Meh, it's half a year away and nobody cares anymore (well that's what Sony says about us Europeans).

yeah, it's annoying isn't it. We get a fair few readers from the US, so you'll be hearing plenty of more PS3 stuff that will make out blood boil, like how much fun they're having playing it whilst we sit on our hands.
What happened to metal gear solid?
And I've said it before but I'll say it again “PS2 graphics?”
I've said something else before too and I will say again as well.

Where is the innovation? Its all old titles updated, gameplay mechanics seem the same when there is so much innovation going on. NHL 07…NBA07…Rainbow Six…Elder Scrolls…Call of Duty 3…Fight Night 3…Gran Turismo, all of those we have seen before and the rest are well within a comfort zone with just better graphics.

Just look at the innovations out there, Wii maybe tiresome but it is a new concept with lots of potential variety. The arcades have some great titles like Tokyo Cop (move around on the mat is represented in game) and PC titles like Psychonauts and the The Movies and Spore.
