Looks like Vader's getting back into LBP...

That is pretty cool, annoys me though that it doesn't look like the authentic models. The sackboy face distorts what they should really look like.

@ GG That's easy they got the Bayonetta review right and the Dragon Age for 360 wrong.

Now if it was the same writer, then things get interesting.

A guy that likes action games but not RPGs?

For me I dont like certain genres that much but I can still recognise the inherent quality of a product. You would never find me 5/10-ing a good game just because it wasn't my thing. I think you are the same, you can recognise quality even if it isn't neccessarily your favourite game type.

So it seems that Silent Hill will end up being one of Wii's best games....how funny considering Konami has always avoided the series on Nintendo systems for it being "too mature" and now they put it on the ultra-casual Wii.

A 5  for Dragon Age?! Those guys are retarded.

Shattered memories so far only has one review which was an 8.0. I think most reviews will fall between 7.8 and 8.7.

Pretty decent Reflex review from gamespot apart from this:

There's just one other wrinkle in this otherwise excellent package, and that's the occasional aiming hiccups. When you look down the sights of your weapon and are aiming near an enemy, your targeting reticle will snap onto that enemy. This assist is helpful when it works, but sometimes your reticle will jump back to where you were originally aiming or otherwise dislodge from your opponent. Sometimes the problem seems to be the result of frame rate stutters, and other times it happens while things are running smoothly. It's disorienting and possibly fatal, but fortunately it doesn't happen enough to become a full-blown nuisance. Extensive customization options that allow you to find your preferred aiming style go a long way toward mitigating this issue.

Argh! Just turn off aim assist in the options.

I don't see the problem with that paragraph. He talks about how the aim assist doesn't always work the way it should, which is a valid issue, but in his last sentence, he clearly states that "extensive customization options . . . go a long way toward mitigating this issue," which means the same thing as what you wrote.

Mistake 1 was using aiming assist in the first place hamster.

Mistake 2 was not turning it off, as the options dont "mitigate it" they eliminate it altogether if you turn off the aim assist. Which you should be doing with IR controls as fine as this. You dont need crutches with IR to shoot down hordes of enemies. Just skill.

He's a reviewer, thus he is supposed to "review" all of the settings and options. Eliminating the aim assist may make the game much harder for those that are not as skillful with IR controls as you are, GG. I see no mistakes in that paragraph. No offense, but I think you are just looking for stuff to complain about in this case.

No, if a reviewer is having a problem that changing an option in the options menu can fix, he obviously should fix it.  

You dont appreciate IR controls as you've said.

Playing this game with aim assist is like putting down the controller in NSMB and letting the super guide play the game.

Honestly, you really should be complaining about why the devs decided to put in such a feature if it's not needed in IR controlled games. Perhaps it's there because Wii has lot of new gamers who need a setting like that? It's clearly not designed for experienced players like yourself, which is why there's an option to turn it off.  It's not the reviewers fault that the devs put in a feature that doesn't work; it's his job to say how well it works, which is what he did. Also, my personal viewpoint on IR controls has nothing to do with this conversation.

Help. . .  playing EverQuest again. . . can't escape.............

EverQuest? That game is still alive?

I wonder if that PS2 version of EQ still lives as well?

EQ is very much alive it seems. There's even a decent number of new players out there.  Supposedly there are still around 75K active accounts out there.  Probably more in the near future as a new expansion is being released next month and those tend to bring back a lot of old players.  A lot of the gameplay has shifted to the new areas though , and many of the old zones are virtual ghost towns. It's actually kind of cool checking them out again, remembering how busy and packed they once were.  It's like, half the game has turned into Detroit.

And since you asked, apparently EverQuest Online Adventures for the PS2 is still supported and small development is still going on for it.  There's supposed to be around  5K - 8K active accounts still playing the game and that's all that's needed to keep the game profitable.
