I put down Mario Galaxy for it and I have no intention of seeing that boring Mario 64 rehash(I kid, it's an ok tho overrated game) again until I've finished Unleashed 100%.

People should be banned from the Earth for examples of such stupidity, but you sir--you should be banned from the planetary system.

There you go.

As others have said, you're welcome to start a thread either here or in the B/S/T section about it.

Oh you say that so often that phrase has lost all meaning.

I got MK vs DCU. It's a lot of fun. Haven't enjoyed an MK game this much since MK2.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 11-24-2008, 08:42 PM

Barky! Where the hell have you been?

*raphael_is_cool* · 11-25-2008, 03:54 PM

So I decided to get Guitar Hero: World Tour with the guitar. I have to wait a while for Rock Band 2 on PS3 (I got 1 on 360 and then all my friends got it on PS3 later!).

I'm actually impressed with the game considering the pile of crap that was GH3. Shame that it seems the GH Tunes section is pretty much filled with:
- Crap
- Covers/remakes of actual songs
- Crap covers/remakes of actual songs

It's good to see at least few people besides Neversoft making an effort.
And I'm gonna try and add to that http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=yXq4FgmQhlU

Agreed. Beating the crap out of Joker with Superman makes me smile.
Its a shame that it might be the last MK game.

Who said that?

Peanut · 11-25-2008, 06:59 PM

If it doesn't sell well enough, Midway is going down the tubes.

Either way, the MK license is too big to be lost forever. If Midway goes down, expect it to be bought up very quickly. Once the fire-sale starts, that'll be the first one to go. Let's just hope Ed Boon doesn't get left behind. Dude IS Mortal Kombat.

*The Stryker* · 11-25-2008, 07:00 PM

Well Midway is going bankrupt any day now.

EDIT: Oop, Peanut got to it and did it better....Jerk.

*Cure* · 11-25-2008, 07:04 PM

Oh, OK. Yeah, like Peanut said, hopefully it gets bought up by another company.

*Dr. Doom* · 11-26-2008, 03:57 PM

SSF2THDR

Now I need to go out and get one of those Mad Catz controllers where the D-Pad isn't nearly as bad as Dreamcast's.

Doom! Review requested, por favor!

Peanut · 11-26-2008, 04:41 PM

Here's the review - It's Street Fighter 2 with significantly improved graphics. My friends, who are HUGE into SF, have found a couple of character balance tweaks, something about E. Honda's missile attack being better, and the existence of fake hadoukens, but apparently it's pretty much SF2 to the core, except it looks amazing.

Edit: PS...I want this game so baaaaaaaaad. One more week!

*Dr. Doom* · 11-26-2008, 04:48 PM

That about sums it up. It's not a differnet game. It's SSF2T with a fresh coat of paint and online play, as well as a few gameplay tweaks. If you've played SSF2T before, then you know pretty much what you're getting into here.

Peanut · 11-26-2008, 05:17 PM

Noooooo! Barky got Braid. *cries*

**ThirdMarioBro** · 11-26-2008, 05:40 PM

The way they pulled off widescreen without modifying the gameplay is by zooming in. All the characters seem larger now as a result, but that's great because it allows you to see all the cool little details in the new art without breaking the original 4:3 gameplay boarder. There are character tweaks, but everything's an improvement from what I can tell. Guile doesn't suck ass now, Chun-Li can still charge and hold her super, flubbed commands are less frequent, and the OC Remix soundtrack is outstanding. I never could stand the bass-less versions of the classic tunes from the original SSFII. Super Turbo's "big bird" announcer has been yanked for a more gruff voice, and Guile's voice has been restored to the original Hyper Fighting "Don Pardo with a hangover" version. Otherwise, all sound effects are intact, albeit higher quality now. The online is also outstanding with little to no lag. There's also this insane little menu where you can turn on or off every little known glitch in the game for anal tourney heads to mull over.

Basically, it's the definitive SSFIITurbo.

And that's why I bought the PS3 version.

PS2 USB adapter plus one of those babies equals unfair advantage.

*Cure* · 11-26-2008, 05:41 PM

Aw, snap. I can't wait for the Prince of Persia, either. He's the Prince of my heart.

And Barky, we gotta know; what do you think of Braid? I'll let you know what I think after you post.

*Mecha Cow* · 11-26-2008, 06:05 PM

Man, PoP really is f*cking gorgeous. I hate buying games at full price, but this baby will be a gift from me to me next week.

IGN just gave it a 9.3 too, for what it's worth.
