At the end of the day, it's down to MS to decide when they want to release the games for maximum market impact and when they actually can fit them into the manufacture and release schedules.


yeah, Halo 2 has a lot to answer for.

I don't really understand why they wouldn't want big 'AAA' titles being released together, or even close, the XBOX sure needs 'em. At least there should be a couple of Rare titles, post-H2.

It’s a little-known fact (that even the Rare Witch Project boys haven’t found) that Banjo-Threeie was a secret unlockable feature in Ghoulies - but as no-one bought our splendid haunted house romp, no-one will ever play it. So there.


No one bought it because it was dross. It was pretty much universally panned by the critics.

Now, does the game really contain a Banjo unlockable, or is someone at Rare desperately trying to squeeze out a few extra sales to free up some warehouse space? :)

It would certainly tempt me to by the game if it is inded included but until i know im nt going to take the risk. GBTG is meant to be a crock of s**t and of what little ive seen of it ive no need to argue.
