2003: Year of the Dragoon Comments by Tom Bramwell

Considering the fact that it's an on-rails shooter, where the player mainly control the direction of firing, it's quite an interesting slip-up. Maybe this one won't go Turok and they want to spice up the gameplay a bit.

Shoot-em'ups are lovely, though. Just got my import Ikaruga, and it's heavenly. Godly.

And just got my first first post also! Joy!

Duc, the original Saturn/PC game will be an unlockable secret in Orta.

moving on..

Ikaruga is a seriously sweet game Viktor. Hopefully it's getting upgraded instead of porter to the GC because i'll spend the money for an even better version. As for Panzer Dragoon delay-- that isn't leaving a whole lot for this christmas. Albeit it won't matter in console sales because Microsoft will just market the hell out of Xbox anyway, but both Brute Force and now this have been delayed into 2003. Perhaps they're wanting gamers to focus on Xbox Live's release here in the U.S.? 2003 for Xbox looks very very bright, with it's biggest games coming out. Project Ego, Brute Force, Panzer Dragoon, Star Wars KOTOR, Star Wars Galaxies, B.C., Halo 2, and more great games.

I also like the fact that Microsoft is so willing to delay it's games to release quality. That's where they differ from Sony and are similiar to Nintendo. You can blame this delay on Sega but you just know it's got a lot to do with Microsoft... they wouldn't let a game this big miss the Christmas season by just one month if they didn't have a good reason too.

Morrowind. That's a testament to a LONG development time. But it's brilliant. My game of the year, though Battlefield 1942 comes close with its fun factor.

It's bout time you got Morrowind, Jimbo. Truly a great game. Try killing all the shop owners and stealing their shit.

That's your idea of a great game? Jeez.
