    Rygar on arcade is only ok, was never too fond of it. Rygar on the NES though is amazing, one of those NES games were they didn't decide to copy the arcade game. It's like a mix of zelda with side scrolling bits and works great.

    "In other news, Sony announce they are going to break into the console market with something they call a Play Station."


    but seriously it is a great concept, a console that doesnt just pander to the CoD generation of gamers is always welcome.
    it's only my 2nd Kickstarter backing, the other being Redux: Dark Matters for the Dreamcast

    Prometheus, damn good movie :)
    Not perfect but none are and I'm glad I eventually got to see it in the cinema.

    Don't read the spoiler if you've not seen the movie.
    I was trying to discuss with my girlfriend the whole "what (supposedly) happened around 2000 years ago on earth that they would be pi$$ed off with us all".
    But I think it was falling on deaf ears. "Did anyone maybe die 2000 years ago" etc etc. A discussion for another forum me thinks.

    Yeah, I enjoyed it the two times I saw it.
    Plenty of D'Oh! moments, plus there is the magic small rock scene,
    the one that saves our heroine despite the massive starship crushing everything else in it's path!
    But, it's really a big setup for the next one, too much distance between the ending of Prometheus and the story of Alien to be bridged without another film.
    Plus, we need it to stop the narrative space being filled with p1ss poor fan fiction.

    I don't like this thread, it's all too clean and new and I don't feel comfortable. We need someone to come in and wreck it up a bit with talk of old men in cinemas and some pictures of retrogamers all cosplayed up.

    I know I mentioned it earlier but..
    Legend of grimrock , been playing this since I got it last night , it's plays like a remake of all those Amiga/ST Dungeon crawlers like 'dungeon master 'or 'EoTB'.
    Nice and hard too, it's 5.50 for the next few hours so if you prefer your RPGs with a team of four adventurers and loads of gridpaper* rather than the spikey haired japanese protagonists and gunswords variety its worth getting.

    *there is actually an old school mode included with no map option ;)

    Master of the Universe


    Brilliant game that. I gave up before finishing it though, some of the later levels became frustrating.

    Yeah it's well worth getting if you like that type of game and especially at that price.

    No fair! Japan actually makes some of the best dungeon crawlers available!

    ah yeah , especially Atlus ones , like Etrian Odyssey or Dark Spire.
    It was a slightly unfair dig. But I was getting at the fact that is a real WRPG rather than a typical Jrpg though.

    Stupid customs in Dublin :mad: Incompetent fools as usual.
    It should not take a week for 2 medium size boxes of games to clear customs.
