I dunno. My concern is whether or not they'd be able to get aiming down with the Wiimote without making Lara spaz out everytime you move the controller. It would work fine if they limited Wii-mote usage to the precise aiming, used the d-pad for the camera, and then had everything else work like it would on a standard controller.
Excited for the awesome new releases this fall? What are you playing now?

[quote name='daroga']Interesting. Once I chew through a little bit more of my backlog, I think I'm gonna get Legend for the 360. I like the demo quite a bit. I wonder what the chances of them not botching the Wii version of Anniversary are.[/quote]
I would just get Legend now, you can beat it in at least a day, at most a weekend, and it's cheap.
There's 8 or 9 levels, each taking at most 1 hour, at least 10 minutes. If you're going to go back to collect all secrets, it'll double you original playtime. I mean it's a great game, but it's really short.

Strangely, the Wii menus looked worse than I recall them (text was crisp, Miis were more jaggy), while the game looked pretty slick.[/QUOTE]
Ah, you've discovered the curse of viewing the Wii via component on a big-screen TV
. Before I had my component cables the composite did a nice job of smoothing the edges of the Miis. Then they were brought out in sharp relief with the component cables (which, as you noticed, makes most everything else look better though).

$15 for Tomb Raider Anniversary next week is a steal then, especially if reviews feel it's worth twice that Just need to find a GGC.
I just got Mario Party 8 for $30 today by using the loophole in the Buy 2 Wii games save $20 deal at Circuit City, and I've already got my Shadowrun on Ebay to grab a free Microsoft Flight Simulator X tomorrow as well.
Buy Shadowrun for PC for $38, get MSFX for free, I should be able to sell Shadowrun for $38 easily equaling a free MSFX just for driving to CC when they open
No interest in the game other than for benchmarking stuff since I heard the game was an absolute beast.

picked up Killzone today.
looks freaking amazing for a PS2 game, especially upscaled, but the bad framerate holds it back. that and starting a level over again after dying just sucks in an FPS.
I'm also the proud owner of the guy game. I can now say I officially own kiddie porn. I've already called my friends and family about this. (but I'm just flipping it )

)Yeah, I'd like to buy the Guy Game for the kiddie porn factor, but $30 or whatever it is you want... not sure I can do that.
(and no, I'm not serious.... probably)
Anyway, I realized that the UK version of Ridge Racer 2 for the PSP is actually pretty cheap on Ebay... might finally get around to picking that up. Woulda done that last time I was actually in the UK, but I'm anal about the whole "selling used games as new" thing. If you think it's bad at Gamestop... all the big stores in the UK do this. Virgin Megastore, HMV, GAME... doesn't matter, you're not getting a new copy. Then again, they have horrible teeth, so this moronic practice doesn't surprise me at all.

I'm this close to biting on the PSP + free $20 game at CC this week.
Not sure what the free game should be..
Mega Man Powered Up if they have it, or maybe Syphon Filter if that's $20 now.

man, you post this, then you sent me like 30 messages asking for "the game with the kiddy porn in it." i mean, what's up with that?

I wouldn't worry too much about it. It can't be that rare yet... of course, this gives you incentive to git goin and pick that sonuvabitch up like every self-respecting PSP owner has done. Capcom really did an excellent job on it.

Oh, and I finally got more armor for my characters in RG. Actually, got two different pieces recently, so I feel good about that. It's nice that you can see the different armor on your characters once you equip it rather than having the same clothes for the entire game.

You'll need to copy and paste that most likely. Check to see if any GS/EBs have it. It's $17.99 used.

Just started rogue galaxy in the past two days, it's pretty good. I just killed a giant frog. I think i'm going to read up on the basics in the guide for a bit. I'm not too proud to admit that I enjoy these games more when using a guide
Thanks for the link, daroga. I might try to get that with the new coupon or the b2g1, or both if the kids working the local GameStop allow it.
I'm kicking myself for not picking up locoroco for $10 now..

[quote name='Chacrana']Mmm mmm, won me a sealed copy of Super Castlevania IV on Ebay. Yeah yeah, VC this and VC that... don't care.[/QUOTE]
Ouch.
SNES looks like shit on my HDTV, I'm glad I dumped all of that shit when I had the chance. Composite doesn't really make things shine, I'd rather go for 480p.
SCIV isn't that hard to find new since it was reprinted a few years ago and sold at TRU.
I saw the auction on Ebay, $61? I hope you're planning on never opening it, because once you open it, it'll be worth about $15 :lol:

yeah, the VC games honestly do look a ton better. Like roufuss I dumped a bunch of mine that have appeared on the VC. Haven't re-bought them yet, but it's nice to know i got double as much in most cases as it'd cost to get them on VC.
yeh. I'm too big of a Castlevania fan I guess. Somehow, I can justify it. And S-video does look fine on my TV. Ah, the plight of being a collector, a Castlevania fan, and an anti-download service Luddite.
And yes, I ran into some cash which is why I can buy all this shit now.

By armor do you mean the clothes? Yeah, you won't get very much of that. I think there might bee 5 or 6 outfits for each character and at least 1 set is only obtained by completing the various sidequests 100%. Make SURE you do the optional world, though, to get Jaster's coolest outfit. They each provide minimal defense upgrades, but not much, really. Some of it is in hard to reach chests and some you get automatically in the course of the game.

Well, right now I am playing these:
Test Drive Unlimited Xbox 360 (Almost done with what I was trying to do in this one)
Quake 4 Xbox 360 (better than I expected but could be better game wise)
Saints Row Xbox 360 (Always playing this with my gang DaWishamutha
awood Poose on Xbox Live and yes that is our actual gang name but they censor it on the game so it would look like this DaWishamutha____wood Poose)
Perfect Dark Zero Xbox 360 (Still play this occasionally on Live)
F.E.A.R. (Haven't played single player yet but play instant action & on Live every once in a while)
Blitz: The League (I really don't like this game but I play it just to pass time away when I don't feel like playing a shooter)
Other various Xbox Live Arcade games like Texas Hold'em, Aegis Wing, & Hexic HD.

Oh, and side note: Yeah, I already have Castlevania IV on the VC. I liked it enough that I saw fit to spend teh cash on the SNES version. I'm-a-craaazzzzyy.[/QUOTE]
If I don't like it, I sell it, and it's free money. It all works out either way.
Are you opening that Castlevania IV? It wouldn't make a lot of sense to spend big money and then open it, since complete ones aren't going for nealy $61 (or even half that) =O

Not sure, really. I know I will eventually. I mean, if I shelled out the cash for Castlevania IV, I'm gonna be crazy enough to open it and destroy the value. Actually, the value's really irrelevant to me. I just want the game and I don't really feel like having it bound to my Wii.

I'm currently playing:
Prey -- Damn good FPS. Very easy though since you can't die.
Burnout Revenge -- It's the hotness. I'm trying to get everything perfected but I still get my ass whipped in ranked matches.
Madden '07 -- I know, I know. I just got it to beat up on my buddy from Cali.
Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike -- I'm still trying to learn the basics....
DOA4 -- Trying to beat the game with everyone so I can get Helena and Spartan.
Looking forward to:
Bioshock
Mass Effect
Disagea PSP
FF Tactics PSP
Metal Gear Solid 4

thumbs up for Final Fantasy Anniversary. they did a nice job of keeping it from feeling completely archaic (it's still FF1, but with the conveniences of modern RPGs.) the sprites are beautiful as well.
Hopefully they made the wizards before that one chest a little less intense

I'm excited about getting Powered Up one of these days.. I hear the level creation and bonus stuff is pretty slick.
Man, the difficulty in Chapter 8 of Rogue Galaxy just shot up like... a lot. I'm disappointed, because I've got two good, maxed subweapons for Jaster and two maxed main weapons for Kisala, but I'm not high level enough to use the resulting weapon. I cannot wait to see what it is.
