... but sadly, it seems the classics all had a very limited run, here in Europe (or at least here in Holland), cause games like Metroid Prime, and Mario Golf etc, are nowhere to be found.
I'm glad I was still able to pick up Resident Evil 4 and Zelda TP, cause havent come across them since.
... when I first bought it, I just thought it was 'meh'. A few months ago I gave it a 2nd chance, and after playing it a while it really grew on me. The first couple of missions are pretty straight-forward and 'bland', but after a while it gets better.
Sadly, once I reached the better parts, my Xbox died on me. So now I'll have to start all over again.
Same thing with Psychonauts btw. Nearly finished it, and now I gotta re-do everything. Ah well... :)
... no Ninja Gaiden Black!?
NGB is much better than POP or Jade Empire.
I'm a huge kung fu buff, but Jade Empire couldnt hold my interest once the story arrived in the big city with the cemetary.
My top 5 xbox games would be:
- Ninja Gaiden Black
- Rallisport Challenge 2 (best rallygame ever, and definately one of the best racing games ever. Fantastic level-design and atmosphere and gameplay)
- Psychonauts
- Pro Evolutio...
... or does Jack Thompson make me way more violent, agressive and eager to kill lawyers, than any violent videogame ever could...!?
Why is Jack Thompson getting so much attention btw? Isnt he about as relevant as that old granny down the block who frequently calls up TV stations that their commercials are 'too colorfull and flashy'!?
... as long as games do NOT get censored or banned.
Videogames, like all other media, shouldnt be censored.
I'm 31 years old, and if I wanna shoot hookers in the kneecaps before using a chainsaw to cut their heads off, I wanna be able to do that (in a videogame, obviously, cause I dont own a chainsaw in real life...)
... or at least, it should be!
... it had LOTS of stuff and content missing from the overpriced retailversion (70 euro(!) ), and afterwards they are gonna offer you all that stuff that SHOULD have been in there, but you are gonna pay even more for that stuff...(!) No way, man.
Plus, they're releasing different content for different nations, and for different prices, making us Europeans pay way more!
I'll just continue playing my awesome AWESOME Rallisport Challenge 2 on Xbox instead.
... they can put 18+ on a game all they want, but if me and my kid wanna play GTA4, we're gonna play GTA4.
I've taught him values, morals, respect, etc etc.
I've taught him the difference between make-belief and reality.
I've taught him how to treat others, and behave well.
...and I continue teaching him that stuff, by living it, and demanding it.
Videogames do not cause violence, hate, disrespect, etc. Bad parenting does.
Gametrailers.com looks to be down for me (Holland).
Anyway, I hope Ninja Gaiden 2 will also have UNARMED combat.
... so I'll never bother with it.
Seems like it is an enjoyable game, but because they decided it needed to be censored, I'll never experience any of it.
"Drifting is the boldest new addition to Codemasters' repertoire of racing, and the one the team is most keen to get right, because in the words of Fulton, "we haven't seen it done well in any other game."
Not true. Rallisport Challenge 2 has PERFECT drifting.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to this game. Seems like a worthy alternative to Forza and PGR.
... why cant I have niples in my games!?
... and frequently visited church!?
Throughout history, the Bible (and other holy books), and religions has very often been the cause of hatred and killings.
Why not ban The Bible, or at least not allow people to read it, or visit Church!?
Ow no, wait... you cant say THAT, cause THAT would be 'ridiculous'(!)
Videogames arent the problem. It's people like Jack Thompson and channels like Fox'News' that are consistenly ignoring the REAL problems (fail...
... unlike videogames 'being the cause of violence and shootings', which has never been proven, it HAS been proven that Fox'news' is constantly lying, exaggerating, propagandizing(sp?) etc.
They have a very rich history of LYING to it's audience.
... to use these still warm dead bodies of these innocent kids, as a means to spread his lies once more.
Kinda sickening and pathetic. Especially since CNN mentions it's a kid that was on meds and stopped taking them, making this the last in a long list of mass-murderers with a history of mental-instability, and medicine-use.
This is Jack and Fox-'News' abusing dead kids to spread their anti-gaming propaganda BS. I feel the big gaming companies should unite and j...
... but Ken still looks extremely ugly, and they should also fix Ryu's face.
Chun Li looks GREAT though, as well as the other 'classic' fighters.
I dont care about Viper or Abel, designwise. Especially Viper seems way out of the SF2 style.
I really would have preferred Fei Long and Cammy making a return.
... before Jack sniffs his opportunity to jump to his conclusions without knowing what the hell happened, and going on air to share his lies with an idiotic audience.
BTW, CNN says the kid was on medicine or something, and stopped taking them.
... how Jack is always using these tragic evens for his own, personal, ridiculous agenda.
Pretty disrespectful towards the victims, their families, and society as a whole...
...yet, it's Fox-news, so it doesnt surprise me. They have no morals.
... cause here in Holland they are still widely available everywhere.
So they'll probably first replace the ones in the US, and afterwards try the same thing here...
Great commentary, and pretty much exactly the way I feel about the issue (which is probably why I feel it's great ;) )
