You've got song lyrics & an artist. Find the song name!

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Doh. Thanks.

[Floating Onion]

Had to start working again at level 9.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Got to level 8 and decided not for me. Too frustrating.

[Bleep]

Anyone on an xbox playing GTA4 online yet?

[Floating Onion]

PGC:

They're really satisfying when you do solve them though!

Bleep:

Oh yes.

[Ant]

Anyone else got Mario Kart Wii? Want to join up for online racing?

[david_carnell]

Unbelieveable!

Chrono-Trigger, coming to DS, no shit:

Nice for the poor souls who didn't get to play it on silicon last time around.

With a large budget splurged on this "cursed" rpg title, an international release looks pretty certain:

Looks like the sort of thing I could lose a lot of time to. Perhaps it's just as well I bought a Wii rather than a 360.

[SeanMacGabhann]

I've played the demo on the 360 quite a lot - it's great but I'm never going to buy it. Just because it will eat too much time up

[Shu.Kurimu.Sensei]

Metal Slug 7 on DS is sheer genius! Anybody else braving it on Hard?

This looks interesting, won't fit the mario kart wheel though..

Just to bump the thread, some info on the new [last?] Castlevania for the DS, out soon here [sorry its an IGN link...]

And FFIV [one of the best snes rpgs ever [despite being a "lite" version of the game] has just got released over the pond:

Shame about the localised voice "acting", but meh, at least the game will hopefully get the audience it deserves!

[Shu.Kurimu.Sensei]

Wii mote gets the Eneloop treatment! As a big fan of Eneloop technology, this is a very sweet piece of news...

[Ant]

Ooh, that looks pretty good!

Even more goodness: Run Batman run!

Geometry Wars 2 was released yesterday

GW2

It's very very very very lovely. And Pacifism mode is soooo addictive!

[Shu.Kurimu.Sensei]

I hope it has more longevity than the (overhyped imho) first one. Personally, I'd much rather get my game on with Llamatron on the Amiga than Geometry wars any day, on the other hand its good to see more back to basics gaming being developed and pushed, then again its not really a concept that could / should launch yet another gaming "franchise" imho and would have liked to see the team have done something different instead.

[bon3yard]

Does anyone know of a foolproof playstation emulator I can download, the ones I've looked at so far have been hard work to download and install requiring several different download sources. Also, and this may well have been covered at length already...is GTA4 simply too dark in places to see what the hell your doing, or is it just me?

[mockney piers]

anyone played this yet

http://braid-game.com/

lovely game. Taking elements of other games, visuals of yoshis island, that one with the reversing time trick and flashback/oddworld etc, and created a beautiful thing that may not be quite ICO territory, but definitely close to that gaming as art area.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Yep - it's just beautiful. From the moment you realise the game has started (with you in silhouette) to the ideas presented in what appears to be a straightforward platform 2D effort.

This and geometry wars 2 from a week or so back have kept me busy on the console front - classic stuff

[mockney piers]

Yeah, that was a lovely tocuh, hmm nice load screen....oh...the game's started.

[SeanMacGabhann]

ok - look - enough - EVERYONE who can, please get Geometry Wars 2 - I'm dying to compare leaderboards - esp on pacifism mode!

[Shu.Kurimu.Sensei]

N+ for DS

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNVEsWeA5s8

Oh and also, Bakuretsu muteki Bangaioh, a cult hit on the N64 (sold mine for a fortune, heh) and the pirated to death Dreamcast, had a kind of remix sort of thing out on the DS earlier this year, funnily enough it seems its out in English now.

Old skool enough?

Was having a discussion with someone from a company that designs and manufactures chips for Nintendo, and we both came to the same conclusion - the DS is just toooo good! Just what can Nin do to top it????

[SeanMacGabhann]

N+ is great fun

Or at least was until I hit some level from hell which I just can't get past!
