Hey don't be so hard on yourself. The Socceroos have shown some pretty decent form recently. Obviously it's gonna be a tough group, but I reckon that Australia should have a pretty decent chance of making it into round two. Besides, stranger things have happend in football.

Holy hell! And I thought I was having a bad week! I really hope the police catch the assholes responsible and you get your stuff back. Remind me to update my contents insurance!

Of course, don't forget that the Revo isn't supporting HD display, which could mean that we'll see some pretty nifty graphix out of what is a comparitively small amount of (rumoured) tech. I still want to wait and see a) some screenshots and b) some actually, real bonafied stats ideally arranged into a "broadway" and "hollywood" column, before passing judgement.

What about multi-media drivers like Direct X9?

Are you sure all your video drivers are up to date?

Hey does anyone know where I can get some tips on brightening up my PC case a little. I've looked around, but all I can find are some stickers saying something like "64-bits of Whooopass" or something gittish and some awful neon lighting. Is there a website that has a guide on say, painting my own design on my case. I'm sure this kinda thing is obvious to others, but I would like to have at least a small ioata of what I am doing before splashing a tub of Dulex around £700 worth of PC.

What sort of video files are we talking about here?

Sly Racoon 1-3. Great, great paltforming. I don't know why I like them so much. I just do.

You misunderstand. The plot wasn't too complicated for us. The plot was too complicated for Doom. It was also rubbish, and quite frankly just wasted everybody's time. Cut all the shit about the guys dead family and all the chromosone rubbish, and the film would be a good half-hour shorter at least. Say this out loud - "In the Doom movie, there is a subplot about someones family dying in a freak mining accident." See what I mean? EDIT - Also, I would like to add that I was very dissapointed at the amount of gore. There was a few blood spats and a few organs here and there, but not nearly enough. If I was the director, I would have fish guts on tap.

Heres what the plot should have been - Some scientists on a research facility on Mars have opened up a portal to hell. After losing contact with the facility, a group of marines are sent to investigate. They quickly decide to blow the entire installation. Que an hour and 27mins of blood, guts, gore and crazy mecha-demons. Would that have been so hard?

I saw it last night. The action was pretty decent, the plot was just stupid. All that crap about cromosone 24 and the good/evil gene and that stupid sub-plot about the guys family dying in pot-holing incident. Who the hell thought that was a good idea? It was sorta OK overall. The BFG was a bit dissapointing somehow. Did we ever actually get to see anything get killed by it?

Starwing and Lylat Wars. God, Starfox GC games were dissapointing!

I recently attempted to install Norton Internet Security 06 on my PC under the assumption that installing a well known and reliable Security programme would be a good thing. However, when I restarted my PC after installation (as instructed) I found that my PC was practically frozen. It took ten minutes to even load the task bar and everything was very, very slow. I was also unable to start any programmes as a result (including Norton). It just seemed to have ripped a bloody great chunk out of my OS (XP). My PC is better now - I've spent the last 2 days nursing it back to health after booting it from the disk (re-installing drivers ect.) Has this ever happend to anyone else? I hear I'm not the only one. Should I try to reinstall Norton or ask for a refund? - I'm just pissed that a programme I paid £50 caused so much stress.

Doesn't stop it from beong a good idea though.

Please keep in mind that when they wrote the mag, Nintendos Wi-fi service hadn't even started yet. The writers at NGC have this funny thing about only writing articles on things they actually know about. And the spoof Xmas TV listings and annual smutty-stories are hilarious. I agree the supplements aren't the best, but I thought it was a pretty good issue, with some tasty reviews. What's not to like?

It all be because of R&D for the Revo, as well as the GC coming ot an end. They did predict lower profits.

There's been snow here in the Scotish borders, but of the dissapointing, slushy kind. Hopefully what there was will freeze and allow the next snow-fall to settle. Yay! Snow!

Ya' know mike-zim, you've got a bizarrely negative attitude towards Sven. He's done some great work for England, and led the team to some fantastic victories. You surely wouldn't argue that the team hasn't improved, would you? You say Sven inherited a strong team. I disagree. Remember the days of Kevin Keagen? <shudders> Before Sven came along, England weren't given a snowballs chance of taking a trophy. These days they keep a spare bottle of brasso handy, just in case. I should hope they're a strong team - Sven built them that way.

I'm not a "fan" as per say, but I do like to watch it when it is on anyway. I do that with a lot of sports. Regardless of what sport it is, it's always fun somehow to watch the very best in the game duke it out.

Namco will almost certainly make games for Revo, and it only seems logical they would be working on a project or two for early on in the Revos life. They're certainly throwing their weight behind the DS, so the Revo would most likely, especially after the success of their titles on GC.

FYI - Gamesradar.com has reported the Ubisoft FPS story, which for me is as good Ubisoft executives bursting into my room and screaming at me until I fall over. Gamesradar.com wouldn't publish stuff like this unless it was bonafied fact, and if it was still just a rumour, they would clearly mark it as such. So that's good.

The Canadian studio that's supposedly working on it is the same studio who did Splinter Cell and Beyond Good and Evil.

Baten Kaitos is very definitly on my big list of Gc games to get once they become uber-cheap after this gen. I saw my friend playing it and the graphics were incredible. I also intendo to get Mario Power Tennis, which also happens to be rather shiny.

Jeux-France is reporting the same thing, as is spanish site meristation.com. It seems to be genuine.

It games like this that make some of Englands other performances so disspointing. They've proven over and over again in games like this that they are a world-class, poptentially world-cup winning side, and when they don't show that it's always bitterly disspointing.
