huzzah!
kal el is the man! by ironic_name	Jan 8th, 2008 09:52:55 AM
kinda could tell what was gonna happen, but still very funny.
So 360 users by skimn	Jan 8th, 2008 09:55:07 AM
I've had mine since this past summer and I need to know...are the red rings of death still appearing? Or was that a first generation thing?
Target Terror by skimn	Jan 8th, 2008 09:56:43 AM
looks so eighties, I can't decide if thats good or bad.
Cannot wait for UT3 for 360 by NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYanks	Jan 8th, 2008 09:58:51 AM
till then I guess I have to consign myself to the averagenessness of Mass Effect and Assassins Creed. Man are these two perfect games.
oh and Edgar Frog Lives by NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYanks	Jan 8th, 2008 10:03:40 AM

Superman showed that bitch who's boss by Horace Cox	Jan 8th, 2008 10:12:15 AM
That alternate Superman II scene was better than the Donner cut.
Skimn by nascentia	Jan 8th, 2008 10:16:44 AM
I'm 99% positive it was just the first generation of 360s that red-ringed. From what I've heard, it was due to the motherboard heating up too much and flexing just enough to pop the CPU loose. Now they have cooler running parts. I had to get mine replaced exactly a year ago (the DVD drive failed; no red rings) and it's been fine ever since, and I've put some serious time into that thing. 140 hours into Oblivion alone...
I wasn't a fan of Assasin's Creed by Rickey Henderson	Jan 8th, 2008 10:22:28 AM
All those cheap shots from guards while trying to duel 10 of them at once gets a little annoying, you know? And it was repetitive as all hell. Sure it looked snazzy and it was fun scaling buildings, but that wasn't enough to redeem the game in my eyes. Original xbox live gamertag? How about "FLUFFER"? I've been using that for 5 years now and it never ceases to get a laugh. What happend to that contest where Monki was looking for new contributors to the AICN gaming column? Did anyone get that? Just curious since I applied and never heard anything....
All those cheap shots from guards while trying to duel 10 of the by NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYanks	Jan 8th, 2008 10:31:09 AM
umm yeah, that is what blocking and countering is for. You see there are these things called controllers which contain buttons that when depressed....yada yada yada.
Rickey by skimn	Jan 8th, 2008 10:33:25 AM
have you delved into Mass Effect yet? Theres a game to get lost in......
Is there any place that sells PS3s? by Lashlarue	Jan 8th, 2008 10:44:53 AM
Man, those things are hard to get. :)
Nope, haven't played it yet skimn... by Rickey Henderson	Jan 8th, 2008 10:46:31 AM
I'm totally dying to however. I love me the Bioware RPGs... It sounds kind of dorky, but these days, I'm all about Mario Galaxy for the wii. It's the most innovative & fun game I've played in ages. And to the guy above talking about the block button in Assasin's Creed... sorry, but you cannot convince me that the combat system in that game is anything but pure garbage. 10 guards surrounding you taking turns hitting you in the back is nothing than can be countered. The combat is pure dreck.
Rickey Henderson I must have a different game by NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYanks	Jan 8th, 2008 10:57:02 AM
I can take out 10 surrounding guards with my assassins blade. However you are correct about Mario, pure gaming bliss. Mass Effect is absolutely amazing and needs to be completed at least twice.
about halfway through Mario by NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYanks	Jan 8th, 2008 11:01:39 AM
and it is easily the best game on any of my systems, closely followed by Zelda Twilight Princess. Then again on the last three consoles i owned(PS2, Xbox, Cube) my fave games were easily Metroid, Zelda, and Pikmin. So I guess I shouldn't be surprised, Nintendo just do it better.
Rickey by skimn	Jan 8th, 2008 11:03:26 AM
If you like Bioware, you'll really enjoy it. The combat system has improved, I could never get the system for KOTR.
Maybe I'm just more a button mashing fan by Rickey Henderson	Jan 8th, 2008 11:04:53 AM
...combat games with controls schemes that required timing never did it for me. I'm more of a button masher (think DMC) rather than a fan of elaborate Virtua Fighter style controls. I snagged a wii for xmas and am currently enjoying it as much as the 360. Resident Evil 4 for the wii is also a revelation if you haven't played it... So much fun.
That said Nearly all third party by NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYanks	Jan 8th, 2008 11:06:09 AM
games are terrible on the Wii. Nintendo need to get their quality control back with these publishers. Third party Cube games were much better with Eternal Darkness, Rogue Leader, and Dinosaur Planet as examples of extremely high quality.
Resident Evil 4 for the wii by NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYanks	Jan 8th, 2008 11:07:59 AM
Damn, haven't tried that one yet. As someone who finished it 3 times on the cube is it really worth another purchase?
Burnout Paradise is bollocks, but good call on Contra 4 by photoboy	Jan 8th, 2008 11:10:29 AM
Seriously, Criterion fucked that one up so badly it's hard to believe. DJ Atomica can fuck right off, as can the lack of a restart option. I'd rather watch a 20 second loading screen than spend 2 minutes driving back to the start of a race. The first thing I did (after getting over the shock of how shit the demo was) was to cancel my pre-order for it.
Problem is, developers don't know how to make wii games by Rickey Henderson	Jan 8th, 2008 11:10:45 AM
Very few games out there take advantage of the wii's motion sensing gimmick. Hopefully that'll turn around in 08. You've got to nail that wiimote sense of fun down because otherwise, you've got got gamecube graphics and a lousy control scheme. Even worse, Microsoft is looking into the motion control thing now (the contracted the same company that nintendo used to design the wiimote). Like you said, the wii could be very screwed if they don't get some decent third part support out there.
yes, RE4 for the wii is worth it by Rickey Henderson	Jan 8th, 2008 11:13:33 AM
heres why: it includes a new chapter from the PS2 version that you haven't played before. And also, the wii control scheme is awesome. You point the wiimote at the screen for some pinpoint precision. Headshots galore. I've played it on the gamecube too and this is better. It came out in the summer, so uou can probably get it used for cheap I'm thinking.
NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYanks by photoboy	Jan 8th, 2008 11:15:34 AM
If you liked RE4 on the GC you will love it even more on Wii I think. Initially the controls feel odd, because it's quite different, but once you get used to them you'll love them. While the gestures are little more than waggling, they really add to the game. For example, repeatedly slicing the remote left and right like a knife triggers Leon to pull out his knife and start slashing, it's really intuitive after a while. I tried playing the PC version of RE4 and I kept shaking the joypad to trigger a reload instead of pushing the button! Seriously, I'm really worried that I'll not enjoy RE5 as much now that I'm hooked on motion controls.
Sweet, might make it my next purchase by NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYanks	Jan 8th, 2008 11:18:00 AM
Not too many upcoming 360 games excite me outside of DMC4 and Ninja Gaiden2. Super Smash Bros with Solid Snake has me shaking with glee.
I love the Burnout series.. by skimn	Jan 8th, 2008 11:19:26 AM
...have they revamped Paradise to the point of it being a crapfest? Did they remove the Crash games? If they did, there'll be hell to pay!!
Oops fogot about End War and the new Civ by NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYanks	Jan 8th, 2008 11:19:51 AM

Fuck Microsoft! by Orionsangels	Jan 8th, 2008 11:19:53 AM
I sent my 360 to be fixed. They sent me back another broken unit. now i'm waiting again. WTF!
my mistake, meants to say 360 not Wii by NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYanks	Jan 8th, 2008 11:23:49 AM
Civ Whooogh. I haven't played a Civ since part 2 and it consumed so much of my life that once, when playing it in the computer room, I was robbed and didn't realise for hours. I wandered blearily out of my room and thought 'hmmmmmm, wasn't my cd stacker on top of the cabinet, and where is my vcr?'.
Another big piece of news you forgot... by Johnno	Jan 8th, 2008 11:37:33 AM
Or perhaps your comment on 'more PSP/PS3 connectivity' was meant to include it without really saying anything... but Sony announced that with future blu-ray releases you can copy a smaller version of the film (probably already compressed and stored on the BD-rom) directly to a memory card for playback on your PSP! No idea if it's just for the memory stick duo, but given that they didn't specify, any memory stick might do, so any other player other than PSP that takes em might also work... well maybe it has to support the .mp4 or whatever format UMD might've been using, but still that's pretty cool, especially given that UMD movies are DVD quality even when played from the PSP Slim on your HDTV. Also it sucks that skype is only announced for PSP Slim, but I could live without it, let's just hope it doesn't start a trend of stuff that's only for the slim...

The PSP has had quite a few great games released in the last several months. Jeanne D'arc, Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow, and Final Fantasy Tactics are just a few of the better games released lately. I'm more of a DS fan, but the PSP's library is hardly anything to scoff at, especially with God Of War and FFVII: Crisis Core coming in the next couple months. Seriously, I know more about games, and I only read a handful of websites; I don't write for one. GET SOMEONE WHO KNOWS THEIR SHIT, AICN!
Original X-Box recommendations by swinky	Jan 8th, 2008 12:56:22 PM
Yep, you read that right. I'm looking for recommendations for the X-Box. And no, I haven't been held hostage by the Amish for the past 8 years! The kids have their PS2 and Wii. I got the old X-Box just for me. So who can recommend something for me to play? The more obscure, the better! I prefer FPS, and RPG games, but will try just about anything.
My problem with PSP... by Orionsangels	Jan 8th, 2008 01:02:13 PM
and all small gaming devices, is what's the point of making the games look so good and have amazing soundtrackS. When you're gonna be playing it on such a tiny screen with rinky dinky speakers, for that I'll play it on my big screen TV in surround. Honestly, who plays games on the go? Only little kids with their DS. If I wanna play a game on a roadtrip. I hook up a console and a flat screen in my car. I guess I'm showing my age. I've never been a tiny gadget person. I don't even like cell phones.
No good games for PSP in months? by Dr. Chim Richalds	Jan 8th, 2008 01:11:47 PM
Are you some sort of idiot? As mentioned, Syphon Filter: LS is an excellent title. FFT and Jeanne D'Arc are also nothing to scoff at. Heck, even the recent Castlevania release bundling several games (including SOTN) for $30 is a tremendous deal. Clearly you have no idea what you're talking about. Can someone who actually plays games get your job?
Paradise--no Crash mode by dead youngling	Jan 8th, 2008 01:46:21 PM
I'm a huge Burnout fan but cancelled my res. toute suite after playing the demo--no Crash mode and no restart are game killers for me. Maybe EA/Criterion needs to realize you don't need much innovation when you have a nearly perfect product.
Nice Read by PantherMatt	Jan 8th, 2008 01:51:13 PM
Monki, UT is the only PS3 Game not available for 360 that you enjoyed? Did you not play Resistance: Fall of Man? Or did you just not like it? It may look a little dated now, but it's the best launch game. Ever. Unless I'm missing one, that is...
Gates saying 360 is badass = Nipples on Batman by J-Dizzle	Jan 8th, 2008 01:53:31 PM
With the 3 red rings of death crisis the last thing the 360 needs is a public endorsement from a geeky slimeball.
swinky, here ya go: by Rickey Henderson	Jan 8th, 2008 01:59:07 PM
Halo, Halo 2, Ninja Gaiden, Splinter Cell, Burnout 3 KOTR, Black,Soul Calibur II, GTA Double Pack, Prince of Persia, Half Life 2, Jade Empire Those are my personal faves from the old xbox.
Silent Hill series for the old X Box by skywalkerfamily	Jan 8th, 2008 02:07:03 PM
But you can only play 2 and 4. Why they never ported over the others I don't know.
Where's my Star Wars lightsaber game for the wii? by Rickey Henderson	Jan 8th, 2008 02:08:14 PM
How in fuck has Lucas Arts not created a Wii lightsaber game yet? Hello? Someone? Anyone?
I'm curious to see how UT3 will look on the 360... by Ultron ver 2.0	Jan 8th, 2008 02:10:44 PM
compared to the PS3. To me, the U3 engine is pretty amazing, and I'm curious if there is a difference between the PS3 and 360....I assume there won't be. Also, the demos for GTA look like crap...they should've used a better engine...Crackdown looks better.
Rickey Henderson by Ultron ver 2.0	Jan 8th, 2008 02:12:06 PM
I think LucasArts is working on it. They'd be idiots not to...the Wii was built for a lightsaber game. Imagine how many chestbumping fatkids will be sabering troopers.
handle by jake31	Jan 8th, 2008 02:14:52 PM
Maybe someone using their name and number doesn't really need to escape from his or her real life because all is going pretty ok. Perhaps that can be just as revealing of that individual as, say, the handle Darth Dork is of someone else. I'd never given it too much thought before, but I now I am starting to wonder just what type of insight I am getting into a guy (assumed) calling himself Monki. Hmmmm...not quite a gorilla...and replaced the "ey" with an "i." Kind of a girly move unless your real name is Chachi in which case it would be totally understandable.
Oh, and one more thing... by Ultron ver 2.0	Jan 8th, 2008 02:15:57 PM
Team Fortress 2 may be complete perfection in a online fps. I've played A LOT over the years, and I haven't had that much fun since the Quake 1 grappling days (the glorious grapple/rocket combo). Valve kicked huge amounts of ass....the voicework on TF2 is worth the price of admission. They need to patch the network code a bit, lots of dropped games, but a buttload of fun to play.
Ultron by Rickey Henderson	Jan 8th, 2008 02:18:54 PM
LucasArts freaking better be. This is what the wii was created for: a lightsaber game and chestbumping fat kids a go-go! The GTA series has always had what I like to call "working man's graphics." Not snazzy, but they get the job done just fine. Besides have you seen how huge the worlds are in those games that have to be rendered?
Getting really pissed off with Censoring Game issues by ThePilgrim	Jan 8th, 2008 02:22:51 PM
Seriously all the games have "Ratings" on the box. Just like Films do. Be a fucking parent. Read the box! Would you buy your little Kid an R or X rated Movie. No! Well most people wouldn't... Hold you stores- Not the game makers responsible for minors purchasing games that are not to be sold to thier age group. That doesn't mean hiding the games behind the counter at Walmart- We don't hide film DVD's from the sight of minors. What that means is make sure the stores Check I.D. before selling a game... But whatever you do make sure too keep the Government the fuck out this shit!!! We have the ESB and it conducts itself in the same manner that the MPAA does!------------ Now to start another post- One that the Fuckers running for Pres and the shitheels in Capital Hill should put an end too when it comes to Childrens wellfair and betterment.. You know what that is!!!! Junk food, Sugary Cereal and Fast Food commercials on TV geared towards Children------------ Remember me saying be a parent. Well the excuse of being a parent in regards to this is out of the parents hands because the "Gun" / "Ad" is pointed in our kids faces. The commercials are placed on networks like the Cartoon Network and so on. With offers of cool prizes some of which are related to kids shows and kid movies. And they do this shit so they can hook your kid in on a sale. That's no different then showing an R rated trailer commercial when a child is watching a G rated show. It's time to stop this SHIT!!!!!!!!!!! No more cartoon characters and kiddy prizes to sell foods that aren't healthy. No more kid meals. If that Lesbo bitch really loves the Children then she can stand up on this issue. They need to stop selling junk food to the kids. Harry's fat ass couldn't ignore them- Neither could Drew's or Quint's. Eating habits start at childhood, and it's real hard to be a parent and enforce our views when our kids are exposed to the gun day in and day out, so much so that it seems criminal to not buy the child Fruit Loops or a Happy meal from time to time. They are fucking with our kids and it needs to STOP!!! The gun is the ad the ad is placed strategically in our kids face. How many of your kids have to have the Happy meal for the fucking toy. Surely even a Cereal prize inside situation did this as well. Why this country cant see that this is no fucking different than an R rated ad for an up and coming film on a G rated kids station is beyond me!!! But then again we got alot of chubby fuckers in this country! Lets end this shit!!!!! Fuck the Dove Foundation and that Nurse Kratchet looking Carpet Muncher.----------- I'm mad, mad at how certain things are still sneaking past trail, while other things such as the game industry- who self polices- is getting fucked with!!!!
Rickey Henderson by MC-909	Jan 8th, 2008 02:24:44 PM
The sword fights are some of the best parts of Assassins Creed. You must not be doign something right if you're having trouble taking on ten guys at once. I run around and try to get as many possible guards to fight at the same time and wind up, every time, taking them all down with nary a scratch on me.

Assasin's Creed Blows by Brians Life	Jan 8th, 2008 02:50:01 PM
The game LOOKS amazing, but the gameplay is boring and exhaustingly repetitive. Kill some dudes, go hide in the tent....give me NINTENDO anyday of the week. Always the most fun, inovative games if not the most graphically impressive. Yes yes?
Hopefully we won't have to worry about Hillary by Jack Burton	Jan 8th, 2008 02:57:19 PM
Does anyone seriously like her? I'm glad she is getting trounced by Obama so far and the primary reason I will not vote for her is because she uses game violence to get the soccer moms revved up. Lieberman is the same way. Burnout Pradise is a disappointing demo. I was hoping the open world aspect would be an option, not the game. I really don't want to have to drive back to the beginning of the race to try again and I HATE the stunt aspect that I am supposed to memorize to play well. Just give me races, enough with this open world shit.

Wow. You lost me at "vote for Ron Paul" by ZeroCorpse	Jan 8th, 2008 03:24:26 PM
Because he's a fundamentalist Christian who favors allowing states to criminalize abortion, teach creationism in public schools, do away with the FBI, CIA, and through the end of the IRS, the local police and fire departments as well (unless he thinks people would do these jobs without a government paycheck). He's an isolationist who wants us to pull out of the U.N. and do away with trading with most of the world. He wants to COMPLETELY end immigration, so that American "melting pot" would be stopped by his little Iron Curtain. He does not believe in evolution, has the endorsement of the Ku Klux Klan and other racist groups, is on record making anti-semitic and racist comments (which his apologists claim were "ghost written" for him against his will. . . Riiiight.) and has been a guest on the Morton Downey Jr. show (the 80s Jerry Springer) where he screamed at audience members, advocated legalizing heroin and cocaine, and verbally assaulted members of New York City's Guardian Angels, an organization that RISKED THEIR LIVES to help people while "Dr" Paul sat safely in his expensive mansion. He is NOT for freedom, NOT for liberty, and NOT a liberal in any way, shape, or form. His philosophy is closer to Ayn Rand's Objectivism, or even textbook fascism, than "constitutionalist." The number of naive, deluded, fucked-in-the-head people who are supporting his is astounding, especially when you find out that a shit-ton of them turned to Ron Paul after watching "Zeitgeist" which is a piece of BULLSHIT propaganda with NO references, NO proper citations, and an assload of debunked statements in it. (Parts 1 and 2 were somewhat credible. Part 3 is complete conspiracy theory bullshit with almost no basis in reality). Let me say this clearly, to my fellow liberals: THE ROCKEFELLERS DO NOT WANT TO PUT RFID CHIPS IN YOU! They couldn't care less about a peon like you. The Federal Reserve CANNOT be removed by a President without the support of the other branches of the government, and Ron Paul would never have that. The IRS is necessary if you like things like roads, health standards, police, firefighters, libraries, schools, clean water, clean air, parks, public beaches, and pretty much everything that makes you comfortable as a modern American. NO CONGRESSMAN would ever vote to do away with the IRS. The Gold Standard is useless these days because it would do NOTHING to remove the power from the richest people. They'd just horde the gold instead of the legal tender. It's all the same, and it will NOT suddenly put you on some sort of even footing with the richest people in the world. Legalizing ALL drugs and ALL guns is a bad idea, but that's what Ron Paul wants. Sure, legalize pot, and LSD, and maybe a few "light" recreational drugs, but HEROIN? CRACK? COCAINE? in a world where ALL GUNS are now legal without a license or background check, and the police don't collect paychecks from your taxes?!?! Ron Paul is an isolationist, Ayn Randian kook, and I can understand why some liberals were misled into thinking he was somehow about liberty and freedom. He's not. DO SOME RESEARCH and you'll see he's a dangerous man who would be WORSE than Bush, and YOU ARE BEING LIED TO about his plans, intentions, policies, and background.
Um... Hillary best bet as far as Democrats go by YouIgnorantGeeks	Jan 8th, 2008 03:25:45 PM

Oh, and Ron Paul's stance on game censorship: by ZeroCorpse	Jan 8th, 2008 03:30:30 PM
Seems to be "Leave it up to the states", which is (like in all his issues) because he knows that uber-conservative states (like his home of Texas) would vote to censor, ban, or criminalize M-rated games. He may not have stated this policy publicly, but most of his policies are about "leaving it up to the states" and it's because he knows that heavily Christian states will become little City-State Theocracies, and he's COUNTING ON IT.

As far as an incredible 3rd party game on wii.. check out Capcom's Zach & Wiki. One of the best games of the year, and is very innovative with the wii controller. Hasn't been having commercial success unfortunately... but its had loads of critical acclaim (Scores in the 8 or 9 in gaming sites and mags)

I use the same name online by Dashl	Jan 8th, 2008 04:33:04 PM
Back in the day, playing Medal of Honor on PC, I used the name Evil_Dead_Ash for online games. My roommate used the name Mr_Belding. Anyway, when I started playing MMO's, I knew that was too long of a name, and stupid, to use for MMO's, so I somehow came up with the name Dashl. Well, maybe it was just Dash, and then I added the "L" since I was playing Star Wars Galaxies and Dash was taken. Anyway, I used Dashl for SWG, EQ2, EQOA, xbox live, the two weeks I played WoW, and the beta for Pirates of the Burning Sea. I still use Dashl for XBOX live, Dashl for LOTRO, and Dashl- for PS3(made me mad I had to add that at the end). I have used the name for so long, and all my friends know it, I have even been called that at work.

as in Red Rings of Death (Xbox 360) you're better off getting the Arcade edition as the newer models now have an updated motherboard and heat sink which prevents overheating and the loud jet engine noise associated with the 360. Other than that, the superman clip was fucking hillarious, now f only i could do the same thing to my GF. muahhahahahaha
A few original Xbox recommendations for swinky... by Sledge Hammer	Jan 8th, 2008 09:29:42 PM
The Splinter Cell series, the Rainbow Six series, the two Knights Of The Old Republic games, Def Jam: Fight For NY, pretty much anything Rockstar does (Manhunt, The Warriors, Red Dead Revolver etc), Rocky Legends, Chronicles Of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay, Deathblow...those are a few of my faves anyways. Happy gaming.

My kids and I are currently enjoying Bioshock. It's an FPS that takes place in an underground city that went from being a utopia to a ruined city with various mutants running around. It's got cool things for you to do, like hacking security bots so they help you instead of hurt you. You can give yourself different abilities by changing your DNA. You can modify your weapons as you advance in the game. Anyway, it's a pretty unique and fun game, at least we think so. The Big Daddys are awesome.
Original Xbox games by Tacoloft	Jan 9th, 2008 12:37:10 PM
Hey schnorbis, I think swinky was looking for suggestions on original xbox games- not 360 games.--But i agree- bioshock is awesome on the 360.
A great XBOX recomendation by richier123	Jan 9th, 2008 03:14:53 PM
Recently I've been really enjoying this game called Mass Effect. It's this 3rd person action shooter RPG that takes place out in the solar system where humanity is just starting to explore. It's got a lot of fun things to do, like talking to people and choosing all sorts of different replies. You can go into the menu screen and apply points to your body so that you can do all these new things. You can even modify your weapons in these menus! But really, it's a pretty big and fun game, at least I think so. The asari are awesome.
This coverage = PATHETIC by Chutch	Jan 9th, 2008 11:10:30 PM
seriously, AICN should just drop the games section if this is how you're going to cover it. the "first next gen" statement is so fucking stupid that i could spend a page writing about games over the previous 16 months that prove this statement is made by a retard. but the worst offense by far is your lack of coverage on METAL GEAR SOLID 4. don't you fucking get that it is easily the biggest and most important title of 2008? don't you get it's more anticipated that the majority of bullshit movies and t.v. shows out there (including indy 4, sorry shia nut-sack lickers). you didn't even call it by it's proper name in the half sentence you devoyted to it. this article is dog shit through and through.

Hey Chutch, noone cares about MGS4... by Ultron ver 2.0	Jan 10th, 2008 11:46:01 AM
...it's an overrated franchise, much like Halo, that is overhyped by kneepad wearing, manpickle guzzling cheerleaders, much like yourself.
Seriously by kennofolds	Jan 10th, 2008 02:01:16 PM
Please god do not make me look at the same stupid MGS4 SS's over and over and over and over and over again...while sony fanboys scream, OMGSNAKEISUBRKEWLANDSTEALTHYRO FL.. Its going to be the same game it was since NES, be stealthy and when guards see you, turn into a box or something. SOLID TURD FTL, Sony Needs a New Messiah.
ultron and kennolds by Chutch	Jan 10th, 2008 03:55:02 PM
maybe if you two wern't too busy sucking each other off, you'd realize the games going to gross more in it's first week than 98% of all movies in 08 will make. ken you're obviously retard of the day seeing that snake IS different in this game. ultron go back to reading sonic furry porn with your homo pals.
