->
-> I rented that.  That's a really good game.  Acclaim made it.  They
-> wanted it to be an action game with no story, just action.  The graph

->
-> MD> Courier Crisis - My friend rented this, who knows what
-> supernatural MD> force drove him too, but it's pretty lame.  About
-> the coolest thing MD> is that you can have the kid on the bike "Give

->  MD> and hear guys yell, "Arrest that punk!" The game itself, though,
->
-> That game does suck.  ut once again, Sony didn't make it or even
-> involve themselves in the game.  They just gave the company the go ah
-> making the game.
->
-> MD> was pretty lame. Mechwarrior 2 - Don't get me wrong, I worshipped
-> MD> the computer game. But a)they butchered the game into some cheap
-> MD> arcade remake and b0it was only 1 player. Dragon Ball GX - I
-> really
->
-> Mechwarrior 2 is another good title.  The company who made it wanted
-> to make it an arcade-like game.  I like it.  I wouldn't uy it, just r
-> it  until I beat it perfectly.
->
-> MD> hate to say bad things about a fighting game attuned to such a
-> great MD> anime series, but this game truly sucked.  It was entirely
-> MD> unoriginal, with nothing more than flashy combos.  I'm sorry.
-> (runs
->  MD> up to anime collection "I will never speak wrongly of you again,
->
-> Not made by Sony.
->
-> MD> i promise!") MTG: Battlemage - What do you get when you take one
-> of MD> the greatest card games of all time, and make it into a
-> MD> pseudo-real-time strategy game with graphics to cry over? This.
-> But
->  MD> don't get me wrong here.  I like the PSX.  Heck, I OWN it.  But
->
-> It sucks on PC, too.
->
-> MD> don't get me wrong here.  I like the PSX.  Heck, I OWN it.  But I

->
-> I wasn't talking about PlayStation, I was talking about Sony's

-> game  industry, either.
ahh, i see.  Hmm, well, i'll have to check up on that.  Sony must've
screwed up on SOMETHING.  I mean, nobody's perfect.
