Skull Commander

Depeche Mode are genius. Faith and devotion is very good, but my personal highlight from their expansive back catalogue is Ultra. Overlooked by many but a very solid album and even more remarkable given what had gone before it.

Just plain and simple shite mair like

When south park is good it's brilliant, but the quality control just isn't there. I like american dad a lot, but personally I have always favoured King of the Hill. It's far more laid back and like a 'proper' sitcom, but I find it very amusing.

I'v caved. Tomorrow (postal ineptitude notwithstanding), I should be in possesion of this game. Just in time for my 11 days off work. Back of the net!

Most amusing!! THere could be a regular thread on this theme. 'Farmyard Hairstyles'.

I can feel myself buckling. I'm so tempted to get this soon. The only problem is virtua fighter is out this week and that will proberly need my full investment of time...

Depeche Mode - Enjoy The Silence

I'm kinda tempted to pick this up on 360, but it will proberly be after the festive period. I'v got virtua fighter 5 and call of duty 4 on order and don't have too much spare cash flowing. With any luck I will get it a bit cheaper by then too.

Oh, yeah and to answer the first question they played Kef (or the works or whatever it was called in that era), and they also supported Mansun at the beach ballroom.

A classic band. They also released 'Subtitles' them there was a name change to 'Voy', a couple of singles then they split up. I'm sure i'v said this before on here, but a couple of members of the band went on to form 'Fridge Mountain Fires' who, to my knowledge, have not gigged outside Liverpool yet.

I'm not a massive FPS fan, but played the cod4 beta and loved it. I have a pre order in for it and can't wait. THe only two xbox360 games I'm planning to get on release before christmas is cod4 and virtua fighter 5 (which there is now a demo of).

Right went in to see this last night. The original is one of my favorite films, and I loved house of 100 Corpses and the devils rejects. With that out the way this film was bloody awful on many levels.

As a re- imagining it didn't work. The original told you more about Myers in it's first 10 mins than this film did in the first hour. Attempts to flesh out the character of Michael were clumsy and the whole drunken/abusive father angle was just a cop out.

The script was very bad and showed none of the flair that Zombie's previous movies had. On top of that the pacing was awful with the start and end seemingly lasting for an age, with hardly any middle.

The character of Laurie was painfully paper thin, and there was no development of her. There was some attempts to recreate some of the key scenes of the 70's version but they felt clumsy.

The only redeaming factors were a couple of good cameos and Malcolm McDowell who put in a very good performance despite the material.

I know, bastards. Waiting on an Ebay package consisting of BMX Simulator, Super Robin Hood, Outrun, 1st Division Manager and about a dozen others. 17 games for 16 inc. postage? That's in!

Hope that gets us back on track.

I used to have super robin hood for my c64. I believe it was in the 'Quattro' Budget packs you used to get by codemasters when every second game had the word 'simulator' tagged onto the end of it. I remember a couple of absolute corkers on that series of compilations. Ninja scooter, which was a side scrolling trick/avoid the obsticles game and ninja massacre which was an ace gauntlet clone. With ninjas.

as far as Im aware, this isnt a remake. its simply another Halloween movie.

Rob Zombie billed it as a "Re imagining" of the first film. I'm going to see it tonight so I'll give my impressions tomorrow.

I thought Annie Christian had split up. Been a while since I heard that name. Almost inspired to dig out their album. "Nothings Real" ALWAYS on first hour at ye olde monday night Mudd Club!

*edit* or "Love this Life"

I had 3 PS1's and 4 360's. THe 360 is the WORST built machine ever, bar none.

I always keep top notch care of my machines and the 4 360's were within 6 months.

going to sound like im being a cock, but im no.

ever heard of emulators?

Not a fan. I'd rather have the games the way they were. I collect so emulations not really an option for me.

I am a Nintendo man, but i love my dreamcast! Totally shit and awesome all at once! Wasnt it first console with online capability?

I'v done the whole seeling and buying back thing on multiple formats. Selling my snes from the first time around was my biggest regret, so much so that I now have a uk snes, us snes, jap snes and over 200 games for them just to make sure.

I can sympathise with you. I'm the master of 'console regret'. I once sold my dreamcast and a collection of around 40 top games. I now again own a dreamcast and over 80 games. When I see or trade in games I usually end up buying them again.

I'm a hoarding bastard and I wish I wasn't!

I enjoy 'psychobilly freakout' and the 'beast and the harlot' in guitar hero 2. THey are pretty rock hard on the high difficulties though.

i only jsut started playing guitar hero this weekend.

currently halfway through career on hard. im not looking forward to expert.

Just stick in and eventually you will get there! Once expert 'clicks' medium will seem very slow and easy.

......and while we are on the subject of guitar hero, number 3 is out in about a month or so.

Instead of spending hours and days learning how to play some retarded game, why not do something constructive like learn software development?

.....or even better piss loads of people off on 'Teh internet'

Still plenty tickets left?

i've played wario ware and wii sports, think they're both terrible 8-) each to his own though. thing is i don't get why the 'party console' marketing seems to work... seriously why have your friends come to play wii bowling rather than actually just go bowling?

that said i don't think the 360s that great either or at least xbox live isn't (and i prefer online to 1 player games), i sold mine

I personally think their is space for the 360 and the wii. I own both, but as a multiplayer console (not online), the 360 just doesn't cut it. The online multiplayer is amazing but there is a serious lack of games for 'games nites'.

The wii on the other hand is great both in single and multiplayer. Watching a room full of people play wario ware on the wii is perhaps the most amusing video games experience ever.

Each to their own and all that, but the wii has done more to forward the acceptability of video gaming to the mainstream in the last year than any other company, and in my eyes that is a very good thing.

If all this hype about the Wii being a party machine and everything, then they go and release the same stuff on a PS2, you can whinge about buying the controllers with the game, but really, its cheaper than buying a new console, then the various add-ons they're going to get.

What else is there on the Wii except for Zelda and Mario Galaxies or whatever its called?

Really, I just think the 360 is the only console thats worth it.

Out now:

Wario Ware

Excite truck

Wii sports

Resident evil 4

Kornicopia

Coming soon:

Smash Brothers

Paper Mario

Wii fit

Mario Kart

Metroid

and thats just what springs to mind at the moment. It's the games that make the difference.
