Skull Commander

Good dreamcast games that won't bankrupt you:

Crazy Taxi

Virtua Tennis

MSR (the first 'project gotham racing')

Capcom vs Snk

Typing of the Dead (never released in the uk)

Dynamite Cop

House of the Dead 2 (best with a lightgun)

Zombie Revenge

Powerstone 2

Jet Set Radio

Soul Calibur

Space Channel 5

None of the above should cost you much more than a tenner tops, with most being around 5. I would reccomend getting yourself a boot disc to play import games, as often you can get them pretty cheap of ebay.

The dreamcast as a true classic machine and some of the best sega arcade conversions are available on it. Enjoy it!

SNES. No competition. The golden age of video games and still looks and plays like a dream today. Hosts some of the best games ever made including Marioworld, Street Fighter 2, Zelda, Mariokart, f zero, pilotwings, Area 88, Super Ghouls n Ghosts, and Super Castlevania.

It basicly invented the modern controller with its button layout and shoulder buttons, and I still play mine on a regular basis. It's as near to a perfect console as I can imagine.

*EDIT* Post above me wasn't here when I posted this one. Great minds and all that.....

They should be signed for but my postie just shoved them through the letterbox.

Think someone said there's only La Bamba and Chiquitos for Mexican food in Aberdeen but there's Pancho Villa's on Bon Accord Street too, although I've heard mixed reviews.

Has pancho villas not been closed for ages now? I had a couple of lunches there and it was pretty good, but everytime I have been past it over the last few months it looks like there is nothing there anymore.

As if my magic my tickets were delivered today.

They came with a note from ticketmaster saying that if your tickets have not arrived by the end of the 15th of January, then they have been put on ebay and will be sold to the highest bidder.*

*This part may be made up

Nowt from me either. I only hope this is because Corgan is personally writing every ticket up himself and will be signed by him when they arrive ;-)

It is hard to get excited about crap 'facts' such as "Most popular XBox Live demo" and "Highest score for Sonic 2".

Seems worth picking up if you are a casual gamer, but all of these things can be found on wikis.

I think it's a nice idea for a 'coffee table' book. You can find almost anything on the net, but I'd rather read a book or graphic novel than have to download a PDF and read it on my PC.

Hmmm. Was looking forward to this, but if you go into the preview on the site and turn to the mario page, the top proclaims the 'fact' that marioworld on the snes is the biggest seeling 32 bit game of all time. Except it was 16 bit. I hope this lack of proof reading is just on the preview and doesn't extend to the end product.

i've felt pretty humiliated on the xbox quite a few times. not least when we did that aberdeen-music halo night. i sucked.

we should do a cod4 night and show them how it's really done.

I'd be in for that. I play it most nights at the moment. Thats when Xbox live isn't playing silly buggers.....

Was diappointed with...

• Gears of War (PS3)
  

In what sense? That it doesn't exist??

Are you on crack? Smooth Moves was utter tosh.

Nah nah laddie. It was the funniest most entertaining game I played all of last year. I agree it's not for everyone, but for me Warioware is worth 30 generic fps games any day of the week.

Since there is one for music here is the games version:

1. Call of Duty 4 (360)

2. Wario Ware Smooth Moves (Wii)

3. Virtua Fighter 5 (360)

4. Excitetruck (Wii)

5. Puzzle Quest (DS)

6. God Hand (PS2)

7. Earth Defense Force 2017 (360)

8. Crackdown (360)

9. Guitar Hero 3 (PS2)

10. King Of The Fighters XI (PS2)

Top Ten of the Year in order:

1. Smashing Pumpkins - Zeitgeist

2. Tomahawk - Anonymous

3. Korn - Untitled

4. Devildriver - The Last Kind Words

5. Dave Gahan - Hourglass

6. Paul Hartnoll - The Ideal Condition

7. Still Remains - The Serpent

8. Him - Venus Doom

9. Dimmu Borgir - In Sorti Diaboli

10. The Wildhearts - Untitled

The captain is a legend. I can recommend Trout Mask Replica, if only for the cover of the album!

So when are we getting another Ab - Music Halofest going, i really enjoyed the last one!!

Add me in for the next one, as long as it's past Christmas day, as Halo 3 is under the tree!!

Please look out for the fully functional version of Sensible World of Soccer soon. We thank you for your patience.

YEEK

Long shot but if anyone has any extra for sale please let me know

Worst I saw was Halloween. An absolute raping of my favorite film by one of my favorite artists. Consider me pissed off.

I'm on this as of ladt night. Feel free to add 'Skull Commander' for some decent games

I'm pretty sure it was men and motors or bravo I saw it on recently. Try around supper time (4-7ish?) I maybe wrong about the time but I'm pretty confident it was one of those channels.

Wait till you unlock dragonforce........

so, who is still playing? how far have you got?

I finished medium no bother and have made inroads into expert. I seem to have lost some of my touch on it though. I could do the first one on all levels but think im a bit out of practise!

Don't know if anyone else would be interested in this, but how about a sub forum where an older album is discussed in depth for a pre determined amount of time.

I have seen similar ideas on videogames forums, where we all replay an overlooked classic and discuss it within a month. A bit like a book group really.

Maybe there could be a shortlist of albums every two weeks and we could have a poll to decide or something along that lines.....

*EDIT* We could have different genres on rotation so everyone gets a chance to contribute, no matter what their musical preference.

Absolutely tragic news. I loved the lemon tree. Without a doubt my favorite venue in Aberdeen. So many good gigs there in the past:

Rocket From the Crypt

Therapy

Backyard Babies

Annie Christian

Bullyrag

Feeder

Ash

Terrorvision

Paradise Lost

Psycore + Will Haven + Tura Satana

Finch

Alabama 3

One Minute Silence

Frank Black

...and many more that escape me at the moment. Admittedly there had been nothing lately, but surely some of that must come from the promoters rather than the venue. A real shame and a bad loss for Aberdeen.

Interesting thing about tonight was that Snafu only took twenty pounds worth of credit card sales and it was really busy. Make your own conclusions from that.

Ian Brown fans are on the whole are debt free and like to pay cash??????
