The rest is overpriced mediocracy. Harsh, man. Those games above are among the BEST. Other games - like Mario Kart, Diddy Kong Racing, Mario and Pilotwings - are also pretty great. And then there's a whole host of games which I would say are "good" as opposed to "great". There's no accounting for taste, but I think you might be looking at the machine quite harshly... Do you own an N64, or have you just played it in the shops or at a friend's place? "Overpriced"? Maybe, yeah. "Mediocracy"? Well, c'mon - look at the PS if you want mediocracy... >As for the psx the only decent games for it since cristmas is Resident Evil2 >and three lions.(and as for the PC it looks like Unreal will be the only game >worth buying until christmas). More harshness! I think Tekken 3, Gran Turismo, Bust A Move and Parasite Eve are all pretty good. OK, so they are all 'import' titles if you live in the UK - well, what can I say? You own a Yaroze, right? So you can get most games 2-3 months before they arrive in the UK for an extra fiver or so, running full-screen, full-speed... (RE2 is s-l-o-w in PAL). As for PC, well, if Unreal is all you are looking forward to then I hope it's as good as the hype.. :-) >The past 5 months have been the worse ever for game releases. C'mon!?! Does anyone else not think this is pessimistic BS (no offence)? :-) And the "traditionally quiet" summer period is looking pretty hot for PAL gamers, with GT, Tekken 3 etc scheduled for release...
