Are you talking about Slate, Sword 4 Hire? He's pretty cool too, but I like the chicks, I dunno why. I thought that *SPOILERS* the head honcho....oh man....I forgot his name too....you know, the evil guy. I haven't played this game for a year, so I forgot too.
I have the same dilemna too. I don't want to buy the stupid X-Box, but yet....I want to play all those cool games and all. Makes me sad when I think about it.
