    The virtua cop games are much better games. They might seem boring in comparison because other games like die hard trilogy and time crisis are all flash. Virtua Cop however only shows it's true colours after a few plays. It's an excellent score chaser that requires some very fast and accurate shooting to get a high score.

    Mind you it was solely the first Virtua Cop i played on the PC.

    The 2nd one looks like a great improvement, and one I would actually play.


    The slow zooming in the 1st one wrecks my head.


    Will check out this G-Con device, cheers!


    Edit: Just saw the car chases now in the 2nd Virtua Cop, looks fantastic!

    So Sonic 4 Episode II snuck out when no one was looking. Apparently it has the worst music of all time! Other than that, it appears to be middling at best.

    Oh Sonic, you poor poor bastard.

    I'll take your Sonic 4 Episode 2 music and raise you Marvel vs. Capcom 2!

    And I'll admit the 'love' speech at the end of Serenity also makes me well up a little inside. You really can't stop the signal. Unless you're Fox, in which case you totally can.

    First time I saw Watership Down was in the Stardust the day it burned down. Always freaked me out as a kid that film. Have you seen Plague Dogs? It's probably even worse.

    Not all of them: The Incredibles is too busy being awesome, and Cars 2 is too busy being a steaming turd.

    Most things featuring young people, with good hair, having fun make me upset and wondering where I left my rifle....
    Hipsters will die first, just train my sights on the front door of a Starbucks and let the games begin...

    Didn't anyone shed a wee tear at Spocks alleged demise in Wrath of Khan??

    If anyone has beaten Suikoden 2 then the opening credits are hard to watch... sniff...

    Think the saddest a game has made me feel was definitely the end of Mother 3. You really wouldn't expect such a bleak game from Nintendo. Earthbound was similar although it wasn't really sad.

    Then there's that bit halfway through Valkyria Chronicles. It was manipulative as hell but it got to me :'(

    Even if you've never watched Community before it's well worth watching season 3 episode 20.

    The whole thing was in 8-Bit:
