What? That's stupid.

[megladon8]

Why is it stupid?

[number8]

The blocky, near-flat cel-shaded look was one of my favorite things about No More Heroes. The updated texturing makes it look pretty bland. Also, all the Wii-control mini-games break the monotony of all the button-mashing nicely, which is all that game is. You won't have that on an XBox version.

[megladon8]

It looks like the same near-flat cel-shaded graphics to me, just at a much higher resolution. Which is awesome.

The Wii game was great, but I got a little tired of having to jerk off my controller to recharge my weapon.

No More Heroes coming to 360 & PS3:

Do Not Want.

[Sycophant]

I agree with number8.

Gotta agree that it still looks rather unique.

Red Faction Guerrilla is a freakin blast.

[Stay Puft]

Red Faction Guerrilla is a freakin blast.

I haven't played much of the single player, but the multiplayer is crazy awesome.

[Saya]

Wow, Tony Hawk Ride looks absolutely terrible. It does make for some funny .gifs though.

Killer Klown, you've completed Folklore, what happened at the end there? Did it make sense?

[bac0n]

Red Faction Guerrilla is a freakin blast.

The demo was fun as hell.

[Skitch]

The multiplayer is crazy destructive awesome, and the campaign (I'm now to the third area, Badlands) is everything the demo promised. Each new section is twice as big as the last, this new one is huge. I was a little worried I was going to beat this too quick, but seeing how much bigger each area gets...I'm going to be at this for awhile...and I'm not complaining!

What are peoples' thoughts on DS vs. PSP?

What are peoples' thoughts on DS vs. PSP?

I have a PSP and I LOVE it. Pretty amazing all the stuff it can do. DS has some killer games though...it would definately win for the RPG fanatic, even though PSP has some great ones.

[EyesWideOpen]

I'm almost finished with Borderlands and then I have the new Ratchet and God of War Collection sitting in front of me waiting to be played. I need to retire so I can dedicate more time to gaming.

[Kurosawa Fan]

What are peoples' thoughts on DS vs. PSP?

DS is fun for kids, but any kind of mature gaming suffers. I really enjoy my PSP, and it's the sole reason I'm still playing video games.

[megladon8]

Cool. Sounds like PSP has the upper hand.

Not a bad list, I wouldn't pick the majority of them but I can see how some would. The only one that is just flat out wrong is FFXII. Their is no way that is the best JRPG of the 2000's.

Goodbye Left 4 Dead, hello Red Faction!

[megladon8]

I'm at level 28 in "Modern Warfare 2" multiplayer.

I'm also now addicted to playing it Hardcore...but I also pretty much only play if a couple of my friends are in a party with me. After playing with friends for a whole weekend, I find playing with a group of strangers pretty underwhelming.

I have almost all the achievements for my FAMAS, and after that I'll move onto the FAL (which is kind of this game's version of "CoD4"'s G3, which was my favorite gun in that game).

[Skitch]

Pretty useless game if your not an online player.

Even if you're online, it's just not for everyone.

Killer Klown, you've completed Folklore, what happened at the end there? Did it make sense?

It's been a while so i did a bit of research myself, the plot is definitely convoluted and while it wraps the story at the end, it still leaves you wondering at several points.

there's a lot of confusion regarding who Keats actually is, to me he's kinda like Bruce Willis' character in The Sixth Sense, he wasn't a real person but didn't realize that until the very end, on a big shyamalan-esque surprise when he finds a draw made by Cecilia/Ellen as a child, depicting him as a grown up Herve. "Kinda" because it's not as simple as like - he's dead - this guy explains it a bit better http://vahnm.blogspot.com/2007/12/fo...-spoilers.html

Dunno how far you've played it, but there were also multiple murderers in the town, Ellen's mom and Suzette. My memory of the details is thin, i'm confused now to why does Ellen's mom called her back in town in the first place, she went as far as changing her daughter's name and raising her away to avoid the dangerous fairy folk and vengeful Herve's family, Suzette was a device to throw a bit of confusion in the whodunnit plot, but she was on a personal vengeance of sorts.

Reading about the game, i remembered it was actually a cool story and the art direction is also very nice, some Folks have a great twisted fairy-tale look. Only the level design that was a bit flat gameplay-wise, but it's a fairly easy game to beat, if you don't mind the repetition.
