wow,thats pretty bad...as it was only the ps3 version(perhaps special edition)that you got bonus stuff,like playable goblin

i played about 30-40 minuts so far on the 360...i work nights and havent been to bed yet,and i am jiggered

the cut scenes,look like the characters,but still look xbox 1 if you ask me,the city is quite big,definetly bigger han metroplolis in superman returns....took a while to get to grips with the swinging,i am still not quite there yet...but it is enjoyable swinging around,and i did a mary jane mission,she rides with you and she tells you whether she wants to go low or high....first one was easy enough,no doubt they will son become a pain


thanks for the reviews KD

Wind waker worked great...although i didnt have the chance to try the gameboy connection...same with FF :crystal chronicals

metal gear solid twin snakes was also fine.

no probelms whatsoever...although,them two and the 4 pack zelda are the only GC games i have

I was trying to think what classic Mission Impossible game you could be talking about, then I read the article and it's actually Impossible Mission.  It will be interesting to see what they did with the remake.

LOL,sorry my fault...i must be getting old....but now i really dont remember this one

i'll correct the title

to be honest,i love Nintendo(i was a ninty man back in the 80's and hated the SEGA master system,hey,maybe i was some of the first fanboys...now i'm proud)

but the Wii,has been a little disapointing.........Zelda,was great as i expected,and i played it all the way through...but then,nothing,i am lucky if i play on it once a week,the VC is definetly the saving grace at the moment...but i am pissed that the main guns havent come out,i really want metroid and mario(even paper mario wouldnt go amiss here in europe)...resident evil 4 i want,and i am getting manhunt 2 for the wii,mainly because nothing else will be grabbing my attention for the console,if that game came on the 360,i would get it for that

i have enjoyed playing the virtual console games,but i enjoyed them as well on the NES etc...except that turtles game..hate that

excite truck,or watch that tree....is going back today(part ex towards spidey , MGS:PO or FF3).

also,the Wiimote gimmick,wore of quite quickly for me.....maybe again because more games that i want need to be released

but,i had the last 3 last gen consoles,and i aim to have this gen 3 consoles(just need PS3)...i just hope ninty pick up on the releases

what ever happened to the star wars rogue squadren games?,have any been confirmed for the Wii?

a remake of the classic mission impossible game will find its way to Wii shop channel...it wont be on the virtual console,and wont be on a disc...just the shop channel...now what worries me is how big will it be(file size i mean),as the game is also being released for the PS2,PSP and DS.....and if its coming out for those 3 as well....just how much will this download be

i am not really sure if i think this is a good idea

http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=76000

http://kotaku.com/gaming/poppin-fresh/wii-shop-channel-pops-its-cherry-257323.php


do you reckon this is a good idea?,i cant see it being the same size as the VC titles

i think we got a few of the titles that you already have this week

Mega Drive:
Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle
Virtua Fighter 2
Wonder Boy in Monster World

Turbografx:
Shockman



the mega drive titles are tempting,but i will have to wait....i am about to spend all my money on games today

  yiiiiarrrgh


double dragon,apparently coming to xbox live arcade this coming wednesday...its about time,it was reviewed in OXM uk in january...it got 7 out of 10


no pricing details yet

http://kotaku.com/gaming/abobo-alert/double-dragon-hits-live-next-week-257649.php

i have just realised it says you will have it up at 9am PST....damn,that will be about 4pm here(i think)....i would already have the game by then(and seen the film)........i'll still look forward to your review though,especially if you have worked so hard to get through the game/s for the reviews(unless the game was a real cakewalk )

its nothing against Gears of war or Epic when i say this,but i wonder whose idea it was to put the cog guides up for points as well

with the PS3 network,isnt there some problems with it?,not being stable or having voice,or is that all nonsense?

glad you are liking the maps ATB...are they still small like the others?thats why i never liked GoW online...the maps were too small

and i dont think i have ever disconnected while online with LIVE(1 time i did,but it was my IP)

actually a lot of people(including myself)have been making their say on major nelson.com

the fact that Epic wanted to release these maps for free,and microsoft stepping in saying that they want to charge for them has put a lot of people to question just exactly xbox live gold players are paying for...what i can see,is the playable demos a week earlier..and online play(at the moment,its just COD3 for me)...thats £40 a year,i was more than happy to give them this price,but now that MS are demanding money for what the developers want to give us for free........its a little heart breaking(i for one,couldnt care less about the gears of war maps,i dont play that online...its just the principle)

apparently,someone posted that the game cost $10million to make....the game sold 3million copies at $60 a game,which makes $180million

800 points for me costs about £7,not mega ,but again its the principle if i was interested in these maps

other games(COD3 included)have sold their maps for 800points as well,but we didnt find out that the devs wanted us to have them for free,like in this situation

what do you guys think?

I wish I could say something but I can't until 5/4 at 9:00am PST. (gotta doublecheck the time)  Until then, I'll confirm what IGN said - yes, the game is roughly 2.5 times bigger than the previous, there is a GPS-type system, there is a top-down map, and I can also say the side missions don't suck this time.

thanks KD...cant wait

i am in two minds whether to go see the movie tomorrow,so the game wont spoil anything for me.....but i dont think i could be bothered sitting in the cinema for 2hrs while i will have the spidey game,final fantasy 3 and (Hopefully)mgs port ops on me....i will want to go home and play

will do thanks,Xmann

i absolutely loved the spider-man 1 game on xbox....so anything like that(didnt play ultimate spider-man)i should be happy enough....hell,i can say right now i have proberbly worse titles in my 38 360 game collection

they play,usually,kinda like a GTA/New York sandbox  beat em up...doing missions...think superman returns,but hopefully better graphics,gameplay,story,villains..i could go on..well better everything i hope

EDIT:this part on gamefly,i think an IGN review makes it sound like a must buy for me

'The city is 2.5 times bigger than massive Spider-Man 2, and gives you a top-down map and view of the city, dotted with district names, mission objectives, and comes complete with a GPS-tracking system. All of this should solve the biggest complaints gamers had with Spider-Man 2's often ridiculous and mundane side-quests, and it gives gamers reasons to replay the game and explore its vast environments and varying missions.'

coming mid 2008,not THE 3rd person shooter i am waiting for(still no word on battlefront 3),but a new 3rd person shooter in the name of 'Fracture'...this picture shows that maybe this game will have some good Live Online Action...but maybe the screenshots show that it looks as though its leaning a little too much towards halo 2...thats what i reckon anyhow






looks okay...but what i really want is BF3...tell us now Lucas,you bearded t&*t..when is it out?

anyway,here are some details on Fracture


'Fracture advances players to the year 2161, where ecological and seismological disasters have radically altered the planet’s landscape, and a clash in ideologies places society on the threshold of war. Players set foot on the frontlines of this epic conflict in the role of Mason Briggs, a demolitions expert fighting for the Atlantic Alliance, the side that relies upon cybernetic enhancement. Pitted against the genetically enhanced soldiers of the Pacifican army, players will experience a revolution in 22nd-century warfare. In utilizing the core gameplay mechanic of Fracture, a destructive next-generation technology known as Terrain Deformation, players are equipped with an arsenal of futuristic weaponry to strategically reshape their surroundings on the fly.

Every action they perform dynamically reshapes the earth in ways no videogame has ever seen. When Briggs throws a tectonic grenade on a level battlefield, the ground blasts upward to provide access to an otherwise unreachable area. Moving on, when he comes across what appears to be an impenetrable structure, Briggs utilizes the alt-fire functionality on his rocket launcher to create enormous craters to burrow underneath the wall. Surrounded on all sides by enemies, Briggs heaves a vortex grenade, creating a swirling tornado-like mass of boulder, dirt and debris to dispatch his foes. These are just a few samples of the possibilities for Terrain Deformation. Players not only change the battlefield – they change the face of the battle itself. '

arrrgggghhh


the site of the shop(GAME) that i am getting this from,tomorrow...has taken metal gear port ops from its site,i cant find it anywhere,it was meant to be released tomorrow here...so i go to another site(HMV)..and there it says september 1st(imagine my tears)..so i ring up GAME,they say far as they know its still tomorrow................so if i go tomorrow(want to pick up final fantasy 3 for DS and spidey 3 for 360 anyway)and its been delayed i will be very pissed...when was it released in America?....november was it?...i hate Europe,i really do

as for FEAR,it was an okay game,but it did get a bit repeditive,i have heard that the expansion pack(5 hrs more gameplay),maybe coming to 360 in the form of a download<<<<<<thats just what i read in a magazine

I have a soft spot for DMC, so I find those shots sexy.

then get ready for HARD PORN !!



from kotaku

and from C and VG

either get them this thursday for 800points(4 maps)or wait until sept 3rd to get them for free

http://www.majornelson.com/archive/2007/05/01/new-gears-maps-coming-this-thursday.aspx

i have just been playing silent hill 1,and that game would be fantastic if it had silent hill origins(at least) engine....the game itself is still great,but i couldnt believe how dated the graphics looked....the guys shoulders were so square that i thought he was an extra from Dynasty.............the sound is still cuts the mustard though,and it still remains in my top ten of all time greats....i just wonder how great again it could be being remade...guess the same goes for the usual suspects of games(FF7 for one)

I really want to see what they can do with the new systems...

true,i think thats why i am looking forward to the new Alone in the dark game,i havent really been interested in them in the past

Not impressed.  Those don't look next gen to me, but as someone said have to see it in motion to get the full impact.  If there is any.

this is the only video i think there is at the moment...all 46 seconds of it

click on launch player at the right hand side of this page
http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=162604

the quality of this video is utter shite...and some have said it looks like it should be on the PSP

EDIT:i  dont think this video will do it justice

yay,i just finished this....good game,difficulty is proberbly just right for me(in other words,not that many timed missions)

the ending however leaves a lot of questions...

i still have one or two activities i wanna try,and i may try out online,but other than that,i fell as though i got my moneies worth,and thats all that matters

i think 90% is spot on

console versions are fine,except the first version of snake eater(mgs3)...that camera was a pain,but then the revised edition came out (MGS3 subsistance)and it was a joy...except that last boss battle

the game comes out this friday for me,so i dont know what the PSP controls are like,most games for the PSP though have the package come with it that are bastard controls and camera,liberty city stories is the same for me

yes...another game that i want for my PSP...(that makes about 4)

from kotaku,this vid which looks a bit too grainy,still has the creepiness!!...i am hoping that it will be a lot like silnt hill 2,as that was proberbly the most creepy of the SHs...espcially with the fog

watch the video,and tell me if you think thats what the PSP version will look like or is it just a poor video(viewing wise)

http://kotaku.com/gaming/spookypants/clip-creepy-silent-hill-origins-gameplay-256344.php?autoplay=true




><><><><><><><><><><><><>

here is another video(a better one)..again grainy,but still freaky...and what the f*&k does he pull out of that fire?????

click on launch player at the right hand side of this page
http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=163078

even though i have never heard of Catan,the past few months buzz that you guys have created has convinced me to at least try the demo

this friday(when games are released in europe),i have my hands full and my wallet empty.....spider-man 3,gonna go to the cinema on the friday to see the film,so the game doesnt spoil anything

and finally,we get final fantasy 3 for the DS

and metal gear solid:port ops for the PSP

Other than the shot with the gun pointed at the camera, that's a meh.

yeah that was my favourite of the group as well...the game is on my buy list,but not on my MUST buy list...and yeah i finished the first game....hated the second,and couldnt get into the third,i guess i will have to give them another go

hmm,we have had castlevania and legend of the mystical ninja for a few weeks now(i have castlevania...which is good,but not as good as castlevania 4)

i will post what we get this coming friday.............i think there is only majoras mask that is left that i really want(not counting the ones that wont see the light of day....chronno trigger,mario rpg,goldeneye etc)

not sure if you have seen this,isnt the best quality due to youtube,but the game does look great,and if you are a fan of final fantasy7,you will recognise a lot of the characters and places...............i cant wait for this,it has some gameplay footage nearer to the end

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzeIALNO9qU

no problem for me,i have a seperate internet line just for my 360,everytime i turn the 360 on i am always signed in...so that parts no biggie.......and as for teh 120gig content being deleted when you transfer the data from your old HDD,i heard it is just kameo videos and other lame stuff...if thats right then i am fine with deleting that as well

all i need now is the F*&^ing thing to be released here

hurry up MS

todays titles in europe are:

Battle Lode Runner (Turbografx)
Final Fight (SNES)
Mighty Bomb Jack (NES)



sorry,i dont know the prices,as i havent actually looked on my Wii yet,but expect around the usual prices for the usual consoles if they come to you guys,if you guys havent got these titles yet

i may get final fight if i have enough points

good game,and i prolly will get the new stuff,but since i cleared the main story i havent really gone back to it....perhaps this will breathe new life in it for me

i heard about COD moving away from WWII a long time ago(before number 3 came out)...i was hoping it was a rumour

call of duty should stick with WWII,its what made it....now with modern battles,its gonna get like battlefield,which is good...but ,i want a WWII shooter....the medal of honour games are crap,and i always relied on my COD games to give me that WWII stuff

i wonder what it would be like if they went the other way,and brought out a WWI shooter,no one does world war 1 games...of course WWI was just known as 'The Great War' at that time,because the sequel hadnt been written yet

how come this is the only place that people hate Jade Empire?,it was a great game,and also got game of the year

i have been playing this again for a few days now,and every time i go on it and play for a few hours,all it has done is rain ...constant rain (in the game that is)...i think its glitched or something,somehow...although it isnt really effecting my game,but i did see it sunny when i first bought it last year

the darkness,stranglehold,blue dragon,too human,forza 2,mass effect...are all dead certs for me...while things like the movie tie-ins,pirates 3,spidey 3 and the like are all...'prolly pick up'...still mass effects 'rumoured' june/july release date was still preffered as it fitted in nicely...now we have blue dragon,halo3,GTA4 and mass effect all coming out in 3 months.....anyone know what has happened to lost odyssey and alan wake?,....as these are two titles i am waiting for as well

i take it you mean final fantasy/dragon quest games on the VC,not just square enix games,because Actraiser is Square enix,which came on VC last week

f**k,f**k,f**k!!!!!


DELAYED!

now pencilled in for September
