    Rocky Balboa

    And what makes it even more special is when you understand his background, i've read lots about it in interviews and stuff and it just makes you say wow. I think he was expelled from 13 schools(!) after having a terrible family life and upbringing. Lots happened and he decided to write a script etc. and it all got on from there.

    He's such an inspiration, he's a message to all those out there that however hard things look, you should never give up, and he represents this through both his background and in the films.

    Just got back. Man, I feel so emotional :weep: I think the film has hit me more than it will most others, because of the rollercoaster i've been riding over my teenage years with the memories of watching the films,training and boxing etc. it's hard to explain but let's just say the film really got to my heart.

    It was EXCELLENT. The introduction and build up are fantastic, I loved it instantly and felt like I was going back in time. Firstly can I just say Sylvester Stallone is an AMAZING man, anyone who doesn't see this, well you don't have my respect. It had all the ingredients what made the original so special, the 'back to its roots' scenery/culture, the 'underdog' feeling, the music, everything. And the reflecting back on the past made the whole experience feel a lot more, close, I felt bonded with Rocky, more than ever.

    The actual fight, wow. Excellently done. I was slightly worried about what to expect but it really really rocked. The evenness made it possibly the most enjoyable fight to watch, and the flashbacks, like when you see Adrian's face, it just floods back everything from the series that makes you love them.

    I was so sad at the end, and still am. It's just the feeling that it's all ended, and at the end after the credits I didn't want to leave, my friends didn't understand. Well, I have one thing to say

    Sylvester Stallone, thank you.

    They are also my most hated. I always check the UK gaming charts and its a side sight to see so many bad titles so very high up in the charts. Also the ignorant people who buy things like Happy Feet and any other terrible movie based title.

    Yeah this news saddened me

    Midway Games announced with much jubilation that it has shipped more than 1.8 million units worldwide of its Happy Feet videogame.

    There is a bit of a drought at the moment, Crackdown seems interesting, but the main reason would be for the Halo 3 beta.

     

    So far the games i cant wait for will come out the latter half of the year. Assassins creed, GTA4, Halo 3 and the usual suspects.

    Yeah, it's a pain knowing that I won't be buying another 360 game till after the summer, the 360 games I mainly want are Halo 3, Blue Dragon and Assasin's Creed. They'll most likely come all at once, just as Mario Galaxy and so do too. Bloody holidays.

    Back to PS3 discussion, i won't be buying one because there's no system sellers on it for me. That and it's expensive, I am satisfied with Wii60, it's not really necessary for me to have one, and I generally hate Sony. I must say though, if I was to buy a PS3 for one game that we know is coming out it'd be White Knight Story, that looks unbelieveable.

    In my opinion Final Fantasy fans are the worst...."OMGzz Im gett1n teh PS3 4 theh FFXIII!!!!111"

    Good for them. It's not like there's anything wrong with them for wanting the console just to play the next game in their favourite series. I'd buy a PS3 JUST for Shenmue III if it happened. And surely most people here are the same with Nintendo games, especially Zelda, surely that's the reason you buy the console anyway?

     

    The ones who only buy GTA, Fifa or Need For Speed whenever they come out.

     

    Or the ones that totally bum Sony to high heaven...

    Yes, ignorant people that only play certain games in order to look 'cool'. They're my most hated.

    Good to hear that Hero, I'm off to see it tonight at 8.30 and have got my ticket prepaid :smile: I'm going with about 5/6 others, but only a couple have seen the rockys, and i'll be the biggest fan. Very excited

    Gates: "Nintendo is standing still online"

    Bill Gates has questioned Nintendo's strategy for Wii, saying "Look at the resolution you get with a controlled experience like that. Say to yourself, how in terms of using a game for a long period of time, what kind of accuracy and capability do you want?

     

    "Look at the classic Nintendo positioning Look at the graphics. Look at Nintendo's execution in terms of online capability... If you want to play online, get an Xbox. We're not standing still," Gates told the San Jose Mercury News.

     

    "Look at what you saw today connecting up the world to the Windows PC. Do you expect Nintendo to rev up a team to create cross-device gaming and tool kits to develop those things? Not very likely."

     

    He is totally right.
