I had a few of them (both lists) - the N64 was a great machine but with some flaws, not least the ultra expensive carts and not as many games as the PS1. Shame it died, even bigger shame that I sold my first one! Banjo, Blast Corps and Wetrix were some of my favourite games that weren't all that popular.

We all knew the single player would be shit, right? Well how come I've been playing this loads over the past few days?! Not as much as I did when I got EBA but loads all the same! So you start off and there's a dodgy story involving pirates you have kidnapped you to take you to this Bomb Island. It actually turns out that the pirates are really actors, paid to take you there with your friends as one of you friends' birthday presents is to have the whole island fun-park to himself and his group. The friends, by the way are different coloured bombermen who are made out to be different characters (ie. the green one is a geek, the yellow is fat and annoying, you are white, pink is the token female, black is your nemesis, etc). Basically the story is shit and can be ignored. The gameplay consists of wandering round the island and playing various minigames. These are pretty good fun, and by finishing them you unlock them for multi and earn special tickets that enable you to unlock more paths to go further round the island. It's more fun than it sounds. Only played a little of single card traditional bomberman but it does exactly as you'd expect. Haven't tried it online yet. It falls flat on single card for the minigames as it seems that you pick one minigame then your opponents join you. If you want to change the game you have to disconnect and start again. Gay.

Bit late, but here we go! First Impression to follow....

As long as you're enjoying it! Hope you've got (or are getting) Blast Corps too as that's one of my faves.

Before selling my original N64 (*bangs head on desk*), I had Spacestation Silicon Valley and it was brilliant! Bought it for the PS1 and it wasn't as good. Or maybe it was the other way round? Meh, one of the versions was great!

Mind, graphically it's never gonna compare with the PSP version, but it does do speed quite well. Ridge Racer have never updated their car lists!

Welcome lilsi, I'll put your code up now. Live chat? You mean the shoutbox? I don't think there's any chat in the game. From what I can gather, each friend is just plonked as a CPU character on the wifi island and uses the info you told at the beginning (what food you like, etc). I've sorted your post views so they go forwards instead of backwards now. Back to Contact, I'm still stuck and far behind everyone else.

I went to see OPM (same line-up, Sly? Supporting Hed(pe) with a new band called Weapons?) not so long ago. They weren't as bad as I was expecting but I had no desire to meet them. The main band were rubbish. Weapons were fantastic, basically a rip-off of Senser and clearly 10 years too late, but good at what they do. And.....I've been dumb. Tool is next week. Doh.

The best I can probably do is get some crappy phone cam footage and pics, but I don't have a usb cable so that doesn't help matters.

Off to watch Tool at the MEN in Manc tonight! 3rd time I'll have seen them. They be awesomeness!

I tried putting a countdown thing up but it was a nightmare to configure. That would be cool though, let me try it on the frontpage... Clicky Bit empty looking.

Me and a handful of mates all use Netgear ones with no probs. Though lately we've all complained of slow net....

Mostly downhill. One of the courses is a snowy one so very much like snowboarding, but it works really well! There's multiple short-cuts and loads of modes for multi (do you race? point challenge? whole course or part? etc). I've spent a load of time on it and I'm not finished on story mode, still got the classic mode to go!

Tidy! I'm hoping I can keep the American Sk8land 'crew' but I doubt it. This time we're gonna kick some ass! Are you with me? I SAID ARE YOU WITH ME?!!! *cough*

Nope, but I will later!

Let's hope they do a better job this time around, eh?

Well I've been playing this loads (along with my stupidly big list of other current games) and I'm loving it! Haven't bothered with uploading my scores yet, just ploughing through story mode, about halfway through I think.

Tsk. He always has to go one better. Oh well, I've finally finished the stamp mode. Now just all those bloody missions to go....

Sold!

Cheers to relmatos for both the glitch vid and the guide of how to drain the moat! I did the deed, caught the rabbit in the moat and also one outside. I've had a bash at that mini-game now and though I was slightly improving, like ill says, it really is down to luck more than anything. I'm enjoying the main game though!

I've now beaten Bowser the first time through and unlocked Mario as a character. I have to say I'm enjoying it more than I was now I can appreciate the extra stuff they put in. Controls still suck though. I've unlocked 2 of the mini-games (2 rabbits in a basement I think?) but not the one I want. When do you drain the moat, relmatos?

It's fab-a-roony, duder! Hopefully will have my review up very soon.

Actually the difficulty seems to be spot on. I've been blazing through it since I got it on Saturday afternoon, unlocked 2 of the 3 bonus tracks, and am now near the end of Hard mode. If you've hammered Ouenden like we have, it doesn't start troubling you till the end of Normal and a few tracks into Hard. It's got exactly the same "just one more go" addictive shit going on that Ouenden has. I've not stuck on one game and abandoned all other plans to play a game like this in ages!

Funniest show ever made using dolls. Fact. Series 1 for your watching pleasure. Seth Green (him out of Buffy and Dr. Evil's son) is one of the guys behind it and make sure you catch the episode that features the Transformers.

Do it! I discovered that there's 3 tracks you don't get at first, you unlock them by going up in rank, not just by finishing modes. Currently I'm on the last level of Normal mode. And yes - there is a Cheerleader mode.
