GBTG... That's even an unwieldy acronym! Nothing like the amazingly wordlike KOTOR for instance. I know nothing about that game, as a result I have no opinion, which as a result means I'm currently not interested. Yes, what can one say indeed.
Oh yes, there is also Perfect Dark Zero, which Rare's site has FINALLY confirmed IS being made (as though the anime looking renders just made themselves up anyway :D), but they aren't revealing ANYTHING except that it's STILL in the discussion or planning stages. Then again, planning the program is actually a lot of the work. Once that's done it's kinda downhill except that one may find one's self constantly adding new stuff as they go along, like in a game for instance... Perfect Dark Zero may be released so late it would be best just to release it on the XBox 2. In fact, that would probably be the best launch title they could have. Halo could rule the first, and PD can rule the next system. Of course, this would be bad news for those who got an XBox FOR PDZ. Personally, it's THE FPS I most want, even though I know nothing about it except I loved the prequal. Time Splitters 2 wasn't bad or anything, but to be totally honest it felt more like expanding on Goldeneye then expanding on PD. Pretty much meaning that while it's a great game (save for the lack of a non-aiming mode sight, that was so annoying to lack...), I enjoyed PD much more. Of course, this does give one positive sign, that a number of Rare's talent is still IN Rare. Heh, though in the future MS may just decide to buy out Free Radical to complete their collection :D.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
