So you obsess over those that obsess over them? I think they're great. They've added more replay value to some games for me. I don't really care about the gamerscore aspect, I just see them as extra challenges the devs put in there for me to complete. Unless it's an online only or stupidly impossible achievement, I'll probably go out of my way to at least try to get it. And really, so what if some people play only for the score. It's not my time or money they're wasting, so why should I care.

If those are the standards of video game journalism, I'm glad I don't read any of that garbage. I just don't get how one guy getting fired for giving a game a fair unbiased review means that any subsequent games in that franchise deserve to be unfairly shit on by other reviewers. It's just as deceptive as being paid big money for positive reviews. Two wrongs don't make a right and all that jazz. Like I said, if you as a consumer want nothing to do with the franchise, fine whatever. I just don't agree with your point that the game deserves low scores solely because of the Gerstmann deal. It should earn those scores because it's a shit game. But the devs had nothing to do with it. It was Eidos. Even if the game was handed to another studio, Eidos would still be in charge of publishing and marketing.

I just think it's unprofessional to give a game low scores without giving it a chance, just as much as giving a game high scores for big advertiser bucks. If you personally as a consumer want nothing to do with the series, fine, but for people whose job it is to review these things*, holding a grudge over that incident seems so petty. Especially since the man it personally affected has moved on to better things. *not including ZP, who shits on everything regardless.

Why? If Jeff Gerstmann can put that stuff behind him and give the sequel a fair review, why shouldn't anyone else. It's not really fair to the devs to hate on their game for something that was out of their hands.

X is pretty different from Megaman Classic so why not? There's also Ugly American Megaman, Ryu, and Arthur so it's not just all Megamen

What a terrible stream. Fitting, I guess given the game's development. Have some off-screen screenshots: http://twitpic.com/photos/2KGames

Not sure about this, but it had a retail release sequel in Japan named Neo Geo Heroes Ultimate Shooting, which also contains a port of Sky Stage. This one didn't limit itself to only KoF characters and added Marco Rossi (Metal Slug), Akari Ichijo (Last Blade), Iroha (Samurai Shodown VI), and SYDIII (Armored Scrum Object). EDIT 2: Speaking of upcoming XBLA titles, a new Bangai-O was just announced for this fall called Bangai-O HD: Missile Fury. It's set for a 800 MS point ($10) price point.

video games are not like real life (tim buckley)

video games? how off topic of you content:

he already posted in that one http://ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?p=708644#post708644

Look at these scrubs never been to the Super FamiCon.

General: games, music, anime, and related topics Off Topic: other stuff why is that so hard to understand for some people? Also, your sig is too tall. Shrink it down or (preferably) get a new one.

PRC63 used Judgement (MS2- Stage 1) as the theme. Not as awesome as Virts, but it's something.

Yeah, that underwater level was hell. Never could beat it as a kid. Not really a problem for me now though. Here's to hoping for EWJ2 HD sometime down the line. The 360 version is superior btw, since you get Jim's supersuit as an avatar reward.

No, but this updated one with 6 face buttons will. Not really. The Saturn D-pad is also a disk and that's regarded as the best D-pad in the world. I personally haven't tried it, but I hear this mod improves the d-pad significantly.

A SNES or Dualshock controller are good emu controllers. I don't really recommend a X360 controller since it has a pretty shitty d-pad.

Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (GameGear version). Only going with the cast from the cartoon series. Scratch Grounder Coconuts Robotnik And from some NES Samurai Pizza Cats game from Tecmo: Speedy Cerviche Guido Anchovy Polly Esther Meowzma O'Toole Spritz T. Cat LT: I took the Robotnik guys and a couple Samurai Pizza Cats. The rest are fugly.

You only lose weight by running around or hitting a "?" monitor. Losing rings by getting hit does nothing.

Megaman 2. It's the first game I distinctly remember loading just to listen to the music. The music is the sole reason I never got pissed off at getting stuck in the first Wily Stage as a kid.

But it's a Nickelodeon property. Of course they're going to have a hand in it.

Just because it's in the same continuity doesn't not make it a spinoff. Joey is a spin-off of Friends, and yet it still takes place in the same universe Likewise, X, Zero, Legends, etc are all spinoffs of the original series. I don't even know how this argument happened. predcon got his terms mixed up and I just pointed out that MM7 is not a spinoff.

This dude? Best I could find using Tineye is it's apparently a photo of one of Thomas Ruff's friends or family http://www.guardian.co.uk/pictures/image/0,8543,-11404347243,00.html

Some links would be nice Also, how is Mega Man 7 a spinoff?

I don't hear anything resembling a z, l, or t sound in that thing I think your ears are broken Joe.
