TalkBack / Re: Metroid: Other M Review

« on: October 18, 2010, 11:17:15 AM »

I've rented it from GameFly and while I have enjoyed the three or so hours I've played, I found that I couldn't get into the mood to start playing again. Seems that I had to nearly force myself to do so. Perhaps it's my mind telling me that this is what the game mostly is.

Fate had other plans for me and the power and Internet were out the whole time. 


Oh well, maybe next time.

Ah, I particularly like the section on using guides to get through a game, and agree that needing help to get through is a lot better than being stuck and not able to finish. Overall, it was another top-quality episode.

Nice... even though I'm unable to go. Is this Golden Sun's first time in public?

I wouldn't be surprised if Zach called in sick to work today and in the next Newscast spends 20-plus minutes talking about Shantae. 


Also, gotta admit that racing title has intrigued me a bit.

Nice review. Once I heard that this game is kinda like Rogue Squadron on the recent Newscast, I thought I may likely try this one out, even if it's just a day or two rental.

Ah, the discussion on Minecraft at the end was quite awesome. I'm unfamiliar with it now but I may check it out after hearing you guys talk about it.


I also like how everyone referred to LotG:TOoG as "the owl game" because A. the title is too long or B. everyone's too lazy to say the full title.


One last thing: was Pocahontas for Game Boy actually quite good or were they just joking? In any case, another great episode guys.

Man, I went 0 for 5 again. I even missed game 4, which I played quite a bit of and even liked the soundtrack a bit. Oh well, I still enjoyed the tunes and the occasional blows that TYP and Jonny took at each other.

Trauma Team - 9/10


Played the game recently and had a lot of fun, so it'll be a contender for my top 10 games of the year. Have to give props to its length; took me over 25 hours from start to finish. =D

« on: September 29, 2010, 09:49:39 PM »

So they were planning on releasing it this year! A shortage of units would be pretty bad though, as I'm sure victims of the Wii drought from three and a half years ago can probably relate to.

James' ears perked a little when this was announced, I bet.


Haven't played any of the Tales games, but I've heard good things. Perhaps this'll be a chance to hop on.

Genius Sonority also brought us the two Pokemon RPGs for GameCube, which I enjoyed a fair bit, unlike a good number of critics. 


The wireless peripheral does sound intriguing and the new Kirby game also looks appealing. Wonder how both will turn out.

That screenshot is from the 3DS game? Wow, looking quite nice.


The Mercenaries mode gave me a good amount of fun in RE4 for the Wii, so I'll keep an eye on this one. Maybe you can preorder one and get a bonus for the other with this and RE: Revelations.

« on: September 29, 2010, 11:33:34 AM »

I checked the video on the game's website; wow, it is looking impressive. The fact that the 35 characters can be put in this version might showcase how much power it has. I've played the hell out of the 360 version but I may just pick this one up everything comes out next year.

TalkBack / Re: Sonic 4: Episode 1 Price and Release Date Announced

« on: September 28, 2010, 05:55:13 PM »

So given that the average number of titles in these episodic games is 5, does this mean we'll be paying more than full retail price for this one? Interesting...

Nintendo Gaming / Re: Wii Remote Plus?

« on: September 24, 2010, 12:33:16 PM »

So will it be any less expensive than a Wii Remote and MotionPlus seperately? Will this lead to discontinuation of MotionPlus? Was this in response to the design of the PlayStation Move? Quite a number of questions have come up now...

Sounds like they want to turn it into the next Wii Play.

Huh, that's exactly what I was thinking.

Nintendo Gaming / Re: Virtual Boy and How It Compares to 3DS

« on: September 22, 2010, 04:19:25 PM »

Yeah, some skeptics are saying that the 3DS will just be a repeat of the Virtual Boy. Then again, one can't help but think a bit more when they realize that dozens of third-parties are already prepping titles for the system, as was shown at E3. Whether or not it's the successor to the DS or a variation, as the DSi seems to be, has yet to be determined.

A Street Fighter game that plays like Professor Layton. That's what immediately came to my mind.

Nice to see that the game looks quite fun and that they're not just relying on nostalgia. Definitely getting this in a few months when it comes out.

I wish her the best of luck in her next position. 

But on another note, will Jon make his Cammie voice in the next RFN as a send-off to her?

Quite a nice episode and I do agree with the segment on downloads. It seems we're getting to the point where we're just happy to see one Virtual Console or half-decent looking title, doesn't it?

I picked up Metroid Prime Trilogy for the first time in months last night. 10/10, enough said.

And on Pedro's decent score, I rented Despicable Me: The Game, and I agree with his score of 7. Not the most entertaining or longest game, but it held my interest for the five or so hours to play it to the end.

« on: September 17, 2010, 07:33:41 PM »

Ah, I went 1 for 5 this time, well at least it's better than I did last time.

It's strange that I got the fourth game, because I just took a wild guess by remembering what was said on Newscast some time back and the tone of the selected songs.
