Mushroom Wars keeps getting better, 3 hours in and it has some cool levels, good puzzles, good variety. Really quality game but I have the feeling that its going to be crazy short.

Prince of Persia is still awesome but holy crap it is an automated experience, if you really break it down, all you are doing is pressing the right button at the right moment, you dont even need the stick when you are in a major platforming section. Still I love it, I might have an IGN moment with this game.

GG I saw your link to that Mushroom Wars review, yeah I agree with the score and most of what he said. He goes a bit overboard with the darkness and theme, story is there but its not that prominent. This game reminds me so much of Psychonauts but it doesn't have the story nor the humor of that game. What it does have is some freaking awesome levels, that review is totally right, its like Honey I Shrunk the Kids levels, the platforming world is made up of normal household items that are huge cause of your size. And the game keeps surprising me, cool puzzles, there was a 2D section and boss fight even. So yeah that review is pretty spot on.

 Music..... Must hear more about the music!

Yay! My fucking 360 kicked the fucking bucket again. Now I have to send it in to get another fucking 360 which will break again because that's the way things are in fucking life.
At least that gave me an excuse to start properly Path of Radiance and continue with DeBlob. I'll have the chance to work through most of my Wii backlog, I believe.
I have to finish:

• Galaxy
• TR Anniversary
• RE4
• DeBlob
• Endless Ocean
• FE: Radiant Dawn =this one stil shrinkwrapped
• Trauma Center
• and I'm not even considering some of my daughters' games such as Nights and Brawl.
  
• Besides my couple of Cube titles: RE Make, Sunshine, P.N.03, Baten Kaitos and the aforementioned PoR.
  

I still have games to finish but that is a big list. I'm starting to think that I will never finish Okami and Mass Effect.

I need to pick up:
Boom Blox, Zack and Wiki, Elebits and Animal Crossing. Like, yesterday.

If you get Animal Crossing, then we can gang up on GG's town, and chop down all his trees! And trample all of his flowers too! Moohahaha!

Did you manage to fill in all the holes I dug in your town?

I just got done watching "Princess Momoke" (Spelling?) and holy shit what a masterpiece. Easily one of the best movies I've ever seen. I swear I now see how Disney is so ridiculously over-rated.

Can't believe you're just getting around to these Ghibli films. Have you seen Howl's Moving Castle and My Neighbours the Yamadas, or Pom Poko yet?

P.S Thank god for the Factor 5 update, I really want to see this Superman game or Kid Icarus. Or just their engine.

Just read this RE5 preview

If Leon's Spanish excursion wasn't enough to convince you of the series' jump from horror to action then Resident Evil 5 will beat you senseless with ammo, ammo and more ammo until you grudgingly accept the truth. Any horror roots have long been severed. Tension which featured as recently as Resident Evil 4 is - literally - sidestepped by the change in controls and the inclusion of co-op. As Chris and Sheva stroll through the opening town there are no scares, no flanking villages and no break in the action. The second player has ended the feeling of dread every time you open a new door. It's the series' Dino Crisis 2: waving goodbye to its frightening roots and embracing its action genre with open arms.

WTF? Taking the horror out of Resident Evil is seriously stupid. There's plenty of straight action games out there now, why turn RE into yet another one?

 Well, at least someone thought it was funny. So far, everyone else has just ignored it.  

 Not true, I chuckled a bit!

This is why I'm not particularly excited by RE5, the only familiarities are the main characters, there's nothing left to link it with RE.

Still, I'm sure it will be a blinding action game nevertheless.

What's the release date in Europe for Mushroom Men? It looks like a cool game.

Not sure. Sorry there was an error so I couldn't respond to your PM. But the number of RROD problems has been ridiculous, most people I know, including my own brother has had the problem. I'm a light user so I haven't had the problem. But I do have red and green dots on my wii!

You should make a thread and ask or check out the NeoGAF thread on the subject. I know a good number of forumers at gamespot and a couple here that have had the RROD. SteelAttack for one and Edgecrusher a number of times.

SteelAttack twice and Edgecrusher a number of times.

Fixed.

Zack and Wiki get, biatches. Going to play it now!!!

Fuck you, I haven't found it yet. Some asshole like you must have bought all copies.

 And only a soulless being like you is able to put Galaxy in his backlog. How can you not play? You must be evil incarnate, that's the only logical explanation!
