Someday I'll pick up those damn metroid Prime games to see what the fuss is all about.

Dude get on the ball man....there's no better exploration based game than MP. The 2nd is the worst out of the bunch and probably my least favorite Metroid game, but still good quality stuff. And the Wii game was close to the greatness of MP1, but it wasn't perfect like MP was.

Yeah the Trilogy disc is one of the best deals in gaming....3 great to incredible games in one package, with superior controls, and a very cool case. Its incredibly hard to find now though...you'd likely have to get it off ebay or amazon for about 70+ dollars. The only other package that is as great as this one though, is Half Life 2: The Orange Box.

I skipped Trilogy; I'd rather play Metroid Prime with a GCN controller than with IR.

Steel is a fool!

Hey guys, is the HD version of RE4 going to be a port of the Wii version with Move controls on the PS3? That might make it worth checking out.

The only problem with this is then you'd actually need to buy Move.

Breath of Fire 4 Coming to PSN

A lot of people have said that BoF4 was the best of the series. Wonder if I should give it a shot. I enjoyed the first two (particularly the 2nd), but I found BoF3 to be a super generic game without any interesting qualities so I never tried 4. Anyone ever play it before and can say if they think it'd be worth playing?

Whew. Done with Amensia: The Dark Descent. Such a stressful game, though toward the end it got less and less creepy, but it was still interesting, and that was only the last hour or so where the story revealed almost everything it could and it was sort of clear you were about to be done with it all very, very soon. According to Steam it took me about 10 hours to finish it which isn't bad for an adventure game of this type, even if the smooth engine and controls bring it closer to other genres like whatever Silent Hill: Shattered Memories fits into (which are also fairly short anyway). I was surprised with the variety in environments considering the setting, I expected it to be mostly like the very beginning, a run down mansion and such with little deviation to keep the development costs down, but that wasn't the case. The game is top quality through and through, even if a very few and largely insignificant visual flaws and quirks here and there make its indie nature evident. I've got the Justine side story left, but I'll leave it for later. After that I'll see what custom stories fans have created.

Fedor needs to retire. He used to be the least hit fighter, that was never knocked down. Now he get's more shots in the face than Jenna Jamenson in his last two fights. Even if the stoppage was early, Fedor should not even be in that position anyway. Father time destroys yet another great fighter.

I need help with FFIV on DS.  I'm about 20 hours in and the game instead of getting easier is actually getting a lot harder.  I'm sure i've been playing this in completely the wrong way and haven't really paid much any attention to the "augment" system.  I'm now in the underworld and have no way yet to get back to the overworld.  Rydia is back but she is so weak she often dies in one blow so it's difficult to even try to level her up.

Aspro?  Robio?  Anyone else who has played this?  Is there a way I can salvage this and somehow see the game through to the end or do I need to start again?

Just read that Gamestop has dropped the price of wii goldeneye to $9.99 for this weekend only

1up advice if you want to import Xenoblade to america

So, if you plan to import Xenoblade, I can give you a few pointers. For one, every European release of the game contains text in multiple languages; there's no need to be afraid of fixed German, French or Spanish subtitles. Furthermore, while the game does run in the dreaded PAL 50Hz, it also outputs in 60Hz and 480p, formats every American TV set should be able to handle. Due to the current exchange rate, the import of Xenoblade might be a bit more expensive than your average retail title. While the German version works out to about $68, you can get the UK edition game for a much more reasonable $49 on those countries' respective Amazon websites (though Amazon doesn't always ship video games internationally, so you may need an intermediary). The limited edition, which contains a red Classic Controller Pro, is currently sold out, but let's be realistic: Shipping that huge box to America wouldn't exactly be cheap to begin with.


A bigger problem will be getting Xenoblade Chronicles to run on an American Wii. Thanks to Nintendo's region-lock policy, you won't be able to play Xenoblade without tinkering with your system's firmware. While there are various ways to get import titles running on Wiis from different regions, I won't go into too much detail here. For one, it's a large and complicated subject and furthermore, most of these mods not only enable legitimate import copies but pirate copies as well, a practice we neither endorse nor support. A truly dedicated fan could of course arrange to import a PAL system to use.
