Idiot definately is a bit strong. I called someone an idiot outside the pub last night and the guy attacked me. And then again on the way home. The anomnity of the internet has me ruined!

Of course it's mostly that he has a chip on his sholder about something. Shortly after I returned to my apartment (the pub is like 2 minutes away and the thug lives above me) a group of lads threw a large rock through his window, he started chucking bottles out the window at them and now he's getting evicted.

Still. Long story short. I must stop calling people idiots.

Bloody hell, Resistance is a bit of an anti-climax isn't it? One of our Q+A brought it in, noting impressive there, the lighting looks a bit flat and what the hell were the texture artists on??!?? Some of those housebricks are giant sized! All in all a bit dissapointing.

Virtua Fighter 5 on the other hand had me drooling, lovely, especially some of those water effects.

And VF is the fighter for real men, none of that button bashing Tekken shite.

Resistance vs God Hand. Gorgeous and generic vs nearly first-gen PS2 visuals and sheer damn godly. I know which one I'll take every time.

Medusa, Minotaurs, Harpies, the Hydra, it's all there. Brace yourself for some platform sections that'll have you seething and crying though.

You forgot to tell me that after 5 minutes of good healthy killing it was going to ask me to push a smashable crate around in a fucking futile attempt to get it to the other end of the deck.

What the fucking fuck were those idiots smoking when they designed this? I hope this isn't an example of what I've got to look forward to.

There's not too much of that, I think the one at the beginning is the only time you'll see it. You'll get nostalgic for that section when you hit the platform levels

Enjoy the first boss.

I don't plan to. I've been sat there trying and trying and trying to get that crate to the other end without managing it. No matter how I kick and dodge stray arrows *always* manage to destroy the crate. Arseholes to it. I'm going to trade it in for Excite Truck in the morning. No game is worth that much frustration.

It's a shame because the bits with actual fighting are really nice too.

HG : It takes a while, but get a couple of huge kicks in there and it's done. It's worth it

Giving up on GoW is a mortal sin. Purgatory awaits you HGFB!

Some people just give up too soon.
I got annoyed with Zelda:Twilight Princess's fishing at the start, and was stuck for over an hour.
Once someone finaly released I had to LOOK for the line to go tight and pull up sharply, rather then waiting for a message, I did it easy and enjoyed every last moment of the rest of the game. (which was a good 65 more hours and Im still enjoying extea bits)

Sometimes you can miss out on great things if you dont just wait a few moments more.

In the case of God of War, then giving up soon is saving you a whole world of pain later on. A wonderful game, wrapped in misery and despair. So much frustration on the fucking platformy bits made me want to stab stuff.

Oh, and Zelda Fishing is awesome isn't it - finally got my Wii back corruption free (which was super noticeable while fishing) and enjoying Lure fishing even more now

Cheers

I don't remember it that hard.

The ship part where you walk on the masts gave me some trouble but served to get me used to the platforming vibes.

I say that anybody must play until the first boss before giving up. If they are not jaw-to-floor impressed then there is no hope for them.

I'm very impressed by the game. Apart from that sodding crate bit. If they'd made the crate indestructable it would have been a simple 1 minutes puzzle and then back to the slaughter. Instead they've made something that has me cursing enough to actually discard it.

Now Excite Truck on the other hand...

.. is a half decent racing game and countless imitations will appear on the Wii over the course of time.

God of War on the other hand is the best game of its genre out there. Until GoWII.
