The Brock vs CM Punk Match at Summerslam last night was awesome.

Has there been any word on the TVii service for Europe?

Yeah one of the great things of this generation has been the rise of the indie developer. We've had so many great games come out of small independent teams and some of the better games of this generation too.

Yeah I feel that its a lazy misinformed generalisation that gets thrown around so often now and it simply isn't true.

Good question, one of them is probably supposed to be DS Edit - or did they separate the old style 3DS to the 3D XL

Duck Tales Remastered

OK, Can't speak for the console versions but the PC version on Steam just got an update that fixes the issue with the Pogo jump move I mentioned a few posts up.

It is great hearing the dialog again, however I've now played through this game several times and I think they should have had the option to turn off cutscenes. I like them but I don't always want to watch them when I replay a level. Side note, people have found a strange secret..or something that was accidentally left in by the developers. If you hit the space bar on the screen that shows up after defeating a boss that normally reads "Stage Clear" it changes to this:

well damn, then they screwed up. I was definitely taking damage at times for no fault of my own. I'd assumed it was my slightly worse for wear d-pad on my controller...plus the fact its a 360 d-pad in the first place that was the problem. I'd imagine of the harder difficulties it would be very frustrating. Hopefully they patch it.

I just played through the whole game (PC version) and had a blast, it plays like the original so as long as that is what you are looking for; which is an updated version of the original game, then you shouldn't be disappointed. It really felt like a lot of care and attention went into this, the animations on the characters are really well done, the remixed music sounds great and I really enjoyed some of the dialog the characters come out with. It was like a new episode of Duck Tales. Hearing these characters talk again for the first time in decades and with their original voices is just so awesome. Heres a few pictures I took The only thing I didn't like was the that controls didn't feel quite the same as the original. A few times when I was trying to attack with the Pogo move, it wouldn't work sometimes. I think this is down to me using a 360 controller though, the d-pad isn't quite as responsive as I'd like.

Just been looking through some of the reviews, one review says the game is too hard where as the other one says its too easy. I'm still getting it, I've been playing through the original the last week or so and it still holds up so if this is anything like the original I'll enjoy it. Edit - Actually i'm disapointed by this: From the Gamesradar review.

When is the multiplayer trailer due?

I think they are unnecessary, if someone really enjoys a demo they will go on to buy the full game. The Just cause 2 demo is a good example of how pointless it is, they limited it to 25 minutes but there was nothing stopping you from reloading the game right away and playing it again.

Animal Crossing Plaza looked great. I wish that was there permanently instead of the Mii plaza lol

wow Sleeping Dogs looks nice. Is that with the HD texture pack?

well on the plus side, that commercial is too long for TV so its probably just some web/viral thing they've released. I hope they don't just edit it down and put it on tv because I think its terrible. I really hope the marketing push for the fall this year is a lot better then this.

holy mackerel that was bad Edit - is that commercial real or a parody i'm just not getting? The URL in the description, link to a error page on the Nintendo site and the twitter it links to sends you to the creator of some iOS app

My crazy prediction would be Left 4 dead 3. Its looking like that's going to get announced in the next day or so...would make great timing with the ND I like your speculations, I'd probably go with a list like that too.

I was grinning like a 5 year old when Treguard starting talking again.

Awesome stuff, I've been watching all of the old episodes recently, I'm so happy they made a new one.

Luigi's Mansion 2: Really enjoying this, its even better then I hoped it would be. The game just has so much charm to it. DuckTales: I decided to set my Nes back up and play through my copy of Duck Tales again in the wait for Ducktales Remasted. Even though its been over 20 years since I played DuckTales, I seem to remember almost everything about the game, the locations of the secret treasures, secret areas etc The game still holds up very very well.

yeah same here, I picked the first up in the Steam sale the other week and I've really enjoyed it. I'll buy the sequel day one.

Yeah absolutely. I can't wait to see what Avalanche Studios do for the third game.

right. Sony have been the butt of peoples jokes for the better part of the past 6 years, I'm not sure how people can even suggest they get away with anything. The reason that has changed is because they have been earning peoples respect with some of their most recent decisions unlike Nintendo who seem to be making mistake after mistake (when it comes to the Wii U, not the 3DS). I'm not sure how Nintendo ended up in this situation with the Wii U. Six months next to no software for their new console is pretty bad and the lack of marketing from them is just bizarre. I think a lot of the criticism they have been getting this year has been perfectly fair.
