what goes around...

So aparantly the list of Xbox 360 launch games have been announced, and theres not many.

Lets break em down shall we?
For a start the usual collection of EA "casual gamer" sports games ,
FIFA? another update? Why?? , we had the perfect footie game 10 years ago with Sensi? What more do we need ?Realistically modeled rooney spit , milimetre accurate falling down near another player to get a free kick? pixel perfect off the pitch spit roasting??
Cheers EA , but we're all good for football games right now ,thanks for calling ..Maddens?? NFL is a minority sport in these parts always was ,always will be , same with NHL hockey."Need for speed most wanted"? "need for an xbox 360 port of burnout" thats what.

Call of Duty 2,Elder scrolls IV and Quake IV will be great on the PC and cheaper so why bother?
So I can "play" on Xbox live?? So I can play with a load of bottom feeder 14 year olds who get to hide behind the anonimity of the 'Net and call everyone who so much as dares to fire in their direction a "fuckin ass faggot", ....you kiss your mother with that mouth ,son?
Return to Castle Wolfenstein, well was great on PC ,but that was three years ago,
Unless its a remake? , which would mean its "Return to return to Castle Wolfenstein"
Splinter cell? naah lost all faith in them after the in games ads for a certain brand of chewing gum.I'd rather be playing Metal Gear , and to be honest I'd much rather be playing Deus Ex III..on a PC.

Project gotham? yeah fair enough , it'll look pretty, but wouldnt you rather rather be playing GTA??, hell I'd rather be playing Ridge Racer.

Kameo: Elements of Power ??? never heard of it , although I distrust any game that substitutes K for C, I'm still getting over mortal kombat IV.
Huh, kameo/cameo ??
Unless? ...unless it allows you to "be" dodgy 80's pop act Cameo, and do your own version of "word up" preferably with microphone and dance mat while a CGI avatar jives about in a dodgy eighties MTV friendly studded codpiece ,whats that? No? Then I aint interested.


Which brings us to Perfect Dark zero?Possibly this may be the exception to the rule if the original Perfect dark team are involved in this.
But they probably arent

I see myself buying a PS3 because I'm a sucker for Namco games, and possibly a Nintendo revolution for the wild and wacky wavable 'pad and the retro gaming support, but I doubt I'll buy one of those silver 360s...word up.
