Actually I have played a game made by Microsoft. It was called Boing, it's for the X-Box. I was very impressed. Had good sound, graphics, quality, and playability, as well as content. If anyone is interested, the controllers are not as bad as some have said. I played a generic brand of the actual x-box controller and it was very similar to the LogiTech WingMan controller. I have small hands so it was a bit large for me but shouldn't be a problem for most people. I was impressed with the game I played and have seen photos of other games that look just as good. I must admit after the dissappointmant that was N64 I am leery of purchasing another Nintendo made product until it has been out for a while and I have a longer period of time to form my opinion.
