Skull Commander

I wanted a space colony with loads of planets to explore. Not the same old GTA, and even though this trailer shows nowt gameplay, it suggests that at least the setting is going to be familiar to many who have played previos installments of the series.

I remember that happening! Class! Heres another: Faith No More - Ricochet, straight into Rage Against The Machine - Killing in the Name Of.

I think I must be the only person that thought 'With Teeth' was better than 'The Fragile'.

It doesn't matter if it's britpop era or nu-metal era. The music was the bloody same all the time!

I'm curious with all this talk of Mudd reunion. As someone else said there is the problem of the vast majority of the Mudd's old customers proberly not having tuesday off, but if you could include the following I may be tempted: Woodpecker Cider for 'a poun' Nine inch nails - head like a hole Nobody on the danceflooor for 'Cecil redwine at deadtime' at about 10.15pm Star Wars music right at the start of the evening Bashed up sofas positioned around the venue Ska/punk section halfway through the evening with amusing 'chicken dance' punks in the centre for the duration of the madness/capdown/china drum wuthering heights cover Long trek to the toilets up unreasonably steep when drunk stairs Every musical request to be written down then ignored Do we have a deal?

The campaign to bring Frank Sidebottom to the Tunnels starts here! With or without Suitcase we will get him.....

Nope. Your the only person in the whole of the U.K. that wanted a ticket.

....and re-manufacture. I enjoyed obsolete as well, and half the album after that (name escapes me at the moment) The last two albums were pretty shit though. BRING BACK DINO!

Although some retailers dropped the prices and created value bundles, there has not been an official price drop from microsoft as of yet.

Aye, it seems microsoft are keen to push up the prices on the 360 (see 'Elite' thread). I'm not too sure what their thinking is. Shouldn't they be trying to be more competitive in their prices, rather than making present owners feel they have to buy more bits and bobs to keep up with the PS3?

Good bargain hunting folks! Snapped up some goodies. Thanks.

Where you getting this from? I'v looked at all my usual sources and can't find a thing. Surely Sony wouldn't announce this 5 days after launch?

You havn't looked at your PS2 pile since launch?? Thats..oooohhh... 5 days? Just wait till the summer games drought and you want to play some PS2 games........

My advice would be to read the other PS3 thread thats kicking about here, take a look at IGN.com: Games, Cheats, Movies and More and any other video game sites, see what games suit you the most and go for it. The PS3 will not show it's true colours until at least christmas, so if you can hold off your purchase for a fairer comparism, then do so.

My copy should be with me tomorrow. I heard the opener already and it's amazing.

Aye. You even quoted me on it. Proof indeed!

This thread is class!

"To have the best experience when playing your PlayStation2 titles, we recommend that: You avoid the use of "60Hz" and network modes (which may experience noticeable graphical corruption not present in the main game) You should skip optional FMV sequences (a small number of games have graphical corruption in one or more video sequences)." Aye right. So skip the intros, miss half the story and don't play it in 60 hz mode. So you have not a big fancy hd tele and you have to play it in bordered 50hz mode. Thats just shit. Also Notable by there non showing on the list Amplitude Parrapa 2 Gradius IV Brand new godhand 'Should play with noticable issues'. Thats just sloppy. I could go on but I can't be bothered. If companies cannot be arsed to support backwards compatibility why on earth do they include it in the first place?

In my experience Sony reps are the most ill informed, and thats gaming and mobile phone reps that I have dealt with in the past.

Ripper! Modern cartoonies! Anyone know if they still taste the same?

I will end up with all three eventually. At the moment I have the 360 and Wii. The 360 doesn't get much use at the moment thanks to a glut of identikit shooters and gta clones. The only thing keeping it alive for me is the xbox live arcade, with the old turtles arcade game out last week and Castlevania S.O.T.N. out tomorrow. In the future the 360 will strengthen with more varied games on the horizon such as the new one from bioware (name escapes me at the moment), the new resident evil, virtua fighter 5, and devil may cry 4. The Wii is a good machine and comes into its own with groups of people round for the mutiplayer. Having said that there are some great one player games for it like excitetruck, zelda and a whole pile of pc engine, megadrive, snes, nes and n64 stuff on the virtual console. Also nintendo is the ONLY one of the 3 companies to get backwards compatibility 100% sorted, with all cube games, pads and memory cards working on the Wii. The PS3 I want to like, but all I'v seen so far suggests I'd be better waiting for: a) a massive price drop b)better software c)a settling in period since it seems to be comparitivly bombing in traditional sony strongholds. I also dispise the arrogence that Sony has displayed towards it's European customers with the late arrival of the console, followed by the shutting down of importers who were mearly selling the ps3 when sony SHOULD have released it in these terrotories. The price should be cheaper given that Japan has already had a price cut, and to top it all off they changed the insides of the machine, selling europe a machine without a ps2 chip in it, instead depending on emulation to play ps2 games (which has chopped down the amount of backwards compatabile titles by a huge amount. It's hard to judge if it will be any good, as I didn't think the PS2 found it's stride for at least a couple of years, but came out the best balanced console of the last generation, in my opinion, all things considered. Thats my tuppence worth for what it's worth.

I have to say with the exceptions of pumpkins and nin nothing much jumps out at me. Having said that I usually find that the smaller stages are usualy more satisfying at festivals.

You may be interested to know that he is very much a minority in his opinions in the good old us of a. The PS3 is for febuary the SEVENTH 'best' selling console, behind DS, 360, Wii, PS2, PSP, and Gameboy advance. Ouch. February NPD Madness - Kotaku

I knew this would happen. Don't want to go to any fetivals but must ...see.....Smashing..Pumpkins! Now the dilema. Do I get a ticket or hold out for a proper tour.....
