Has anyone tried out Dementium: The Ward for DS yet? Though, I think it shipped today, as I saw it come out of the "new releases" box at a local game store I was in today... On top of that: is Touch the Dead for the DS any good as well?

Two weeks away. More screenshot goodness @ IGN: http://media.ps2.ign.com/media/745/745588/imgs_1.html

I've also heard good things and have been dying to try out the PC version.

I thought they were ok (come on, they were way better than the original RE controls!), but it's been a long time since I played it. If you're thinking about the right game it was like "Resident Evil 4 on a boat," right? Yah that's the one. I just couldn't get used to how wonky the aiming system was. Then again, I also hate games like Hitman and Splinter Cell for shit like that too. I only played the first level of Cold Fear before I took it back to the rental place for something else.

Cold Fear had a neat atmosphere about it but it was ruined by the crappiest controls I've ever used for a survival horror game...

Okay my account is linked now. It's pretty clear that I need to practice battle mode more before facing people online. Getting my ass owned left, right and center!

I can't link my account either. It actually says my slot is already claimed. Also - I'd like to note that I hate battle mode.. ugh.

Apparently they're part of an S&M gang called the Pervs.

I also had it on GH2 (PS2) but only after for long periods of time without looking away from the fretboard.. I find that if you glance elsewhere every once in a while, it happens a lot less. It's the same idea as running full speed on a treadmill and then suddenly stopping.. you're gonna feel a little bit of vertigo.

Ro'z is in OVW right now and Siaki is on leave from wrestling for "personal problems"

Everything in wrestling is "been there, done that," these days.

Looks fine on my HDTV. Besides.. graphics aren't that important for this type of game, really. Seriously? I'm playing it on an HDTV (though I don't think it's even in 480p so an HDTV doesn't matter) and it looks just atrociously bad. I mean, I guess it doesn't really matter since you're looking at the fretboard pretty much the whole time, but damn it's got some terrible graphics. Even the menus and stuff are muddy and pixelated. Look at the text that pops up that goes "YOU ROCK" when you beat a song. How the hell do they make TEXT look so shitty? Does it suck as bad on the other systems or is it just the Wii version. I don't really care, the game's fun as hell though. The Wii version is 480p. It's been reported pretty much everywhere and even my TV's (Samsung with Game Mode) signal display states 480p. I think the graphics look fine. Looks a few steps up from the PS2 version which is what I was expecting. Either have shitty TVs or you set your expectations too high.

X29 would've made more sense. Oh WWE...

Wow, actors sure are fucking morons these days...

I was in a one off shop (Game Centre) two days ago and they had the PS2 version on their shelf.

Yeah, but it's always the same song.. or a variation of that song.

They need to kill off some main characters already. This season is already way too over-booked and convoluted, IMO.

Brutal - when are these networks going to quit it with these bullshit breaks?

You say that like you havent seen a Best Buy/Circuit City circular in about 25 years either. The RS price was I think $39 with a $20 rebate. Ive never had problems with rebates before, so I dont understand why people are so against them. Circular? A flyer? I don't read those. Besides, snail-mailing something for me would take about as long as it took you to get your friggin' Wii online. You do realize a lot of places have online rebates right? In fact, most of Staples rebates are online only and you dont have to clip any upc codes or send any receipts. This is the way most rebates are going, and you get money back in 6-8 weeks instead of 6 months. I sent my Sprint Rebate via mail but also registered it online back in the beginning of August for $50 on my EVDO modem and I got the money back at the end of September. News to me. Whenever I hear about rebates it's on my receipt and it usually says to mail it in. Nothing about doing it online. Guess it depends where you shop.

That's a good deal, but mail in rebates? C'mon, what is this, 1982?

I was thinking the exact same thing when I saw that scene. I got flashes of Sarah Polly's character driving down the highway where that other car gets t-boned into a gas station and - BOOM!
