Stop. Think about something else.

What's the deal? It's going to be a super awesome touch-based adventure game with a wicked sweet localization and very funny moments. BUY IT.

Re: Starfox Command Told ya so.

After going through the sound test in Deep Labyrinth last night, I must point out that Yasunori Mitsuda's music in this game is phenomenal. Dare I say it, it's his best work since Chrono Cross.

Sure. Personally, I would rather have a brand new Mana adventure that features SNES gameplay with 4 player wireless multiplayer than a remake of a 17 year-old single-player RPG. But I'm sure both games will be of high presentational quality.

Because: is a way better game. I called CoM DS GOTY back at E3.

Your excited about the gameplay? You mean the gameplay that was the only part of that game that wasn't changed during the remake? The gameplay that was the same 17 years ago when the game came out as it will be on November 14? Uh, no thanks. I'll stick with Contact.

Skip Sonic Rush unless you're a hardcore Sonic fan. It's a good game, but it has some poor design choices. If you like challenge, check out Trauma Center: Under the Knife. If you like puzzlers, Tetris, Meteos, and possibly Konductra are all must-haves. If you like first-person action RPG dungeon crawls, check out Deep Labyrinth. If you like quirky, off-the-wall RPGs, check out Contact come October. If you like puzzle-solving adventure games, check out Trace Memory, Touch Detective (October 10), and Hotel Dusk (Winter). If you want some more unusual gaming experiences, check out Electroplankton (love it or hate it software, but I love it), Brain Age, or Nintendogs. If you like strategy, Advance Wars.

Interesting. 20 bucks eh? I may pick it up if I find a lull in my schedule. I'd like to hear what your overall impressions are once you beat the game.

Could you elaborate? I was kind of interested in it, but it's not getting very good review scores, and I'd like a hands-on impression from someone.

YOU'RE BIASED. WHY DID YOU EVEN BOTHER STATING YOUR OPINION?

OH YEAH HAY GUYZ STARFOX COMMAND IS GOING TO BE AN AWESOME GAME For 12 year-old fgts.

It's the best RPG I've ever played. Nothing masochistic about it at all.

I like how 2 reviews counts as inflated for Starfox Command Btw, I'm guessing that you're a contract employee no? Most testers are, so... I don't work for them anymore, so no, no longer a contract employee. And guess what? I'm still enjoying Deep Labyrinth! Starfox Command is absolute crap. I've played it. For enough time to know that it sucks. But have fun with it. Most gamers are masochists (just look at the popularity of Final Fantasy 7).

Hmm, that's interesting. I think I know why, if it's true, but I'm afraid I'm not allowed to say. Although it does help my wallet if it's delayed.

Here's what I see happening: Starfox Command getting inflated reviews when it's not that good and Deep Labyrinth getting bad reviews when it's actually pretty sweet. I understand the reliance on reviews, but you're kind of cheating yourself out of a good game based on arbitrary scores. Might I recommend borrowing Deep Labyrinth from someone to give it a try and see if you like it?

Contact is like an MMO. You can see the enemies in the field, and once you initiate battle, Terry attacks automatically until you tell him to stop or the enemy is defeated.

Deep Labyrinth is awesome. I'm having a lot of fun with it. The reviews truly don't do the game justice. Sure it has its flaws, and you can tell it's a port of a cell phone game, but in the same way PSO had its flaws, Deep Labyrinth is addicting as hell (just like PSO). The touch screen functionality is great, and I really love drawing spell characters in order to cast. It's pretty awesome. Sure there are some things that aren't so great (like the ease of the first chapter), btu overall, I would recommend it. I like it a lot. Great dungeon romp. Oh yeah and the music by Mr. Mitsuda is fantastic.

Magna Carta

I bought it today, actually. haven't played it yet, but most of the people at work really loved it. I think the reason it's getting such low scores is that it's so non-traditional that playing it is a bit awkward at first. It's a rental at least, but come on. Support Atlus! Support first-person RPGs!

I haven't personally played it, but a friend told me it plays alot like internet games like Zuma and Luxor. I think you're thinking of Magnetica. Konductra just came out today.

Alright, so I'm looking to someone who's played that new DS puzzle game Konductra. Is it any good? It seems like a more complex version of Polarium, and I'm curious if it's any good. I love portable puzzle titles, and now that I've mastered both Tetris and Meteos, I need another fix. Gunpey is coming out later this year (the PSP version will probably be better), but in the meantime, how is Konductra?

Never again will you use the words Pokemon and orgasmic in the same sentence. It breeds bad visual imagery.
