So I received two of my three PS2 games from Amazon...alas, still no
Grand
Theft Auto III. Oh, well. It's no
GTA3, but I must say I was pleasantly
surprised to see that
Batman: Vengeance features 5.1 digital audio (well,
in cut-scenes anyway).
- GameSpot has begun their in-depth coverage
of Halo with a
write-up of the game's enemies, weapons and vehicles.
- With just over two weeks to go, a couple
of Xbox-related items are shipping early: MadCatz
has just shipped their accessories for the system (as well as their GameCube
products), and EA
has announced that they are shipping Madden NFL 2002.
- Speaking of EA, they
have also announced that Agent Under Fire has gone gold and will
be in-stores on November 13th. All of these gold announcements for console
titles are very silly, since unlike most PC games, console titles tend to
have set-in-stone release dates.
- Cube.IGN continues to milk Rogue Leader
for everything they can, with six
new movies and 70 new screenshots. At this rate, who needs to actually
play the game?
- Also on Cube.IGN tonight is part
two of their interview with ATI's Greg Buchner.
- Okay, Twisted
Metal for kids?
That's just wrong.
- Look out Xbox, playable
GameCube kiosks are making their way into Toys R' Us stores.I wonder if
they'll crash?
Console Game of the Evening (continuing
Milk 'em Till it Hurts week):
Bomberman.
Don't get me wrong, I love
Super Bomberman and a few other games in this
franchise, but good lord has Hudson managed to mess things up. Each new
Bomberman
title that comes out features some sort of platform adventure or RPG gameplay
sloshed together with the classic multiplayer action the series is known for.
