    Destiny

    It's the "Super-Charge" weapon for the Hunter class I think. You get 3 shots which are each one shot kills basically.

    I haven't whored the lo-fi, stubbornly resistant and downright brilliant (ahem) Radio Ninty around these parts for a while. So yeah, new episodes are up and kicking, this weeks is actually a good one (the Mario one might be a bit much for most people) with GTA review, DSi impressions (co-presenter Spike has one) and loads of other amazing DS games reviewed and pimped. www.radio-ninty.co.uk

    Mirror's Edge

    I agree with Riva there, it's frustrating at times but I think it's because it's so different, so fresh. Some of the set pieces are stunning, the visual style of the main game is wonderful and the cut scenes are great. All in all it's been a joy so far!
  6. Mwahaha, just had to beat a couple of your scores Illdog, right now I'm above you in Deadline, Evolved and Waves. So close on King too. Someone on my friends list has 134770575 on Pacifism! How? You have 36398825 and that looks pretty unassailable right now :s
  7. Stunning game, probably the most perfect sequel since Pikmin 2.

    Soul Bubbles

    in my efforts to convince the entire DS owning public to buy this wonderful game, here's my review... The first thing you see when you switch this game on is the best boot up screen ever. It takes the form of a disclaimer that unfortunately this game contains no cars, gangs, elves or soldiers, but everything is going to be honky dory. It instantly makes you sit up and pay attention. The game itself takes the form of a kind of puzzle game, the levels are made as perfect opportunity's for speed runs and further discovery on repeated plays. The gameplay is refreshing in that it's not overly complex but once you get your complete move set the versatility and sheer variety of what you can do couple with the ease make the game a sheer delight to play. You are in charge of a bubble, and using that bubble you have to escort souls from one end of a maze to the other. Along the way you'll meet baddies in the shape of birds and bees who are but a stylus touch away from death. Moving your bubble is simply a case of swishing the stylus in the direction you wish your little dude to blow. Throughout the levels there are many obstacles, sometimes you'll need to make your bubble bigger by drawing another one and linking the two together, sometimes deflating is the way to go and you can also just split you bubble in case you need lots of small ones. All these commands are intuitive and simple to pull off, using a combo of the d-pad and stylus and as the levels progress you slowly get more and more abilities, always providing a new way to race through a previously completed level. The graphics are beautiful, they have a hand drawn quality about them that brings to mind Yoshis Island although much more subtle. The little details in the background that swish and grow as you move through the levels are also noteworthy. The music in the game is fantastic. Full of gentle meditation chants and pan pipes all the while soothing you as you play through the devious later levels or play about in the easier early ones. There are 5 worlds of 5 levels each which will see a good deal of time taken, however, like all great games it's over far too soon. But there is the urge to replay each level to get the best grades available and just for sheer enjoyment. Soul Bubbles is in incredible game and is one of the very best on the DS, Mekensleep have done an amazing job in making this game, with its lush graphical style, wonderful score, gripping gameplay and astonishing bubble physics. Think of a cross between Lost Winds, Kirby Touch and Bubble Ghost then times that goodness by 10. If you own a DS you simply must buy this game, it's that good!

    Grand Theft Auto IV

    Had some great fun in multiplayer last night with Hinn and Sam and someone else whom I forgot, sorry! All 4 of us getting in a helicopter, going for a fly over Liberty City then 3watching as one of us falls out of the chopper, that's the stuff this game is full of. Those special individual moments that aren't that special in a typically gamey way, but actually transcend normal games almost. Not since Mario Galaxy has a game been so deserving of it's hype, sure, there are problems here, but sod them, the fact that you are playing in the most real and alive world ever created in a game is enough for me cheers.

    The Virtual Console

    A question for Hendo - Do you still buy every VC game? If so, what's Kirby 64 like? I'm tempted by it but I just can't decide...

    Well as older games are allowed in... PGR4 - Best driving game ever, at last dislodged GT4 form its mantle. No More Heroes - Stunning, original and damn addictive stuff Super Smash Brothers Brawl - Simply perfect.
  12. Hendo wrote: Couldn't agree more! For me Smash is about the fun (and the beating Hendo and Wiivo, but not Ben, he's gooooood) and the joy of all the extra stuff. But it is clever in that it can be wonderfully deep if you want it to be, and much like many of the best games ever, its this combination of depth and simplicity that make it soooooo good. As for whether its overhyped? Tough one that, to me, it's not, as it is everything I want it to be, and more besides.... But I can understand other people being let down by it, but then they are probably dead inside
  13. Sorry for the double post... Taken some snapshots? Saved them to SD Card? Annoyed you can't then whack them on your PC in a sexy JPG format? Well then folks, this is the tool for you - Snapshot Decrypter It's brilliant! Now to take some awesome photos. (these were taken when I first got the game, better ones will follow, oh yes!)
  14. How is everyone getting on with the Adventure mode? I'm now at the last level, which I have heard is huuuuuge and takes a couple of hours to do, so I shall attempt that later. Also am I right in thinking that when you've done a level, if there is a flag there it means theres still stuff to get from the level? I love the cut scenes, you can see the devs simply had so much fun during the making of it. Such a great great game, one of many essential Wii titles now!
  15. According to this - So from that, it should be possible to play different regions, but no guarantee of a decent connection...
  16. Not sure on the set up for the Wiimote Wiivo, I use the GC pad and that has it set so each direction on the D-Pad is a motto thing. They work by having you do the taunt, even though this is where it gets a bit confusing, as there are only 3 taunts. Up Taunt, Side Taunt and Down taunt. However, for the mottos, the side taunt becomes different for each direction. What controller does everyone else use then? Like I say, I'm using my Wavebird. had a go with all the other methods, and whilst they all seem ok, they just can't match the Wavebird for this game. Also, some awesome games with Wiivo, Ben and Hendo tonight, much fun indeed
  17. awesome! I've had a couple of random games, pretty impressed after what I've been reading, hardly any noticeable lag or anything.
  18. Long time no see... Anyhoo, I've added y'all and my FC is 4425-1408-5211 if anyone ever fancies a fight.
  19. Aye, I got your token (nice one Sir) and will get round to sending one your way too! This game is stunning.

    Hurrah! It's that time of week....again. You've listened to the DS-WiiFi podcast, your thumbs are twitching, you desperetly need more gaming podcast love, so where do you turn? Here! It is, of course, Radio Ninty 5. And this week, due to organisational cock ups, Centy and I have to pad the show with some discussions about the news, along with a nice amount of review action too. So sit back and listen on in, if only to fill the void until the next DS WiiFi show
  22. aye, same problem here. although the site is loading nice and quickly now for the first time in aaaaaaaaggggeeeessss... therefore I'm guessing the shoutbox causes the slow site speed...

    EDGE 179 Scores

    The Made In Wario bit is excellent Ed, I recommend you get this issue even if it's just for that! The DS has been getting lot's Edge love lately, Picross and Puzzle League both got 8 as well. Zelda's 9, and the review itself, make me wonder how close they were to giving it a 10... I reckon they very close to it personally. But yeah, if any game deserves the acclaim it's getting, it's Phantom Hourglass, such a truly magnificent game. Can't wait to experience it in English.
  24. Play Tony Hawks Underground 2 - GC - Fucking brilliant fun. Wind Waker - GC - Amazing! Big Brain Academy - Wii - Good stuff, and I have big fat juicy brain. The Drumming Game (or Taiko no Tatsujin if you want the proper name) - DS - Best rhythm game ever! tales of symphonia - GC - It arrived today, so gonna be playing that alot this month i reckon. Want August 23rd to hurry up and arrive, as I'm going to the Leipzig Games thing, yay! Chibi Robo - I want my GC copy to arrive, and I want the US DS release to hurry up, as it's fucking awesome. Phantom Hourglass - pleeeeeeeeease Super Paper Mario - hurrah, only a little over a month to go. Bin People who collect sealed games. Seriously, I'm fed up with with them now, at first it was cute, then strange, now it's just stupid. Fingerprints on my DS - DAMN YOU!!!!!
