PLAY

Zelda :WW (GC) - Bought in May 2003... I'm still nowhere near
finishing this. And I suspect I never will. That's why I like it.
Looks twelve thousand times better than Gears of War.

WANT

Two toasted sandwiches and a cup of tea.

BIN

Zelda: TP (GC) - It looks ugly. I don't want it in my home.

Wii - The product concept is flawed. The technology is unimpressive.
The launch games are pitiful. Probably the biggest lemon since Bono
had a mid-life crisis.

4 people who have been to my house over the Christmas period are buying
one at the earliest opportunity.

I am addicted to tennis - probably the first game to grab my jaded
interest so much in years and it was free.

As you may have gathered, my personal jaded interest appears to be alive and
well as far as all three "next generation" consoles are concerned.

Not a single "next gen" game has been released that has me itching to buy a
new system. And my PS2/GC/Xbox have more than enough unfinished games
between them to keep me occupied for several years, so it will take
something pretty special to convince me to buy yet another new console. Wii
Sports isn't that game. The forthcoming Mario and Metroid games may be hard
for me to resist, though. Wii shall see...

PS3 - In terms of high-quality games, it's been a very poor start
indeed for Sony's latest offering.

Xbox 360 - The accountant's console.

Or, a really well presented package with some superb games.

Well, I still haven't seen a single game for the Xbox 360 that would
convince me to buy one. I'm fond of a decent racing game or ten, so I'm keen
to see how Forza 2 turns out, but I have quite a few racing games that I
want to polish off on the older systems, so I'm in no particular rush to
play that. And even reading about all the "Tom Clancy's Gears of Duty" stuff
bores me to tears these days, so they're not worth bothering with.

What's left? Oblivion...? I'd rather eat fresh walrus vomit off a rotting
otter's scalp than wade through that ***. Endless American sports
games...? Great stuff for some, I'm sure, but I can easily live without
them. Viva Pinata...? Just doesn't look like my type of game, TBH. The fact
is that the vast majority of Xbox 360 games look look like bland, formulaic,
American-friendy *** to me. I just can't be arsed with it.

Any other people out there who are perfectly happy to stick with their
unfinished "last gen" games for a while...?
