Microsoft X-Box: A-

Maybe it doesn't have the largest/most varied game library, but what the X-Box does have is just awesome. I have to admit, I cannot stop playing HALO. HALO 2, and Ninja Gaiden are also coming to this great system, and heck, even Perfect Dark is making its appearence on X-Box. The LIVE online subscription is the best online service I have ever seen. It is almost flawless. I think the X-Box deserves an A-.

Sony Playstation 2: B+

I know many of PS2Fantasy's Sony zealots will disagree with me on this grade, but it is what Sony deserves, IMHO. Large, and impressive game library, but Sony really dropped the ball when it comes to online service, and graphics. Sure, the games look good, but they could have been better had Sony taken its time with the system, instead of rushing it, releasing the system early, with a backfired attempt to get ahead of the competition. Grow up Sony, gamers would rather wait and buy and impressive console, rather than purchase an immediately available sub-par system.

Nintendo GameCube: B-

Ok, it's nice, its got the games we grew up on. It's lovable, and gosh-darnit, it just looks so cute! Aesthetically speaking, GameCube looks amazing. Being as forthcoming as possible, I have to say that games just aren't fun... Sure, I love Mario, and Banjo Kazooie, and Donkey Kong, but sometimes, you just have to have a shoot-em-up-kill-everything-in-sight kind of game. GameCube just doesn't offer something like this, and while its respectable, it gets boring fast. The only reason I gave Nintendo a B- is because of the fact that I'm a Zelda whore, and proud to admit it. One of the greatest games of all time, IMHO, and it's only availble on GameCube? Where do I sign up, Miyamoto?
