Well Black Ops is most certainly not the Perfect Dark Wii equivalent or anything close to it since it's just more COD so GoldenEye is still the best FPS on Wii regardless of what the best FPS on N64 may or may not have been

i disagree again because black ops zombie mode its better then all of goldeneye because its zombies

Be sure to giive some Rune Factory 3 impressions as soon as you can. Very curious to hear about the game and god knows the major sites won't review it for a while.

its a shame what RF isn't loved by gaming sites as it desearves, after reading the booklet looks like monster transforming can't be done intel after beating the first cave boss i am worried about the monster changing part, the anime intro is good but frontier's was better in the song but 3 has better anime

It's very surprising since the first 3 games of the series have generally been well reviewed games, typically scoring around the 8.0 mark.  You'd think that would justify a higher priority as far as reviews go, but sadly I guess sites try to offer coverage for high profile games rather than good ones.

I'm also a little worried about the monster changing, so be sure to let me know how that goes. That's one of the big things keeping me from checking it out. Just doesn't seem like fun to me.

World Of Goo Dev to Publishers: Create Indie Teams

I like that the 2D Boy guys (specifically Ron Caramel) are doing so much to promote indie game development.  However, it's been over 2 years since World of Goo came out, and they have yet to formally announce a second game.  At some point it's time to stop coasting on one success and show the world that it wasn't a fluke. I'd give them a lot more credence and help their cause with Indie Fund and the general promotion of independent development if they can show that an indie studio can make more than one game. Frankly they're going to miss the bus is they keep waiting. If "a new game from the developers of World of Goo" were promoted last year it would have been huge.  Every year that goes by makes that little snippet less effective.

That's really unfortunate. There's not even a fully translated patch for the SNES ROM that's floating around out there.  Been waiting to play this game for a while and now I suppose I'll have to wait even longer.  All that said, I'm not super disappointed. I wouldn't be shocked to hear that they believed it just wasn't as good as the others. The story is generally considered to be a little weak, and the game's major feature was its class system. The one in DQ7 was modeled after it though it offered a much more substancial list of classes to choose from and more robust all the way around.  It may just feel like too big of a step backwards after DQ7 and more likely DQ9.  I'm still goiing to cross my fingers for it though. I'd like to play it simply so I can say I've experienced the entire series.

I am completely convinced they did it so they can spruce it up and release it for the 3DS.

That's a fair idea, but I'm not sure how exciting a 3-D RPG is going to be. I don't really see the benefit.

There will be no benefit at all other than a 3D effect to the buildings and structures in the town and the world --AND-- 3D depth in the Battle Screens.

It's basically Squenix' way of saying: "We'll have a Dragon Quest game available at the 3DS launch!"

They've already got a Kingdom Hearts though. They're cannabilizing their own sales. It's official, they need me to run things.

true but KH is part of square team while DQ is part of enix team and DQ is the only part of enix that square let them keep, besides ogre tactics series really square dominated enix and made them there bitches

That Mario Roast was awful. I liked the idea, but the execution didn't work.

That is one of the best Hitler rants I've seen in a long time.

Goldeneye Wii and N64 comparison video

OK. So. They made some of the events somewhat similar to the N64 version. Doesn't look, feel or play like it though. It's basically Call of Duty: 007.

RE: DQ6 -- that was my first thought too. But they have already released it in Japan -- where they would get the most out of such a strategy.  Here in the west I'd think they'd make more from the huge install base.  At this point I side with ASK -- it;s one dude in Europe who have said this -- and how often have the European arm of a Japanese gaming company (or Reggie) been wrong about stuff like this?  (that was rhetorical, but I'll answer "A LOT").
