The first one's bosses were fine.

Not for me they weren't. They were the main reason I turned it off in disgust, too.

Is anybody else rocking out with Guitar Hero 3? It;s my first go at the franchise and so far, I'm loving it. So does the wife.

As for Zack and Wiki, it has replaced any sort of TV viewing we were doing. A puzzle lasts about as long as any given sitcom or what-have-you and it's much more entertaining. We are surprised at the difficulty of the puzzles, though. A five star difficulty takes about 3/4 of an hour. I can't wait to see a ten star puzzle!

I have to say that the bosses in Hunters were annoying enough to stop me playing that - especially with the countdown that follows their defeat. I'll probably give MP3 a miss as well - with GH3 and UR MR GAY coming up soon, I need to save money, anway.

Not many spoilers really (almost certainly nothing you won't already be aware of) - it's more about the development process behind the game. There are some links to videos... but as I didn't follow them I don't know how spoilerific they might be.

Super mario galaxy has been released on the net 3 weeks before its official release.
Nintendo have put some kind of patch in so that it does not work with modchips if backed up.

Although from what i have heard a couple of the modchip teams have got around this.
People should buy this game it looks worth it

Sorry to pick up on this, but this wasn't the case at all. The first thing which requires you to activate a button (the radio encryption) was straight forward, there was a red flashing highlight over the otherwise completely nonsensical (from someone who hasn't played the series) radio controls, and an arrow pointing to where they were in relation to your view. To then just tell you to "use the thrusters" wasn't very helpful, akin to asking someone to jump without actually telling them which button does it. Cue several minutes of frustraitingly poking everything in the cockpit (and finding the shielding (I presume) and lifesigns scanner.

If a large part of MP3's puzzles come from obscuring things from the player then I can't see myself getting along with it - would it have killed them to highlight the thrusters?!

Cheers

There's only a handful of buttons in the cockpit, it shouldn't take 30 seconds to go through all of them even if you are unfortunate enough not to spot the arsing great button that releases the thrusters in the first place. Really liking the MP3 bosses so far, but then I loved the ones in MP and MP2 (except for the emperor Ing - he was a twat). I dunno, in my day.. *mumble*

Playing a ripped version of Mario Galaxy should be punished by hanging

However, rumour has it that this might be about to change. No, the complete Orange Box set wonâ€™t be on its way to the console, but the packageâ€™s brilliant little first-person puzzle-platformer Portal could be.

Game Guru 101 reports that the head honchos at developer Valve are currently contemplating briging Portal to the Nintendo Wii, complete with brand new levels and to take advantage of the machineâ€™s motion sensing control.

The game consists primarily of a series of puzzles which must be solved by teleporting the playerâ€™s character and other simple objects using the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device. The goal of each puzzle is to reach an exit point. The â€œportal gunâ€ and the unusual physics it creates are the emphasis of this game.

Portal has been a surprise hit with Half-Life fans and has heaped with much positive critical reception.

Weâ€™ll bring you more on this rumour as and when/if it develops

Not a suprise, surely?

Hopefully it will have a heap more content added if they are going to sell it solo on the Wii. It's fun but way too short from what I've heard. Can finish it in an hour or two from installing?

I wouldn't say I'm 'rocking out' as I'm so abysmal.. but I guess I'm having fun. Haven't even beaten the first song on easy yet though. Ugh.. hard to train myself in an all new control method.
