so which sega title are you mostly looking forward too ??

im definately looking forward to VF4 Evo and Virtual on Marz..

[Vicious_2003]

Man Im excited over a few of those titles but "Virtual on Mars" sounds like a MAJOR Phantom Crash rip-off. Otagi Myth of Demons seems interesting though.

[ssjtrunks13]

Just Sonic Heroes looks good to me right now. But if I do get a gamecube I'd look forward to Sonic Adventure DX Director's cut as well.

[ToxicUK]

Most definitley Sonic Heroes!!!
