    That looks very cool, it'd be nice to see videogame art used in its regular form rather than as a piece of satire but still, looks good.

    So, what's the difference between the two?
    And how does this compare to the recently announced Sony headset?

    Better screen and full head tracking.
    Not sure about the Sony one but I'm doing put my money on the rift!
    I'm not a Sony fan tho. Except the ps2!
    I bet it'll be silly money.

    The Zelda graffiti is on the fence surrounding UCC so it might make a good place to take photos at Kaizo Con.

    You kinda need the big box manual for those sorts of hints alright.

    Indeed - I first played SM on the virtual console and that bit left me bamboozled for a while!

    Has anyone played the digital version of Metal Gear Solid? Do they work around that whole 'code on the back of the box' business?

    I wonder if it'd be fun to post this in the Sega forum... Oh, sorry O1s1n... Maybe the Nintendo forum?

    Dear glob in heaven,
    Is there any universe in the grand scheme of things that doesn't interpret that as disaster?

    That depends. If they kill off all the secondary characters other than Tails, and maybe Knuckles, it could be a good thing.

    Oh, and rename Dr. "Eggman" back to Dr. Robotnik.

    I'm trying to think if there was ever a good film made about a game? The only one I can think of was the Street Fighter anime one.

    The first Resident Evil movie wasn't the worst.

    Ace Attorney.

    And that's it live action wise :pac:

    (Takashi Miike's Yakuza film is meant to be good as well)

    It was very, very close to being the worst - only outdone by the subsequent ones! I had to review the latest one, and it was genuinely worthless.

    It was outdone by most other game-to-movie adaptations too!

    Bob Hoskins Mario for example...

    I think the Ace Attorney movie falls apart as its crux is the Edgeworth/Wright relationship that they didn't spend nearly enough time establishing.

    Never been a fan of the Resi Evil films (nor games to be fair). I think I watched one of the more recent ones and turned it off early enough, something bs action sequence involving a tall building and a helicopter, no more. Almost as bad as Die Hard 5: A Good Day to Die Hard (even the title is facepalm material). I don't mind brainless action films but that was so over-top bullsh1t, utterly terrible. The only enjoyment I got from it was listening to a mate give out stink about it after ignoring my suggestion to leave it alone. :D

    I'm guessing Alone in the Dark with Christian Slater wouldn't be in your Top 'I can't count that high' list?
