Should be up sometime soon! >From what I've read V3s are a major disappointment and TNT2s Ultras seem to shit all over them from a great height. You can even get wrappers by Creative for their TNT2 card to play GLIDE games. I'm not sure exactly when TNT2s are out here though, since I've seen internet mail order companies advertising them in their price lists, but I don't think any-one has them in stock. As for Driver, i really can't get the hang of steering in this game, is it just me, or does it take a while to get used to, 'cos at the mo, i really can't see what the fuss is all about!
