It doesnt look great yet, but it does look fun, some of the weapons are cool, like that shotgun which he nails 2 people with. The bit at the end is interesting. This is kind of why I want a PS3, they look so much better. Haze is amazing.

^ If that last bit is true then the Wii is the worst. You can get Ratchet and Clank for 15 quid off Ebay, yet some launch titles still sell for full price everwhere. It isnt just R&C either, there are plenty of good deals.

I think the hate for the new pad is undeserved, I actually like the new R2 andL2, and so I'll probably get a six-axis and DS3 if I got a PS3. I think I'm pretty much decided on PS3 of the two in terms of games. The only thing I prefer with the 360 is the price, I think the PS3 controller is fine personally, and almost on par with 360, just not quite as comfy. Plus I'm used to it having owned a PS2.

I actually don't really know, I should have listened a bit more, but I think its for at least a month, not 100% sure.

Of those two lists, the PS3 one sounds more appealing. And it's not like it lacks shooters, it has its fair few and a broader range of other genres. I haven't played Gears of War or Bioshock, so maybe I need to try them, but many people at school said Gears was bad, although the majority here say otherwise. But I played the Haze demo and it was bloody awesome. There's games for both consoles that I like, but I'm not really an 'online nerd', it would be something I'd play every so often. I don't know.... Maybe leaning slightly for PS3 though.

Ah yes and Ratchet and Clank. That's 4 games I've mentioned that I really really like. Can someone tell me a little bit more about LBP and HOME please?

For economics, our teacher has 'given' us 100,000 pounds to spend on shares. We have to invest in at least 5 different companies, but under 10. I was thinking that if I put in a lot of money into 1 company and got the decision right, then that would probably be the way to go. What companies should I buy shares from? Nintendo? BP? Northern Rock? I don't know because I have little knowledge in this area and maybe your experience could help me win.

Constructive arguments only please: I don't really know if I'll be able to get enough money to buy either of these whilst having a Wii at the same time, but after playing on these consoles they offer quite a lot of stuff Wii doesn't, and keeping with Nintendo systems has its downfalls. I don't think I could sell my Wii, but the first party offerings don't seem enough now. Whenever I look on the shelf for PS3 and 360, it seems they have a large amount more on offer. Having played the 360 and PS3 recently, I really like both, but I'm not certain on which is better, although at the moment I'm rating the PS3 more than I did before. Factors include the downloadable content looking better, and also a couple of franchises I know about, I'm a fan of Tekken, Metal Gear and I've played the Haze demo which stunned me. Thing is I don't really know the specifics and exactly which features are better on one console, although apparently online is better on 360. If you could give your arguments for and against both consoles that would be good, but please exclude price issues because that one I'm not worrying about that for now, I'd just like your opinions on the better machine. Cheers.

^ Which site are you looking at? Play-asia? I'll buy it for $30 - please.

I am deciding to import this, as I think it will be be worth putting in the Freeloader to gain the viewing superiority. I was put off by the comparisons. Hopefully the few spoilers I've seen and heard about won't kill it for me. Can anyone give me word on the controls: Is there enough variety in what you do to keep busy or does it get repetitive and mashy? The game looks really good and I'd just like to hear what the core-gameplay is like. Cheers.

Yeah, can't remember who has the funny sig containing that scene, but it's quality.

It's a shame seeing all of these games going to waste. I think most games if uncompleted are a waste of dosh. Thing is, once you stop playing a game, it can be extremely hard to get into it again, and that is the big killer of games like Metroid. I found them interesting enough to beat all 3, but I guess some don't feel like making it to the end. Only GC game i didn't complete was F-Zero.

I think the DK Jungle Parkway is the best retro course, it's really challenging and has pretty much everything a Mario kart circuit needs. The pipeline one is also good. Many of the choices are questionable though.

Sorry I got pissed off then. I just cringe when I see someone make a thread really early just so they have the right to it. It wasn't really necessary. I'll leave.

May 22nd http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPTJ4v6KPrg Yes! Watched the Lost Ark film today on BBC 1 and it reminded me of how I love these films, hopefully they keep the slapstick fighting in-tact. Who else is jumping for joy? Edit, how do you get the vid to work?

That, my fellow forumer, was a brilliant post.

Daz I think you like the buzz from creating a fairly 'big' thread. You feel powerful amiright? Guarenteed posts here. Anyhow, wasn't there a 3D Kirby game in the works that was originally intended for GC. There'll probably be a mini showcase in the backrooms or whatever. Edit: been mentioned.

I saw Alien the other day! Some good shit.

Data>Records>Brawl Records or something like that, and you scroll down and it'll say how many CD's you have. If you don't want CD's tally, just go to sound test and there's a little number display that shows you how many songs you have in total I think. There'll probably be a notice saying you've achieved getting all of them, there's a trophy for it too.

I watched this film last night called Halloween H20, it wasn't too scary, but at the end I thought the parts when Laurie takes out Michael would make a quality Ownage compilation video. I hate horror movies, get scared quite easily by them, but this wasn't too bad as there were lots of other people. Everyone was just cracking up at the film, I was in hysterics and everyone was cheering for Laurie. When she brakes hard in the van and Michael shoots through the windscreen I shouted "Two-Nil!" which was met with great reception at the time. You may laugh but I was put-off horror films when I shat myself watching 'What lies Beneath'. The bit where she gets out of the bath and the blood-prints are on the carpet put me on a knife edge.

Good point, I think I'll move it to there as well then.

No, I was just saying how it would have made a good 'ownage video'. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlthnkLtAmc Tis a shame it misses the last part of the film, with the beheading, but oh well.

Right to clear-up. Yes, I admit that the game wasn't as bad as I said it would be. It is better.

Not really, because I said it would be fun but I still stick to what I said it being another MK. It's obviously one of the funnest Wii games, but that's mostly just because it is MK and also it is good multiplayer. Thing is I've only played it for about 8 hours worth and I'm getting a bit bored if I'm being honest. At the start drifting with the wheel seemed really cool but now it's just standard. A comment I would withdraw is the one about the tracks being too wide, it actually doesn't make a great deal of difference. Yes I'm stubborn.
