    you're after reminding me of a story (hope you're sitting comfortably)
    one of my friends saw the ad for LA Noir and asked "did you see that new game out?"
    I goes "which one?"

    Something for me to re-watch over Xmas thank you!

    Did that last xmas... it's still great... well season 1 is anyway.

    The Sugar Club did a brilliant screening of the European pilot for it's 20th anniversary recently. Was brilliant. There were people dressed up, there was a cherry pie bake off and lots and lots of lovely doughnuts and damn fine coffee.

    I'd like to see what SWERY could do with a decent budget. Deadly Premonitions low production values did help though, it seemed like a badly acted and written game but it's really one of the best written and acted games on the last decade. I have a 'back up' of another of SWERY's games Glass Rose on the PS2, I must try it out, consolevania were raving about how good the story is.



    Well people should have voted, I thought there would be a lot more since it was up on the retrogamer forums as well.
    spotted the RG reference there afterwards.
    I'm suprised as I would have pegged HG101 as as load of 'merican console fanboys (literate ones and all but still console gamer0rzz), but I would have thought the RG forum would have upvoted some nice 8 bit stuff.
    Maybe the thread got lost?? Probably a load of Speccy fanboys had it hidden?? (the lack of a decent sound chip must still smart for them even now ;))
    Its a mystery wrapped up in an enigma , and hidden inside a riddle alrighty.

    All great ideas lads! I'll run them by the missus. :pac:

    Speaking of Nintendo Woos, I cleared off an external drive, formatted it to WBFS, dropped a game on and sweet jesus, the modded Wii works just like that. I don't believe it. Too easy!

    I'm currently loading all my legit games on one by one.

    I think that is the first time I've ever said 'legit games' and honestly meant it :pac:

    Oisín do you know if your girlfriend is buying them in brick'n'mortar craft shops or online by any chance?

    I'll have to take a sconse locally for these babies!

    sure they're only clipped in together, the main thing that would be annoying is if you didn't iron it enough and the pegs come off

    I tell you where my girlfriend got them. About a year ago (possibly two actually, I cant remember!) I bought 20,000 from that seller I linked.

    They were sitting idle a few months back so she commandeered them for her school!

    Only just got them back a few days ago.

    Ah I don't mind, seeing children making sprite art is more than worth it.

    As for the girly comment - Axel read it, leapt off my bedroom wall and is currently on his way over to have a word with you. Along with this big blue fellow.

    Sonic CD is out in the apple app store this morning for those interested and possessing the required hardware. €1.59 and 258MB.

    GTA 3 is also out for €3.99 and weighing in at 462MB.

    I think both are universal apps so will work on iPad and iPhone.

    Right, download time.

    Anyone on the Vodafone network notice the download speeds are really good today in Dublin?
    Normally I only get close to these speeds late at night at home when the network is quiet.

    Seriously? That's a really weird thing to release. I know it's a Sonic game, but the vast majority of gamers today have never even heard of a Mega CD. Or else remember it vaguely as some oddity from the 90s.

    I'd download it myself but I've an Android phone.

    Yeah, it's been worked on since 2009 and its a labour of love by Christian Whitehead.

    Check out the basic back story here:
    http://toucharcade.com/2011/12/14/sonic-cd-review/

    And as The Great Chinholio says, its out on android as well.


    Also just got Bug Princess and the graphics are really bad and blurry on the iPad and iPad 2. It really looks like the just badly up-scaled the iPhone 3GS graphics for the iPad's.

    I also got EspGaluda II HD for the iPad 2 this morning and that just looks great .

    That Espgaluda II HD release is an absolute shafting from Cave. :mad:
    1. It's for iPad 2 only. Ridiculous.
    2. It's $13.99... or $6.99 per version.
    3. Somewhere down the line they'll start charging for in-game DLC, like they did with Deathsmiles iOS.
    4. It should have been a free upgrade. Why do you have to buy it twice?

    I'll stick with the SD version on my iPad 1 and the XBOX 360 version thanks. :)

    I think Bug Princess was designed for IPhone specifically, and that the IPad friendly controls were just added as a quick bonus so they don't have to go to the expense of upressing it!

    I'll give it a download later on the father's IPad - first Cave IOS game I'm interested in since there's no easily available console version and comes at the right price. The device is being wasted on Tiger Woods games and Paper Toss :P
