Quickly - to the command silos!

Both covers are frankly pant-stretchingly fantastic

I'm gald to see that there are not Zelda screenshots bursting out all over the place so I'm not too tempted to look at them and spoil some section of the game too much. Plus everytime I look at so much as one screen I start to hyperventilate. It's a public health hazard I tells ya.

:shock: I don't want to lower the tone or anything here, but that's just too fucking cool. I'll bet that kid's a babe magnet. Good luck to him indeed.

Pheonix Wright I must say. He specialises in only situations where The Bauer has no power of his own - situations where shooting an arab and/or communist in the face and then running around for a bit isn't actually going to solve anything.

God is a naked rabbity thing. Oh hell yeah.

I agree, but I feel you only ever really get the chance to explore in detail the characters and issues that make up this world when you're not expected to shoot them in the face. My dream is one day for there to be a genre of games where you don't shoot, score, solve, find, quest, attack, defend or any of the other play objectives common throughout many modern games. Game where you just simply experience what's going on. Sort of like Animal Crossing, but with a serious face to it. Imagine playing as a passenger on the Titanic for example. At first your only goal is simply to enjoy your cruise, read the paper, chat to your fellow passengers and so on. Three days later you're watching panicky crewmen desperately launching lifeboats as the ship starts to cave in on itself, and the only thing you can do about it is wonder where it all went wrong. Now that's what I would call "edutainment".

To be fair, the exploding rugby diving try is pretty amusing. Otherwise, stay clear of BR2.

The lighting effects look quite nice in some sections, and the textures, effects and models overall look quite impressive. I just hope this one turns out as fun as the PC versions.

I'm liking the more recnt vids floating arund. The enviorments and effects are rather delectable now, better then the higher echelon of Xbox titles. None too shabby.

Sam & Max and Eternal Darkness have the best game stories ever. Sam & Max is easily one of the funniest games I've ever played, easily matching the great humour of their creator's comic and outstripping that of the cartoon. Eternal Darkness is in my opinion the only game out there with a plot you could just transfere lock, stock and barrel to celluoid. Characters, plot, history, follore, conspiracy, sacrafice, you've got full bang and schpudle. Deus Ex also has a good story, but sometimes the plot gets a little bogged down in itself, and other non-story related game elements (the punishing difficulty level mainly) sometimes hampered my enjoyment of it. Mention must also go to pretty much all the sections of Half-Life 2 where you don't get to shoot something, the play sequence with Dog in Black Masa in particular.

Vasquez fo' shure! I hope she blows that sarcastic sod away with her flame unit. Trap him in a vent and toss a grenade in there.

This never would have happend if Al had been given his rightful place in the Oval office.

Sorry, I just had to add this one: "Nothin' Says Lovin' Like Gaggle64 from the Oven." Yeah, and don't you just know it baby! Additional lols: "Mums gone to Gaggle64." "Have You Forgotten How Good Gaggle64 Tastes?" Ahhhhhh, genius. I'll stop now.

I love these. They read like a list of smutty fan-fiction titles. About me. "Gaggle64-Lickin' Good." "Where Gaggle64 is a pleasure!" "Great Gaggle64. Great Times." "Cleans a Big, Big Gaggle64 For Less Than Half a Crown." "Gaggle64 Tested, Mother Approved." Phenominal stuff.

I'd like to see a big return of the point and click adventure. Wii versions of Myst or Sam and Max would be brilliant. I'd also like to second the notion of being able to get my mitts on the orignal Lucas Arts epics via VC. That would be just phenominal.

Does he ever get tired of shouting "hep", "hup" and "wahoo" for a living? I would very seriously like to know.

Not at launch but likely quite soon after - probable after Christmas when I can get some cash.

£180 is a little more expensive then I hoped, but the inclusion of Wii sports and pre-xmas release does help soften the blow. All in all, toppers.

There'll be a squeaky "C'mon Tim!" from somewhere at the back I'll wager.

At this stage I think that's very likely. Now we just have to pray they get that little baby out for before Christmas.

What exactly is a QTE now?

Truth to da' max! Anyway, happy posting. Don't spam or hoar attentiton, and you'll fit in just fine. Enjoy your stay!

Nah, only locked, unless the mods don't think the irony is too obvious to warrent sufficent humour. Exactly how productive could an entire thread about the D-pad possibly be?

I liked the Office and Extras. Never have enjoyed Ricky's stand up though and his Simpson episode was frankly just awful. Still, I will tune in for Extras.
