Yeah. My reaction was pretty much "OMFG!" quickly followed by latching onto the game and running to the register.

I was aiming to get Cooking Mama. Hahah.

Buy them and sell them on Ebay at jacked up prices haha

*Kid Icarus* · 10-14-2006, 01:23 AM

Damn. You got me. >_>.

Won't those children have a supprise when the wake up christmas morning though? Hahaha!

**GK Punk** · 10-14-2006, 01:24 AM

OBJECTION! Uh actually yeah that would be pretty funny

**ThirdMarioBro** · 10-14-2006, 04:50 AM

I just bought Bankshot Billiards on XBLA. It's unbelieveably fun. You'd think video pool would be stupid, but this is awesome. The physics are perfect. it's damned overpriced though.

Guess I'll finally get Joust too. I payed off Gears of War, and preordered the Nintendo Wii, Zelda, Red Steel, Excitetruck, Classic Controller, Wario Ware, and a space controller/nunchucku. Not preordering Sonic. It'll be common as hell, so I'll just pick it up when I pick it up.

Now I'm broke, and I need to finish my Disney DVD collection. Gaming comes first though, so cest' le vie.

Peanut · 10-14-2006, 11:23 AM

Are you telling me you actually paid the full 1,250 points for that thing!?!?!

Why wouldn't you just go buy the XBLA disc at EB and get that, plus a bunch of other games for the price of a points card!?

C'est la vie, Peanut. C'est la vie.

Point taken, though.

Just got God Hand for PS2.

~~Toonami Tom~~ · 10-14-2006, 09:57 PM

What's God Hand?

**ThirdMarioBro** · 10-14-2006, 09:59 PM

A game that's so bad, it's good.

EB XBLArcade disc? When the hell did they release that?

Meh, whatever. It's fun anyway.

No, actually. IGN rated it so horribly it isn't even funny. Both Gamespot and 1UP, who I trust a good deal more, rated it in the 8's and it's SOOO worth it. Especially at the bargin price.

If you own a PS2 and/or respect my opinion on games, read this!

Essentially it's a beat-em-up, but it's completely INSANE! If you were to look at the artwork, look at the character designs, even the game case, it seems like one of those serious games, but it's so far from it.

Let me start off by saying this game seems like it's hella deep. I went through the moves and stuff before I even started playing and damn. You start off with a basic combo, and a couple special moves. You can change your combo, which starts at 5 hits, and replace the moves in the combo with anything you want. Then there are special moves, like juggle hits, launch strikes and guard breakers. On top of that, you have the "roulette" which is a series of special moves that you activate by pressing R1, then scrolling quickly through a list of off-the-wall moves while the game goes into slow-mo. Plus, there's the "God Hand", which is really a god arm. This is essentially your ultimate weapon. Once your God Hand bar fills up, you can activate it and just lay waste to enemies with quick punches that destroy them.

Ok, now that that's aside, just picture this. You start the game in some kind of old western style town. The main character is named Gene! LOLZ. The first thing you notice...the music. F*cking surf rock! It feels like you should be riding the waves, not beating the sh*t out of people! Amazing! So fat guy comes running up to me, "I'm hungry hungry hungry!" rubbing his stomach. I start kicking his ass. Some context sensitive moves pop up, like stomping the hell out of someone on the ground, counters, etc etc. Dude tries to german suplex me. I pull off the counter, land behind his back, he turns around, I push R1. It goes into roulette mode. I skim quickly through the list as the timer ticks down, I see a move called..."Ball Buster". Natural first choice. Gene spins around and f*cking hoofs the guy in the nuts, complete with a nice loud "DING!" the guy screams "MY GOD, WHY!?!" in a hilarious voice and a studio audience crowd starts laughing. I lost it. I couldn't stop laughing. That one single moment cemented this game as great for me.

Out of the 4 cut-scenes I've so far seen, one involed Gene telling his friend that a group of burly men were much sexier than her. One involved a poor guy getting bitten by a sparkling, purple and green "poision chiuaua". Another had the chick put a sign on Gene's back before he gets into a fight reading, "Kick My Ass! God Hand!" with a kiss on it. Gene proceeded to call her a b*tch. The last one involved a fat chinese dude named Elvis being told to stomp out the God Hand, complete with some kind of weird creature chick calling him a fat-ass and some other guy setting the table on fire while telling the chick to "GET YOUR LEGS OFF MY TABLE!".

On top of all this the fighting is intense and extremely satisfying. On top of that, it's actually HARD! I love it! And the game is a f*cking steal! I paid only $34.99 CDN for it! If you own a PS2...get this game. Ignore the IGN article. Listen to 1UP, Gamespot and ME. Have I ever lead you guys wrong?

Wait, the game actually has a laugh track? I'm not interested in it, but that's some cool points right there.
