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.
:D

I don't like Crackdown (sorry lads!) I laughed when it said 'Civilians are a barely tolerable nuisance', but was dissapointed at the following lack of similar Orwellian humour. Other barely tolerable nuisances were the music and what I felt was a lack of city character. Loving EDF and Pacman CE though :)
Oh tis my delight on a shining night

The DX version doesn't really add much tbh.
Dosnt take away anything though, so Id go for the DX version.

Basicaly, its just a small extra dungoen, colour, and some collectable photos. (to be used with the gameboy printer ;) )

But still, nothings lost as far as I know.

And yes, it was my first Zelda as well.
Fantastic thing.

Does rather.
I do hope still for a "hardcore" controll set up though, none of this bounding box nonsense.

I lose track of the Wii bashing...wasnt people saying Bowling was too easy? hmz..

The control system I want is for the gun to be aimed precisely like duck-hunt, with the camera controlled by the rotational velocity of the nun chuck.
So you can, effectively, run in one direction, while turning you head and shooting at any point on the screen.

GamePro: Will Metroid Prime 3 have any online modes?

Michael Kelbeugh: No. It's something we talked about early on, but we only have so many resources. We opted to devote those resources to making a better single-player experience.
Are you listening Bungie? ARE YOU?

Bungie have stated recently that the dev team for Halo3 is split 5 to 1 in favour of the single player this time...

Wasted opportunity to fuck it up and waste resources, yes :lol:

Nintendo should make a decent sequal to Giest, its multiplayer was no worse then MP2's, and overall the game suits it mor ,imo.

http://uk.ds.ign.com/articles/800/800251p1.html - hooray.

And anyone got the Wii's Resident ? Any good, do the graphics look any better thru component and hows the controls as might buy it tomorrow.
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.
Just completed this... It's also a must buy even if you've played it before!

What a absolutely tremendous game, I forgot how good this game was. Made all the better too with the Wiimote-gun.

Just unlocked :
  • Professional mode
  • Seperate ways
  • Operation Ada
  • The Mercenaries
Not sure if those were in the GC/PS2 versions or not, I think Mercenaries might have been GC.

Seriously? Have you done nothing else all day? Or is it incredibly short / easy? I don't mind short(ish) games, as long as they're good enough but that seems extreme!
Is this going to take long, only my foot's gone to sleep and I'd like to catch it up.
