Buying one of them tomorrow.
Here's my 4 reasons why I wish I hadn't bought Elebits:

1) Opening doors is fucking frustrating. I'm forever jerkily wafting them before me, only for them to slam in my face the moment I try and get through.
2) It's fun for the first 4 rooms, then repetition gets in the way and makes you want to do something else
3) It's all time based. Hurry up! Do this before then! Fuck off.
4) I have to sit up straight and shit. I really don't have the energy for all that.

Oh well, it's better than Sonic at least. :D

Saw this earlier on the BBC news site:

Zelda game named 'greatest ever' - http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/6261546.stm

It's about Edge's top 100 games of all time, the top 10 of which are:

1. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
2. Resident Evil 4
3. Super Mario 64
4. Half Life 2
5. Super Mario World
6. Zelda: A Link to the Past
7. Halo: Combat Evolved
8. Final Fantasy XII
9. Tetris
10. Super Metroid

I thought you had your 360 back now man? What are you doing wafting your wand at doors on some tired old last-gen graphics console.

Crackdown co-op. Keys to the City. You know you want to :) At least until Animal Crossing Wii comes out anyway.

How it works is that you aim with the Wiimote and move the view with the analogue joystick on the Nunchaku. There is no dead zone in the cursor ala Red Steel or anything else that might be a problem. Works great. Everything else is basically the same control-wise. If the lack of strafing didn't bother you in the original RE4, you'll be good with this one too.
Arrr..that sounds lovely.

I'll probably get that after Murcury.

So, in the Edge top 100, Nintendo games come in at Numbers 1, 3, 5, 6 and 10.. Sounds about right.

Just bought Anno 1701 for Nintendo DS, what a nice little game! Haven't played it much yet, but you can compare it to a faithfull port of the Anno 1602 original for PC. Multiplayer too! :D

Graphics look the same to me, 'cept of course they're in widescreen.

Controls are excellent, there's no strafe which is a bit crap but the level design means there's no real need for it anyway so it quickly ceases to become an annoyance.

It's RE4 as before but with aimy pointy shooty. Headshot, headshot headshot! It's been a while since I played the GC one but this version seems a bit easier than I remember, presumably down to the better control interface.

Currently 7 hours in and am loving playing this all over again. Certainly a must buy for anyone who's never played this on any of the other platforms.

Indeed.

And yet I'm still pissed off because I think Twlight Princess should be there :p

Amen. Unfortunately it was the first Zelda I played and it beat LTTP into a cocked hat.

Just to jump in here, I'd say B&W (but that may be because it's the first version that I played - B&W just contributed to the atmosphere).

It's easily my favourite Zelda game too. :)

The DX version doesn't really add much tbh.
