They had a conference showing 40 games that would be released on this platform, picks are below:

I'm not impressed to be honest! I thought the X-Box would be the best console released, but I'm starting to think that the GameCube could be the one to win back the market. Here are some picks from Nintendo's new machine :

Have to agree. Those X-Box shots look no better than PS1 games.

Have to disagree. Some of them screenshots look pretty damn impressive. Also, for people without PC's it has Championship manager coming out on it so that's a big plus. Playstation 2 will be the biggest console out of the 3 over time but I think X-Box is bound to be better than Game Cube. Even though Nintendo consoles are good. They only really seem to do well for about a year. X-Box will have the best internet capabilities out of the lot and alos have the best specifications out of the lot so it's bound to do well.

I think you might be exaggerating a little bit. for example:

And for an introduction, it aint all that!

Compare that with the replays on GT3 for example!

You can borrow GT3 for a few more weeks yet Kev. I'm in no great rush for it back!

Danni has taken TIF2002 back and swapped it with Grand Theft Auto 3 today. TIF is basically pants, and seeing as Pro Evolution Soccer comes out in a week or two anyway, it would have never got played.

Fair point, played FIFA2002 earlier and wasn't that impressed with it. Much like TIF2002 graphics are all very impressive but the game play seemed to be lacking.

I think TIF 2002 is a great game and I've played it lots since the day of release. However, about 10 minutes ago I was playing against my brother on it and got very pis*ed off with some things that happenned. Must admit though, It does have some very good points about it. Oh yeah, No1 will be me on it! :p

The inclusion of Division 1 teams is good...but the stats in TIF2002 are pants...they've got...

Fraser Digby in goal for the current season!!!

ISS Pro Evo 2 sounds superb, and looks even better. It's better than FIFA2k1, which doesn't really take much! :D

They haven't really got there information from the best place have they. Premierships fine. Verons included at Man Utd and everything so it must just be the 1st division. Still a good touch, the way you can enter the league and win the cup, get promoted and play in the uefa cup/champions league is good.

+ points

- Handballs are included. 1st game to ever do this.
- Loads of teams including timewarp teams and Schoolboy teams.
- Graphics
- playability seems to be quite good.
- Keepers can even get sent off for handballing. I chipped the keeper from just outside the area as he out of the box and he handled it on purpose. Thought that was classy

- points

- Players are too slow when they knock it in front of them.
- Not enough skills.
- You can get round players and they still manage to track back easy.
- Finishing is too easy.
- Slide tackling is too easy. You can do it from quite a long way from the player.
- When you bring the keepers out they sometimes seem to just run past the player.
- Set pieces are crap.

So - points wins then. I do love the game but ISS is always gonna be my fave. Top game.

First day i got my PS2 (about a year ago), I bought Fifa 2001 with it. Played it for 1 day...I played the demo more than that game. I've been too fair to the Fifa series. Everytime the lastabililty but I still give them another chance as every review seems to say, "the best of the lot". There's only been to good Fifa games, Fifa 94 and Fifa 98: Road to World Cup. The rest have been crap. Still tempted to get the new one though. :D :o
