Excelle

That's a cracking idea. Sort of golden goal, but sort of not. Maybe turn off the Megastrike for that one though (I think you can).

Correct. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Champions_League I'm not convinced that having two-legged knockout ties would be worthwhile in our context though. Might get a bit too complicated. Maybe just play them at neutral stadia, á la the final.

Cool, it's like waiting for the real draw! Expert analysis on which is the 'group of death' coming later

I'm going to a LAN/console party next weekend, so I'll get a bit of practice in there I think! Trust old Amazon for me. Delivery date is next Thurs or Fri.

After watching the video, I'm really psyched about this game. I am a Potter fan (at 25 no less), but even so, the gameplay looks brilliant - a proper use of the Wiimote for a change!

I stand corrected - I assumed Japanese -> European languages was as simple English -> European languages. I didn't realise there was a third step. Although still, what is FIGS? I thought you just made them into rolls

That was my understanding as well. To be honest, it would be better than fully fledged games - I don't expect either to have enough content to warrant a retail price tag.

If we don't get a Super Paper Mario date soon, I'm gonna learn Japanese and localise it myself. It would be quicker after all! Just a quick comparison Halo 3: US - 25th Sept, Europe - 26th Sept SPM: US - 9th Apr, Europe - 2007 maybe?

Hot diggity dang, I want both those games! Looks like I now know where my birthday money is going

Seconded. That is so unlikely to end with a bedroom encounter, it's not funny.

Nice texture, keeping it simple 8/10

Because it's my favourite? Anything off Load would be good though to be honest, it being their best album. But I'll settle for Puppets of course, just so I can do the manic laughter And how did I miss out Pink Floyd and Porcupine Tree?!

This'd be what that guy was talking about when he said being a virgin made him an outcast. Channel 4 not helping there! Being a Man U fan makes you an outcast too. Maybe that'll be on C4 next week ;)

I know there's already a thread, but this is specific. This is a games forum, and yet we haven't yet had a 'songs I want to see in Guitar Hero' thread. It's like a rite of passage Personally, I'd like to see: Meat Loaf - Bat Out Of Hell Metallica - King Nothing Libertines - Can't Stand Me Now Rage Against The Machine - Killing In The Name Of or Know Your Enemy Paul Weller - Sunflower Velvet Revolver - Fall To Pieces Foo Fighters - Low Faith No More - Naked In Front Of The Computer

It is available now! Well, the strategy guide is anyway... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Super-Paper-Mario-Official-Guides/dp/0761556451/ref=pd_bbs_sr_4/026-7679980-5298846?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1179319452&sr=8-4 I wonder if the pages are made of super-absorbant paper to dry our tears on?

Isn't this meant to be out next Friday along with Mario Strikers? Amazon has it down for that date and my local GAME has boxes on the shelves with preorder stickers. I quite want this, but I'm getting Strikers so it's got no chance for a month or so

Deary me. Relationship experience is much more important than sexual experience. Not had a huge amount myself if I'm honest, but anyone with half a brain can do a good job in the sack these days!

That was E3

Lots of water before bed. Always works for me - I haven't had a hangover in years. I'd be a bit concerned if you don't know what it was spiked with though, might want to get checked out by the doc. If it's nothing sinister, you've probably either a) dehydrated yourself resulting in a shrunken stomach (drink water), or b) wrenched your stomach when you threw up.

The bit where they drop napalm in the city in the trailer immediately made me think 'Bomberman'. Do I need help?

I suppose that's true, I'd forgotten about the online board. I just want a new forum for every conceivable topic under the sun

I have mine on preorder and would be up for a tournament! Maybe, now we have online, we should have a tournaments forum? It would save things like this from getting lost in the melee that is Wii Discussion! I can see this being repeated for SSBB for example.

Not really - I have no desire to play Americans with a ping of 200ms+

Here's a new release date (or month anyway). Not thrilling, but new nonetheless: Tamagotchi Party On! http://gonintendo.com/?p=17704 http://uk.wii.ign.com/articles/787/787617p1.html

Oh I hear ya there. Although I have friends who I would have to lock out of the house, for fear of them camping in front of the Wii should that be released
