I love games. Some highlights I heard today - 1. A new pacman is coming to gamecube. One person controls pacman through the GB Advance and three others control the ghosts with gamecube controllers. Sounds like so much fun. 2. Sony is entering the handheld market next year. PSP Specifications: * Platform name: PSP(TM) * Display: Wide screen (16:9) TFT LCD with backlight (480 x 272 dots) * Disc medium: "UMD" 60mm optical secured ROM disc with cartridge (1.8GB) * Video CODEC: MPEG4 * Graphics: 3D Polygon/NURBS * Sound: PCM (built-in stereo speakers, stereo headphone output) * I/O: USB 2.0, Memory Stick(TM) slot * Battery: Rechargeable (lithium-ion) |

I love games too, but many new games are not fun, then people who make games make equally unfun games to compete. I'm particularly interested in making some myself some day. |

Sorry, you are interested in making some people who make games some day? |

Arg.. I hope Nintendo can pull their act together and get back on top. It'd be a crying shame to see them reduced to developer-only status i.e. Sega.. Like putting the king in the kitchen. I truly believe 'Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker' is one of the 10 best games of ALL time and I would, without regret, spend $200 on a Gamecube if that were the only disc it was capable of running. Believe me folks. I heard a few slim details about the new Pacman game. Seems Miyamoto himself is drawing up the plans with Namco.. Speaking of, the few screenshots I saw of the new Starfox game look excellent. I expect no less from such a radiant series.. It's too bad Rare won't be leaving their pawprints across this one. Speaking of, has anyone seen or read anything on their debut Xbox game 'Kameo'? The video previews I watched were pretty unimpressive.. Lots of visual flair but nothing that really grabbed me. What's it about anyway? Is it an RPG? Speaking of, 'Fable' looks PHENOMENAL. I hope E3 goers are treated to some lovely trailers and juicy tidbits of previously unreleased footage. Psychonauts also looks awesome - For those unfamilar with the title, Psychonauts is Tim Schafer's(of Grim Fandango and Day of the Tentacle fame) first shot at console gaming. Look up some of the previews if you're interested; there should be some new ones rolling out relatively soon. |

Woohoo! Speaking of, it looks like Sam & Max are officially hitting the road again: http://www.gamespot.com/pc/adventure/samandmaxfreelancepoli ce/news_6027256.html I remember when those realtime screenshots were but a distant dream in the head of a young boy.. Now that dream has been made real. Gosh-golly, technology sure is a'leapin and a'boundin! |

I'm an old-schooler... there's some gems coming out nowadays, but my heart will always be in the pre-Playstation daze. And I'm a Nintendo fanboy... they've NEVER disapointed me with their games, even Mario Sunshine, and I'll go to war for them. I would have gone to war for Sega, too. I would have died. |

Woohoo! Max Payne 2 : http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/maxpayne2/news_6027039.ht ml Now that the"bullet time" feature is commonplace, they had better come up with a pretty stellar gimmick for the sequel(I loved the first game, especially the dialogue - I think most of the reviewers missed the fact that it was >intended< to be exaggerated tongue-in-cheek). |

Yeah, I've got Max Payne for PS2... other than the dual analog controls, the game is delicious, and I'll NEVER forget some of his lines as long as I live. That puts it in a special category with Earthbound and... that's about it. MAYBE Super Mario Bros, since ''the princess is in another castle'' is the only line, and it's a doozie. |
||||||||

|

I like the new avatar by the way. "The best ruler is but a shadowy presence to his subjects" Excellent. When did you originally play Earthbound anyway? Are you SURE it will be as good for me as it was for you? Does it stand the test of time? |

I rented it for a week on a whim (there was nothing else in), the pics on the box didn't impress me. After 20 minutes though, I decided I had to own it, now, so I went out and bought it and had TWO copies of it in my house for a week. Imagine! As soon as the ''name your character'' screen pops up and you're prompted to name your favorite food (I inputed ''crap'', being the clever 12 year old I was at the time), you know you're know you're playing something special. PS- when they prompted me to name my favorite thing, I said ''sex''. So for the rest of the game, my mom would bake some fresh ''crap'' to restore my health, and my special attack was ''Sex''. I'm smiling just thinking about it. They also reference the Beatles several times in it... I mean, come on... that's some hip script writing. You'll love it. |

The game isn't just style and wit and fun though, there's tons substance... you can only carry x amount of items, strategy comes into play in that area, and the battles are fun and the game can be difficult. The desert mine is so fucking hard. I was in tears. Only the best games can make me cry. FUCK YES it holds up, better than any other game to me other than Chrono Trigger. There's jokes and allusions in the game that I might not have gotten when I was younger, but I get them now. |

''you know you're know you're playing '' What the fuck was I thinking? |

I'll take your word for it. Somehow... I know you won't let me down. The GBA port is going to contain both the second one and the original - which you never played, correct? I think the new one is being made for Gamecube. Or maybe it's coming to the Gameboy.. Arg, I can't remember. You can't expect me to be looks AND brains all the time you know! |

I have the NES original (''Mother'') and it's fantastic, but I haven't gotten far into it or anything... just like its big bro, it's sooooo far ahead of the NES pack, intellectually. I'm buying a GBA just for that release. And then I'll get my revenge on Li'l UFO. |

I'm glad they're coming bundled. I'd wouldn't dare play a sequel without first completing the original.. That shit's some serious taboo. My birthday is this friday and I should be bathing in $5 checks by then.. Maybe I'll cash them in and buy myself some new toys. Speaking of, the dork shop is hiring and they're really pushing for me to put in an application... I think we could exist together in a symbiotic relationship. Besides, it's a chain operated business which, assuming I do well, could give me a few additional options when I make the move to the big city. |

Anyway, if I do take the job, you should come to E3 with me next year. Think about it: World exclusives on everything videogame related, truckloads of free souvenirs, demos, plush dolls, etc., mammory endowed females promoting stupid shit no one will ever play, fat guys with bullcuts speaking Klingon, the one bed hotel room we'll share..! Two days of hedonism and ecstacy beckon young Jayworth. Anyway, you think it over big boy. Don't worry about your social aversion either, I guarantee you 90% of the attending audience has much less going for them than you. |

I put a resume into ''Gameworld''... kind of an Eastern Canadian Electronics Boutique, only lamer... but still, I get to play Games for 7.9 hours a day, and spend the other .1 waiting on pizza faced broken-voiced geeks. Everytime I go in there, the 35 year old Star Wars geek that works there is playing Halo, and I have to kick the desk to get his attention. That could be ME, only instead of playing Halo, I could be playing... Zelda! Very little customers there at any given time, these fuckers just play games. Goodness, I'd love it. Go for that job, give them that ''look'' and you're got it in the bag. I'll get you something good for your birthday, don't get your panties in a bundle. An e-card or something, just for you. |

"you're got it in the bag" What the fuck is that supposed to mean you worthless dipshit? 'll get you something good for your birthday, don't get your panties in a bundle." Awww.. No e-card though, my browser won't be able to handle it. The last 4 I've gotten have all crashed my computer. Just make whatever it is heartfelt and I'm your's forever. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

E-Cards are too much to handle? Geez... Oh well, I'll think of something sugary sweet. What I'd do in your situation is save the money you're using on Gameboy Advance games and stuff and buy a computer that isn't an ass-goblin... you'd still get to play the games on emus... granted, the real thing is better, but life is full of sacrifices. But I'm not here to lecture you or tell you how to run your life. |

Why don't you post this e-card on the board for the whole world to see? If you reeeally cared about me... I'm working on the computer thing. Well, not really, but I've been seriously thinking about working on it for the past 3 years which is sort of like the little cousin to actually working on it. I guess I'll just have to see how things turn out.. I'll tell you one thing though: computer definately comes before vehicle. So much more to offer.. So much less to lose. When's the last time you wacked it(comfortably) under the dashboard of your car? Or hit three keys to fix the results of a nasty crash? Needest I go on? |

The new Castlevania looks promising, but I only saw some screens and a horribly shot video. Konami is really showing a lot of cool games. I'm waiting to hear about SNK VS. Capcom: Chaos, this game could be insane. Mario golf is looking great but it hasn't been said if the RPG elements will be included. No huge news I've heard today, but both Xbox and Playstation cut their prices by 20 bucks or so. No they're 179.99. |

Oh how i wish i could be there at the E3... heaven of earth i bet. Anyway, i'm just reading here that there is going to be a Paper Mario 2 on the Gamecube! Hallelujah! This is fantastic news :-) Paper Mario was one of the best games i ever played on my N64... i would kill to be able to experience another adventure in that style. I really hope they keep the paper and cardboard-style graphics as well this time! With the Gamecube's powers it could look even better! Oh my! |
||||||||

I'm looking forward to: -Legend of Zelda - (GC) -Metroid 2 (GC) -Mario 128 (GC) -A whole lot of others including Resident Evil 4 (all going to be fully rendered in realtime and looks just as good as 0), Crystal Chronicals, Star Fox 2 (finally!) Viewtiful Joe, and Mario Kart... there are way too many to keep track of. I've not heard anything new about Mario 128 though. Has anyone else? |

Nintendo also anounced a new game called "geist". It all looks very unlike any other nintendo-title. A first person shooter, dark realistic graphics, you play as a ghost who can take over the bodies of other people. I'm not sure what to expect... but it could be interesting i guess. For GBA there's a game coming out called "mario & luigi". Yet another rpg (looks alot like zelda) starring Mario and Luigi It appears you get to control them both at the same time. It looks very nice, and i'm sure it will be great... but why oh why isn't nintendo working on a proper new 2d mario-adventure for the GBA?! Which is obviously what the entire world is waiting for (isn't it?). |

"Has anyone else?" No i'm surprised to say i haven't heard anything from this game after the initial announcement :-( |

geist? never heard of that one. you guys cant forget Rogue Squadron 3 and Wario World(could be bad or awesome, not sure about this one). any shots of metroid 2 or just info about it? My god paper mario2! are you sure about that George? I hope so. |

just noticed that line "it's time to kick ass and chew bubblegum, and I'm all outta bubblegum" in Carpenter's "they live". That movie looks fit to be turned into a fun FPS shooter imo. |

I know cabbog, hence the ":P" however I still keep my hopes up for a surprise appearance of the game at some point in the future :D that one updated bink video trailer I had looked awesome, and that was a year ago |

Oomf. I hope it doesn't relate to the first one at all as I've still yet to play it. The Nintendo titles I'm most looking forward to right now are Star Fox II, Pikmin 2, and Mario Kart. And Crystal Chronicles. And F-Zero. |

"are you sure about that George? I hope so." Well, the dutch site i read it on said that this has been confirmed by Nintendo themselves :-) Not just a remake of the original, but a completely new adventure! I cannot wait! I also just finished watching a short movie of Kirby Airride... i think i'm starting to look more forward to this than to mariokart! Graphics are a little simplistic, but it looks FUN! Right now i'm still playing the WindWaker. Just completed the 4th temple (in one sitting... very easy temple, but extremely enjoyable nevertheless!). I demand that nintendo release another zelda adventure with this gameplay and these graphics! |

2 days ago i also bought Eternal Darkness, as it was extremely cheap. Haven't played it yet, but i hope it will be fun. Most reviewers seem to agree it has a really deep and interesting storyline, usually i like games with those :-) |
