S.C.G

So then it could be true? I'm not complaining if it is, I'd welcome the original Perfect Dark to XBLA! Just that I don't want to get my hopes up.

Agreed on the Perfect Dark image, why use a poorly cropped, downsized part of a screenshot for the thumbnail when the 'PD' logo would look much better... therefore I reckon it's fake.

I'm enjoying the new versus mode a lot more now, it's fun once you get into it.

N64 works fine, just plug the video lead that you would normally use for your Gamecube into the back of your N64 and you're away... it won't solve the 50hz 'problem' afaik because the european VC versions of N64 games are the same as the originals from the same region but yeah, it's certainly better to play them on the original console where possible. : peace:

The Versus DLC is up btw, just played a few games but hmm weren't there supposed to be extra achievements as part of it? because I've downloaded it and it seems there are none... anyway it's ok... not quite as good as I thought it would be due to the fact that it's split into two different games but you can kill each other in both... Slayer is supposed to be all about killing the enemies, four player mercenaries basically, but everyone just ends up killing one another so it might as well just be another deathmatch mode. :/ Survivor is supposed to be the one where you pwn each other, 'cept I haven't tried it yet because that is what everyone is allready doing in Slayer. >< Meh... the way things are atm, I'll take standard two player mercenaries mode over this any day. Edit - nvm, the achievements have suddenly appeared in the list, I probably just need to play it some more.

Nothing to be ashamed of, t'is the guilty pleasure of the gaming world... wait, that made it sound wrong :/ ah well maybe we should all form a new support group, 'GSA' (Game Sniffer's Anonymous). "My name is Sam and... I liek teh games... I liek teh way they smell when newly opened" *runs off into a corner with a freshly unsealed Wii game* "ahh my prrrreciousssss!" >>

Happy Birthday Dante! ^^

I listened to Royksopp's new album Junior earlier, twice in-fact... a genuinely lovely sounding album.

Thanks and yes lol I saw the opportunity and just 'had' to take it. Majora's Mask was genuinely as much a joy to review as it was to play. : peace:

Mmmm... still no rumble yet no, Nintendo are too lazy/can't do it/can't be arsed to do it/won't do it/are contemplating charging us for it... For whatever reason they still have not managed to emulate the rumble pak and I really fail to see why this is... after playing MM since Friday though I don't really miss it anymore, it's just that it would be that much sweeter if it did have it... Edit VC Weekly #91 is live for those interested, featuring my review of Majora's Mask. : peace: http://www.n-europe.com/news.php?nid=13073

I found this picture of an awesome cake while looking for images for VC Weekly and just had to post it, Sheikah in particular will like it... Majora's Mask Cake!! enjoy!: peace:

Congrats Serebii! ^^

I saw the title of the game and just *sighed* but then I saw that video and it has piqued my interest somewhat, especially with the way the music will supposedly be implemented, there is potential here... I hope it's realised and doesn't go to waste.

Hmm I don't see why Nintendo can't just publish it... they did for the original. As for Tales of Graces, it's looking pretty nice I hope it turns out to be decent.

Nice one Ash, that shortbread looks delicious.

Happy Birthday guys! ^^

Definitely, getting 'all' the masks and then finding that you have one space missing and THEN finally finding out how to get the last mask and what it does is one of the finest moments in Zelda for me and just obtaining all of the masks alone in your first playthrough can takes ages. I also love that you end up interacting with nearly all of the NPC's in MM in so much more of a deeper way than you did in OOT, every character has their own story to tell - and usually quests for you to help them with - it just makes it that much more immersive. Then you have the heart pieces, upgrades, faeries, skultullas - now in their contained mini-dungeons - and even more on top of that, theres just so much to do and whats more is that when you first play it, you will want to see it all and get everything and won't rest until it's all complete lol basically just like in OOT but better.

Yeah, it's just as well that I remembered around the time of the water-based dungeon though because that one always seems to take longer to complete - as is tradition in Zelda games - the final dungeon in MM I really love though, it's one of, if not the best dungeon in any Zelda game Imo.

No, I've played the game through before around 2 or 3 times, but I literally just forgot about the slowing time thing until about the third dungeon which I did last night. :/

Both... but because it's in context, I don't see why it can't be viewed as just a compliment.

I feel your pain Steven I know it's just a demo but still, it'd be something to tide us over until the game gets released... almost a year after the JP version... >>

I got all the faeries for the first dungeon, the second one annoys me the most though, so much so that finding them in the third and fourth dungeons is much easier in comparison, for me anyway, but I will go back for them, especially as I only now remembered about being able to play the inverted song of time to slow the time-flow... >> Agreed on the added depth though, it's all of the things like that which add up to MM being a more engaging game than OOT, even though they are both brilliant in their own rights.

heh nice find there HoT. But... the sticks on the CC are rubbish in comparison to the one on the GC pad - they are placed slightly too high as well - plus GC pad layout >>> CC pad layout for N64 games. Imo, GC pad = N64 games CC = SNES games etc. Anyway, I'm about to tackle the final temple now, just stocking up on fairies then it'll be onto getting the rest of the masks in preparation for the final battle. : peace:

Doh! a deer! a female deer...

Rear... I was going to post an image but I couldn't be arsed.
