It's a bite on a comment in the Vista thread.

Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow is much better than Portrait of Ruin. And it just got a budget re-release in the US for 20 bucks. Get it. Mega Man ZX is really good too. It's actually laid out rather similar to Portrait of Ruin. Masochists who beat *all* of the Zero games seem to hate it for some reason, though. Oh, and are you a fan of rhythm games? Well, that's not important. Get Elite Beat Agents, regardless. Don't get Pokemon just as a "time waster." Give your other DS slot some love and put Final Fantasy VI Advance in it.

I've got $250 set aside in my 360 fund. Hopefully the new 360 model coincides with a *slight* Premium price drop. Then I'll be totally on that.

A ton of PS2 games don't work on Europe PS3s. http://www.joystiq.com/2007/03/20/breaking...d-compatiblity/ Sony doesn't look too interested in fixing that. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070223/tc_nm/...ation_europe_dc Oops.

Okie-doke.

I agree that Rude and Reno pretty much stole the show. Steven Blum may as well not have been in it, considering Vincent's little bit of time in the movie was an epic brood-off with Cloud. And Kadaj's transformation...ok, the appearance, the voice, and even the hair, sure. The change in the clothes and the sword GETTING LONGER and becoming the Masamune? Ugh.

Yeah, it looks really fun to me too. This pretty much makes up my mind--I'll get a 360 first. I just need Assassin's Creed to come out. However, I'm hoping to hold out until the revision of the 360 HW comes out with the larger HDD size. EDIT: Oh. Shame it's above the current premium price tho.

The writing was on the wall for this a long time ago, though. How long was DMC4 360 rumored, seriously? When Capcom started to make *major* bank on their 360 titles (Dead Rising and Lost Planet were big hits), it seemed only natural DMC would be next. 360 already has a solid installed base, while PS3 seems destined to grow theirs slowly.

http://kotaku.com/gaming/dmc4/devil-may-cr...form-245427.php Another former Sony exclusive bites the dust. 360 Devil May Cry 4 launches day to day with the PS3 version. You know, I *think* I heard this rumored before...but now it's official.

Nintendo Power hated TMNT Wii. They said the fights are basically you shaking the wiimote like a spaz, and that the level designs are really weak. I'm going to try to rent the PS2 one, though. Here's a Beyond Oasis gameplay vid, BTW: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtmnMe0EVvs

Bah, I hope it's TMNT 2. I'm downloading both Beyond Oasis and Splatterhouse now.

What would the purpose be behind this? More storage? Wouldn't they just rather have you buy another SD Card? The biggest Virtual Console rumor du jour is that VC will get Saturn emulation and NiGHTs. However, considering the state of Saturn emulation currently, I think it's BS. But, whether or not that day comes, Nintendo doesn't want people to run out of space for VC games, thus, why they'd want to release one. Yeah, you could just delete the games and download them later, but it's nicer to have access to them all. You can't run the VC games off the SD cards, either. They'd have to do a new firmware update if they want to do that.

http://www.abisource.com/ AbiWord, a free word processor that lets you view, edit, and create .doc documents. So, if you don't want to shell out for Microsoft Office and/or you just want Word, this is a good alternative. Plus, there is no Mac Microsoft Word Viewer, so if you only have a Mac and don't want to buy Office you could use it too.

Bad, no. Horrendous, yes.

I saw FFVII: Advent Children yesterday. Jesus Christ!

No.

It seems to work for me fine if, when I pull back the wiimote, I turn it completely upside down. So, holding it the standard way, rotate it back towards you until the buttons point towards the floor. It still registers strangely with the catapults, but works fine for just stepping back. Anyway, I rented the game. I'm enjoying it more and more now that I'm beating lots of the challenges and acquiring more skills. Plus, there are several over-the-top setpieces, such as riding on a bullet you shot out of a giant cannon, surfing straight up a tidal wave, and racing through mid-air loops that are just too damn fun. If I weren't short on cash, I'd go buy it right now. Unfortunately, it's hard to really rate the game, since there's not really any recent bar of quality for a 3D Sonic to really compare it to. The Speed Break is terrific. Press up on the dpad when you have enough pearls collected, and you go through a high-speed autodash that plows through nearly anything in your path. I didn't know Wii could do blast processing.

Well, the game sure led to a lot of fanfics depicting just that....

It also had the best portable Sonic game ever. And Puzzle Bobble. And Card Fighters' Clash A darn good wrestler called Big Bang Pro Wrestling

Bumping to remind folks the show premieres tonight.

Ms. Cartman is Cartman's dad.

Neo Geo Pocket Color? I'd say $30-ish.
