Wow, skyman8081, that looks really good. I don't usually like this real-time strategy games - except for Age of Empires II, which I was heavily addicted years ago - but I might take a look on this one, looks kinda cool.

And now for something completly different: tomorrow Bomberman DS will be released! I became a Bomberman fan way back in the SNES era, with it's fun multiplayer feature. Then, I got the chance to play the N64 version, which had the most fun multiplayer mode EVER for a console (maybe as fun as Goldeneye64). I hope this DS version maintains the fun aspects of the game, with a good single player mode and a extremly fun multiplayer mode...

Chaltab, I can hardly wait for the nintendo wi-fi network to become operacional so I can challenge you! You better get some practice 'cause I'm gonna kick your ass!

I will. What game are we talking again?

Also, from what I have heared Goldeneye DS is going to be as straight-as-possible of a port of the console versions of Rogue Agent, so I seriously doubt it will be any good.

Whatever game you want, we could use download play anyway...

But Goldeneye DS must have a great multiplayer mode...

The reviews are saying it's alright, at least for the Mulitplayer mode. I might pick it up... but it's not online.

I traded in a bunch of crappy racing game to EB today(I only got 20 bucks of credit at first) but they were doing a promotion that would more than double your credit if you got "Destroy All Humans" so I ended up getting that and a Street Fighter Controller.

So far its a pretty fun game, its definitely worth at least a few rentals.

Is it fifty dollars? There's no way I'm paying that much for it, but I'll probably rent it next chance I get.

Like I said, it boosted our measly 20 bucks trade in credit up to 65, so I'm not complaining.

But if I had to *pay* for it, I wouldn't.

I'm still kicking myself for buying Devil May Cry 3 for 45 bucks. It's not a bad game, but it's just so flipping hard I never play it. Hopefully I can have a yardsale soon because trying to sell used games at a GS or EB is stupid.

I bought Farcry for $20 and EB tried to buy it off of me for 3...

Valve is going to release a "lost stage" for HL2 very soon, featuring some major developments in the lightning engine (which my video card will NOT be able to show ), so expect a huge download on Steam very soon. There are some "HL3" rumors going on, about it being released quite soon using HL2 Source engine, but I doubt it.

Right now, I'm addicted to GTA:San Andreas. Unfortunally my PC is not helping, the whole thing dosen't run as smooth as it should, and I'm not such a good player so it gets very frustrating when I fail the missions over and over again...

Don't get me started on SA, it's the worst of the 3 and i have 96.25% of the completed so far trying to get the girlfriends all done with.

It's a pain that game it's so painfully hard and annoying.

Of all the "GTA3" games, my favorite still is Vice City. Mostly because of the plot, the city, the cool missions, the characters and the voice actors.

I agree, Vice City is the best all around IMO.

But after spending so much time with SA, I'd say its a real close second.

I've said it many times, GTA3 (or GTA: Liberty City to be precise) is still the best of them all.

Well, IMO they're all a bit over-rated. I like San Andreas the best because of the Jetpack. Makes it easier to get back to where you started your mission in the event there's no taxi available, and because of the slightly improved hand to hand fighting.

But I agree with Sess and Ric that the city design in Vice City is the best.
