Did someone call the grammar police?

Metroid, especially Prime. Never got into it at all. Willing to give the Wii version a go, mostly because of the raving about the controls, depending on other releases around it.

I never did get into playing Gears online. Just wasn't particularly appealing to me - probably because I was rubbish, though.

Yeah, we are down a few, half of them all got arrested last week.

Does that make it GameCub 2.25?

It's the same system used in Dead Rising, and that involves chopping people up with katana's and driving over them with shopping trolleys :p

I remember saying on IRC after the comment about Miyamoto coming on to announce a new Wii game that will be perfect for both markets "Animal Crossing Wii, guaranteed." Those words didn't taste good when I had to eat them

I really need to play through Gears single player again, but I have so many games to play I've never gotten round to it :/

Mario has always been slow, but usually there is the sort of slide on the B button to speed things up. Maybe because of lack of buttons that isnt in this game? And the game really looks awesome. I hope the Bee Suit isn't too common though, it could end up being the new hoverpack in some ways :/

This is being released so close to Phantom Hourglass... This Q4 is seriously the best quarter of games I remember.

Wow, I like Pikachu's new move from that trailer.

Would you guys recommend Bleach? Can't quite decide if it's worth downloading. Next thing I'm gonna watch is Blood+, though. Peoples thoughts on that?

Probably a definite buy? :p It's looking good, depending on how packed the schedule is when this comes out I may or may not get it.

Man, DiRT is alot better than I expected. And Mario Strikers is decent, I can see myself sending it back within a couple of days though. Very glad I rented it. Impressed with the quick delivery too. But can't you cancel online Stevkov? Homepage > My Account > Cancel my account (on the middle left hand side of the page). Seems alot more streamlined than the phone call.

Bumper > Flipper. Glad its back

Anyone think the big hoo-haa about Golden Axe and Sonic is overshadowed slightly by the fact that the VC already has both, along with their sequels? And I stayed up until 6am. 6AM! And there was no footage of Banjo Threeie. Not even a brief glimpse in that montage. Which means it ain't coming out this year. Cry :'(

Good thing we all have American log ins then right?

Lol Ashmat, those are the two games I'm getting for my second wave, straight after DiRT and Mario Strikers :p

Yeah, that is a serious problem. In DD, my friend would always win with a stack of items on the last lap, despite me being way better than him. In the end I took to "accidentally" crashing or going off course, staying just behind him enough to get the good weapons and storm ahead at the end. Thats not how you play a racing game :/

Yoshi's must be female, they lay eggs do they not?

Yeah, thats why the Wii version is supposedly going to be cheaper - no need for the motion sensors or wireless stuff, because the wiimote just clicks in and does all that.

Nah, I never even bothered starting. I didn't know where to, literally. I exasperated myself. And yes, yes it is. Hobbz, I don't see why people who like achievements affect you. Achievements are like set out challenges - if someone says to you "I bet you couldn't jump from there to there", you want to try it anyway, to challenge yourself. But, if its too far and you'll get hurt, you wont. Thats what achievements are. You being challenged. Some people like to be challenged with these special things. Lets say Crackdown. Without achievements, would you have tried to blast a car into the air for 7 seconds? But because of the challenge, its a nice little distraction to do. Bankshot Billiards, you are challenged to compelte x amount of games without letting the opponent take a shot. A nice challenge which in the end makes you better at the game. So why not go for it if you're gonna have fun in the process? I'll leave it at that.

Wow. I was going to type up a huge case here but you know what, this argument is so old, I can't be arsed.

Yeah. I doubt that Nintendo will be able to do best at this one, considering all the "big guns" are already announced, they would have to show off literally all their other IP's to really create a stir. Sony seem to have something big in the bank, don't know about what MS are gonna have. My prediction = Sony, Ninty, MS.
