Ive played this a couple of times now, both times with mates and both times we've all laughed our asses off. I'm not going to go on about each event and what you do because there are loads of them and it would be a post worthy of Sly and similar to my cock - incredibly lengthy. But it is really good! You need to have the wii plus motion controller and to a lesser extent the nunchuck at hand, it tells you which one you'll be using before the event. Particualr events we enjoyed are the bob sled, speed skating (got a serious competition going on with that one), snow boarding trick event and that skiing one where you have all those little hills and then do some jumps in the middle. The figure skating was pretty clever but a little unresponsive, also you can do pairs figure skating which involves two people, one wiimote and an oxygen machine so you can regain your composure if you are watching two other people make utter cunts out of themselves. It's a shame we aren't a very competitive site as the world records in each event would make for good times. If you see this on the cheap now the event themselves are over (not belittling the paralympics - i mean not that some of them arent little, they are... but in a good way. Not that i'm saying it's good to be disabled or anything. Fucking hell.) pick it up. It's fun.

so it's like the last one, arcade racer with loads of sega characters. it's good - nice handling, varied and mostly fun single player events - time trials, boost events, drift events, dodging traffic and flying through loops are my favorites. the tracks are mostly ace, really bright and exciting, there's a few boring bits mind, they've got ones based on samba de amigo, jet set radio, golden axe, skies of arcadia. did some time trialling on the billy hatcher track, didn't beat the expert ghost but it was really good fun, i'm still crap at the last corner, and i managed to fall through the floor a few times. didn't like all the event types, the elimination ones are a bit boring because of lack of weapons, but that's good for the races so i won't complain too much. don't like the online but that's probably just me, i don't like most racing games with weapons, and prefer the non-racing events in single player. each race has 3 difficulty levels (giving you 1/2/3 stars) that also determine the speed like 50/100/150cc in mario kart. playing on normal it's pretty hard starting out, but as i've played more i'm finding it easier, maybe something to do with leveling your car up - although i'm not sure that has a big effect - just lets you tune it to your preferred style a bit (better speed/boost/handling etc). in campaign mode you need the stars to unlock new events and characters - seems you can unlock a good amount just playing on easy, but you'll need to play on medium or above to unlock have it on rental and was going to pick it up when it gets cheaper but it's only ~£25 from asda so i might just buy it... see from the chart thread other people have been playing - what think you?

It's an unusual day in Eagleland. A meteor has landed in the hillside just above your house in the outskirts of Onett and that's enough to make a classic RPG out of. It literally starts just like that and you and your dog go and explore. It's a very atmospheric start, the music is quite cool and the characters you meet say odd things to you and its night time so it's dark. You fight random wild animals that attack you, combat is turn based. As you level up you start to get PSI powers, the first one I got was a healing spell that can be used both inside and outside of battle. Ive since got a hypnosis spell and a half powerful offensive multi enemy hitter. At the beginning of the game it asks you what is your favorite food and what is your favorite thing. I put food as pizza and my favorite thing as boobs. This offensive PSI spell that I learnt is called PSI Boobs on the select screen, that made me chuckle. Ive only progressed so far as to actually visit the town of Onett which opens up to you the next day. Onett has shops and hotels and hospitals, all of which can be utilised. Fighting enemies puts money in your bank account which can be withdrawn from ATM's located inside drug stores. Drug stores also sell weapons and clothing (which is your armour). Saving the game is accessed via telephone calls to your dad (!). He also tells you how much money you have overall and how many exp points you need untill your next level up. You can only hold so many items so again via the phone system you can call your sister who works for an express delivery firm, she send a guy to you whom can take excess stock items for you and deliver them back when needed. You can call your mum too but that seems pointless, although going back and visiting her in your house gets your Hit points and PSI points restored. I hand to spend a little time grinding so as to comfortably beat a guy who was running a gang from the local arcade. This pleased the mayor who gave me a key for a shack not too far away. Unlocking this shack took me to a new area and another boss who, despite my new found strength from leveling up, beat me comfortably. I started playing this around half midnight and now it was 3am and I was getting sleepy,so that was enough. Guess its a little more grinding before I tackle him again, I really enjoyed what I have played so far. Some of the dialogue between you and the townsfolk is pretty funny and the music has been pretty good as well, that always helps. And I do get the impression that this is a game that everyone should give a go, it's from a classic RPG era after all and it does feel a bit spesh. I have no idea what direction this game is heading in but I'm kinda excited about the prospect of finding out. In fact I'm going to play some more right now.

i rented this to play some coop, not really an aliens fan, it's not great. anyway, had some bugs - first of all i had no main gun, the guy has his hands out like hes holding a gun but there's nothing there, so i had to use the shotgun and pistol only, rebooting the xbox didn't even fix that. another point my friend fell through the scenery in the game. we had trouble on a few sections with the difficulty despite being on the easiest mode, but it does look like the coop is supposed to be for 4 people.

So this is good fun. You have 6 NES classic games unlocked from the start -Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jnr, Mario Bros, Super Mario Bros, Excitebike and Balloon Fight. Each game is made up of a series of challenges. You have three lives in which to accomplish your task, Its pretty simple to begin with but you are at the behest of 1980's controls which will fuck you up somewhere along the line. Like Donkey Kong will start you out just jumping a certain amount of barrells and ends up getting you to do a couple of quick challenges before tackling a whole level. Each time you complete a challenge you get given points which fills up a bar at the bottom that when filled unlocks a stamp for Miiverse posting. Each challenge can earn you three starts depending on how quickly you completed it. Earning stars unlocks level in the 'remix' game which accompanies the original 6 NES games. The remix challenges are things like racing through a level of Super Mario Bros in silhouette mode (so its tough to see enemies) or playing Donkey Kong Jnr with a periodically disappearing background. These levels have been the most fun so far. At 100 stars I unlocked the original Zelda, there space for another game in the selection bar and the remix levels are under the banner of 'Remix I' so i'm guessing there will be a 'Remix 2' series. £7.99 feels a little steep for whats basically WarioWare with NES games, there is a lot to do but a fiver would have been a fairer asking price imo. Exitebike and the original Mario Bros are terrible games as well, I cant understand what made Nintendo pick them to star here. The jumping in Mario Bros is fucking awful. Ive managed to get all the stars in Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jnr so far but Mario and Excitebike are pretty tough. Actually, some of the Super Mario Bros challenges are pretty hard, can see me have a tough time with some of the latter stages.

I had to google the title, I've been playing this quite a bit, honest. Not single player mind. Bought for spies vs mercs mode. On some of the previous games this mode has been brilliant, really different take on multiplayer. This version I'm not convinced by, not that it's bad. The setup is a bit different to previous games, there's 5v5 teams for a start, well it's definitely more than in the past. And when you start a hack you have to stay within a zone till the hack ends, the zones are quite big, the other spies have to then help protect the hacker for the duration, if the person who started the hack dies you have to hack it again quick or all progress is lost. And only one point out of 3 can be hacked at the same time. There's a lot less places to hide as a spy, but spies now have guns and are capable of cloaking and punching/killing mercs from the front, which seems to turn it into a more of a deathmach than previous games. But really I haven't played it enough to fully comment, you really need to know the maps inside out to play this mode and I haven't learnt any of them yet. There is also a classic 2v2 mode too, so maybe that's better. Also played some coop which is good fun. And amazingly buggy for me, a missing clif face that I was climbing along, people walking in mid air, staying stood up when dead, objectives/actions not registering etc. and the person I was playing with could see none of this.

So we know about this yah? .So its basically a hardcore old school platformer that fucks you the better you get at it. I'm currently on level 121. This is a video of level 329 (penultimate level). You can spend the cyrstals you pick up in game on stuff, one such stuff is a video of the AI doing the level. On the websites I look at, only one person has beaten that. That dude bought the video for the last level: Fucksticks.

Been playing this for a bit. Playing using the same 3 characters as the Giant Bomb video - the knight, twins and monk. I'm not sure as the usefulness of the twins as yet but the knight's shield is good and the monk's telekinesis seems invaluable. I'm not convinced with the control feel - it just feels a bit sticky, a bit too heavy. It looks fantastic and it's Ron Gilbert and Double Fine so the writing is top notch. The trial is pretty short, then I unlocked the full game and got some kind of almost game-breaking bug where the camera wouldn't follow my character but I also couldn't change my character. I'm not sure how I got out of it but I ended up saving and quitting a few times. I'm currently stuck on a puzzle that is most likely staring me in the face but I have a minecart to deliver and no sign of what should go in it.

I remember the glory days of playing Tekken 3 on the PS1, and the not so glory days of playing Tekken 4 and the first tag tournament on PS2, the latter two were average at best so I lost enthusiasm to try 5 or 6 moving instead to soul calibour and Mortal Kombat, however seeing the new tag tournament in the shops brought back memories and I decided to give it another go. I'm very glad I did! It arrived yesterday and I've been playing it non stop since. The first thing I noticed was the sense of real power, the sound vibration and graphics all combined perfectly to convey a sense of power from the characters I haven't felt with other beat 'em ups. There's also a massive list of characters to choose from, mastering them all would take all year. The game is a lot more balanced then previous installments as well, Eddie is no longer a button bash your way to glory character, yes you can button bash him but you wont get too far, the game actually rewards good fighting and learning the characters so you don't get the annoying old scenario where you spend weeks mastering Hwoarang and then some little git comes along and button bashes Eddie, beating you in no time flat. To balance things out further it now also uses a true skill system, you go up belts, from Kyu to Dans which works well for online multiplayer, the true skill means you battle people around your level, however offline it's a bit pointless to start with as until you get into the higher Dans the levels are all about the same, pretty easy. The achievements for the game are also really simple, I got 20/50 in the first couple hours of play without even trying, none of them are hard to get. Arcade mode is so easy no matter what belts you're fighting, you just seem to stroll through until the final stage which is a bit rubbish but the other modes make up for it. Speaking of other modes, it has a fight academy to teach bad players how to get better, but it really just shows the basics unfortunately, it uses combot to teach movement, blocking, simple limb movement, punishers, throw breaks and tag dynamics, the special moves for each character and combos you have to teach yourself in practice mode. It also has a customise section where you can buy and change clothing and items, a bit like soul calibour but without the abilities side of it, and you can equip random and silly things if you want. No story to the game though which is probably it's biggest let down but that's ok because it's just fantastic arcade fun! It's hard to describe just what's so great about this game but the gameplay really is a lot of fun. Overall then it's too easy to begin with and lacks a story mode but that doesn't matter because this game is incredible fun, more fun then I've had from a game in ages and I'd highly recommend it to everyone. 8.5/10 So, I thought I'd start a thread so people could arrange matches and talk about the setups they're using. I'm a Jin player myself, I did start off teaming him up with Eddie but I've switched that to Nina now because they both like each other so they give each other +1 Netsu activation and can do combination tag throws. Item wise I've given Nina a handgun so if I'm in a stand-off position with neither one of us advancing I can just tag and shoot them. I'm currently hammering practise mode to learn Jins 10 hit combo and then move on to Ninas. If anyone fancies a fight let me know!

I've been playing this over the last week or so - I had a game that I started over a year ago but like Mr Lakitu said, if you stop playing for a while you forget everything. The story behind the game is basically that a huge Lagiacrus is terrorising a fishing village and you have to get strong enough to kill it by slaughtering every other type of monster on the island! Its kind of like Phantasy Star Online in that you get assigned quests from a Guild which get progressively harder. Typically they start of with 'collect some mushrooms', 'kill some defenseless animals' etc, but they have just started getting trickier for me and I am killing monsters left right and centre. You can also just head out to the island and hunt and scavenge if you want to. There are 6 or 7 different types of weapons and they all handle differently and the combat is nice and fast paced. You dont level up in the typical way - the monsters you kill drop items and you can carve up their corpses for bones and pelt which can all be used to make better weapons and armour. This is the only way to get stronger. There is a HR level online but that only restricts the level of quest you can attempt. There are also a few side quests to complete like improving your village farm to provide supplies and completing requests for the village. I am really enjoying the offline mode - not so much the online. The community isnt that large and people tend to do the higher level missions which means I cant join in although one or two people have helped me out a bit. The online missions are basically the offline missions but a bit harder to allow for multiple players which makes it really difficult to solo. One player helped me out quite a bit, and was quite chatty until he told me he was eight years old. Not only did I feel like a dirty old molesterer but he was awesome compared to me. Little shit. Blocked. Its a really gorgeous game as well - albeit in a lo-res Wii stylee. The monsters are brilliantly animated.
