Meik

I demand a playsession tonight. I've got a new, brilliant game mode to play. It's not rubbish*. *It actually is rubbish.

Come on, it would be brilliant.

Now that's just ignorant fanboyism. It's quite blatantly a fridge.

How all pigs should be - about to be eaten. I didn't check my results, i'd assume they say that I am sadistic and hungry.

Meik85. Minimum message length 10 characters? Well, this useless blurb will sort that out.

They're just talking about the rumble feature, aren't they?

10pm it is. Bring your friends (unless you're Moria, and they're robotic).

Oh, i'll certainly be getting it. I just hope that the online mode isn't a load of cack, like Burnout 3's was. Apparently it has a Halo 2-esque system where you can form a party and take them through whatever game mode you wish, so that's something to be optimistic about.

I bought this today, and i'm glad I did. Johelian pretty much summed the game up - if you're a pure action gamer then I wouldn't bother with it, because the extent of the action (from what i've seen so far, anyway) is following on-screen prompts to move either analog stick (I bought the Xbox version, I don't know how this works on the PC) in certain directions at certain times, and also involves hammering the L and R buttons. If you're an adventure gamer, or somewhere inbetween the two extremes, you are well catered for with this title. Controls are initially awkward, especially as the camera angle frequently changes but doesn't let you continue moving in the same direction that you were originally moving without changing the position on the analog stick that you are pushing. I also find turning around/turning to try and interact with objects to be a bit weird, but I guess that's just me. I'm getting used to it, though. Speaking of the camera angle, i'm especially liking the 24-esque picture-in-picture approach that the game frequently uses. Plenty of unlockables, including images, videos, music, etc. Each require a certain amount of points to unlock, which are then deducted from your "bank" of points. Points are found in the form of cards which are hidden in the game world. I've only played a few scenes, and i'm already pretty engrossed in the story. I look forward to playing more and finding out just what the hell is going on. Recommended.

Hooray! This news has made my day.

Was a big fan of RM2k back in the day, so it's nice to see that Enterbrain came to their senses and gave this a Stateside release.

I'd like to second Mr Odwin's request. It's a bit annoying on a 1280x1024 resolution.

So I wake up on my day off work today to find this. Nintendo have gone insane, right? I wonder if it will come with an attachment to find the controller when you lose it down the side of the sofa. I'm kidding! I'll reserve passing judgement until i've actually seen it's application in real games.

The return of the best thread on here! Hello Matt, I am also a regular in our Halo 2 sessions. Do not be upset when I demand that you tell me where the bomb is. On a related note, anyone wanna get a good-sized game going tonight? I want to play HM-Fusion Zones (and possibly Wank Tanks).
