    I bumped into mr ultimate in the rage only moments ago. Sadly we're no longer welcome there as a vicious brawl broke out over the last copy of superman on the N64.

    They had a copy of Paper Mario GC on prominent display for 49.95 with 'rare!' on the pricetag.

    Wasnt completely convinced since they had at least two other copies hidden behind other games :pac:

    I think that the Irish Association of Optometrists would take issue with the Condemned C**shots cover!
    I was going to look for a Bayonetta inspired cover but figure the real game is titillating enough!
    I too would rent the Metroid one, to my shame... :(

    Yep. You can use them multiple times too. Reading reviews it seems a lot of people seemed to have missed the point of the crystals.

    I'm pretty sure I found a note by the first one that explained them.

    I don't think they help with hunger though, which I get a feeling is going be a much bigger issue as you get further into the dungeon.

    It seems some folk were only saving their progress using those Crystals too? Feck that, I'm saving after every successful mob defeat using the menu. :o Actually I must read the manual see if it explains more, downloaded it from gog but forgot to look at it.

    Oh dear, the first time I read that I thought you were talking about the Linux distro, not the hat! :o
    Probably still equally applies to them though. :pac:

    For the narrative and character development, I'm sure ;)

    Also we should make our own: DinoSex.

    It did get a PAL release, never seen it in the shops but it should be cheap on amazon, I got it there.

    Just saw it on Amazon myself, seems the place to go for a lot of Wii games since the shops are totally shít

    I've not finished the game myself but I had someone from boards thank me for recommending it to him. Said the combat was rubbish but the narrative and atmosphere made it one of the best gaming experiences ever and the ending was magnificent. Must play it myself... but bloody xenoblade is so long!

    You can't. You can trade them for Wii points but they haven't implimented a way to trade them for 3DS points yet.

    If you've got a bunch of Club Nintendo Coins burning a hole in your virtual pocket, you could do worse than spend them on this month's selection of downloadable games. For April, Nintendo is offering Kenji Eno's WiiWare puzzle game You, Me, and the Cubes; the WiiWare bike retread Excitebike World Rally, and a 3DS-only download of DSiWare shmup Metal Torrent (all right, they can't all be winners).

    As always, these games are also available through your console's online store for regular money, but you have the extra option of trading your fake Club Nintendo currency this month.

    Wow.

    Was DinoRex's development led by George Lucas when he decided the world needed a prequel for Primal Rage after being inspired by what a foley artist did with only a broken windscreen wiper?

    And if that is the case why haven't I seen merchandise, eh?

    DinoRex was created when God had intercoursal relations with a velociraptor. It was an illegitimate birth, and God didn't want to piss off the T-Rex, so he banished his offspring to Earth where an employee of Taito found it on a pillow outside the company offices. Mistaking it for a burrito - DinoRex is Japanese for burrito - he tried to microwave it but the microwave was stopped by divine intervention when only the sound chip had partially melted. Realising his mistake, the employee instead released the game. It languished in obscurity until a bunch of drunken Irish oafs discovered it one eve and formed a small but passionate cult to celebrate its existence.

    This is the word of RAWWWWRRR.

    Went on a half asleep spending spree last night. Weird.

    Woke up to find I had bough aliens infestation for the DS. It's going for an absolute steal on amazon.co.uk, something like £8.99. I should let sleep deprived retr0 do my shopping more often.
