@picker332 - it's the opinion of the gaming press. It averages 97% on both GameRankings and Metacritic.

Whether you agree with Nintendo's current hardware strategy or not, Mario Galaxy is one of the best games ever.

This is not worthwhile and shouldn't have been approved.

Still thinking whether I should get a PSP. If I did then this would be first on my list.

Can't wait for WipEout HD, surprised we've not heard more about it lately.

I loved the original Soul Blade (aka Soul Edge). Soul Calibur was good too, but it felt like a carbon copy so wasn't as special to me, even more so with Soul Calibur 2. Now looks like they've totally lost the plot. Although of course this is somewhat different to what has gone before.

For the record Soul Blade had one of the the best intro movies ever.

celticlonewolf is spot on.

If they use half marks, 5/5 does not mean it is without cons and could translate to as low as 91% or as high as 100%.

GameStation are selling the game for £24.99.

It's tempting but the game is not without its problems. I've been away for a few days, has there been more news on the patch?

5/5 doesn't mean it's perfect, just over 80%.

I think it would equate to:

1 star = 1-20
2 star = 21-40
3 star = 41-60
4 star = 61-80
5 star = 81-100

The problem I have with the Wii is that even with 480p though component cables it doesn't look great on a HDTV. The Virtual Console games blur quite badly. Wii compares much better to PS3 and 360 if you're on an old style TV. I'm looking forward to picking up Mario this week.. for me that's going to be a test as to how the Wii will hold up long term.

For me, lack of graphical detail isn't as bad compared low res output.

When you think about artistic games like fl...

Should we be giving the Christians yet more exposure?

Age rating decisions to those who are employed to make such decisions and have actually played the game.

Thanks - that is a step in the right direction.

I suggest a better technique for getting a following on the site is to show everything but force people to register in order to see the download links. Many people will be put off as there is still little to go on.

P.S. I noticed the Joomla favicon is still present in the code, it shows up on my Firefox tab.

Publishers should start focusing on producing fewer but higher quality games. The likes of EA have tremendous resources, but in their haste to release the same titles each year many of the games fail to reach their full potential, scoring in the 6/7/8 range. Compare this with Nintendo who show you can be highly profitable while investing in longer development time to produce top notch games like Mario and Smash Bros.

I hope publishers see the value in offering paid-for patches ...

Publishers should focus on delivering fewer but higher quality games. The likes of EA have tremendous resources but they release so many games year on year that few reach their potential, scoring in the 6/7/8 range, rather than compete with the very best games like Mario.

The cycle of releasing a sequel every year cannot continue and needs to move further towards paid-for downloadable updates.

Deb - What are you drawing?
Napoleon Dynamite - A liger.
Deb - What's a liger?
Napoleon Dynamite - It's pretty much my favorite animal. It's like a lion and a tiger mixed…bred for its skills in magic

I can't believe that site expects you to register without getting a glimpse of the themes beforehand.

As a concept I'm loving the customisability of the PS3. Given a bit more time there will be some really nice themes around.

TVersity works but has had problems since firmware 2.0. They have since released a new version that claims to have fixed this.

On the whole TVersity is excellent and supports photos, music and video. If you do video don't forget to set the resolution to 720p/1080p (you might need a Core 2 Duo and wired network for this).

I have been told Xvid files will work via DivX.

6645d ago 2 agree0 disagreeView comment

This is great news.

As far as I know a lot of videos now use Xvid, which requires separate codecs to DivX, I wonder what the chances of that being included too? As Xvid is free hopefully it will follow soon after.

Edit: I've been told Xvid will work.

On GameRankings Munch averaged 79%, Stranger 87%. They were still very enjoyable but the gameplay obviously changes a fair bit compared to the originals. If even fans didn't buy them the games never stood a chance ;)

In principle I'd agree with you on 2D vs 3D - the latter should only be used when it adds something to the game - but as Mario has proven it can work well in both, and Oddworld was no exception.

The Oddworld series suffered from being too odd, and al...

They released Munch's Oddysee and Stranger's Wrath on the Xbox but sales were not great.

Or maybe you mean another 2D game, as the 3D ones played rather differently.
