  3. Your personal games of the year 2006

    Well, this was the year I finished DROD: Journey to rooted hold, which was a very proud and happy moment for me. Apart from that, I did play a bit of Zelda: TP in 2006 but then I didn't think it was as good as I now do. I heartily agree with everyone about HalfLife2: Ep1, Shadow of the Collossus (unbelievablly excellent), New Super Mario Bros, Sam and Max, and Chibi Robo. The Minish Cap was an excellent one too. 2005, though, but shag it.
  4. Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

    I just hope it gets harder. The desert temple was WAY too easy. I'm probably too inured to the Zelda design philosophy to judge this properly, though. I first played TP on the wii, but I didnt get one so I'm playing it on the gamecube. I think I prefer it on the cube. I only got to the first temple on wii but waving the remote around to use the sword was already getting to be drag. woo for stan. HNY.
  5. PlayStation Mayhem

    could you really care less, though?
  6. DS Games

    Aria and Dawn of sorrow are both classics. Get aria first, then dawn, the story is the best in any castlevania game, Portrait is basically the third of the series, and that'll be sweet. The souls and weapons choices make this a bit of an RPG, but only a tad. Music is pretty addictive. Level design is brilliant in that way that only japanese games can be. :tup:
  7. Sam and Max

    I agree. And the buying process was short and sweet, and also featured big, friendly buttons. Got the season and laughed my ass off last night. And I like the way they have so many negatives in the checkbox contact message at the bottom of the buying page - Would you not like to refuse any more contact messages that may or may not be sent to you regarding telltale? If not, do not check this box.
  8. My exciting day!

    I farted a few times.
  9. Peter Molyneux gets homoerotic *snigger*

    What? He's not gay? I always thought he was gay.
  10. Idiots argue about next gen consoles

    they probably just naturally congregate together and badmouth eath others' bosses for cash.
  11. The Wire

    lol brilliant. Now I feel like I can go outside and be the best damn barney I can be. Thanks.
  12. Alan Wake

    He runs like a pansy.
  13. Death in Sakkara

    A Link to a great flash game, for people who don't keep an eye on jayis. The intriguing thing about this, is that it was designed by the BBC's history team, actual journalists historians, and they seem to have put together a really tight little adventure, with nice touches all over the place. I reckon people in lots of other fields would be far better placed to have great design ideas for games than actual games industry people, who tend to draw inspiration from other games (I know this from my brief foray in the industry), rather than, y'know, reality.
  14. Death in Sakkara

    Another game I wont bother making a new thread for, although I really should. It's fucking awesome. Dwarf Fortress. via this guy via this guy. Sort of beats spore to the punch, in a way. But using ascii art.
  15. Movie/TV recommendations

    I think I really want to go see Crank. It seems to be the sorta thing worth seeing in the cinema, i.e. big explosions and crap. Anyone seen it?
  16. New Okami trailer

    yeah, so have any of you lucky US bastards played Okami yet? I'm gonna have to wait till goddamn FEBRUARY!!! And as for DNF - haha.
  17. The Wii's Launch

    I'd have to say no. My nes still works fine.
  18. Who here is in the game industry?

    Y'know the outsider from the bastards at frontier who fired me? It's gonna be crap. Shit GTA clone meets bad tom clancy novel.
  19. Who here is in the game industry?

    quit, for god's sake. The games industry will drive you insane.
  20. Lost in Blue

    I'm really enjoying this, but I got cramps from playing it too much with my 6'3" frame hunched over the DSlite, blowing at the screen and fiddling with the building furniture shit. I'm wasting my life. It's like an RTS crossed with Zelda.
  21. Vivendi re-releases Quest games

    sweet.
  22. Excellent Wii video on .... IGN

    I havent looked at Wii in a while, and now this video and thread have made me completely reverse my point of view on it. It's all sorta crap, and I don't want one any more.
