I just want to say that I'm with Xantar.
Controls and stuff are more important that graphics in my opinion....

I never said it wasn't as important. As you can see in my THPS pics, graphics can effect the gameplay and the way the whole game is played. I like good controls, but my definition of good controls could be way different from someone else's, that's why that is just an opinion that can't be enforced on everybody.

For example, PC players prefer the superior control of a keyboard and mouse for a FPS, while console players generally prefer a controler. Some Xbox fans would argue that Xbox has the best controler, some would argue that Gamecube has ther best, and some would argue that Ps2 has the best. If I would have listened to reviewers I wouldn't have touched Xbox with a 10 foot pole, but guess what? Right now I own all three (NGC, Ps2, Xbox) and Xbox is by far my favorite of the bunch.

*about Morpheus' Pics*

hmm...3 year old handheld vs. a few weeks old handheld.

You can't really compare graphics there. It's obvious the GBA can't pull a full regular 3D game (for the most part). It's like comparing the DC to the XBox.

For me, as long as gameplay is good, I will buy a game. I mean, look at Animal Crossing. Bad grapchis, but great gameplay.

But I don't want to throw this too far off topic. So I will get back to the original subject. If Nokia would've taken more time to make a better layout, this might've been a competitor. But since Nokia has made a few mistakes already with the N-Gage (bad layout, bad way to switch games, bad pricing), I just don't see this as a handheld. I see it as a cell phone with a few "snazzy features".

Aha, now I get it. You're saying that the greater power of the N-Gage will allow better gameplay in the games (for example, Tony Hawk will actually be 3-d instead of isometric).

If you said this before and I simply missed it, then I apologize. It seems to me that I was not the only one to misunderstand, but let bygones be bygones. In any case, now that you've cleared that up, I have no issue with you.

Carry on.
