Mario was never the same after SNES...downhill from there....Mario64 was lame and it never recovered....
FF3 was the best ever!! everything after that sucked...until FFX which was pretty good...but still not as good as FF2 or FF3.

Another Swedish Magazine - Reset
This info is second hand, if anyone wants to corroborate it, feel free!
Perfect Dark Zero - 7
Project Gotham Racing 3 - 10 (9)
Kameo: Elements of Power - 8 (5)
Condemned - 8
(The scores in brackets are "second opinion" scores)
On PD0, the review apparently says the game takes approx six and half hours to complete, but apparently there are "plenty of other things to dislike".

Interesting, the games are getting very mixed reviews.
Wonder how much of those high scores are just given for the "novelty value" that it's a new console, thus the experience of a new toy is getting mixed with somewhat lacklustre gaming experience, clouding objective judgement.
That happens with every new console launch, even if the game is only mediocre by gameplay and innovation standards, the new shiny graphics , the new controller and the new console make the experience more fun.

Kameo is getting consistent 8-9's
PGR3 is getting consistent ~9.0's
COD2 is averaging 9.2
The only ones getting overrated are GUN, and TOnyHawk, gamespot nailed both of these with 6's though. Which they deserve.
The Kameo's got 5 (that swedish mag) and 7 too (1UP).
There are other reviews than ign and Gamestop too, you know
PDZ also, even though there aren't many reviews as such yet, but the reception has been very mixed for that game.

yes Titanio, please share some info on their impressions.expletive said:
IMO numbers do not tell the story. for example, I have a feeling that Condemned was rated so low mostly for the short length.
CoD2 being a 7 is a mystery to me as well unless the reviewer just is sick of WW2 games period. I demoed it and it is addictive and insane.

They were great for their time, but they don't really hold up by today's standards. Comparing with the games available today, I would have to rate FF7 and FF9 as better than 4 or 6, though 6 had a ton of playable characters (14). Even so, I'm not sure I could actually go back and play the PS1 era games now due to the vast gap in graphics as well as the lack of voice acting.

I dunno. IMO when FF went 3d the story and gameplay went to crap. Not until FFX did it finally get back on track, and even then IMO it's very stale and not innovative at all, it's really really big but that's about al lit has going for it, the story was pretty good too. I'm still hyped about newer FF's though...
FF3(6?) still stands out in my mind as one of the best RPG's I've ever played, great story, TONS of stuff to do, tons of chracters to play. KOTOR has a spot right beside it. Chrono-trigger is a little behind that...

Transistors not layout important.
It is minor matter if layout of edram is daughter card or not, for example, PSTwo has most components that were seperate now integrated on one chip.
What is important is that hardware budget in transistors spent on edram could have been used for extra capabiltiy in GPU or CPU.

You clearly missed my point.
The edram is NOT part of the GPU, therefore it is illogical to think that the transistor count in the edram has anything at all to do with the transistor count in the GPU.
What? Do you think MS sat around and said "We can only afford XXX number of transistors total, so let's figure out how to spread them around"?
That is NOT how it works.
