<div class="IPBDescription">Um, woot?</div>According to the latest issue of the Official Xbox Magazine, Sega's Toe Jam & Earl will be brought back to spectacular life on the Xbox. Toe Jam & Earl III has been in development for quite some time, but until now, it wasn't known which platform would be getting the game. For more details, pick up the latest issue of the OXM (the one with Superman on the cover).

Holy crap, i think I just wet myself.

    I loved TJ&E, although 2 was a bit of a disappointment... But then again, since I have no intention of getting an X-Box I guess I'm gonna miss out.

    All you need is a DVD drive and a Geforce 2 and you will be able to run the Y-Box, the PC emulator for the X-Box. It is in development ATM. I visited the M$ HQ in Brisbane yesterday, signed my soul away with a NDA, and play with an X-Box. I gotta tell you, its nothing special. Halo is an obvious ripoff of Half-Life in some places, with a bit of Tribes 2 thrown into the mix. The only good thing about Dead or Alive is the, how shall I say, ample-chested female fighters.

    The gameplay alone in Halo (and I don't mean multiplayer or the first level) is enough to almost bring me to tears. Just sitting there and thinking "This is a game..."

    It's far from a Halflife ripoff.

    That's all I'm going to say.

    Halo SP levels go like this - room, followed by room that looks the exact same, followed by another deja vu room and guess what? Another room that looks og so similiar and then shockingly there is ANOTHER room that looks the same! I think they fell asleep on the copy and paste buttons when making the game <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->
    But MP was definately fun with 4 people, can't wait to save my money on X-Box and just buy the PC version when we can play online with more than 4 people!

    Good point Comprox... I didn't particularily care for those indoors parts... (hated some of them.. doesn't help that they're all textured with the same stupid grey texture...) </rant>

    I was more or less refering to the outdoors gameplay.

    Actually, more or less, the Silent Cartographer... and those *cough* other levels... <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->

    Sorry, this has gone well enough off-topic...

    But: Yep, It's called "The Fall of Reach". The book that is..

    You won't appreciate halo's story until you look into it.

    That said, I can't say I've ever been a big fan of Toejam and Earl.. I remember playing on of the games a loooong time ago.. I don't think I liked it.. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    Halo > all. Thats about all I have to say. Right now, im pretty dissapointed with the Xbox game selection. Jet Set Radio future is tiding me over, and Halo on lengendary is taking me forever. Last weekend, my friends hooked our Xboxes up to 2 TVS and played some 8 player Blood Gulch(IMO the best Multiplayer Halo map). It was the most fun ive ever had playing video games <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    Hehe, for some real fun on Blood Gultch, set all health to 400%, turn on shields, allow for all vehicles (just warthogs is fun too), and -most importantly- set all weapons to the rocket launcher... <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    Lots of fun to be had there... it is sooo fun to shoot a jeep right out of someone's hands as they're about to hop in... <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->


    So yeah, Halo MP is fun too... hehe.

    Yup HaloMP is the funnest. I dont own a X-Brick but my friend does and they call me over and we get 8 player Halo going, those are some good times.
    As for Toe Jam and Earl. That game was great fun but I dont think i am willing to spend some much over that one game ;P
