	What I can't understand is why everyone thinks Toshinden is such a
great game. I played it at Circuit City and I must say the control was
bad. There was a definite latency between my button presses and the

	Perhaps the next generation games will be better, but I'll be a
Luddite and stick with my trusty ol' p90 and the miniscule quantity of
games I can download from the Web.
