  1. It's a great action film, but what else does it have? It was not a great follow up for T2, which had a bit of a message, some depth and thought put into it. I only watched T3 once, and this is what I remember: * Glasses joke * Boob joke * John Connor stupidly assumes T800 is the same one he dropped in a furnace * Undermine entire premise of T1/2 by making John Connor less important * Introduce someone else who is important, but never came up before * Explosions, crane goes through building, lots of guns in a graveyard * Sarah Connor killed off off-screen * Brand new fusion bomb fuel cell semi-literally = deus ex machina * Fail in the end anyway, unpleasant scene where everybody in the world dies
  2. "must be", no, but anyone ought to think "could be". Especially with 60s/70s comics that almost anybody should recognise the names on. You don't have to know the first thing about comic books to have heard how much they can go for. I'd love to believe he's above this, but I imagine he's just trying to save face after making such a daft mistake
  3. Looks like Liv Tyler after a severe allergic reaction
  4. Challenge accepted
  5. I had to find the line between appreciating a classic series that skipped me by and masochism :p
  6. Bit of both, it's been a while since I bought a fighter and my favourites of recent years have been Blazblue and Skullgirls, which I'm hoping for something in the vein of (even if not quite as good, I tend to find in games where I like the characters, eg Naruto/One Piece games, that makes up somewhat for lapses in gameplay). Plus it's pretty cheap. As for the other SMT games, I'm starting with Lucifer's Call to prepare for SMT IV, might go back to DDS if I enjoy those!
  7. This would be the perfect cross-platform PS3/Vita title given how well P4G worked on the Vita.
  8. So I may be a little late to this party but....
  9. As an aside, a domain name for Persona 5 was registered today recently, so that certainly looks safe As a new but already big fan of that series, I am glad Atlus are OK.
  10. It's £15 for the disk copy in more than one place right now, including Tesco.
  11. I don't remember any free games, what's this? Something with the AR cards?
  12. It was a great match, so different from that before it though. A real measure of speed, power and reaction times. I thought they both made too big a deal of the roof though. On a calm day how much does it really matter...?
  13. You can tell that 5 set match has had something of a lasting effect on Murray, but he's still playing solidly. Some great aces, not really sure where this match will go.
  14. I can't help but think Murray couldn't beat either of these guys right now.
  15. Don't start with Persona 4, not if you want to try any of the other games any time soon.
  16. Yeah I thought that interview was terrible too. No wonder Murray is not so fond of the media. What sort of questions are those after a 5 set battle like that?
  17. I don't mind crowd bias, that's to be expected, it's the home-field advantage. However putting off the opposition mid-point is just not on.
  18. The umpire should've said something more often. Must be so off-putting to have the crowd cheering against you when you haven't even lost the point yet, only to have your return followed by "ooohs". That and the clapping at the hawkeye camera are just lame. Please, have some quiet British dignity Wimbledon...
  19. I would've thought the Vita should've been able to emulate them at 60Mhz, or have patched them (or just released the NTSC version in EU)... but gathering that it's not the case. So yeah get the USA one I guess. But is it that big a deal? I mean I played MGS on the PS1 a dozen times and never felt that it was too slow or anything...
  20. The PAL version is slow? Wouldn't that only apply to console versions running at 50Mhz on a TV? Welp, I'm out of space on my Vita card already and can't accommodate the latest PS+ updates. Shoulda splashed out for the 32GB...
  21. Dust! What a great game. The voices and characters were a bit hard to take seriously but the combat was so much fun.
  22. Why do you want a hybrid? Is part of the commute through some woods? Get a road bike and focus on light rather than cheap...
  23. Bit of a nitpick there... these systems always come with options, ie... You're joking but I actually imagine something like that will be in place. "Xbox, quiet mode", "Xbox, notifications off" or as setting in the menu "Notifications: On/Off/Off during TV mode/Off during video playback" - the last one is already on the 360 excluding the TV part.
  24. Who cares if the d-pad is relegated, small, or crap? The d-pad is useless on both consoles, except in fighters, that's why it's better having a less comfortable spot on the 360. If you take fighters seriously, you can buy a dedicated pad which is better than all the default options. Also the dual shock's (2 and 3) analogue sticks have always felt far too lose, there's too little resistance keeping them from snapping to one side, harder to push them in precise increments. They actually look a bit nicer on the DS4, but that's the only aspect of it I'm liking.
