Yea, cause we all know that if you are allowed to make over the top stuff with no restictions of content, you automaticly get game gold. Well, except for games like State of Emergency, Conkers Bad Fur day, Kingpin, and any other stupid game that serves no perpose but for 10-13 year kids to play it and go "Woah, he said the F-word. WOAH, He said it again!"
Out side of Conkers, Rare also had to their credit 2 Killer Instinct games that were pushing the limit of what was allowed in video games as far as violance goes.
And were the heck did you get the idea that MS has quality as a requirement for their developers. The X-Box has the highest crap to good game ratio I have ever seen. All the X Box fan boys say Halo is a great game. It was good, but I wouldn't say that it is great. So were are your other great titles?
The kind of games that I see advertised for X-box are the lamest kind. Shovel-ware meant to get casual gamers who are too stupid to think about looking up a review online or in a magazine to see if it is anygood or not and instead buy a game soly on the looks of the cover or on some ad that appeals to people who drink floor wax. Like that Golf game that was in EGM ads on the edge of 4 or 5 pages that depicts chearleaders spanking each other, or that Stuntman ripoff called Chase that replaces the stuntman with a woman trying to get video perverts to buy the game.
In all honesty, the only good x-box titles I have seen, have been Me-too titles that I can get for PS2, PC, and even gamecube. Between the X-Box's over bundance of crapware and the gamecube's lack of exclusive titles, I think that the PS2 is the system to have, though I still can see why it is the oldest of the three and not the cheapest...
