Sorry for the correction, I believe that would be Sonic and the Secret Rings.
The more I see the videos of DK Country Returns the more it's looking amazing.
Retro really is the new Rare.

Secret rings is fine.
Sonic cycle is DEAD!!!!!!
I want to see some later levels, all the ones I've seen are too simplistic, have too much hand holding or too many nearly control-free sections with all sorts of loops, super jumps, rails, etc. Coupled with the homing attack where you just tap a button repeatedly to get through enemies and, well, where's the gameplay? It's almost like a long chain of QTEs... And they know it cos half the time the camera zooms in to show Sonic and not what's ahead.
The optimist proclaims we live in the best of all possible worlds
while the pessimist fears this is true.

Did you finish it? And I'll remind you, you are under oath Mr. Vader.
Never played that one. Doesn't that have a good rep?
Also, FUCK MEDAL OF HONOUR. WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS INFINITE DEATH LOOP BULLSHIT. THIS IS INEXCUSABLE.
Noobie question here: what's infinite death loop?
And are you playing on consoles or the PC?

I'm sure Vader beat Secret Rings.
But did he beat Sonic and the Black Knight?

I'd also like to beat both of those games . . . to death with a baseball bat.
What happened was that I got killed while the game was checkpoint saving, and everytime it loads up, it does the death animation as I fall through the world. Gotta restart the levle.
Playing it on PS3.
Similar thing just happened on KZ2. Autosave with detonator in hand right in front of a big daddy and a bunch of space Nazis.
Sprint+jump got me out of it after a few times, though.
NPD is good for predicting future trends, but I believe that its numbers should always be taken in context. And that is why the gamasutra analysis' are always good to read. If you do the math, see the difference between the monthly sales, then see the install base gap, you can do the math and estimate how long it would theoretically take for 360 to catch up with Wii's sales. Saying that the 360 is the number 1 console like you just did is exactly the impression NPD gives.
How useful is that figure when the 360 is in third place worldwide and millions of units behind Wii in install base? That's why I would prefer 6 month reports, or even yearly reports and the figures should then be added to the LTD sales to give an accurate picture of what is happening.
Think about 2009 NPD, Wii was dragging all year in monthly reports and that is what the monthly NPD sales showed. Then Wii has a record breaking Christmas which shoots it back to the top as selling the most for the whole year. Look at the recent 2010 Japanese report which showed that PS3 had beaten the Wii for this year. PS3 is in the lead, it's the number 1 console!
And then a week later install base figures are released for Japan showing that PS3 had sold 5.5 million in Japan, compared to Wii's 10 million. So when you take the whole figures in their totality it's much more enlightening than monthly North American figures.
Last generation the PS2 absolutely spanked the GC and Xbox with 100 million sold. And instead the media concentrated on the losers race pissing match, painting the Xbox as some huge winner against the GC when there was only a worldwide 4 million difference between the two. Hello...... PS2 sold 5 times as much either console.
I love figures, but they should always be shown in context to show the whole picture and not just a snapshot. Otherwise they are misleading.
I already bought the disc version
NGamer is a good mag, sorta. I haven't bought it in years either. But you guys should listen to it's reviews when they are posted. They aren't some fanboy magazine dishing out 10/10s for every big game.

I bought it on sale, I tried to play it, with intention of finishing it, and then some crazy shit happened where you are running into the fore-screen dodging or gaingin rings and I died a bunch. I also vaguely remember cringworthy voice-acting.
I am sympathetic to Sonic, enjoyed Sonic adventures, once considered getting a Sonic tattoo, so I'm not a hater, but this game was one of the worst I attempted in 2010. And as an indication of my mental instability, I will try it once more.
Nintendo World Report review
"This game kind of feels like pants, but super-awesome comfortable pants that massage your body while you wear them."
"Kirby's Epic Yarn is one of the prettiest games on Wii, and it's also one of the best. The joyous platformer might not be difficult, but it's fun, inventive, and outrageously imaginative. If you like things that are fun and are cool with playing a game that has a world called Treat Land, then you should run out and buy Kirby's Epic Yarn right now. It's been a long time since Kirby was last seen on a home console, but it was well worth the wait."
10/10
Anyone one else as impressed as I am in Resistance 3's visuals? (scans in sundays updates)
I like it because it's not all plastic like and reflective and bump mapped to hell. It shows restraint and bit of class.
Some awesome news, the Hobbit is going to start filming in Feb. Check out the movie hype thread
Agreed. Nintendo would be foolish to lose Retro at this point.
