[Gllug] Microshite XBox unveiling (Review)

[Tushar Joshi]

Well yesterday was apparently the XBox unveiling, but I figure it was not,
or rather hope not, since there weren't many people there at all. Plenty of
machines to play with and off course, free beer :) They also had some small
ritz sized snacks. Anyway not that I was there for free beer/food, I
manageds to play on quite a few games. A couple I really liked. Although
the graphics weren't bad, I might not be able to tell the difference
between the XBox and a PS1. Speed wasn't much better, although there were
no complaints about it (coming from someone who plays games twice a year). 

The control pads were complicated, unlike the PS1 where you have one
directional control, you have 3 on the XBox, which did my head in. So half
the time I was trying to work out which one did what. They had about 3
different control pads there, one control pad was like a steering wheel and
you could move one of the sides to simulate the top of a real steering
wheel. 

Overall, I'd stick with a PS1, I haven't seen the PS2 yet.
