Speaking of XBLA titles, is anyone else as psyched as me for Prince of Persia: Classic, tomorrow? God, it looks so amazing.

Jed · 06-12-2007, 02:07 PM

I can't wait to get it either, I'm in work though so I can't get it until later. Should be great though.

With that and Sands of Time, I'm one happy camper.

Peanut · 06-12-2007, 06:59 PM

And aside from that, is anyone getting Tenchu Z? It was supposed to come out today, but I can't find it anywhere. EB says maybe tomorrow, though.

4 player co-op ninja action over XBL? YES F*CKING PLEASE!

*Brodie* · 06-12-2007, 11:10 PM

Tomb Raider Anniversary for PC....Use of the 360 controller is awesome since it sets up the buttons automatically, like the 360 game.

And Call of duty 3333333

Got this a few days ago, but just getting to posting on it.

Mario Party 8

So far, have played 3 of the Boards in the Party Tent mode (a few times each). And it's been yet another fun Mario Party game.

*Cure* · 06-13-2007, 03:04 PM

Just got Prince of Persia Classic.

Okay, it's a well made game and whatnot, but I just must truly suck at it. No game has pissed me off more than this, not even Alien Hominid. He either jumps too far or not far enough. He lets go of ledges for no reason. And what's the f*cking point of parrying if they're just gonna f*cking hit me anyway? What I liked about the new Prince of Persia games is the way it flowed, but I don't get that with this game with the constant dying for no f*cking reason. And how about jumping over a f*cking hole with spikes on the bottom just to be pushed in it by a f*cking guard waiting for me before I could even f*cking parry or attack.

Like I said, a well-made game, just not for me.

Peanut · 06-13-2007, 04:39 PM

Man, have you never played the original Prince of Persia? You god damn kids!

PoP is HARD. That's how it's always been. You need precise timing to pull off the stunts in it. This game should separate the men from the boys!

**ThirdMarioBro** · 06-13-2007, 07:50 PM

Men from boys eh? Well, my rod is strong as steel and I've got 4000 points to blow. What the hell.

*Cure* · 06-13-2007, 08:21 PM

Haha, I'll still beat it, it'll just take me a while. And nah, I've never played the original, so I wasn't expecting this.

Peanut · 06-13-2007, 08:58 PM

It's f*cking AMAZING! Bottom line! They somehow managed to keep the old PoP feel, while putting in the more flashy acrobatic animations, and tweaking the controls juuuust enough. The control changes take away some of the difficulty, as the Prince now transitions between animations and stances much more fluently, but it also makes the jumps and maneuvers seem all the more satisfying. It's perfect.

Something finally kicks Cloning Clyde out of my position as the best XBLA game.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 06-13-2007, 10:47 PM

I'm going to try out the new Gears of War update tonight to see if they fixed the Roadie Run, then I'm going to buy this on you guy's good word.

*Brodie* · 06-14-2007, 02:59 AM

Whats the Gears update? Cost?

**ThirdMarioBro** · 06-14-2007, 11:05 AM

It's supposed to be free if you have the previous two content updates.

~~Toonami Tom~~ · 06-15-2007, 07:06 PM

I have been saving my points for Bomber Man Live, so I will get POP Classic later. Unless you guys think I should get POP Classic now and buy a new points card for Bomber Man Live.

Today I bought a pre-played Death by Degrees for PS2. It's an action game starring Nina Williams from the Tekken fighting games. I haven't played it yet, but I will soon. It was $10.

When I turned on Gears of War earlier an update was available, so I downloaded it. What does the new update do again? I didn't see any difference when I played it over Live.

I was thinking on buying it as well. I didn't realize it was Nina until I picked it up and thought how familiar she looked. The game looks good though, you'll have to let me know.

Jon · 06-16-2007, 06:49 PM

Got Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree today.

A fun little game so far (like the DS one). With a lot of different challenges.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 06-17-2007, 05:01 AM

I imported a mint copy of Panel de Pon for Super Famicom and sawed off the stubs in my SNES so I can play it.

**Krang** · 06-18-2007, 02:36 AM

I picked up Planet Puzzle League yesterday. A great game overall (as expected of any version of PdP/PL/TA), and I particularly like the new modes, online play, and even the stylus control. I do miss the old sound effects, but I'm glad they still included the combo fanfare like TMB mentioned in another post.

Leogeddon · 06-21-2007, 01:42 AM

Mario Party 8
i want the big brain academy, there are some other games for the wii i want too... of course: SSBB
