DKC2 "sucks"?!? Hardly! It's just as good as (if not better than) DKC1.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 05-21-2007, 08:23 PM

Jed, your friend is a duchebag. Sorry, but DKC2 is one of the best platformers of the 16-bit era, if not one of the best ever. It reeks of style, charm, new ideas, and sheer beauty. Download. Now. Don't think about it. Just do it. You know you want to. It's the right decision.

I SAID DO IT DAMMIT!

kthxbye.

I'll definetly get it tomorrow. I see you guys got SOR2 as well, I want that game so badly!

Demented Utrom · 05-22-2007, 02:25 AM

I downloaded, Streets of Rage 2 on Monday. The bass, on the Boss Fight music is pretty loud since I have a 10 inch Subwoofer.I play on Mania all the time with Max.I usually, lose lives at the Double Jets at the end of Stage 2. Plus Blazing Lasers some shoot them up game.

Jed · 05-22-2007, 10:05 PM

Bought Paperboy just cause it's such a funny game.

Peanut · 05-24-2007, 11:11 PM

I've bought a lot of stuff recently that I haven't posted about, but this week I got PotC3 for 360, which I already beat, as well as Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords for DS.

Firstly, PotC3 is actually not as bad as reviews make it out to be. In fact, I quite enjoyed it. It certainly is a very good looking game. Impressive for a movie tie-in game.

And Puzzle Quest...well...if you own a DS and don't own this game? Die. Seriously, just drop dead. Right next to Animal Crossing, Elite Beat Agents, Hotel Dusk and NSMB, this has to be in every DS owners library.

And I bought Odin Sphere tonight. I haven't played it yet, but I'll let you all know how it turns out, considering it's another of those top-tier titles on the PS2 that no one will play.

Aries10 · 05-24-2007, 11:37 PM

I have never heard of Puzzle Quest I will check it out. I could always use more DS games.

**Krang** · 05-25-2007, 02:31 AM

I just received Ouendan 2 today. Still deciding whether or not I want to buy Planet Puzzle League/Panel de Pon DS.

**Barkworm** · 05-25-2007, 03:18 AM

I just bought Hotel Dusk.

Jed · 05-25-2007, 11:02 AM

Got DKC2 for VC and Kameo for 360 but it's scratched so I have to return it.

Dinny · 05-25-2007, 11:26 AM

Strikers Charged! There is only one word to decribe it: hectic. Even compared to the first.

*Mecha Cow* · 05-25-2007, 12:23 PM

How much of an improvement is it over the first? I liked it but it felt like half a game, and it wasn't very Marioey.

Dinny · 05-25-2007, 01:38 PM

I'll probably be able to give a fairer assessmet in a few days if and when I've calmed down, but it really is better than the first without a doubt. I got the same feeling from playing this for the first time as I did when I played Double Dash, utter comedic confusion and silly fun. I haven't played it outside of multiplayer yet (which is obviously going to be its strength) so I can't really comment on the single player, but if it's half as fun as the multiplayer then this game is more than worth the purchase.

Jed · 05-25-2007, 04:41 PM

I got an email from Nintendo about it and it said that I can "play against other people in Europe". Do they actually mean I can only play other Europeans and no one from America or anywhere else?

Dinny · 05-25-2007, 04:44 PM

I haven't tried out the internet service yet, but is it even out in the US or Japan?

Yeah, it's not out in the US yet. But I think I read somewhere that if you wanna play people around the world, you need their friend codes.

*Mecha Cow* · 05-25-2007, 06:02 PM

From what I gather the game's online service is region-bound when playing with random opponents, to minimise lag. As far as I know you can play with people worldwide, provided you've exchanged Friend Codes like Cure mentioned.

Ra · 05-27-2007, 12:50 AM

I haven't bought it yet, but I have my eye on "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Legend of Jack Sparrow". I'm still deciding to buy it or not, but I'm liking what I hear from it so far...

*Mecha Cow* · 05-27-2007, 08:46 AM

Well, it's a licensed game, so I wouldn't expect too much.

Spawn Guy · 05-27-2007, 08:54 AM

Its a simple hack and slash game. Its simple fun, but it has the potential to become really dull.

Got Spider-Man 3 for the PS3. Amazing. Took everything I didn't like about Spider-Man 2 and Ultimate Spider-Man, and put up some incredible graphics, especially with the cinema style combat moves. One of the better movie tie ins.
