   That'll help me decided whether to bother going next gen then.  If   
   they're going to continue to try to please everybody, even though they   
   *know* they'll still get panned by the media and not outsell the likes   
   of EA, then they can do it without me as well.

   That's seemed somewhat amusing when I played it.  I'd really like to   
   pick it, Sonic Heroes and Shadow up for the Gamecube, just for   
   completeness.  But I don't want to pay anything for them, so it probably   
   won't happen soon.

   It depends on whether it has a character with some weird quirk he   
   doesn't figure out until the middle of the game, and a chick with huge   
   tits....
