I really dont like to say this , but I am not the only person on this board who feels this but POP is OVERrated.

It is a good game , but it is in noway on par with VJ or any of the other GOTY nominees.

I think that will be the case. I was browsing at DVDcrave.com.au, and they had Puyo Pop Fever listed for PS2 and Xbox, but no GC.

Oh yeah, I went past Melbourne House today, and there was an "Atari" sign in front of the building. I wanted to ram right into it!

TIME TO CAUSE BILL ANGST! CAAAAAAAPSLOOOOOOOCK! hrhrhrhrhr

Akdaman: I really liked PoP because I completely forgot that I was playing the game. I know that doesn't make much sense, but it is one of the most immersive adventure games I've played recently, albeit brief.

akdaman1 · « **Reply #80 on:** February 23, 2004, 01:59:10 PM »

Yeah I loved it too but the fighting is not very deep , I thought that new additions or moves will be unlocked but nothing came.

Also I am up for a release date thread. With Mario as the release date guy.

Mario · « **Reply #81 on:** February 26, 2004, 08:38:34 PM »

Oddly enough, the new EA bond game Everything or Nothing, was only out here on GameCube, the GCN version came out like a week ago, and the Xbox and PS2 versions just came out today. Also, apparently the game is really hard to find, on all platforms. How odd!

Beyond Good & Evil came out today. True story. I'll be too busy not buying it to buy it though, oh well.

RABicle · « **Reply #82 on:** February 26, 2004, 10:16:49 PM »

Will buy Beyond Good and Evil as soon as possible.

Uncle Rich AiAi · « **Reply #83 on:** February 26, 2004, 10:42:56 PM »

still hoping Puyo Pop Fever gets a Oz release

......

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.....

akdaman1 · « **Reply #84 on:** February 26, 2004, 11:08:08 PM »

I just bought F0 and from what I have played so far the game is on par with VJ ( in my opinion )

I will give an updated impression later ....Raw on in a minute ....ciao.

Ugh, wrestling.

My gaming thirsts are quenched until I get my hands on MGS in April.
Unlike all of you, I can stay calm during gaming droughts

I haven't played my Gamecube (or the SNES i borrowed for that matter) for a bit more than a week now.

*runs for life away from mob*

I went without playing my gamecube from May 12th to October 17th ( From when I got sik of Zelda and bought Viewtiful Joe )

Uncle Rich AiAi · « **Reply #87 on:** February 28, 2004, 09:57:25 PM »

I went thru a 10 month period of playing no games in 1998!

Beat that!

akdaman1 · « **Reply #88 on:** February 28, 2004, 10:57:29 PM »

Yeah well I didnt play any games from 1990 to 1994.

Uncle Rich AiAi · « **Reply #89 on:** February 29, 2004, 12:05:42 AM »

yeah, but you were TOO young to play games at that point! lollin'

Mario · « **Reply #90 on:** February 29, 2004, 12:46:20 AM »

I didn't play one videogame from 1920 until 1993.

And uh yeah, i haven't been playing my GCN much this year either, i play about 20 minutes of AC every few days, if that counts

Shift Key · « **Reply #91 on:** February 29, 2004, 12:55:35 AM »

What about games in general?
The longest I've gone without playing games of any sort recently would have been about 2 months, from the start of November to the end of December, when I had Uni exams/lots of work/life stuff to occupy me.

Uncle Rich AiAi · « **Reply #92 on:** February 29, 2004, 12:57:20 AM »

I was talking about all games in general Shifty!

That was when I was doing year 12. Arghhhh, painful memories....

Termin8Anakin · « **Reply #93 on:** February 29, 2004, 05:33:57 PM »

Longest I ever went without was a year. We had sold off the SNES so I could buy a N64, but since it wasn't enough to buy that and a game, I had to wait to see if I got into the maths advanced class before mum would give me the extra money to buy it, and that was at the end of the year, so yeah ;__;
no games for meeee!

Did you get into advanced maths ? And if you didnt ... did you revert to stealing ?

ANGST ANGST ANGST, the only place Puyo Pop seems available for Gamecube is the atari.com.au website, but unfortunatly they don't have an online store. fail. even though they did, what ever you order they would send you Driver 1 ;___;, DVDcrave only has the ps2 and xbox versions, it's not to be found in EB, so damn pathetic.

fail yet again.

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #96 on:** March 02, 2004, 06:12:26 PM »

Agreed. ;__;
I was so looking foward to the colourful insanity of Puyo Pop. Spose I'll get the inferior PS2 version next week, if there's even any copies of that version left. Which I doubt. So there we have it, Atari Australia have screwed up every Sega game on GameCube (excluding Sonic Adventure 2, Virtua Striker and Monkey Ball. They were launch titles).

I don't seem to be playing much at the moment. I've got all these games that need lovin', but I just can't be stuffed. I think I've played more of PilotWings 64 than anything else lately. Skydiving and Cannonball are addictive ++!

Uncle Rich AiAi · « **Reply #97 on:** March 03, 2004, 12:12:22 AM »

Is there any chance of DVDCrave importing Puyo Pop Fever from Europe? Heck, I'm not even sure if Europe is getting it?

I need more Sega lovin'....

Shift Key · « **Reply #98 on:** March 09, 2004, 05:11:51 PM »

I saw the latest Hyper yesterday with a review of the "We haven't forgotten to release it, really!" 1080 Avalanche. They gave it a 77%, which was what I expected.

GOTM went to Everything or Nothing, with a 90% I think. Once again, not surprised at all, considering the drought of decent games at the moment.

I also see that EBgames.com has TTS and HM:AWL for US$40 ---> points to a reduced price here, hopefully!

akdaman1 · « **Reply #99 on:** March 09, 2004, 10:48:10 PM »

Oh GoD I just found the most underrated game in Lost Kingdoms. Now I know its not Final Fantasy but reviews made it out to be a complete bomb , a disaster, a utter failment.

In all honesty it wasnt too bad , a bit on the short side and summon bosses such as the Enchanter are really annoying but its not a bad game.

Highly reccomended.

P.S - Can someone suggest to me a few games ? ..I need a few new games but I dont know what to get ...im thinking 1080 , Skies and Ikaruga but I will probaly never find any of them ...even in America.
