I finally got around to posting in the pre-tournament. Honestly though, there isn't a ton of games that I've played in there so I won't be posting in too many of them.

Also, I hate to post this here but I've been trying get a picture re-sized for my sig in regards to the tournament in the Digital Arts and Graphics section but I don't think anyone has noticed it there. I wouldn't normally bring it up but it has been about two weeks and I haven't had any luck.
 
Now that I got my laptop back (which has been broken for the last 2 months which is why I didn't submit a games list.) I can take pat in the tourney when it begins. Also have to restart that cracked look into survival horror thing I was working on since my computer got wiped.
 
Has anyone here seen the Resident Evil 4 trailer from E3 2003? Really good looking, I think I would've preferred that over nows RE4 but that one was still epic.
 
Urgh; I think I might be adding Heavy Rain to my list of games I crusade against.
It's getting to be quite a crowded list.
 
Meh.

Personally I don't like them on account of content... I've always found the whole "hehe, I can run around killing hookers" mentality a little bit sad. That's mostly just the intellectual snobbery talking though. As a game goes it's... alright, hard to say really.

As a complete package the game is alreight. The last one I remember spending any time left was San Andreas (or possibly Vice City, who can tell the difference?) and I remember coming to the conclusion that it was a fantastic sandbox that unfortunately failed in every single game-play department.

Judged as a driving game the driving was bad. Judged as a shooting game the gunplay was bad. Judged as an RPG the role playing elements were bad and judged as a cinematic experience the story was pretty shit as well. Gameplay wise I could never find out what the fuss was about, and the game's supporters never seemed very sure of it themselves.

I'd go so far as to suggest that if you took away the giddy adolescent thrill of criminality from the games that people would completely cease to give a shit about the franchise.
 
I'm interested to see what kind of video Lee comes up with for some of my slightly more obscure picks.

It's a shame I didn't push the Hentai game harder.
 
all aside from the top 2 have been unveiled. I'm sure you know who they are but which one got number one? Find out later ;)

Videos will appear in the matches though.
 
How did Treasure Island Dizzy make it in to the final 128 when it lost in the preliminary round?

I'm not complaining of course, the more Dizzy the better.

My five games to watch:

Worlds Apart
Elite
CRAWL - Stone Soup
Magicland Dizzy
Demon's Souls
 
15 of the games were picked by myself, Dave and Fizzy to make it in.
 
Well it's not in the tourney but simpsons hit and run is.
 
Portal was amazing. So inventive and fresh. Made The Orange Box worth buying in my opinion.
 
Portal never forced my to devote fifteen minutes to brushing my teeth, having a shave and tidying up around the house. It was also well written and had a functional control scheme.

Heavy Rain can claim none of those things.
 
Wait what? Portal isn't in? How the fuck'd that happen? It's like the biggest internet wank off in the history of gaming. Even I nominated it.
