Richard;


Have heard much about Asheron's Call, infact, only last week we were

discussing it among management here.  I have yet to indulge, as my forte is

console games and not online gaming - but thats changing with all the recent

advances.  I am very much looking forward to getting a taste of Asheron.  I

have a few mates at Microsoft - and they too - have talked much about the

mighty X Box, which I saw first hand at E3.  I agree, the X Box will bring

the PC closer to the console than any other platform.  I am actually quite

keen to see how Dolphin will do - as it seems more and more developers are

being frustrated by the many coding/programming issues with PS2.  Talking

about Asheron, do you recall Active Worlds?  They were involved with 3D

virtual world rendering and avatars for some time, and can customise their

engine for as little as $60k for partners.  Back to PS2 - early reviews have

been poor...which I find shocking, for I felt the titles were quite

exciting, as was control, wh!

en I messed about with a few titles (Gran Turismo, FIFA 2001, Madden 2001

etc).  Interestingly, for as little as �100 you can pick up a dreamcast.

Ugly and boxy, but still 128 bit of pretty nice stuff.
