Good job.

Yeah, just discovered that $20 was the new price. I thought it was still a $50 game. They never marked the box as Players' Choice, so I just assumed it was $50.

Hey, is Madden 2005 already a PS2 Greatest Hits game? I saw it recently on the rack at Wal-Mart for $20. Thought it was mismarked.

I don't think its a greatest hit, I think it was just overstock because people found out Madden wasn't all that great and they went more for ESPN NFL and just let the copies of Madden sit on the rack. Too bad that won't happen again.

Krauser is a RE4 boss, Chaltab. You haven't gotten there yet?

Nope. I've been taking it slow, due to school and the like. I use the computer a lot because of the clock: If I were to play RE4 on a school night, I'd be up till 3AM.

The last boss I fought was second Wolverine-Bane fusion guy, and I just rescued Ashleigh from the short man last I played. I got stuck in the Flaming Dragon room and played Budokai III for the rest of the weekend.

Ohmigod, I had forgotten all about Kid Icarus. I used to love that game!

I've never played it, actually, but I hear it's really good, and every "needs new game in series" list has Kid Icarus on it.

Here. Get an idea what it's all about. Kid Icarus. This game has a pretty high number of hits and high ratings on everyvideogame.com.

I think that Nintendo should, and I know this would take a while, but they should remake all the previous Zelda games using the OoT game engine. Zelda 2, with its 2 different views, could turn out being difficult to work out, but I've love to play them all that way.

Yeah... And I'd also like to play Ocarina of Time in ALttP style... But I seriously doubt Nintendo would ever want' to make new versions of every Zelda game.

Like I said, if any Zelda game needs a remake it's the second one. There is so much that could be done with that forumal better on the GBA or DS, and we could finally get a straight answer on whether the Sleeping Zelda is the Zelda from LoZ, or the hypothetical "Ancient Zelda"

It's been rumored for a while now that Nintendo was working on a GC Kid Icarus, but I'm guessing that it might end up on the Revolution or whatever now.

Probably so, that game hasn't had a sequel for a long time though, maybe its just fanboy wishing.

The rumor was started by Kid Icarus's appearance as a Trophy in SSBM.

That was nearly four years ago, so unless we get a stellar Kid Icarus game soon, then I'll agree it was just a rumor.
