    ^ The Wii versions of all these Codemasters games are being done by Codemasters themselves, but outsourced to some other crappy developer.

     

    I remember hereing that actually, Man I wish the F1 game was decient :(.

    Pro Evo 2008 - What the fuck has happened to Pro Evo? It never used to be terrible!!

     

    Imo on other consoles maybe but not on the Wii, that introduced the Pro Evo motion controls which are the best way to play a football game. I can still enjoy playing a football game with a pad but the new Wii controls are even better IMO.

     

    Soul Calibur II

     

    No just no....:nono:

    You just had to notice that, didn't you :( That is so annoying. It's like the car's disconnected from the track, the wheels floating instead of getting feedback off of the tarmac... Oh boy.

     

    My enthusiasm just went down a couple of gears.

     

    So Codemaster screwed up Dirt 2 on the Wii and now it looks like this will be fail as well, Typical, Wii owners 'deseve' a good new driving game - lazy Codemasters >:(;)

    Conversation between me (playing) & housemate (watching):

     

    "What's that you're playing?"

    "Madworld. Really fun, beating the crap out of people"

    "Why's it in black & white?"

    "It's the style they went for."

    "But couldn't they do it in colour?"

    "Apparently they tried some colour but decided on a comic book black & white style with red blood."

    "Yea but you get colour comics...?"

    "They decided not to."

    [pause while he watches a bit]

    "Does it go into colour later on?"

    "No."

    [another pause while he watches some more]

    "Couldn't they have put a bit of colour in?"

    "They obviously decided not to."

    [walks out the room]

     

    lol, Classic mate, classic.

    I think this game is amazing, Im on the 'Court Yard' Level with the zombies, anyway I play this game for a couple of hours or so then leave it for a few days n come back to it and its great to play that way - I have no idea how close to end I am.

     

    I am loving the game play in this one, so responsive n fresh (imo) so much fun (if brutal lol) to play. I can really see me replaying levels at whim when I finish this, it is that good. Plus of course theres the hard mode and the ! objectives Ive just learnt about reading this thread.

     

    The graphics - amazing its like playing a graphic novel (if this did not sell 'to well' due to the fact its in monocrome (apart from the blood) then I really do worry for mentallity of the general public, lol).

     

    Looking for brutal chain combo ways to butcher the goons is a new classic video game moment for me - I think this could be a future classic.

    You arent very familiar with Sony as they dont have much in the way of compromise lol. Downloadable games can be equal to disk games. You cant say that for other systems. GT5P is over 10gb on the HDD.

     

    Fair enough.

    That's exactly what I don't like about the PSP Go. Admittedly, it's the only thing I don't like about it. But now developers feel like they have to limit the size of their games to suit people who are going to be downloading them. A double layered UMD can hold 1.8gb of data, so they could have put 800mb of extra content in there.

     

     

    GT looks very good, but the handling does look a bit iffy at the minute.

     

    I was already a little erced that it seemed to take fact sony the wanted to flog there latest PSP model to finally get some new (potentally) AAA titles/big names on the PSP (eg LB plannet and Soul Calibur- GT as well but im not a fan and won't be getting that) but now the UMD versions of games could have more content but could well not due to the downloadable versions - just seems like typical sony to me.

     

    I reciently finished Loco Roco it took me all of 7 hours - great while it lasted and I can go back to see if I can better my scores but as the game is totally 2D and simple looking (but great all the same) I thought it was a bit of a let down.

    Depending on how LB plannet and Soul Calibur PSP turn out (content wise) will really effect my opinion long term of sony as a gaming company.

    Metroid Prime - Far to easy to become completely lost - I have a head for big games but I just gave up on that one - ridiculous.

     

    SSB Melee and MK Double Dash - the worst in theres respective series by miles imo.

     

    Oh n I love Sim City and Super Monkey ball (both single and multi player)-fantasic games! (also loved Time Splitters).

    Worms Armageddon

    Bomberman Online

    Ecco The Dolphin

    Resident Evil Code Veronica

    House of the Dead 2

    Tee Off Golf

    This is truly sad. I've never felt touched about a celebrity's death before, but this really hit me.

     

    I never knew what to make of the paedophilia accusations, but I want do believe he was simply a man who loved children, but who had trouble expressing it. He always seemed like a guy who wanted to do good in the world, but who didn't always know how to go about with it. I will always remember him for his good sides and his amazing talent.

     

    What you said there mate pretty much sums up what Ive been thinking as well. R.I.P. MJ.

    Hope you enjoy your new game. Ive kept mine, I was going to trade it in but they said they needed something with my address on at the gamestation I tried to trade it in at - is this standard? or just a backwards policy of that shop I wonder (I was having to live in Sunderland at the time, lol) (they would not accept the printed balance Ide got from the bank (as I needed it for other purposes) not 10 mins before. Im glad I kept it now, as if my Wii breaks one day (touch wood it won't) I will have something to play my cube games on at least - it a wee thing of console anyway so does not take up much room.

    I was really talking about the "Harcore Gamer" stuff, not the sales.

    Its obvious that the Wii will continue to dominate those both together, and I agree specially with Retro_Link's opinion, but I'm really talking about hardcore games and stuff.

     

    Pleasing 'der hardcorz' (sorry but on a personal level all I think these labels are so lame) and sales are two different things-not totally but still they are.

     

    If you mean people who really love there Wii for it's motion controls jumping ship to Sony or Microsoft, I cant see it happening, as for new buyers, the Wii is known for it motions controls though blanket advertising, this is enough for the casual buyer, a 'hardcore' gamer should be aware of motion plus, be aware of titles up and coming such Sin and Punishment, Tatsunoko Vs Capcom, Metroid Etc and also be aware of titles out there allready such as Mad Worid, pro evo overkill etc - the softwares there I think.

     

    As for a serious gamer thinking (for example) Well now the PS3 does what Wii does so maybe I will just get a PS3, with the credit crunch that may be a bit of a factor but I think the apeal of buying that cool little white box with Wii sport as starter game will still hold lots of appeal. Also PS3 is still expensive, some people who are not new to gaming may just purchase a Wii - as I did. Oh and the new 360 new controls seem like they won't take off to me .

     

    As a side note I mentioned finding labels lame, sure there are people more into games and gaming culture than others (im playing thunder force 4 right now!) and maybe hardcore gamer is a handy way to describe a certain type of gamer on line but anyone who would call them self that in life might as well where a t-shirt saying 'WOMAN STAY AWAY FROM ME 100% GEEK HERE' lol.

     

    For Sony the Eye Toy was never much more than an after thought, maybe there new motion controls could well be the same - I would not be suprised, they do consoles ok, can develop good games, (little big plannet- also- and sure If ide like a machine to also play Street fighter and Soul Calibur 4 on others will too - but apart from that on personal level I can easily do without the rest of the games on the platforms) but inovation aint there thing imo.

    Don't agree, it's anything but slow when you're trying to keep your boost meter loaded at all times. And driving at constant boost on the wrong side of the road, dodging and weaving cars is one exhilerating ride. Plus it looked great and had some great tracks.

     

    Im playing again now for the 1st time in ages (gave it ago again to reavalute my opinon before posting -comment above) now finding it ...ok, Ill keep playing maybe there is a better game to be had here if stick with it. Looking for to Nitro now also.

    Well I never had the chance to play Burnout 2, just the first which made me hate the series. Burnout 3 is probably one of the best driving games I've ever played, minus all the EA radio crap that keeps cropping up, but you can just turn that off.

     

    Ive only played Burnout Legends on the PSP (which I think is great) and Burnout 2 on the Cube whicjh is VERY lame imo.

    Best version of Burnout 2 tbf. The GC controller was perfect for it. (Even Alex Ward at Criterion said so.)

    God I loved Burnout 2 on the GC. I used to play it religiously and it's therefore a damn crime to humanity that we don't have a burnout for Wii. Even if we got 'new play control' I'd be ecstatic!

     

    C'mon EA...Show the love. Now that Criterion are DLC happy with Burnout Paradise I'd just love to see them go back to a more focused racer like the original trilogy. Heck, Burnout 3 was incredible (and not on Nintendo) so give us that!

     

    *Wishes* (And, Criterion/EA throw Black in there too!)

     

    Really? you guys like burnout 2 on on the cube? I have it and I find it slow, dull and frustrating (you just have to graze another car and you crash/come to a complete stand still).

    Since Eden of the East is in America, do the american characters talk in english?

     

    I was also the first time I saw a 9/11 terrorist attack reference in an anime. They even talk about the Freedom Tower. In which year is this anime set up?

     

     

     

    intelligent+political+military+action+futuristic = Ghost in the Shell

     

    Never watched it myself but I heard it's very good. Bit of a brainfuck though.

     

    I have that ;) but thanks all the same, not watched it in ages, so perhaps that may be on the cards.

    The UK needs to elect a different party (Conservatives) in the next general election just for the sake of tackling corruption. Having the same party in power for over a decade is not a good idea at all.

     

    I see where you are coming from but having the conservatives in power to tackle corruption is like having an alcoholic tackle 'binge drinking' (to use a poltical buzz term). As you can proberbly tell I don't really like the tories ;)

     

     

    Its not childish about the motorbike thing. Why shoudnt they have to wear a helmet. Why should i have to risk killing someone because they wernt wearing a helmet, i could cause an accident and have to live with it for the rest of my life. Have what ever beliefs you want but rules should apply to everyone not some, if that means you cant ride a motor bike then thats your choice.

     

    For the reccord I totally agree with you on this, a lot of regular people (your self included im sure) are finding/or have found this sort of thing irritiating

    (i think the BNP are ussing this to there advantage are far more sinister than a lot of people relise though but thats a little beside the point now though maybe). Also I agree having Sharia Courts in England is a disgrace (IMO) one country, one set of laws. also IMO Sharia Laws are bad news for women.

    Super Smash Bros Brawl (classic - v fun, tons of content)

    Super Mario Galaxy (AAA Classic)

    Excite Truck (full of win)

    Mad World (very good all round video game)

    Castlevania Judgement (ok 3D fighter that will not be remembered, really fun at times - not as bad as some may say)

    PES 08 (must buy Wii title - unless you hate football/football games)

    PES 09 (improved follow up)

    Hey guys I was wondering if you guys could reccomend me any anime feature length films of a certain style (I have a few Anime DVD', like Anime but dont take a regular interest in it) anyway I like films such as The Bourne Trillogy, Heat and The Shooter, you know the kind of stuff 'intelligent' political/cop/military action films and wonder if anyone could reccomend some Anime (the grittier the better) DVD's like this.

     

    Of course it can be set in the future ;) . I have the apple seed film.

    I might vote BNP not because i actually want them to really win. Just that inspite of some of the racist tones they still seem to speak the most sense to me. And the other partys are all clowns.

    I would never vote labour they fucked the country up well and truely.

    Lib dems are just far to urgh.... i think in politics you need someone who will take hard choices and i dont think this is hte lib dems.

    The torys i would really consider. But they need to move a bit further right in my view.

    And the green party i woudnt even entertain. Not after having had to cross demo lines at faslane where they have been in presence.

    UKIP i dont know enough about them.

    So really it comes down to BNP or the Torys.

     

    Not having a go here but felt I have to comment on this, IMO The Tories are a bunch of self serving nasty little toads who look down with aloof and comtempt on anyone not in there socal standing - if they get back most people will be in for a very bad time (ok so labour are far from perfect eg (IMO) far to eager to give power to brussels and far too soft on immigration - but I think over all they think of the common man, the torries hate him).

    BNP Pack of racists - end of.

     

    Oh and problems with the 'credit crunch' are global but the govt. should have to done more to stop it here.

     

    Anyway (general comment) I have something new to add to this - This may sound harsh but one thing that gets me is Immigrants selling the big issue - Its like - ok so you come to the England to beg on these streets - something very wrong with that.
