Next Gen Systems - My Take ??/??/02

Well, here's my thoughts on this carp...

Xbox

IT R0X0RZ!!! I love the design of it, the way it looks, etc. I don't really see the purpose of the Back button on the controllers though. Another thing, why the hell are the cables so short? The controller cables are nice and long, but the power cord and A/V cables are too bloody short! Does Microsoft think I live in a damn 10x10 cell or somethin?

Gamecube

It looks like a damn toy, and most of the games aren't very enjoyable as far as I'm concerned. The controller is too small and weird. And what the hell is with the power cord!? I can't set the GC on a table unless I plug it into an extention cord because if I leave that big AC adapter, or whatever the stupid thing is, hang down, the plug will probably pull out of the GC (or just pull the damn thing off the table). SSB:M is kinda fun, but I tend to get bored with it in a hour or so. The only reason I decided to have this in my collection is for the WWF games and FPS games if there's any good ones. WWF Wrestlemania X8 should be cool.

Playstation 2

PS2 is a pretty nice system. I've probably spent as much time playing it as Xbox. The controllers and cables are pretty much the same as PS1, but at least they're black instead of that gay white/gray color. PS2 has some of the best games I've ever played. GTA3 is fun since you have so much freedom: do a drive by in a gang neighborhood and wait for the ambulance to show up so you can steal it and run over the goons that were driving it, then go get back in your Banshee and pickup a hooker to refill your health. Devil May Cry... ooooh! I can't say enough good things about that game. I love it! Final Fantasy X is also fun, but it kinda sucks once you get your characters leveled up as high as they can go because you can kill the final bosses with one goddamn hit!

In closing, I think PS2 is a must have, but Xbox is for keeps. It's not a Sega system that's gonna die in no time flat; Bill Gates couldn't go bankrupt if he tried. He'll keep pumping life into it at any cost. Obviously, Nintendo isn't going anywhere either, but their games are just getting too kiddy. I mean how many dumbass Rugrats games do we need!? How do those things actually sell?
