absolutly brilliant game. Hopefully the HD remake of the first 3 games is true
If it is ill be buying a copy come release day, only downside is they will probabaly bundle the gamecube version of mgs1 (lot of complaints about shooting in first person making the game too each and also some dialog changed and the mgs2 cast used to record all the dialog opposed to the original cast)

Have you ever played them? I think it was you who said they weren't as bad as everyone made out?

Nope I said HG101 had an article up about them (a damn good one with original developer interviews and everything) talking about how they are decent games and unfairly ridiculed. Can't say I played them myself.

at the very least the music was quite good in them.


If you've seen the AVGN review of them, this is played throughout his video. Memorable

Picked a GC a short while back (was only after OEM GC pads for Wii MKart, but hey!), so now making progress with Super Smash Bros. Melee and Star Wars Rebel Strike ...and now I can feel the retrogaming demon sneaking menacingly closer and closer again, as I find myself lurking AES and PC-Es on fleabay with alarming regularity.

I blame this

I lurk a fair bit every now and then, just don't get time to post much at all I'm afraid

I'm in regular touch with Lemming since he only lives a figurative stone's throw away these days (would you believe!), but same story there, I just don't get time for airsoft, much as I'd like to. Must be the second time I've had to cancel an outing with him at the 11th hour, always due to work matters

Whatever gaming I manage to do these days is 90% of the time with my daughter (6), usually Nintendo fayre (Wii/GC/DSI XL) although we completed Halo 3 and Reach on Legendary in coop over Xmas, and we are now making our way through Halo 3 again on Heroic in coop ...don't fancy your chances much, when she eventually graduates to flying FPSes solo, she's already asked me about C:S Source she's seen me play with bots, and she manages BF2 SP with 64 bots on her own just fine

Well, Mrs doesn't approve of course (although naturally I turn off any blood/swearing/etc. as much as settings allow, and there's a reason why I won't let her play online at all ). But then that buys the Mrs coffee-supping/feet-up/Facebook time, so it's really a case of "can't have your cake and eating it" I'm afraid

She's reading really well by now, so there's a full collection of EDGE she can start making her way through very soon

Not to mention RPGs!

Could do a play through of something like Chrono Trigger. Would almost be like reading a book together. I wish I'd played that when I was a young lad. Would have loved it.

As for the topic at hand, got another hour of Steel Batalion in last night. Absolutely loving it. It so punishing, but the moment my mech is destroyed I just power up another one and go again. Only managed to get up to level 4 so far...you really have to have the damn escape button on the ready too! If you die once that's it, all the way back to the start. Feckin' evil so it is!
