Got the Nintendo DS Browser. It's okay but very slow to load pages, especially those with images. I feel like I'm on dial-up again when I use it. Apart from that it works quite well.

Picking up the Medal of Honor:Collection(PS2) today. The package comes bundled with MoH:Frontline, MoH:Rising Sun, MoH:EA Not a bad set for $30. I figure that should be good for some WWII FPS action. |

Those are all fun games. Rising Sun isn't nearly as bad as most of the reviews say. The first 4 or 5 levels of it are really great. |

There's no need to post here and in the N64 board when you get N64 games; keep this to the N64 board. And what happened to that spell checker, Deku Link? We're gonna have problems if I have to start cleaning up your posts again. <_< |

Nice... I've heard good things about Death Jr. ... As far as what you'd enjoy... hmmmm... I guess the closest thing I could give you to a recommendation is to tell you what I've enjoyed recently. Well, basically... as a collector, I enjoy almost anything with any kind of merit. Correction... I enjoy buying almost anything with any kind of merit. As a gamer, I'd probably enjoy playing a little less than almost anything with any kind of merit. But as a grad student with a full-time job, I have very little time to enjoy playing games, and have since lost the attention-span/patience for a good many of them. So when a game successfully draws me in, I kind of consider it a big thing. The ones that have (and deeply, I might add) are (in order of magnitude): Picross DS Zack & Wiki Super Mario Galaxy Guitar Hero III Manhunt 2 Chalk On topic: Just got Mercury Meltdown Revolution (Wii) today. Not a penny more than US$19.00, too. ...DS games are seldom this cheap. |

Nice one! Are you enjoying it so far? I got a few games yesterday. First of which is:  Links Crossbow Training and the Wii Zapper. Anyone else here got this? Link's crossbow training is quite good, if a little basic. As you might expect, you shoot targets and enemies from Twilight Princess in Twilight Princess locations. In some challenges you can move with the control stick, in others you only pan around to shoot enemies behind/above you and some challenges are simply shooting what appears on the screen. There's lots of challenges to take part in, a practice mode and you get awarded a medal after each test. The Wii Zapper is slightly less interesting. It's a gun which you attach the wiimote and nunchuk to which you think would make aiming easier but it actually makes aiming more difficult. For some reason you need to angle the wii zapper before the targeting reticule will appear on your TV. I need to aim roughly above the TV for the cursor to appear at the bottom of the TV. This is quite stupid; why would you want to use it if you can't frickin' aim with the thing? It's fun for five minutes but not practical, not as accurate as just using the wiimote and nunchuk and it restricts what buttons you can use (the buttons on the face of the wiimote aren't easy to reach when using it). Additionally, it's quite useless in Umbrella Chronicles because in that game you're asked to shake the wiimote or nunchuk to evade attacks. Using the wii zapper means that you can't shake one without shaking the other and Umbrella Chronicles doesn't let you away with that. In short, it's a piece of junk and a quite unnecessary wii accessory.  A bit like... The Wii Light Sword I got for xmas. This thing looks kinda cool (it is a lightsaber after all) but it's terrible to use. It's not well weighted and the pointer becomes extremely erratic when you use it. It's maybe good as a cheap lightsaber but it's a crap wii accessory. Can anyone see a pattern here? Here's some of the other games I've bought this month:  I further trimmed my games collection and traded in some PS2 games (Gran Turismo 4, Tomb Raider Legend and Driver Parallel Lines), some N64 games (Super Mario 64 japanese version, Glover and Mission Impossible) and some PSone games (Sydney 2000 Olympics and Final Fantasy IX). I also sold Call of Duty 3 for the Wii. So... I got a big discount on Burnout Paradise and the Wii Zapper. Burnout Paradise is much better than the demo with plenty of events, etc. It's also blisteringly fast and the map is huge. Definitely worth a look if you need a new racing game. |

I just got Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games for the DS...and it's fairly hard in most events for me, but anyway, fun game. I also, earlier, bought Sonic Rush Adventure, which I beat all the main stuff in a week. In other words, both endings, availability to all stages, and atleast an A in all the bosses(save, if I could remember anyway, that Ghost Condor, who's an actual challenge, and of course, the final boss...) |

I've always thought the uniqueness of the Wii controller was that it could cover a wide variety of functions without needing to buy additional accessories. The Wii Zapper is largely superfluous, because the Wiimote/Nunchuk combo can already act as a gun without it (and judging by reviews, the Zapper makes things worse). |

I used the Zapper at a friend's house. It does absolutely nothing to add to the game's whatsoever. I'd much rather just use by imagination. Nice call on Mass Effect. If I had money for a 360, Mass Effect would be the first game I would purchase. Let us know what you think of it! However, shame on you for trading in Final Fantasy IX! You made Vivi cry...

It's time. For the past few years my SNES has been boxed up and hardly played. Last weekend I decided that it was time to sell up. If I'm honest the SNES never really interested me as much as the 3D consoles did. I have fond memories of playing Super Mario Kart, Street Fighter Turbo and Super Mario World but, apart from that, the sentimentality just isn't there. 2D never really done it for me and, since I can download most of the games I'm interested in on the virtual console or play the GBA versions on my DS, there very little reason for me to hang on to my SNES. So I've contacted a buyer who expressed an interest in the console and the games, and he's giving me a fair price for them. I guess I could maybe... maybe get more for the games if I sold them seperately but I'm too lazy to list things on eBay. Tonight I had one last play session. A bit of Super Mario World, a bit of Super Star Wars... but nothing to convince me to keep it. So, let the SNES tributes begin. Tell me why I'm crazy to be selling this console! Change my mind... before it's too late!

*Loses all respect for Alxbly* Playing ports of SNES games on a GBA is nothing like the real thing. Yoshi's Island and Super Metroid alone justify keeping the console. Add to that Final Fantasy VI, Chrono Trigger, Super Mario World, Gradius III, R-Type III, Contra: Alien Wars, Wizardry V and a slew of brilliant 2D games -- that little gray thing is just so beautiful. Then again, there are always emulators. *Hugs the people that made the fan-translation of FF5* (I thought you had already sworn off |

Seemed alright to me. Plus there's the added bonus of gaming whenever and wherever you want.
There's a few games I've already played and a few I'd like but would probably never get around to playing. Out of interest, how many of them are available on the virtual console? If I ever really want to play those games I guess I could just download most of them.
A trademark Gossy generalization. 2D makes all the difference.... *yawn*  It's taken a while but I'm finally getting around to selling what I don't play regularly. That's doesn't mean 2D games exclusively, as lots of 3D games are being sold off as well. Anything that doesn't grab my attention, basically. |

Generalization... or indisputable fact that science has proven to be 100% true[citation missing]?  3D games will be better when they actually have a reason to be 3D. Games shouldn't be striving to be interactive movies, they should be striving to be experiences that can't be replicated in films, novelizations, etc. Gameplay that only serves to string cinematics together with digital acting and an often poor narrative is an absolute waste of the potential that games have.
About half of them have. Yoshi's Island, to my great displeasure, has not come to the VC yet. Square-Enix isn't supporting the VC as of now (aside from Act Raiser), probably because their GBA ports are still making money at four times the price. Most of the popular non-Square titles are already on the VC, so you're probably correct in your SNES-selling rationle -- but I still resent it!

NOOOO!!!!!! Don't do it, Alxbly!!!! Actually, I can't fault you, since we all have different gaming tastes. I personally love the SNES, but it's definetly not for everyone. Most people would think I have weird gaming tastes... (Nintendo and PlayStation fan). I know, what a clash of different gaming that is, butI've been a Sony fan since 1995 and I've been a Nintendo fan since, forever? B) If you don't play the SNES then by all means, sell it and get some money for games that you actually want to play. I am thinking about selling off most of my Sega stuff pretty soon(Extra Genesis consoles, Saturn stuff, 32x,cd,GameGear). Because I really have no interest in them, I'd be happy in just keeping my Dreamcast and original Genesis, for SEGA gaming. |

Picked these up today at the local pawn shop... Metal Slug: Advance(GBA) Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town(GBA) Both games cart only, but they were only $8 each! I love Metal Slug and I am also a big Harvest moon fan(aside from the forgetable PS2/GC versions). |

I agree... partially. Gameplay is ALWAYS what makes a good game, not cinematics. This is maybe what has put me off the Metal Gear Solid games... I don't find the story to be compelling nor do I find the cinematics to be very interesting, therefore I spent half of Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes desperately trying to skip unskippable cutscenes. Screaming "I just wanna play the damn game!!!!!" didn't help much either. But I can think of so many games that really do give you a 3D experience. The 3D Grand Theft Auto games, for example, are truly amazing. They allow you to make your own choices about how you progress. There's countless other examples; Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, Half Life 2, Crackdown, Hitman, Mass Effect, Endless Ocean, etc, etc. Or even games like Call of Duty 4 where cinematics do feature (only at the start and end of the levels, though) but the gameplay is just so immersive that you will happily skip the cutscenes to experience the many different layers that the gameplay has. 3D has had a reason for being since Mario 64 showed how things should be done way back in 1996. It tends to be the crap 3D games don't take advantage of being 3D. One example I can think of is King Kong; it felt so scripted and linear that I just gave up on it. Although it was meant to be 3D it would have worked better in 2D. In the end it felt like a one dimensional game based on overhyped movie license... Ironically, that's where so many games (both 3D and 2D) end up falling flat. Curse those hastily made movie tie-in games.
That's exactly what I'm doing. There's no point in keeping consoles and games that don't really interest me. I might still live to regret this... but I guess there's only one way to find out.

... 1. How can you not like it? It isn't just Nintendo, it's Super Nintendo! 2. Super Nintendo is what Genesisn't! 3. There are some 3D games on the SNES too, you know, including the PAL-only Winter Gold! 4. BLASPHEMY! 5. Chrono Trigger. 'Nuff said. 6. You can't sell it before you've tried the SNES version of Doom! Don't you want to try out every version? 7. But worst of all, you're giving up your only chance to play Earthbound! |

Missing out on them already. Not bought a SNES game for... nearly two years. Thanks for your opinions, guys, but I've made up my mind. The SNES gets sold. If I get into SNES collecting at any point I'll track down a US SNES, that way I'll be able to play Mario RPG. |

I'm glad you have decided to completely agree with me.
That is precisely the reason I dislike Metal Gear Solid. It was made at a time when combining cinematics and games was relatively new, so kudos to it and to MGS2 for doing some interesting things. But it is certainly going about it the wrong way. Unfortunately it seems to be a very popular trend.
That's true, there have been some good ones. Half-life is absolutely genius -- and it is such because it integrates its narrative and the gameplay. It couldn't be converted to a movie, nor could it be a book. Most games seem content keep the two seperate, even with the most mundane details, such as the melee attacks in RE4 or the new Turok game. There is no reason that the player should not at all times be in control of something on the screen. That's what games do that isn't possible with anything else -- you can actually interact with them. That's a quality that really needs to be played up, but it seems like we're caught in this dedlock. Technology continually improves and it is possible to put interesting images on the screen, but 3D games are still as primitive as they were in 1996 in respect to their objectives. Another problem: We definitely need to get away from this franchise-mindset. There's a reason that serious art doesn't come up with stuff like Charles Dicken's Presents Bleak House IV -- the same book, but with a remixed story and an improved combat system (the combat in Bleak House is pretty lame -- I kill everything by spamming Jo's fever attack :blink:). |
