I'm gonna play a game on my DS for the first time in a while tonight in bed.

What should I play? I'm thinking either Phantom Hourglass or PW3


I should also have GH: On Tour soon thanks to a Mr. final-fx

I have payday (two weeks from old temp job) along DLA today, but I have no idea what to buy.

I think I should hold off actually, although I may go with The World Ends With You on DS. I haven't touched my DS in while...

[Turok]

I was secretly hoping I'd receive my Play-Asia order today, but alas it still hasn't arrived.

[Warioman]

Someone should make an online multiplayer MK Wii and SSBB revival thread They were played for a few weeks then ditched

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

After installing new drivers for my graphics card in order to run Spore, I've found that said drivers can seriously ruin chances of other games working!

How did I miss Viva Pinata for so long?

Because you said you wouldn't buy a machine that would brake when you turned it on.

That'll be why.

I only buy machines that accelerate when I turn them on. It makes playing them tricky, but that's my problem to deal with.

I had a go of the Beijing 2008 demo earlier on and it's not bad, actually.

I found it hard to get a good start for the 100m sprint but I managed to catch up enough to get 2nd place on my best run. The triple jump was easier than expected as I managed to break the Olympic Record at one point. As for the hammer throw, it took me a while to get the hang of it but after a few goes I managed to get first place.

I don't know if I'd buy the game, though, but it would definitely be worth a rental at least.

Here Pred... how much gaming where you able to fit in in your 1st year at uni?

Keeps you fit, I imagine.

Your slating might work if you spelt break right, Proto.

I've gone back to try to finish off the Forza 2 career for the umpteenth time. I'm getting there, only nine regular competitions and four endurance races to go. I also on a whim entered a couple of tournaments that I qualified for but have no intention of playing because they start at 4am.

I don't even like the game that much but I still keep coming back when I have much better games I could be playing.

I had a day and an afternoon free during first semester and I was only in for three mornings during my second semester. That meant I had quite a bit of free time, although I should have spent much longer on my course work.

[Seven]

Ugh, I've seen Wii Fit is back on stock on GAME online store and I want it.
Or even Rock Band on 360.

But I think I'll hold off..I might buy Mother 3 for GBA, though.

[Skippy]

Got Geometry Wars 2 earlier, addictive stuff.

[Mockmaster]

[Jax]

Nintendo fanboys, so impatient. They only got Zelda and Mario last year.

Right.

The Halo 2 hate in here is unbearable. All I hear is negativity, but nobody is saying why Halo2 is the worst of the lot, or in what ways the others are better.

I will dismiss the original altogether (great game that it was/is) and ask - HOW is Halo3 better than 2?

Don't get me wrong - I thoroughly enjoyed Halo3. However, shooting the Brutes just wasn't as much fun as battling the Elites, who had personal regenerative shielding the same as Master-Chief's, as opposed to the frankly (comparatively!) rubbish deployable shielding of the brutes.

Further, the co-operative mode continued the game when a player dies, respawning them once the danger is passed - which allowed the surviving player to simply backtrack to safety for an instant respawn (along with more ammo).

...and whoever highlighted the fight against the 'giant-bug-walker-thing' must have forgotten that it was done first in Halo2.

Halo 3 was too short, and FAR too easy! Of course it looked better... but have you tried Halo2 on 360 or a decent PC? If that's what you lot want then fine... but don't diss the gaming nirvana that is Halo2.
