got Dead Rising.

<3 it.

PsychoJoe · 08-10-2006, 11:39 PM

Just got Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3: Mutant Nightmare for XBOX previously used at Blockbuster. It was only $9.99, so I couldn't pass that up.

You guys weren't kidding. The last boss was something a pushover... especially compared to everything else the game threw at me. Still, that was a helluva experience and well worth the purchase.

As for now... picked up Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerberus.

Ugh. You're kidding!? Talk about screwing an entire fanbase. Horribly medicore game, but they'll all chew it up because it's FF.

Capcom Generations 5 (Saturn) - SFII, SFII Turbo, SFII Hyper Fighting
Street Fighter Collection (Saturn) - SSFII, SSFII Turbo, SFAlpha2Gold

6-button pad for the win. I hate the 360's D-Pad. I just hate it.

Oh, I know that problem all too well. No more Tekken Tag for me... On the plus side, Dirge is a typical silver/gray disc.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 08-18-2006, 12:04 AM

Faulty discs based on color. What a shoddy system.

*Dr. Doom* · 08-18-2006, 03:51 AM

I've experianced that with blue discs. But we all know my PS2 isn't exactly top of the line. It still works though, god bless it. Anyways, I bought Dirge despite the mediocre reviews. Hopefully I can find enough redeeming qualities in it.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 08-18-2006, 05:25 AM

I'm thinking of buying Ninety Nine Nights (played the demo and liked it, even if it is repetitive). BUT, it's got to wait until after Dead Rising. Played it at Wal-Mart. Sweet Jebus, you were right Peanut. I would have got it then, but the day I buy a video game at Wal-Mart is the day I stab myself in the balls.

Peanut · 08-18-2006, 02:55 PM

NNN is awful. After you play 1 or 2 missions you'll want to stab out your eyes and pour salt in the holes. Boring boring boring.

*Spitfire* · 08-18-2006, 04:43 PM

I wanted to do that after only playing the demo for 2 minutes.

YAY I can kill 600 people in 4 seconds with some huge attack I did by mashing buttons!

Peanut · 08-21-2006, 12:29 PM

I finally got my new Guitar Hero guitar in the mail today.

Super slick and bad ass design. Everything is perfect, but it's hard to get used to. The buttons stick out a ton more than the old guitar. I'm so used to just sliding my fingers across for those quick solo's, but my finger gets stuck on the outer edge of the button when I do this. I'm slowly learning that I don't need to press the buttons all the way down to play the note. The buttons also feel slightly closer together. It's not a big deal, but I find myself holding orange and nothing trying to go for blue+orange chords. I'm getting used to it though. Bad ass.

**GK Punk** · 08-21-2006, 12:34 PM

There's a new guitar for it? Is it non an SG anymore?

Peanut · 08-21-2006, 12:41 PM

It's a third-party guitar. I got it from www.theguitarmania.com . It ups the SG on so many levels. So far I like the feel of the SG buttons more, though. I guess it's just because I'm not used to the new ones yet.

A dude from Harmonics was on Gamespot a couple weeks ago talking about GH2 and mentioned that they were working on some new offical guitars for the second one. I'll probably end up getting a third if that's the case.

**GK Punk** · 08-21-2006, 12:47 PM

Woah, Flying V's. Someone loves Gibson, that's for sure

I like the V alot better from the looks of it. SGs are awesome as real guitars, but for a game, it looks like the V would be better.

Peanut · 08-21-2006, 09:38 PM

It is better. Especially since it's wireless. You can rock out hardcore and not worry about ripping the PS2 off the shelf or pulling out the cord. I like to have fun dancing around when I play, much unlike most people who just sit/stand there and play.

**Krang** · 08-22-2006, 04:07 AM

Speaking of guitars, I have one of these on preorder for Guitar Freaks. Unfortunately, they postponed the release date for another month...

**GK Punk** · 08-22-2006, 04:11 AM

NIIICE. That's based on the Fender Jazz Master I believe? (Maybe the Jagmaster?) I've always loved that body style. One of the few Fender guitars I'd buy over a Gibson or PRS.

**Krang** · 08-22-2006, 04:45 AM

I had been wondering if the GF controller was based on a real guitar design. That answers my question, thanks! Although this one looks nearly identical to the arcade version, I'm hoping that it has a similar weight and is made from similar materials. Konami has always been good with that on their ASCs, though.
