[Nosferat2]

Ill pass on Donkey kong,
Ima stick with RE4 and MP Echos until Killer 7 and Giest comes out.

[Mario]

Your loss.

[PaLaDiN]

Yeah, Donkey Kong is awesome.

[Nosferat2]

Probably it is my loss, but ignorance is bliss and i choose to remain ignorant. Im sure i will survive the "loss".

Has anyone played Splinter cell yet.? I have never played any of those games and am wondering if the new one is any good. Thanks.

I would love to get Jungle beat but I do not have the money. I only have about Ā£15 (approx $30) what can I get that is fun? my life has become bordem stewed for 8 hours with extra cabbage. I spent the rest of my money on my summer holiday (to Maroco). And I have a little saved for Legend of Zelda.

I have allways thought that the controls were fiddly but the bongos make it sound even harder. All your belly aching about your wrists has now really put me off it. I am very lathargic (I only just keep healthy by eating 1000kcal instead of 2000kcal.) To reiterate a) I have never liked DK b) the controls sound hard and tireing and c) why bother getting some bongos I am never going to otherwise use.

Such a change of heart..........Wonder why.........?

Okay so its a little strange but as you must have seen by now so am I. My main reasoning is because all the people I have talked to (ones off the Internet as well) have told me to get it. True love to get it is to strong a word perhaps "feel that it would be more correct and would add to my growing list of nintendo exclusives" would be more appropriete. I still have reservations about the game but that little annoying person inside me is desperately hoping this Donkey Kong game will be different. Still can you suggest to me a nice shiny newish game costing Ā£15 ($30) for me? Please?

[IceCold]

There are many good (and new) games on offer online but I don't think they ship them to the UK

C&C Generals has dropped to ten Euros here, should be able to find a good deal on that. I also found Arena Wars for a fiver recently but I doubt you're going to get it that cheap (good game though, I think 15GBP is pretty close to the MSRP). Also, Perimeter is great but that requires a quite beefy PC.

[Miyamoto Osaki]

No idea, you will have to wait until you get paid i guess.

[kirby_killer_dedede]

Geist will mosh you.

If you like short games once in a while that you can kill on a weekend day that arent overly frustrating, I would recommend the first Pikmin, Beyond Good and Evil, and Eternal Darkness, these are my favorites. The last one is a bit more work than one sitting though.  

[Gamebasher]

One warning on Beyond Good and Evil:

When you face the last Boss in the game, the developer switches the controls completely around so that you wind up going left when pushing the control stick right, and right when pushing it left! Something which made me so messed up in my head during playing that I couldnĀ“t finish the game or properly coordinate my real-life movements in day-to-day situations for 1/2 Hour afterwards!

It was really an ackward feeling, and one which I regard completely unnescessary, and far from usefully "inventive"! There is simply too big a chance that some gamers will sustain bad side-effects from such control issues and this should be avoided thus, for it is NOT normal to do so. Right should be right, and left should be left in my opinion. One should not mess around with peoples sense of direction.

I am still furious at that end of an otherwise outstanding game, and will probably not play any more of games coming from that developer, if they continue to twist the difficulty in such an annoying manner at the end of games. I do like to be able to complete a game, and know I have seen all of it (I also had a problem with the ending of Rayman 2, from same developer (Michael Ancel/UBISOFT) where I continued to die nomatter how many times I tried (even with the best guides) because of an annoying camera which made it impossible to complete the last Boss battle).

So now you have been warned, in case you also get a negative side effect of this crazy switch of the controls!

[TMW]

HEY!!  Gamebasher! They have Spoiler tags for a reason!

Cover that up, or something.  You think that might be part of the surprise of the boss battle?

[IceCold]

"I couldnĀ“t finish the game or properly coordinate my real-life movements in day-to-day situations for 1/2 Hour afterwards"

Wow - first the whole seizure DS thing and then this? You must have a serious medical condition.

[mantidor]

I need advice, Id been wanting to get pikmin or pikmin 2 for a very long time, but didnt have the money, now I have it, but I dont know if I should only get pikmin 2 or if its really worth it to get both.

[vudu]

Pikmin 2 is better in every way possible.  It's longer, there are more game modes, there is more strategy involved (thanks to the two character aspect and the addition of underground caves) and the graphics are slightly improved.

That said, I still like the first one more.  There was just something charming about it that sticks with me.  However, if you play the second one without playing the first one, your experience may vary.  The worst thing about the first one is no matter what your playing style is, you can't put more than 8-10 hours into it due to the time limit (unless you play and don't save at the end of the day).  If that's a big turn off for you, definitely get the second one.

However (in the US at least) Pikmin is only $20 and Pikmin 2 is still $50 in most places.  So price might be a factor for you.  I'm not sure about prices in Colombia.

[mantidor]

its so damn expensive here I manage to get Eternal Darkness at roughly$30 dollars, and thats because I was lucky, it seems that it will be just Pikmin 2 for me, I need the extra money for my DS.

[kirby_killer_dedede]

Well if what happened to Gamebasher becomese a popular condition, the Rev will screw us all over.

I haven't bought a new game since I got Baten Kaitos in January, I haven't had any time.  I'm looking for something short and sweet that ISNT platforming (most of my games are, and I'm sick as hell of it).  I'm thinking about that new Hulk game...

EDIT: And I don't want to chop too much out of my Rev fund...

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

Get Battalion Wars.
