Did you see the X-Play show tonight? Hilarious!

My basic cable is too stupid to realize what a huge asset Tech TV would be.

It is the main reason I am not pressuring my dad to switch to cable.

BTW, I've been playing Brothers in Arms for about 2 hours now and I must say its one of the best WWII games to come out since the arcade classic 1942.

I just beat Minish Cap and I must say it's a great play, up there with RE4 on my Game of the Year contenders.

I played the original but all the hacks I used kept crashing the game so I gave up.

Well. I predicted it and it came true. It sucks.
I could tell from the trailor that it was going to suck. Curse Atari!

Of course, the Gamcube gets screwed over here: Chaos Theory.

Why does a company that normally does good work like Ubisoft give the GC a crappy support? It is already in last place in sells FCOL!

From the Digital Bits...

Buena Vista has announced a slate of five films in UMD format for playback on Sony's handheld PSP game system. The titles include National Treasure, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, Reign of Fire, Kill Bill, Vol. 1 and HERO. Specific release dates are unavailable, other than that they're expected this spring. Additional UMD/PSP titles will likely be announced by the studio later in the year.

"You fell victim to one of the classic blunders, the most famous of which is 'Never get involved in a land war in Asia'."

Well, I already stated my opinion on why this sort of thing happens with Nintendo, but we don't have to get into that. I agree, though. Ubisoft is one of those companies who really seems to pride themselves on releasing first-class products, not bug-infested rushjobs or half-assed throwaway titles. This is very strange indeed.

Think Nintendo wanted to rush the title out there? Think there's compatibility issues that forced this to happen?

And is Chaos Theory a good game? I was thinking of getting it.

Any other PC games or PS2 games that I should get? Especially bargain bin titles. I love finding good deals on games.

For PS2, definitely get Beyond Good and Evil and maybe Colin McRae 2004, both are at bargain bin prices.

For the PS2 you can't go wrong with the Rachet and Clank or Jak trilogies. Infact, If there's a PSP Rachet and Clank, I think it will sell the system for me.

There is also Final Fantasy X and Devil May Cry 1 and 3. But DMC2 is only average.

A lesser-known ps2 game I always thought was cool was "Mark of Kri" - you can probably find it new for 10 beans. It also has a sequel I think coming out pretty soon.

I know someone said they played it, but who has played Doom 3 for xbox? How good is it? How much replay value does it have?

Budokai 3 was pretty good though, they really dropped the ball on that one.

Budokai 3 gave me hope for the future of Anime games.

Sagas destroyed it. Besides. Dragonball Z and GT are both over. The release of the game was terribly terribly timed.

Too bad I've already played it and was tired of it by Jan.

We're overdue for an Ocarina of Time-caliber classic.
