Yeah, I got to the point where she gives you the crooked sword my first time through. But I fell off the game and when I went back many times much later I've never been able to get to that fight with her (I'm assuming you mean the frirst fight with her where you save the other gal).

I know all of the story there, though, as I watched a friend beat most of the later game.

I wasn't saying the motion controls were good. I just already knew those were bad and wanted to know what else was bad about it.

I was specifically wondering about the CG scenes because I remember a trailer that showed the Prince finding Farrah unconcious for the first time and asking "Do you remember me?" as he turned into the Dark Prince. Farrah awoke and sprung back drawing he bow and releasing. Then the video cuts back. I never saw that scene in the Wii game.

Yeah, I don't remember that cutscene from the GC version.  It's probably just a pre-release teaser, just as Warrior Within had a pre-release trailer that showed Farah dead and the Prince ripping her medallion from her neck and facing down a room-full of enemy soldiers.

I remember that one too. I never finished Warrior Within though so I never thought much of it assuming it was a flashback or something.

I've been meaning to try and go through the whole trilogy at some point. Partly to finish WW and also because I like the first and third a lot. But every time I go back to WW I get frustrated and stop. I never could grasp the fight mechanics and would randomly launch myself off of objects and enemies into pits.

Were there cut scenes removed from the GC version? I remember seeing some videos I never saw on the game.

What about the Wii version made it worse (not counting the motion controls)?

I once made an account named "elaP."  I think it was banned.  I put a negative color filter over Pale's avatar, and mirrored it, as well.  I don't remember what else was up with it, but the origin was that Pale started taking my points, and I was winning

Isn't that an abuse of Mod Powers, though? You should get some reparation bonus points for that. I'll give them to you. How many sound fair for that? 10? 20? I'll give you 42.

Nope, whatever BnM has.  He excludes everyone below him.

...Or does he?

Except EasyCure retook the 10th spot from BnM. BnM can't be too far behind, though.

I'd like to nominate Prince of Persia:  Two Thrones / Rival Swords.

I think most of us have played the excellent Sands of Time, but after the horrible sequel, a lot of us skipped out on the third game.  It's *almost* as good as the original (from what I hear) so I'd be interested in checking it out.

I'll second that. I loved it. Not as much as the first, but I feel it righted all the wrongs the second one made. And the insta-kills are sweet. I don't think I even scratched the surface of those. Supposedly every standard enemy can be insta-killed if you do it right.

Would that one be on the GC poll, do you think?

Has nothing to do with that.

Client I was highered specifically to help with canceled their contract. I'm not the only one getting little to no hours. Besides, I'm allowed to use the internet. So long as I make a patrol every hour and watch the cameras it is all good. That is what I was told. I don't normally work here anyway. I'm the official cover guy for this site when the two main guys are not available.

« on: July 19, 2009, 02:56:36 AM »

i had speakers like that. They aren't very good and somewhat silent, and you will NEVER hear them if your outside.

I was considering buying a pair off of eBay but the shipping for the ones I saw were pretty high since they are coming from the UK. And I had hoped to use them with my iPod. If they sound like that I'm probably better off getting a cheap local pair. The Conduit-ASE design is really neat and novel, but not worth $20 in my current financial state.

If I could pick a second it would be Red Steel. I want the first exclusive M+ game to prove that the Wii userbase has taken kindly to the accessory.

I have no idea how that hint relates. There are no Pokémon or e-Reader games which suit those letters.

It's not about that, Mop it up. I'll go ahead and share my theory I'm trying to get UncleBob to confirm. I'm too tired and am going to bed in a few minutes as I just got home. Consider myself out for this round (unless by tomorrow when I get to work you still haven't gotten it)

The hint was Pokemon Acropolis or whatever. You look on Wikipedia and the only thing that stands for is an expansion in the pokemon card game.

First conclusion I came to: Ah, the only pokemon card game is on the Game Boy Color. Therefore the system the games are on is the GBC. After following some leads there that turned to dead ends I returned to the article and read about that specific expansion. It used the e-reader cards.

Second conclusion I came to: Ah, the e-card reader was for the GBA. Therefore they must be GBA games. All I found were leads to dead ends.

Take that as you will and happy hunting to you all.

I finally got around to trying out a few custome campaigns. I can confirm that both "Dam It" and "Death Aboard" are worth the download.

Are they free?

I think the next Wave Race would do well by adding other water vehicles. I would really like to race a jet ski against a power boat.

And they could it Wave Race: Aqua Thunder.

Makes me think of Hydro Thunder.

ExciteAqua maybe?

Wow, this is a well done game. Probably the best shooter on the 360.

It's my next PC purchase. I love playing this game. But I'm done with playing it in an internet cafe, I have a nice new computer that can run it so it is the next thing I am spending money on.

Supposedly there is a new update for it that was released but I've yet to read what it does. I'll report on it once I get home in an hour or so if no one else does it by then.

I don't think I can back you up on Metroid 2 since I don't support games which are boring.
