In addition to being in the middle of playing through The Twin Snakes, Wind Waker, RE4 and No More Heroes again, I'm still playing Apollo Justice. I still think parts of the 'gameplay' are incredibly contrived but I'm starting to appreciate the game more. It's not entirely my thing but I can see why people like the series.

So Wal Mart did this hilarious thing and put the Classic Controller gel sleeve/2000 wii point bundles on clearance. so for a gell cover which i wont use, and 2000 wii points, i'd only spend 12 bucks. I'mma buy 2, and throw the sleeves.

Lost Winds, here I come.

**Barkworm** · 06-01-2008, 02:19 AM

I think starting the series with Apollo Justice wasn't exactly a great idea.

*Mecha Cow* · 06-01-2008, 09:37 AM

Why not? I figured I'd start with the one that was actually made with the DS in mind, though I can't say it's pushing the system to its limits. I don't get the impression I'm missing much -if anything- in terms of story, though.

I'm playing Parasite Eve right now. Very hard. Just to play it last time, I had to use cheat codes.

愛 · 06-01-2008, 05:23 PM

I personally found Parasite Eve to be quite easy. I'm kinda casually playing through it on emulator. I did remember it being a difficult game back in middle school, though. It was like the game in between FF7 and FF8, so it was a good time killer while I waited for FF8 to come out.

How's Metal Slug Anthology?

I've only played the first game thus far, and I can't tell a difference between it and the MAME ROM I played last weekend.

*Brodie* · 06-02-2008, 12:58 AM

I got Lost Winds, and the ladyfriend wanted Yoshi's Island. And I had to buy a LAN usb connector for the wii.

It's just MS1-6+X on a single disc. Nothing more, nothing less. Red blood is intact but the hit flashes are missing (to prevent seizures or something). There's some load times and (I think) a tiny bit of slowdown every so often, but nothing major and the games generally run fine. Just be sure to get a GC controller because the other control options suck.

*Ecto Jedi* · 06-02-2008, 08:25 PM

I'm still scratching my head as to why there's no classic controller support. Idiots.

Peanut · 06-02-2008, 08:32 PM

Isn't there? I could have sworn I saw that game demoed with the Classic Controller on "On The Spot" some time ago. They showed off like 9 different control schemes.

My personal favourite was the one where you hold the Wiimote up-right like an arcade stick. That didn't look awful at all.

Peanut · 06-03-2008, 12:15 AM

I just got done playing through the Bourne Conspiracy demo, and I gotta say that's a day one purchase for me. I'm hoping it actually gets released tomorrow, because I'm all OVER that game. I'm still pissed it isn't Matt Damon's likeness in the game, though.

I remember the show and I think when they were asked if they had CC support, they didn't even know what it was. LOL

**ThirdMarioBro** · 06-03-2008, 04:08 AM

Nintendo wouldn't let them use it. Heaven forbid a launch title show a lack of innovation. That's why I bought the PS2 version for $20.

(Shrugs) I paid the same price for the Wii version, and I decided on that version because my Wii library needs to be filled out a bit more. I only use the Gamecube controller anyway.

*Mr. Snackpants* · 06-03-2008, 08:24 PM

Played through Army of 2 and started a second time on professional. Pretty fun game to get together and play with a friend. The gameplay kinda blows, story is pretty predictable but it's fun anyways. The different weapons are cool and back-to-back is fun. I find it funny how every door in this game require 2 people to bash down, haha. Cutscenes look pretty amazing, some of the best I've seen.
