    I got mariokart :) and I already have viewtiful....your missing out , have you been naughty or nice ?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,590 ✭✭✭lordsippa


    No. First get your hands on some top of the line ice-boxes... then shoot your parents and sell their organs to triad or the mafia or some black market agency. THEN go buy whatever you want. :)

    I got Mario Kart but i feel your pain anyway. poor ol' sod.


  • Registered Users Posts: 18,484 ✭✭✭✭Stephen


    Just go out and buy them yourself you bum!


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,503 ✭✭✭Makaveli


    I too got Mario Kart.
    Viewtiful Joe was non existent in the shops though. :(

    eggselent

    i finally got my gamecube:)
    metroid prime, resi 0 & mario sunshine now.

    ssx tricky, eternal darkness & mortal kombat sometime in the new year.
    i'll hopefully borrow a mates copy of viewtful.

    metroid prime:
    i've waited for this game for 9-10 years, the wait was well worth it for the moment i spotted ridley flying overhead in that ice drifty placeww)

    Just ordered Resident Evil 0 from play for £9.99.
    I've got enough games for it now to last me a good while.
    Still wanna get Viewtiful though and F-Zero GX.


    Why is the pound sign coming up as a j?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,339 ✭✭✭✭tman


    resi 0 seems to be good so far, the only real complaints i have are the sluggish animation, and the limited inventory space...

    i'd say it's well worth £10, i payed £17 for it a couple of weeks back :(

    The limited inventory space is to make it a little bit harder.

    It's actually easier because you can drop stuff and then pick it up later, so no long chest runs!

    Resident Evil on invisible mode on hard with only one chest! Thats hard!

    I find Resi really hard sometimes, mainly due to the fact i play for a little bit then get scared and turn it off, but on that level is something else.

    Didn't get any either but then again I have all the ones I want (It's terrible knowing some one in the business :D )

    However I was expecting FFX-2, r-type final and dodonpachi but silly parents are being too cautious with the credit card and wouldn't give me it until it was too late. I cud get my own but I'm just too damn lazy.

    I got XIII.
    It's very good indeed so far.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,277 ✭✭✭DiscoStu


    no games but i did get 200eurons, now do i turn to the dark side an complete an unholy trinity of the ps2, gamecube and xbox? or do i buy a wireless adsl router and become able to enjoy using the internet while sitting on the crapper?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,920 ✭✭✭✭Gummy Panda


    Um.... porn on the toilet or another console??

    Hard choice.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,339 ✭✭✭✭tman


    omfg, metroid prime is so sweet!:)
    didn't think much of it at first, i'm glad that i've ignored my other games and just focused on this.

    i need to backtrack and find some more energy tanks now
    :dunno:
    the wave beam is so goddamned seckseh!

    /edit.
    oh yeah, do you have to scan everything to get 100%, or is that just related to items???
    i don't think i scanned one of the bosses :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,005 ✭✭✭Creature


    I got XIII(cube) and F-Zero GX. By Zeus' beard F-Zero is piss hard. XIII is good fun so far.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 371 ✭✭the_corpo


    am tempted by that xiii malarkey


    anyone notice any good bargains in the sales??


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,571 ✭✭✭✭Dont be at yourself


    www.game-retail.co.uk have their offers online. Prices are in sterling, but just multiply by .7 to get an estimate in real money.

    Both Viewtiful Joe and Mario Kart are in the sale. And X2: Wolverine's Revenge for a tenner? Can't go wrong, really!

    I'll probably pick up Soul Calibur 2, Mario Kart and THUG today.


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,778 ✭✭✭✭Kold


    Yes but I don't have a credit card... Unless I actually go ahead and kill my family..

    What’s that new GC star wars game like?

    I bought GC Fifa 04. I must admit that its pretty hard for a Fifa game, almost impossible to penetrate the oppositions box.


  • Posts: 15,814 ✭✭✭✭ Cadence Glamorous Signboard


    I got a Gamecube and Super Monkey Ball, Pikmin, Starfox Adventures, Deender, Freekstyle, NBA Street Vol 2 and Agressive Inline.

  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 50,778 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    Got Rez for 30 yoyos in game on grafton street. Also the brillant Beyond Good and Evil is going for 30 yoyos in game as well as Shadow Hearts. Somebody please buy the two shadow hearts on game henry street before I buy them. I've enough games to be playing without getting caught up in another RPG series.
