Yeah last week, playing through again on hard now. Definitely had its good moments I thought.gravy wrote:You finished Resistance yet?GeeZa wrote:You obviously haven't compared it to the PS3's browser then.

I'd imagine at 720p / 1080p it's quite a bit easier...

No, not really. I was disappointed with the game very quickly but having just spent £200 on a wii and the game I gave it a few days to change my mind. I did enjoy watch my gf play the boxing game but that just got scary, I also had a great time making miis of my friends and family but that has nothing to do with wiisports.Darkflame wrote:So you enjoyed it at first then?flookster wrote:Sums up my experience of wiisports precisely. So yeah to me it was a novelty, a flawed one at that.Darkflame wrote: You didnt like WiiSports straight away..that just means you didnt like it.
A novalty would be something you play intensively at first, and then quickly go off.

Doesn't "B plus minus" take you back? I probably just imagined that.ThetaReactor wrote:I have but one big issue with Wii Opera. I have to pop up the menu bar to go back. This is fucking Opera. How can they build a browser for the Wii and not have gestures? How hard would a "hold A+B and flick left" option be?
Nixie - dunno about Settlers II comparisons, I've not played it.
Brothers In Arms is good so far, controls are a bit fiddly but nothing gamebreaking. Very impressive visuals, but not really the kind of game I bought the DS for.
Planet Puzzle League is fantastic - just had a couple of wireless games on the sofa, had my ass kicked of course but really enjoyed it. It's classic Panel de Pon but with snazzy skins and super slick presentation. Loving this, actually. Trailer:

Haven't looked at any of my other consoles since I got the DS.
Yeah that was a real letdown, so bad that I resented the time it took to transfer the Rom to my SD card. On the evidence of that, they'll most likely balls up California Games too, for shame.Deckard wrote:Au revoir life rather than play the crud that is Mission Impossible DS

It's an amazing machine. The design makes you want to play it. Try and find Magnetica and Trauma Centre, you might like those. Or you might not.Rod_S wrote:Haven't looked at any of my other consoles since I got the DS.
I'm currently compiling and play-testing a top 25 list of Amstrad roms for all the R4 owners out there. I may well be the only person interested but it's coming anyway. Like it or not.
Yes it does, you're bang-on there. There's just something so right about the feel and form factor, it compels you to pick it up and use it. Somehow even the Speccy games feel strangley modern - I'm actually playing Spectrum games seriously for the first time since the 80's, rather than out of retro nostalgia. Been playing a superb Arkanoid clone called Batty, looks amazing and plays beautifully - better than the official Speccy Arkanoid.GeeZa wrote: It's an amazing machine.

Yeah got both of those, I'm trying pretty much everything. Yarrrr.GeeZa wrote:Try and find Magnetica and Trauma Centre, you might like those. Or you might not.
Good stuff, if sir would be hosting a zip archive of said Roms, I'm sure his avid readers would appreciate it.GeeZa wrote:I'm currently compiling and play-testing a top 25 list of Amstrad roms for all the R4 owners out there.

Magnetica is bloody glorious. A perfect example of how to completely re-invigorate a game simply by changing the control system.GeeZa wrote:Try and find Magnetica and Trauma Centre, you might like those. Or you might not.
And Rod, if you haven't tried Slitherlink yet than that's an absolute must. But be careful, it's become only the second game (after Advance Wars) that I've actually had to ration myself on. I'm banned from playing after ten o'clock at night otherwise all I can see is grids and crosses and lines and numbers every time I close my eyes. It got to the point where it was costing me hours of sleep a night and the first thing that I would think of when I woke up in the morning would be "so if I have a three round that one that blocks off that route and it can't turn right or it'll make a loop so it must go on which means that it has to join up with that section so the other end can't go below that two other wise it'll be a dead end so it has to go above it and then there's a one so it has to go round that and......AAAAARRRRG!"
