Blue Shadow and Donkey Kong Classics.

Wow that looks really awesome, loved the first one. Should be good.

I wanted to but apparently it wasn't 'big enough' for my local cinema. DVD it is.

Maybe this will teach people to stop looking forward to things like this.

You wouldn't be saying that if you lived here believe me

Haha i'm all on my lonesome at the bottom. Damn Cornwall.

Super Mario Bros. 3: The best Mario game of all time. It was my first ever proper game and what a game it was. Platforming to the max, chasing Bowser through the desert, the sea, over the ice and even up into the sky, over 8 worlds of madness. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: What do I need to say about this game that hasn't been said. Nothing. Brilliance. Metroid Prime: Fanastic adventure right until the end. Beautiful environments, great story. Goldeneye: 4 player multi-player heaven. License to kill setting with pistols, good times sneaking in a shot from around the corner and hitting a mate in the back. Greeted with an abusive response to the likes of "You f'ing bitch!" Super Smash Bros: Melee: The best multi-player ever. Enough said.

I second that. After 2 failed attempts I finally passed on my 3rd. Though it was my awesome driving not luck... honestly.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I completely forgot about that old design, I remember the hoo-hah about the changing of the B button.

Jesus, people complain when they're supposedly kiddy and now they're complaining because they're trying to attract a larger audience. Sort it out lads.

Well i'm going by the friends I know who i'd consider casual gamers. They're looking at buying Xbox360's as their one and only choice of console. They, like me, know hardly anything about the Revolution. Only one has actually seen the controller. I don't see them changing their mind and looking towards getting a Revolution if they have to wait until May just to find out basic info. Obviously for those hardcore gamers who are going to buy more than one console, releasing information at E3 isn't so bad. However we know of like, 2 games supposedly in development, that isn't enough to get my casual gamer mates excited and once their into one console it's very unlikely they'll buy another.

If they wait to reveal absolutely everything at E3, well it isn't going to work. They have to reveal things such as specs, game details, price, final name etc, beforehand otherwise how are people going to make a decision on what to purchase. Especially if they're aiming for a worldwide release in the same year, people need to save up.

Well i'd have to agree with you on the part of not dissing other consoles, I have owned and still own the consoles of this gen and have tasted pretty much what each has to offer. They're all different and unique in thier own right, however it is down to personal preference and just because you don't like the games on another platform doesn't make it bad. It's the old 'your opinion doesn't equal fact' argument. The fact that I sold my PS2 was not because it had bad games, it just let me down on the technical side way too often and I couldn't be doing with its tempermental attitude anymore. I would have liked to have played some of the games it had to offer but it was not to be. I believe unless you're super rich you can only really afford one or two consoles and their games in one gen. For me it was the GC and Xbox. As for the old graphics over gameplay argument, sure graphics help make a better experience. However the game has to actually be good in the first place otherwise it's just a pretty piece of shit (True Crime anyone?). I define gameplay as the factors, which contribute to the overall experience. I suppose graphics would be considered part of the gameplay, along with sound, controls, presentation etc. Graphics, for me, aren't a defining factor in a purchase though and never will be. I do agree though, there is no definate graphics over gameplay argument. People seem to use it as an excuse to pass off shit games with good graphics and vice versa. I mean you never get people saying "I bought Hitman 2 because the orchestrial score rules!". As far as they're concerned it's much easier to compare how something plays to how it looks, which is wrong. They should both be considered as they are both a part of the gameplay.

WTF, sod E3 I want information now. We were told before the end of the year... END OF THE YEAR I TELLS YA!!!

Damn another year where i've already bought everything I want before Christmas, damn impatience. Might ask for Sonic Rush or Battalion Wars, but i'd be quite happy with the standard feast, a tree and lounging around watching Christmas TV/Movies.

LOL! I saw that, I started watching Family Guy and American Dad last week though i've seen Family Guy quite a lot on my mates DVD. Out of the 3 I have to say I prefer the Simpsons simply because it's the one i've seen the most of and there is some comedy gold amongst the mountains of episodes about Lisa and some crusade against something.

It'll probably just be a speech... about the future of gaming...

Yeh I usually play a Zelda at some point, usually OOT itself or Master Quest.

It's ok you can forget that name it's not important.

Ironically i've been trying to get out of a shop job and into something proper and permenant. I've been applying for loads of jobs but still to no avail. It's probably due to lack of full-time job experience rather than my educational achievements. All you can do is keep trying and don't take rejection personally, if the managers of these companies are anything like at my current place of work they don't know their arse from their elbow... quite literally.

I can only judge the console when I play it for myself, however so far nothing has caught my interest. Last game I bought because it looked 'pretty' was Halo and I was pretty dissapointed. I made a point from there on to get games, which I can play and enjoy, regardless of how they look. As for the 360, well it's way too pricey for me to simply buy on faith. I can only do that with a Nintendo console, what can I say i'm a fanboy guilty as charged. I only bought an Xbox because it was cheap. At this time in my life price really is the determining factor for me, not graphics.

Great kid! don't get cocky!!

So, back to dukkadukka's original point. Why? Is it the meaning of life? Do we reach enlightenment? Who made it?

Only in your mind, my very young apprentice.

Yes indeed, the original one i'll have you know . I recall the Doom avatar, welcome back.
