It was pretty....and...did I mention it was pretty?

Yes and no. The Gamecube is built smarter, so it manages to usually make better use of its power than PS2. However, it has difficulties handling huge worlds, more characters on screen because its internal RAM cache is smaller than the other two's. Plus, the storage capacity of GC discs also hurts it a bit. Some things it does very well, other things it isn't so hot at.

Yeah, if it were circumstantial (Foley missing an Edge attempted pinfall or something), it doesn't look so bad. As it is, it's going to be a massive stretch.

Good finish, although it makes Edge look like a total whiny bitch to want to feud with Foley over this.

Face Trish is a moron.

Masters following the Bret HOF announcement. Odd choice, WWE.

I hope they replay Shawn's soliloquoy as HHH slept peacefully in the dumpster during their epic blood feud.

Did Shawn say "Me and my buttbuddies?" It would be "My buttbuddies and I," Shawn.

So, is Vince trying to get us all on his side?

I miss those cheesy video game comic ads. I don't care how popular Hogan was, it seemed that the Road Warriors were in EVERY DAMN WRESTLING GAME AD I'd seen in the 80's/early 90's.

It's an extra in nearly all the Advance titles. It's a fun little game for a bit, but pointless without multiplayer, IMO.

Most of that stuff makes the "with his bare hands" stuff redundant, though.\ Jon Stewart did the Penguin laugh on last night's TDS, meh.

Grandia 2 DC vs. PS2-- the main issue is load times, which are abysmal on PS2. Skies is improved on GC, but not drastically so.

Their lack of a Death Star that turns into Unicron disturbs me.

I got the new GameInformer. Here's the main stuff in a nutshell. System Shock 2 folks are making a game called Bioshock. However, I never played SS2 or 1 so I don't care at this point since it's a total puff piece. Shadow Hearts 3 is coming to US, but I think that's old news. John Woo's "Stranglehold" puff piece. Chow Yun Fat in an action game. Midway is developing. Some Valkyrie Profile 2 (PS2) and Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth (PSP revival) info. No official confirmation or denial on US release, but it's an RPG on PSP, so I expect the answer is yes (but since Suikoden 2 isn't coming out on US PSP yet, don't bet the farm on it). Secret of Mana 4 pics and info. I'm honestly underwhelmed at this point, because I don't expect much. Hopefully I'm proved wrong. Dirge of Cerberus; GI tries to cover up best they can that the title is already certified crap. KH2 information that mostly we already know. Vivi makes an appearance, though. Dead Rising: Capcom is making a survival horror game, loaded with zombies...and it isn't a RE game. *shrug* It also takes place in a mall. So, if you were hoping by some small chance we'd get a Dawn of the Dead game, well here ya go. Far Cry Instincts Predator : it's an upgrade. Tetris DS: It's Tetris, it's on DS, it has tons of play modes that you haven't seen before, it's got up ot 4 player wi-fi or 10 player wireless. nuff said. Lego Star Wars 2: The Original Trilogy - see 1up for pics and info. Some quick reviews with scores, to spare you GI's writing. Fight Night Round 3: 9 (for an EA game? Shocked...) 25 to Life: 5.75 Fight Night Streetwise: 4 -- supposedly even if you're semi-blinded by nostalgia, it's crap. Toca Race Driver 3 : 8.25 Onimusha - Dawn of Dreams : 9. "It's wicked fun." A new controllable camera is added, but mainly it's a super-polished entry in the series. Tales of Legendia: 7.25 Grandia III: 8.75 (decimal specifics are stupid, yeah). Shadow Hearts: From the New World: 8.75 --mathematically equal to Grandia III--whoopie! Drakengard 2: 7.25 DOA4: 9...gee, what a shock. Full Auto: 7.5--a true disappointment that It didnt' get 7.75. Odama: 7 Tales of Phantasia: 7.25 Super Princess Peach: 8.75 Exit: 7.25

I've never liked Fire Emblem, and Symphonia's very good. Go for ToS.

1up gave it a 5/10, although the reviewer's blog wants to make it clear that it means she thinks it's an average, not "bad" game.

At least I resisted the annoying pitch to get their discount card. Too bad--I was able to get some good cheap stuff at Sam Goody's before.

Count Dorkula.

Or he could google, like I just did. Thanks, Carnival. I was using FF anyway, but now everthing's zipping along.

Darn it. That collection is basically just an upgraded version of "Across the Universe." That one had: For the Man who Has Everything Night Olympics 1 and 2 Mogo Doesn't Socialize Father's Day Part 1 and 2. Brief Lives A Man's World The Jungle Line Tygers Footsteps In Blackest Night Mortal Clay So, the new collection has Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow and the Killing Joke, for no extra cost. Damn.

I didn't even know he was under contract. They should just have Randy use his gimmick. It'd be about a 10fold improvement over Blandy Orton, Master of 1001 Rest Holds.

I doubt any version will have Pratt nude. There's a sequence where several of the ladies have recently showered and they use the opportunity to exposition out the ass, but the way it is shot it doesn't appear any toplessness has been cut out. And yes, Sid dies less than 10 minutes in, but he makes an appearance shortly afterwards as a zombie, but then after that appearance he never appears again. It was kind of neat to toss that in there, since at least it lets you know what happened with that little situation. However, it doesn't have any effect whatsover on *this* movie, when you would think it should. I honestly have no idea who that actress' name is. Considering that the only notable thing she really did was not die until the end, and run in slow motion so Boll could focus on her bouncing breasts, she's not a huge loss, though. Direct to Sci Fi Channel movie. You're giving it more dignity than it deserves. lovecraft321 and Placebo pretty much share my attitude on this. However, Apocalypse was pretty painful; I have to believe they went out of their way to make that one stupid, though. Remember that the same guy who wrote this movie's screenplay is producing the DOA movie. Then again, he's not writing or directing. DOA's screenplay is being written by guys who previously wrote for Bill Nye, the Science Guy. So, sadly, it probably still has a hell of a lot more potential to be good than this did.

J82: Hey, it happens. I purchased a dirt-cheap Action Replay (not Max), only to find out that Sony's design of the slim jim PS2 effectively makes the original Action Replay worthless. It doesn't even recognise the disc, although the PS1 code disc still works.

Okay, yeah--but in Attitude you had about 40 I believe, while Hardcore Revolution had about 50 I think. Warzone I tend to forget much information about. And i never said it let you do custom movesets--that wasn't introduced until Attitude. Warzone had presets movesets, which were the regular in-game movesets plus 2-3 ones based on non-WWF wrestlers. The sequel to Hardcore Revolution, Anarchy Rulz, had a completely idiotic game engine makeover. To use higher damage moves, you had to first perform lower damage moves and you would be able to temporarily follow up with bigger moves. Sounds fine in theory, but that means usually you'd have your punch/kick/grapple, about 2 or 3 ready moves, and 3 of the most boring grapple moves ever. Plus the fact that somebody designed an ECW game that would play that way, rather than giving you free reign to most/all the big moves at all times is pretty crazy/funny/ironic/stupid. I spent a ridiculous amount of time with WCW vs. the World. I thought the graphics were total crap (even for PS1 at the time), but damn if it didn't play well. I had the internet about that time but didn't do much research on games there. I was wondering if there was any logical reason "The Giant" had a huge afro, and I could swear he must have been Andre or something. Sure enough, that's what happened. It's funny that they swapped out Vader and Dynamite Kid's movesets.
