Gamespot AU Discussion.

I've PM'd one of the mods that I know, so maybe he can help.

I doubt they will. They are usually stubborn.

Too bad that its not a new Kotor. Those would have made for some nice areas.

Tomb raider wii looks pretty good.

EDIT: Thanks for the SW pics Dvader. These guys are crazy though, it doesn't look that bad to me.

Hamsters can't talk, so no podcast for me.

Shoot, I didn't even know what Skype was until I looked it up just now.

Hamtaro can talk.

Also, I think I'm close to being done with GS. I get modded for "Begging for ROMs"...WHEN I DIDN'T EVEN FUCKING DO ANYTHING RELATED TO THAT. I tell a dude that Chrono Trigger is coming out next year and that I'm enjoying Mother 3....in a topic related to the patch.

HOW THE FUCK IS THAT BEGGING FOR OR PROVIDING ROMS.

do i need earthbound experience to enjoy mother 3?

Bozon at IGN gave Order of Ecclesia a 9.  I only read the first sentence of the review which was basically a spoiler warning so i didn't read on.  This is the game I want to play the most right now.

GTA DS preview (Wednesdays updates)

You still need to factor in GTA’s particularly glee-inducing brand of action, however, which instantly gives the experience a dazzling sense of life, propelled by a brand of dynamism and chaos rarely seen on Nintendo’s console in an age when an entire genre exists in which the player’s pleasure is derived from grooming digital dogs and then buying them little hats.

The result, when running at full lick, with vehicles ripped apart by explosions, gunfire streaking across the streets and bodies keeling over in bloody pools, is mesmerising. Even at its most pedestrian, though, the world of Chinatown Wars is one you want to observe like a scientist peering into a Petri dish. The residents of this concrete playground leave their houses, get into their cars or wander the streets, stopping to have conversations or buy snacks from fast-food carts.

This world has physical properties, too: fences, street lamps and newsstands are smashed aside, for example, as you make the offroad diversions that inevitably punctuate your escapes from the law. A full day/night cycle also exists, along with realtime shadowing and a dynamic weather system (the game’s citizens even pull out umbrellas and hold them aloft when it rains). And it all dynamically rotates through 360 degrees to deliver an optimum view. Evidently, this really is Grand Theft Auto, even if it doesn’t look quite like any Grand Theft Auto you’ve ever seen.

. “The challenge,†Houser explains, “is to make something that works and is optimised for the hardware but at the same time is GTA, with the core things that make it GTA – such as having an open-world environment that you can move around freely, and a good density of population. The firefights are insane, and once we started to get that kind of performance on the DS we knew it was going to be really enjoyable. We wanted it to be feel almost like a GTA version of a classic arcade game – it seems like it’s being very serious but then it’s very fun and undermining itself constantly.â€

Minigames:

How about pulling up at a filling station and using the stylus to carefully aim a petrol-pump nozzle so that it dispenses fuel into bottles which, once they’ve had rags stuffed down their necks, are turned into Molotov cocktails? Or fiddling with a car’s ignition system in order to hotwire it? Punching out the rear window of a car that is rapidly sinking in a harbour having been launched from a jetty by the bad guys? All of these things feed in to the minigame experiences and, importantly, they seem to stack up logically rather than being divorced from what the core of GTA is supposed to be all about.

Sounds great

EDIT: Just got back from the GAF. Jesus, they are ripping this game apart based on the screens and nothing else.

I know we've gone over this before, but that guy looks way too much like Sauron.

I know Overlord Dark legend has good visuals, I have seen the video and IGN has said how great it looks in its preview. So why the hell are some of the screens they put out so craggy?

Is that a new N64 game from Rare? Damn...they're still pushing the technology.
