@CCC: Yeah, the DS is the best handheld system out there (as I've already said, all of my systems are handheld so I can't really compare it to non-handheld systems). I really like it because of all of it's original games and it's super cool features (Dual Screens, a touch screen, a good microphone, Wi-Fi, Stereo sound, Wireless networking, ect...). I think nintendo will be able to do a lot with this system as long as they don't forget about it when the Revolution comes out.
Yeah, the argument was getting pointless. I still prefer PC any day, considering that you could play just about any game most consoles could handle on one. I'd rather spend money buying new upgrades to my comp rather than buying a new console to cope with the ever increasing standards of the game industry. I kinda wish
GS is OK for the most part. At least they bother to add a 'tilt' criteria to their ratings. If you know a better review site, let me know. There are far, far worse reviewers. One reviewer once rated a really great game I know as "too difficult", but screenshots show that the reviewer forgot to don on any weapons and armor.
Are you sure that's the Gamespot I know? Like all people, they sometimes make their mistakes and their review on Empire Earth II makes me question their judgement a bit, but overall, they're OK. I see no evidence of any bias against MS at all... if they did, they'd have an easy time beating up Age of Empires III.

Can I just go back a few posts and agree on the DS being a fantastic piece of equipment? I've never loved a game so much as Mario Kart DS, Advance Wars is digital crack and Nanostray is second only to Ikaruga. I haven't really played much on my Cube or Xbox since the DS.
Anyone seen the Japan sales figures for Animal Crossing? in 3 days it sold 300,000. it took Nintendog's a week to get 150,000. Animal Crossing is going to own the handheld world. though i've never played the cube version
Jimmi, what you said is extremely true, animal crossing and nintendogs RULE, animal crossing more so perhaps, it really depends if you like interation-simulation games like that though i suppose, which i certainly do.
