I always wanted a Neo-Geo back in the day, but the price tag was always too high. I have no idea how many quarters I spent on Samurai Showdown ("Sobu!") and Cyber Lip down at my local arcade. Well, now SNK is going to be making games for the Xbox. Firsties we get a port of Metal Slug 3 (why 3?), but beggars can't be choosers, and us old fogeys get some Neo Geo goodness.
Speaking of the Xbox, it seems as if EA finally had a epiphany and realized they were moronic for not utilizing Xbox Live. I subscribed to Live using the two-month free trial that came with Project Gotham 2. I have two Live-capable games, PGR2 and Crimson Skies, and I downloaded the extra maps for Splinter Cell. Live has it together. With the friends list, extra content, and good performance even on my crappy DSL, I'll definitely be paying for a year of this, if just to play Halo 2 online when it finally arrives. Why EA had to be uppity and try to ignore Microsoft's good online system is beyond me. If someone has some insight on the situation, I'd love to know.
