I REALLY want to get Kirby's Epic Yarn. I think I'll make do with Super Star and Dream Land 3 until Christmas.

I love the Kirby series.

Encouraging spousal murder. Tsk. I already know who's up for the axe though. Well, I say axe - I'm more likely to hammer them to death. In one way or another.

We don't get it until March.

Game or real life?

Suicide by hammer has always fascinated me since I saw Team America. Laughed for about ten minutes at that gag. If I went all Jonny B, I'd just have to use a hammer. I suppose I avoided the question there. Oh well.

Just a small aside to Lee's latest thread in VGAT, who is stupid enough to spend £40/$60 on a computer game these days?

I haven't done that since the days of the N64

 

[Lee]

I did for SMG2

 

[The Holy One]

I'm debating whether or not to get the new Wii version of Goldeneye.

 

[Lee]

I'll get it eventually but not for full price.

 

[The Holy One]

I might just get it to see how the Wii Zapper works on the game but that won't be this month though maybe Christmas.

Crytek UK is talking with various publishers about the possibility of creating a brand new TimeSplitters game, Eurogamer can reveal.

The studio formerly known as Free Radical Design is also discussing an original IP – a single-player and multiplayer first-person shooter – with publishers.

"We're talking to publishers at the moment about whether that's [TimeSplitters] a viable route or not," managing director Karl Hilton told Eurogamer at the GameCity festival in Nottingham last week.

"There hasn't been a TimeSplitters game for quite a while. Obviously TimeSplitters is a FPS with a strong multiplayer element. The question is, is that the way to go with another one, or should it go down a different route, or should we be developing a new IP altogether?

"It's down to us talking to publishers about what their interest is and where they see it going. If they're keen for a TS game, then we'd be happy to do one. If they'd like us to develop something new then we'd do that.

"Whether the TS is like the classic TS or whether the TS is a new imagined TS, that's the other thing to discuss with them."

New Timesplitters may be along in a coupla years. I say fuck Goldeneye and wait for that.

IGN just reviewed GoldenEye 007 and gave it a 9.0

Sometimes I question IGN reviews (they gave Sonic 4 an 8.0)and wonder if this was a 9.0 based on nostalgia.

Looking forward to hearing thoughts from 'real' people who have played the game. IGN may have given Sonic 4 an 8.0, but I haven't heard one good thing about the game from a 'real' person.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Us internet elitists laugh at the very mention of IGN.

Ha.

[The Doctor]

New Mario Kart and F Zero?

 

[Барбоса]

Finally bought a copy of No More Heroes today

 

[The Doctor]

I love that game, and the sequel. So much.

 

[Lee]

No it's just IGN retro art

French Suite no. 3 in B minor

What is B type? I can't find what the music is called.

 

[The Doctor]

It seems to be an original track made specifically for the game.

Fuckign Luigi's purple coin chaos

Some of those levels are quite hard. Not sure any of them quite match the Luigi Purple Coin level in SMG.

The final level in SMG2 is immensely frustrating
