The first couple reviews are out... IGN= 7.0 (PS2) IGN= 7.2 (Wii) - Notes - - Not the best frame rate (30 fps with drops below that) - The night scenes are iffy at best + The day scenes are supposedly a lot of fun + Looks good. +/- Sounds like they ditched the 80's guitar music too.

Fallout 3

WISE FWOM YO GWAVE! Having gotten back to playing Fatal Fury Battle Archives Vol. 1, I was reminded of something... Geese Howard. Now, I'm not talking about the Geese Howard from later games in the KoF franchise, I'm talking about the first Geese Howard in Fatal Fury. The word "infuriating" comes to mind. Why? Because he's one of the most odd bosses out there. He's not insanely cheap all the time like Rugal in the KoF series, but he has this pattern that is simply unbeatable... and it comes along at the most inopportune moments. Normally, Geese can be gotten with the occasional throw, a jump kick, and so forth, making it so you can pick away at him. But once in a while, the CPU gets a wild hair up it's virtual ass, and Geese Howard only does one move. This move consists of his grabbing you when you try to attack him, and then he throws you for quite a bit of damage. Jump kick? Grabbed out of the air and thrown. Punch? Grabbed and thrown. Foot sweep? Grabbed and thrown. If you come in contact with him at all, you're grabbed and thrown. When the CPU gets in this mood, there is simply no way for you to win, as Geese will also avoid any and all projectile attacks. Sometimes it'll last for entire round, and then stop (enabling you to kick his ass). Other times, it'll result in your losing two rounds in a row, and missing out on the full ending because of your having to continue. I was reminded that the Genesis version of Fatal Fury does the same thing from time to time. It's a particularly cruel bit of coding if you ask me. And unfortunately, it's one SNK took to heart.

I'd hate to see another boss music project bite the dust. I was part of the "UnMod R Bad Men" project back in the day, and it was basically the same premise... boss themes. It was going along alright until the whole sidebar thing hit. Then the project makers took it to unmod.org. There, it died a slow death over a month's time. It sucked, because some cool themes had been chosen, and it was moving forward. I'd like to see this attempt at the same thing come to fruition, and not whither away. If it has to be put on hold for a time, then so be it. But hopefully it won't simply vanish. Having the same fate take the concept down twice would suck.

Probably because I was involved with it many moons ago. But rest assured, my post held no reference to past events. I'm not the sour grapes type. It's simply a matter of fact that putting such a requirement in place limits the size of the pool you wish to draw from. And as someone else mentioned, when you keep drawing from that same pool for virtually every project, the artists get overextended, and the projects they had been a part of start falling behind due to the artists doing the same because of a lack of time/interest.

I think part of the problem is also that many of the projects want OCR quality. Now, I'm not talking about letting something that sucks to high hell go through, but having the project bar in the same position as the OCR bar kind of cuts out potential remixers who might have been interested, yet don't meet what's expected for this place. And thus, you're limited in who would and wouldn't be able to take part.

If you heard a door slam just now, that was probably bLiNd making a run for it. You gotta learn to keep such time-based info away from guys, as it panics us

So basically, bLiNd's officially JaDEd now? ... Yeah, sorry. Anyway, congrats

I have a question. Why do we still not have a button that appears on/with your posts when you plug in your website into your profile? I know you folks are busy, but doesn't it seem kind of odd that after over two years, you can put your website URL in, yet there's nothing that allows people to visit it when you post? A button next to "Quote" and "Edit" might not work, but what about something along the top with your AIM, Yahoo! and whatnot icons? Pretty please?

It served it's purpose at the time, but all the other ingredients needed to make it so the engine could run weren't exactly environmentally friendly... ... as you can see.

Yeeesssss. Come play with ussss... Plaaaayyyyy... Foreeeeeeverrrrrrrrrr...

A bit late, but, thanks As for the review, it wasn't bad. Not his funniest, but it still make me chuckle several times along the way. Of course, I've yet to play Dead Space, so...

Not really. One aspect that can be delved into is if a reviewer did a good job telling the reader what the game's about, what flaws are in the game, etc. If you want a prime example of how not to review a game, look at gamespot's and IGN's reviews for Taito Legends 2 on the PS2.

The funny part of all this, is that once people do make an engine that allows for a glimpse of that oh so tough to get to other side of the valley, it'll still likely have women with size double F tits, men with muscles that can't be achieved without steroids, and soulless eyes that whisper dark secrets into your mind late at night.

That last part can be taken care of by watching a rerun of last week's Dirty Jobs.

Saints Row 2

This is probably going to sound a bit goofy, but I still have the last two sixty-minute tapes I made when I was kid. One was a selection of faster tunes (Revenge of Shinobi, TF3 + TF4, TMNT: The Hyperstone Heist, etc.), the other was for slower tunes (Castlevania: Bloodlines ending, Batman ending, etc.).

I still have my Genesis 1, which I got for Christmas for the year it came out (the original one that came with Altered Beast as a pack-in). Everything on it still works too (volume control, headphone jack, etc). I've spent countless hours playing the likes of Thunder Force IV, Sonic the Hedgehog, Ristar, Herzog Zwei, Ghouls 'N Ghosts, along with the many other fun filled simulators, racing games, shmups, RPGs, hack 'n slashes, and platformers the system has. Add on the fact that over the last few years, I've been able to play imports on it, and it's safe to say my old system has really seen a lot of use... and still does to this day. It's a great older system with a lot to offer. It may be a day late, but...

It doesn't show up because you have it chosen. If you pick a different avatar, your old one will show up on the list again, and your new one will disappear from it. It's just how the setup works.

Nice work on the project, guys. Next stop, Sitar Hero

Think Duke Nukem.

A couple more delays, and the album could be called "Super Metroid- Reserve Tank VARIAtions Forever". ... ... I know, I know... or "Super Metroid- Reserve Tank VARIAtions sans The Coop".

If the project requirements were below "OCR quality", I'd jump on board happily. It would give me a perfect excuse to do another remix of Requiem For The Nameless Victims

Actually, I was being sarcastic. That track from Sky Target is certainly so weird that it's memorable, but it wouldn't be close to anything I'd place at the top of my list. Themes like Metal Squad from Thunder Force IV, Requiem For The Nameless Victims from Castlevania: Bloodlines, Setting Out from Elemental Master, and the ongoing level 1 theme from the "Ghosts" series (Ghosts 'N Goblins, Ghouls 'N Ghosts, etc.) would being among my personal top picks.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6vr5DEOJsE Go to 3:46. How that's not on the list is truly a mystery for the ages.
