Unreal Championship 2 is coming

by Steve Parsons { Jan 13th 2005 at 1:04AM }

And it's for Microsoft's little black box. This preview of "Unreal Championship 2: The Liandri Conflict" drops some interesting facts. Like finishing moves for your character, ala "Mortal Kombat". Hmm… There are various other features that raise an eyebrow too, but then I'm looking at the game from an "Untreal Tournament 2004" perspective, having never played the first game.

It sure sounds like good chaotic fun, though. While I don't think I'll ever get the urge for a Nintendo machine (sit down big "N' fans, that's not an insult, just personal choice), Microsoft's box is looking more appealing with each big release…

"..14 playable characters including Raiden from Mortal Kombat.."

This sounds worse each day.

What? You mean you don't own an XBOX yet? Are you out of your mind? OK, Halo phenomenon aside, there are too many good games for this thing already out, despite waiting for UC:2...which I must say is low on my list of anticipated games. I can't imagine that UC:2 will sell and Xbox to you if Halo2 already hasn't done so.

Most people have PCs for their FPS needs. No I don't own an XBOX.

Steve's "I might one day own an xbox" comments are really starting to bug me.

I feel a bit foolish for reading an Xbox site where at least one of the writers doesn't even own an Xbox.

Come on - if you're going to do a game blog on Xbox stuff, please get the required gear and get into it.

Toying with the idea of unsubscribing in protest.

In case you'd never noticed, this is www.joystiq.com. We cover ALL games and systems. The Xbox part is just a subsection of the site. Just because I don't own one, that makes me ineligble to show an interest and write about it? How exactly? Just because I don't own one doesn't mean I don't use one regularly.

By your definition, writers about cars aren't entitled to do stories about Ferrari's if they don't own one. Sports writers can't write about baseball because they don't own a baseball team. Taking it even further, news reporters on television can't do stories on violent crime because they've never shot anyone.

When I start writing reviews of Xbox titles when I don't own one, then you can start bitching. Until then, give it a rest will you.
