Finished mine apart from the 25-30 N64 titles stashed under the bed, don't think I'll bother with them. I have 61 games left to finish! 62 when the Conduit arrives though I think I'll finish that next

I did it as Unfinished and didn't give it a star rating

I've signed up and added about 50% of my collection (doesn't take long at all). I've finished more than I though but there's a nice list there for me to work through over the summer.

Happy birthday sir

Here's some very early Muse for you (1992)

I've watched loads of films recently... The Hangover: I went into this expecting a drab 'comedy' with poor jokes and a god awful storyline. However, the hook of the characters retracing their steps and slowly remembering the night before was played out very well with some memorable monents and some truly funny segments. A couple of times they resorted to cheap jokes and racial sterotyping which just wasn't that funny but apart from that I was pleasently surprised. Solidly good film, better than the average comedy 6.5/10 Public Enemies: I thought this started off fairly slowly but as it went on, I was hooked. I went into the film not knowing anything and was truly astonished when Johnny Depp's name came up at the end. The man is a f-ing genius actor and the role was played sublimely. I loved this film! The direction, the music and atmosphere all blended together superbly well to create something in my mind, extremely memorable. As I mentioned the performace of Depp was astounding and Bale's supporting was equally good. Equally excellent to see Stephen Graham (This is England) in there who portrayed a wonderfully edgy character bringing an added sense of danger to the proceedings. Despite 2-hours of tense build up I did think the ending was a tad dissapointing, it seemed to end all to abruptly though on reflection I can see why this was (I won't spoil it). 7.5/10 Inside Man: I have a huge adoration for a) Denzel Washington and b) edge of the seat thrillers, and this didn't dissapoint. The story keeps you guessing until the very end and is well thought out and equally well played. The performances all-round are excellent, matching the fast-paced frantic intensity of the on screen action. Highly recommended for fans of the genre. 7.5/10 For Your Eyes Only (Bond Film ): Just finished watching this an hour ago. This is the fourth Roger Moore fim I've seen (after Live & Let Die, Moonraker and Man With the Golden Gun) and out of those four, I thought it was the worst. Story wise, I felt it was quite weak. Although the action scenes were substantial, pleasently blending over the top comedy (the Dolly chase) with more serious action (ski chases). Classic Bond moments, supported by a few witty one liners to the backdrop of beatiful locations couldn't rescue what was otherwise a underwhelmingly poor plot. Too much importance was placed on the ATAC device, which looked a bit like a fisher-price toy and it's importance wasn't explored enough in my opinion. The ending however, was hilarious and brought a wry smile to my face capping off what was a good romp if you ignored the story. 6/10

+1 It's a games console, It's a video game. Who cares.

AWESOME find! Thank you!

I just kicked a box which head heavy things in it, now my foot is bleeding... Curse you, Race Driver: Grid and your general causing of major frustartion followed by unnecessary aggresive outburts

Yeah you can really notice the change! Well done!

Major bump. Played this through in one sitting tonight, completed the entire game in 2hr 14 but I missed 3 statues... Really enjoyed the game, very unique with a great control scheme which is nice and simple yet surprisingly intuitive. For £7, yes the game is a little on the short side, however I think this is made up for by the truly inspiring art direction and music. The game is a joy to play and the puzzles gradually get tougher without getting frustrating. This final boss caps off the game nicely with the gameplay bookended by a nice little slides starting and 'ending' the story. I am very likely to purchase the sequal when it is eventually released, I only hope it is meatier experience than the prequal. Hopefully the developers will expand on the more elaborate puzzles found towards the end of the game and remain focused on the fun platforming elements which incorperate the use of the wind so well. Highly recommended as an introduction to what WiiWare represents, even if 1000 points is a tad expensive for the amount of game you get. All in all though it's a mainly positive experience and offers a unique take on platforming gaming which every fan of the genre should enjoy.

Even if he is deeply, deeply troubled, he's still a legend and I really, really hope he's not dead.

Apparently TMZ (a celebrity gossip column) is saying he's dead. I smell bullshit.

can reveiws be done for this then??

Thinking about some of the changes, they really are stupid. I mean a rev limiter ffs. How else are you supposed to overtake..? No wonder there hasn't been any! Like I said before, they really need to scale back the aero again next year especially the double diffuser lark as well. I really hope next season is more intersting and we get more passing on the track because this season has seen soooo little. I've been watching a few videos on youtube and even less than 10 years ago it was so much more action packed. It really is a procession this season and, yes the battle between the Brawns and Red Bull is refresing but I'm hoping for more next year (which after hearing comments today, I think it will be one 'F1' championship and the breakaway threat will go away soon).

Yeah that was the best moment of the race for me today, similar to when Heidfeld did it a year ago. But yes, I strongly agree they need to sort out the qualifying weight issue. It's a joke. Nakajima had a great chance of points today and it seems the rules worked against him. The lack of overtaking was horrible today, they need to get rid of the aero grip, quickly.

I'm going to stick my neck out here and HOPE... Podium: Webber, Barichello, Button Top 8: Webber, Barrichello, Button, Vettel, Alonso, Raikkonen, Trulli, SUTIL

Well it's official, Max has lost his marbles. After repeatedly telling the teams to "go off an start their own series if they don't like the new rules." He's now suing them for bringing the sport into disrepute. What a Grade A knob end. Can't he just accept defeat and stand down. All he's doing here is poving what a dictatorly prick he is by instead of trying to compromise just suing the lot of them. Maxxx Mosely = FAIL! Also, as well as Lola another provisional new team has withdrawn and been masisvely critical of the FIA... I seriously just wish Max would F-off.

HOLY. F***ING. S**T! Source: Autosport.com I don't have words just this... :eek:.... :yay: :yay: :bouncy: :bouncy: :bouncy:

In my entire life I've played 5 FPS's from start to finish. Ranked in awesome-ness order. Goldeneye Perfect Dark The World is not Enough (N64) Red Steel Halo So obviously I'm looking forward to The Conduit massively! Anyway, I absolutly hate any game based on War simulation, part of me thinks it's just wrong which is why I refuse to play them. I've played COD4 and Halo online and hate both of them. I liked Perfect Dark Zero but only in multiplayer, single player was an abomination... I think, personally the genre is over cooked. Especially with most games getting re-hashes every year. They have also become too online focused and single player relies too heavily on STUPID recouperating health meters and checkpoints that destroy the sense of achievement and challenge. The structure to the N64 games mentioned above was perfect. 20 levels, 3-8 mission based objectives in each and 3 difficulty settings. That system provided and excellent challenge and truly rewarding gameplay which encouraged exploration and required skill in completeing objectives whilst dismantling enemiess, not just taking cover and popping out every 3 seconds to kill each member of a unit one by one. Circle strafing around a hapless drone... Ah the memories... Has the FPS genre gone stale? You bet it has! Year after year the same game with upgraded multiplayer is released and everyone goes nuts over it. Yet most of them forget that the 'campaign' only lasts 4-6 hours, something Luigi's Mansion was SLATED for less than 10 years ago. I hope the Conduit has it's own take on the old formula and adds something completely new to the genre. Edit!: I forgot Timesplitters 2. That game was epic. I'd rank it as my 3rd favourite.

I went through it 6 months ago from start to finish in 3 days (got around 103 shines or something). I found it to be a hugely enjoyable platformer. It diverts so much from the traditional 'Mario' path, but what it does provide is an excellent game. Sure it's not what everyone wanted but Nintendo dared enough to do something different, same with Cube Zelda and my feelings towards both of these games are that they definately pulled it off with great style and finesse! Anyway, I've never really got along with any of the Metroid games (2D and 3D) but to be fair I haven't given them a huge chance. I Absolutly hated Animal Crossing DS and thought it was a MASSIVE step backwards from the GC version which I think is the best game on the console. Purely because me and my ex played it for over 2 years and never got bored. The DS version just did so many things wrong after the awesome-ness of the Cube game. New Super Mario Bros. didn't do it for me either. Seemed very unispired and like Nintendo had lost their touch from the 2D days (could be nostalgia speaking here). Zack and Wiki is another game I just can't get along with. I have it but just can't be bothered to finish it and yes, Wiki is a pain in the arse. On the other hand, just to be a pain I thoroughly enjoyed Luigi's Mansion and Starfox Adventures despite the massive bashing both games got. They rank highly on my favourite games of all time! Wii Sports is also one of my favourite ever games, which I still play regularly today and surprisingly boxing is by far my favourite. My score is over 2000 on that

Started on January 15th and Weighed in at 9 stone exactly (41lb loss) on June 8th.

Well done Caris! Here's my progress... Before (18 weeks ago) - I'm on the far right (complete with pitiful attempt at mohawk). Middle (8 weeks ago) - While I was in Russia Now (Last week) - I'm between Hogan and Billy 'Mr Ass' Gunn Lost 41lbs and I'm very, very happy

After being skeptical about this a few weeks ago I'm now hoping it goes fowards. So long Herman Tilke tracks, hello proper racing circuits. I hope they keep the ban on refueling for next year as well. Seriously though, I'm intrigued to see what will happen now and of course the new series will probably end up on Sky, which is a shame. The BBC have rights to whatever constitutes as 'Formula One' for the foseeable future. While this is a downside, hopefully the emphasis on big business will be sacrificed for a sport run by what will effectively be the fans. I'm excited!
