
(Challenge 2 of course).

Anyway, I've got a Software Engineering exam it ten minutes so I think
I'd
better go ;)

Cheers,
