I can't decide wether to git this, I'm fond of the first one and you often find this under £15. I thought it was pretty scary at times but then those shock tactics that are mostly criticised to work on me so others might not feel the same about it. Getting lost in a straight line was something that Condemned did too.

I mean we don't have festivals near by, but venues I guess either Newcastle or Manchester, Carlisle might get the odd thing but nothing that's not managed to garner much interest.

We have fuckall like that and getting to another is pricey. I think they tried one year and all that tuned up were some local bands and Feeder.

I'm not touching this until we get Sonic & Knuckles too. They have to be played together.

Battlestar Gallactica love over here too, I just recently finished watching the last series so I won't say much given someone is going through it, I will say Season 2 is probably one of the best things I've seen on TV. I don't watch any TV at all really, I might by something recomended on DVD and see it that way, I'm usually behind but I'm good at keeping myself in the dark. I find myself seeing panel shows alot, I think they're a good distraction. I hate TV sometimes, Deal or No Deal and Come Dine With Me literally send me into a rage.. full of absolute, hateful, disgraces to humanity.

I suppose it can, but you've got to take the words of a fan of anything with a pinch of salt or whatever condiment you so choose.

Like all these user-created stuff I like the idea of being able to make my own games but I can never find the time and/or talent to be able to do it. I'm worried that DSiWare would be able to make the games customizable enough. It means the price should be low, I might give it a try. I've come to a happy relationship with Nintendo, they used to be my main focus in the N64/Cube era and now they've hit a new market, made some new friends but it's okay because I've made new friends in Sony and M$ and now I just kick it with Nintendo when they have something I like every now and then, it's all cool man. Let them do the Wii Fit and Wife Murders thing. Good podcast guys, the discussions were intelligently put and you wern't just overly negative, a good listen. You do need someone who likes JRPG's and racing games and such because there was some big games mentioned without a lot of coverage, maybe Ben could play something since alot of his replies to 'have you played a _____ game' was 'no..'.

Since when does anyone really give a shit about what other people think?.. apart from folks around here, obviously.

I sense Gripshift is going to be the next Soul Bubbles. I've been playing Outrun Online Arcade enough for it to be mentioned here, it really does work well for a competition because it brings out the old score chaser in you. I did plan to play CoD4 more but I just haven't been in the mood for it, so instead I've started playing Halo 3's multiplayer instead just because of the more comical and less intense vibe it has, to freshen it up I also bought all the new maps but at this point I've only played a few because people keep vetoing the ones I haven't tried, cunts. I'm enjoying it, I'm also getting abusive voice messages again.. I love Halo. I must really want a new action game because after finishing Ninja Gaiden II I found myself messing around with other hack'n'slash until I got stuck into God of War again, but I got to a bit in the Architect's Tomb which I hate with a passion (you know the bit, treadmills, Harpies, fire, rollers that squish you, archers, all mixed together) so I might just start God of War 2 now instead.

Yeah, theres no waggling. I played it throughout with the classic controler.

I want Scribblenauts, they had it on one of the episodes of Co-op and seeing it in action has put on my wanted list.

In case you didn't know this is a remake of a little known but generally well recieved PS1 game. It comes from the platforming genre and presents itself in a colourful 2.5D world. I played the original but I can't remember if this has any new levels of if they've been remixed, I just remember the general themes so I would struggle to rate it against the original, so judging it on it's own merits is all I'm going to do. It starts off insultingly easy but it's not surprising given the type of game it is but a few worlds in it does start to make good use of it's main mechanic. You'll navigate it's levels only using two buttons and the D-pad, one button jumps and the other spits out you ring spirit.. I'm sure it makes sense in the story, I dunno, I skipped the cut scenes, they're dreadful. The main draw is this simple gameplay which is interestingly spread out through the game, using the ring spirit on enemies inflates them and then you can use them to throw at other enemies or used as a jumping aid, they can also be thrown in the background or forground at switches or what-not. All the puzzle stuff is used pretty creatively and it isn't without it's harsh platforming sections that are made more possible with Klonoa's 'Yoshi' style jump and hang in the air, the best bits come from having to quickly use the baddies around you as makeshift platforms to get about. To be brief, the game is great, the story is shit, music is nice, graphics are functional and it's short as fook with barely any reply value. Don't spend alot on it.

I would imagine the file size would be bigger, it came on three CDs afterall but the game wasn't anymore expensive then any other title during it's original release, it might of been a fiver more. While a higher price point is expected because it is the mighty, fapping FF7 twice the cost of the others is laughable. I still have a my PS1 copy so I wasn't gonna download it and even if I didn't I don't think I would... maybe I would. Still, nice that it entertains to this day.

I think someone with no prior experience with JRPG's are likely to get into FF7, it is a mainstream one at the end of the day. I think at the time the animation was pretty dire, it give it a certain charm though, like when a characters have mental fits. I like FF7, s'good. But I did see the price of it today on PSN, £7.99? what cunts.

I've seen the last few. I think they're getting good again.

Ummmm Play Mucho Mario's Epic's Metroid type thing.. Dark something Modern Warfare 2 Splinter Cell God of War 3 Bin 360's motion control.. Netto or whatever Milo All that fitness stuff from Nintendo I still haven't fot round to catching up, especially Sony's stuff but I thought it was a good turn out overall. Mario Galaxy 2 was a big surprise for me, I was never expecting another 'proper' Mario game, a Zelda, yes because it's been a while now since TP though it has been mentioned one is in the works. Splinter Cell is the biggest oppinion changer. I kind of enjoyed the first game but the one after left me bored and cold so I never bothered with the series after that, I'm loving this new Bourne direction though, it's now jumped to one of my most anticipated games. I don't hate the motion stuff from MS, in my current space situation I will never be able to use it and the Milo thing.. well, I have never, ever got Molyneux's work. It's just never the type of thing I look for in games.

I'm listening now since I can't sleep because of the heat. With regards to Mass Effect I tend to think of it as a wide game. The story itself is pretty short but there is loads to do outside that. Like I mentioned elsewear, Ninja Gaiden II is now finished so no luck was needed. I did it on the easiest setting but I do still have a save game where I'm right at the end on the normal setting, doing that will unlock the hard one so I might try that but I'm expecting major frustration if I do. I'm thinking of doing the same with DMC4 but I feel a bit hack'n'slashed out. Dunno why I'm rambling, good podcast though.

Yes you are. I don't have a clue what all this means but I like how they have gone out and just called it 'Space Marine'. What you see is what you get. No 'Spartans', Cogs' or whatever the fuck they call them in Killzone, just 'Space Marines'. It looks more of a general action game than a shooter which is what I thought it would be. A game beating the fuck out of things means I'm interested.

I was surprised how well these games hold up too. I never played Crash Bandicoot 3 and downloaded it from the PSN store, I moved it to the PSP and find it's a perfect game for it. Graphics haven't aged nearly as badly as most PS1 games and it's simple but well focused gameplay still holds up.

when i play this i always use the first gun you get... I don't mind the early weapons but the ones I really got used to were unlocked later on so it's just adapting again. But I guess the M16 with the red dot sight can never fail as a reliable weapon.

Not been goin that much really. I've had the a few games of CoD 4's multiplayer which is still great and I found I got myself into it quite nicely which is surprising as when I stopped playing I'd only just reset my rank and playing it now is like when i first played it, with not having as good weapons as everyone else and all. Didn't stop me getting a few good killing streaks. The Klonoa remake on the Wii has been played a little too, I am just a few levels in and it's just as good as I remember, maybe a little easier. It was never hard but I thought there was more tricky bits. Anyway, lovely game. And I'm still plodding through Ninja Gaiden II, nearly at the end now and I'm deffinatly going to see those credits roll this time.

I'm still really looking forward to Muramasa despite the review because you know what Edge are like. Except Excitebots the rest of the scores look quite rudamentory.

Ka-bump. Anyone know where you can buy those rubber bits on inner-earphones, I keep losing mine.

They are quite good but that idea is taken from KoToR, the assasin robots did it in that and to more of a comical effect too due to them being evil bastards. I still keep meaning to finish my second play through and get my leg over because I couldn't even manage that at the time. I'm gunning for Ashley though because casual racism is like my fetish.

Probably just fume behind this screen. Not that I'm bothered, I like Star Wars films but don't have that much passion for it and I don't think I've sat through an entire Indiana Jones film. So it wasn't about games then?
