Hmm, but what tunes to dive to? I'm thinking Ice-T: Original Gangster
S'up nigger. That biatch Flipper comes near me again I'm gonna pop a cap in his ass.
That is how fishermen talk isn't it?

Come to Redcar beach one weekend with me. I'm sure it's accurate.

An Italian mag has given Super Mario Galaxy a rather whopping 11/10 -

IIRC it was Amiga Computing that did a similar thing for (I think) Xenon 2. They'd given a previous shooter a perfect score and the game they were reviewing was so clearly better that they had to give it a better score.

Never, ever give a perfect score. For anything.

That dosnt work.
Because that then makes, say 9/10 the "new" perfect. (as you never give higher then that, how can you express a better game?). Same problem as before.

Some games just raise the bar.

This all goes back the the flaw in the rateing system, but we all know my views on that so I'll stop now

Well marks out fo ten and whole numbers only are a bad idea as there is so little room to breathe. Now the ACE PIC ...

10/10 merely indicates full use of the scale rather than perfection.

Endless Ocean is pretty good. It's like Pokemon with fish touching. There are some interesting areas to explore too.

Does anyone know how to get into the last room in the ruins with the whale shark? I've done the bit with the dolphins and filled the room full of water but the next room along that pushes you back out with the current eludes me.

Just out of interest, does anyone else who plays PC Engine/Turbo Grafx VC games find that the filtering is really bad? It makes the graphics look very blurred compared to the beautifully pixel sharp visuals that could be seen on the original console (via RGB).

The VC does filtering at all? I thought it was all just pixal-resize.

True, but still has the fundimental "what if a better game comes out next week" problem.

Random question;

I went back to Hyrule this week to finnish the game of fully, I have almost everything, except for 1 heart piece.
Its really frecking annoying me as I cant find it anywhere, and i want my even 20 god-darn-it!

The forttune teller girl says its here;

Anyone remember where there was/how to get there?[/img]

All of a sudden you've gained my interest. Where is that bloody location? I thought it was the arbiters grounds temple but its bloody not.

Nope, it does filter (badly too in my opinion). It's even been acknowledged by a Hudson rep on the Hudson forum:
