Actually I'm pretty sure It's a glorified version of Breakout, not Pong.

Yes, but Pong begot Breakout, similar to the way Colbert' begot Huckabee.

Arkanoids is up.  I played it and realized why I never like it, its a glorified version of Pong.  Boring.

While I'm certainly pleased that the Celtics are kicking ass, the NBA playoffs are still great big piles of steaming poop.

Indeed, the most exciting thing in the series is the talk of Tim Donagues accusation of the NBA rigging past playoff games.

Nintendo Gaming / Re: Nintendo Sues Nyko for Wireless Nunchuk

« on: June 14, 2008, 05:23:14 PM »

I think the wireless nunchuk is a GREAT idea.  Unfortunately, I have no use for it.  Had their been a good boxing, basketball, or baseball game by now, it would definitely come in handy (to keep the wire from smacking my face).  Sadly though, Wii Sports is the best damn sports game we have.

I didn't realize. Those are certainly interesting pack-ins. How is Fight Night itself?

Haha, still haven't played it!  I can't pull myself away from Super Punch Out when I pop it in, I love that game.  But Fight Night 2 did receive excellent reviews.

If its Super Punch Out you want, I'd recommend Fight Night 2 for the Cube.  I picked it up for 7 bux and Super Punch Out was included in the game!  Additionally, once you beat it, you can play as Mac in Fight Night.

As for myself, I'd like to see Extra Innings and Super Mario Kart!

This question may have been asked already, but is anyone finally being pushed over the edge to purchase a PS3 for this game?

Here's an interesting article I read yesterday, about how this is kind of Sony's last stand --> http://thespaceoddity.wordpress.com/2008/06/11/happy-mgs4-eve/

Last stand?  So there really isn't anything else on PS3 for 2008 afterall.

Last stand in terms of HUGE PS3 only games.  Who knows when LBP will appear.

not close, actually a Dallas Cowboys fan to be honest. I just hate the Packers, I would gladly offer up my legitimate reasoning behind the why, but not here.

Alright, even Cowboy fans hate the Packers! 

I can't wait for this season to start, my respect for Farve these past few years has made it tough to wish calamity and destruction upon grown men with cheese on their heads.  This year will be different.

Geometry Wars Wii is now $16.96 at Circuit City.  I'm not even a "shooter" fan, and I HIGHLY recommend this title!

I was sad when I called up and asked if CC had it. They checked and said they were all out. I went there anyway, after work and I found 2 in the budget software bin.

Yeah, you can't expect those lazy teens to dig through that thing, well done!  I also saw Ninja Reflex and Nitrobike in there as well, and I was tempted...but then I realized I would most likely never play them.

I love IGN's podcast with Mark and Matt, I look forward to it ALMOST as much as I look forward to your guy's.

IGN is great for news (they're basically Nintendo's Press Secretary) and RFN is great for analysis, debates, and laughs.  The only other Nintendo centric show I like is Infendo.  Scott and Blake have a great enthusiasm for Nintendo, while still being objective in their praise and criticism.

I went over to ubisoft's forum. The forums are closed till June 9th. My guess is that they are getting rid of all the negative posts.

Yup, they pulled the old "turn the power off" trick.  Genius.

Just snatched a copy of Mario Kart GBA for $16.96 at Circuit City!  This usually goes for 20-30 used, so I was pretty pleased to finally pick it up for such a low price.
