I'm still plating Tony Hawk Pro Skateboarding 'cos it's my fave game out from last year, I've got all the tapes with a few skaters and all golds with a few but some more to do :) Medal of Honour is a pleasant surprise. After owning a PC and playing Half Life, Unreal T, Quake 3 (not as good as Unreal T IMHO) I didn't think I'd enjoy MOH but although buggy (sniper rifle cross hair on head, shoot and make bullet hole in thin air !) and it is too easy I think that's excellent, and shows 1st person shooters can be done on PSX. US GT2. Played it a bit at my mates. I don't like racing games, or at least I didn't but doing the licences in it has taught me how to drive so I like it now :) !!! I don't think my mate has noticed any bugs, although I don't think he's played it enough to get the 97% but finished bug, and he hasn't been whinging about memory card saves vanishing! Champ Man 99/00, but I've hardly played that cos I still prefer playing games on PSX to PC. In an arcade today I played Sega Virtua Tennis which is excellent, and Capcom's errr, Shoot em up bottom to top, Gamma Wing, Delta Wing? Something like that, it has a ludicrous amount of sprites on screen at once, was pretty good fun. I don't play that sort of game cos I can't remember patterns but I was with a mate who likes it. > Anyone got anything on import recently? > > > Personally I am playing FzeroX (only £10 at GAME now!) and Gran Turismo 2, > which I got on import from the US a month back.

I'd be interested in finding out if Shenmue is the amazing movie game experience as suggested about a year ago or has turned into the Quicktime movie fest as suggest in the last few months ;) I think it is in Japanese. Actually I know it's in Japanese cos a friend was talking to another friend about the lip sinking that had been done in it and whether they'd redo it for UK or just do subtitles, which would suggest Japanese speech ;) Are there any good games coming out on anything soon? Seems like "good games" are coming out Easter, i.e. Black and White, Giants, Perfect Dark. I'm interested in that Spiderman game also.
