Choir get's up whilst obligatory organ keyboard music playing, "SING IT BROTHA! OH DON'T STOP THE TRUTH! HALLELUJAH!" I'm such a pig.

Mucho Gracia s!

Honestly, how can I download this? This is awesome...

Ouch. Not doing much better myself am I?

Kind of goes hand in hand with the topic here, but have you guys seen Asterix and the Vikings? Have to say it's definitely a good animated film if you ever get the chance to see it. They have a good set of actors playing the characters in the films.

This is going to sound very silly, but after Spiderman 3, I've had no desire to read any Spiderman books at all. I know, that sounds incredibly stupid. I've only read a few past books like Spiderman:Blue, House of M, and Civil War, but the actual comic books I'd rather not get deep with. Though I will admit, I did like Humberto Ramos' run on drawing Spiderman, I love his art style.

Dagnabit, some on beat me to my list, oh well... Ecco: Defender of The Future. Te music alone is worth the price of admission. One of Tim Follin's finest soundtracks. Good choice of Sonic Adv. 1 and 2. I'd also say Power Stone 1 (maybe 2's better?), Marvel VS. Capcom, Crazy Taxi 1 or 2, NFL 2K (I think that was made by Sega if I'm not mistaken). Jet Set Radio, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 wasn't too bad, Spiderman, Rayman 2 (trust me, excellent game). Overall, most of the Capcom games are excellent on the system. That's just from what I've played, you may find that differently. Can't think of any other games for it.

I've never seen a Pixar movie I haven't liked. A Bug's Life and Cars were probably not their strongest films, but still good in my opinion. They've consistently made a good film. And it's because of the stories they tell, the actors they choose. They don't just get big names to fill the space, they go through and pick the best voice possible for their characters. I remember Brad Bird saying that companies would eventually shoot themselves in the foot making an overabundance of c.g. movies, and I think it's happening about now. Maybe only the companies that are making GOOD movies will still be around?

Well, I've seen V for Vendetta edited (two versions from two different sites), and actually, they did a good job of it. One or two things weren't clear: the girl's note had little footage in the first cut I saw, the second cut made a little more sense, although I figured that she was a lesbian. I don't think Dr. Manhattan wouldn't be tastefully done, just, not something I'd want to see, I'm beatin a dead horse here. Yeah, I heard about the sex, yadda, yadda... there was a rape? Yikes (I've never read the book)... You're right it may not be a movie for me, I don't mind you being blunt. God I'm becoming more and more of a dork aren't I? Alright, you guys discuss the film, I'm bowing out of this topic for good.

Nah, just don't want to see it bouncing all over the screen (I doubt it does, just roll with the comment now), as Earnest P. World would say... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KS9_uMwt-lA

Ah, I get ya, I figured it out after I posted. Well, I like to rent movies edited from some websites (I won't name where, they'll probably get shut down again), so if when Watchmen comes out on dvd, and if they can edit it, then I'll give it a shot.

Have it for the wii, but haven't finished it. I ended up deleting it to get Sin and Punishment and Gunstar Heroes.

God no. I hate that term. I have no stand on politics whatsoever, nor will I, I'm neutral, and I'd rather be shot then follow idiots like Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Hannity, or Bill O' Reilly. I guess if you mean conservative thinking, not likely, considering I've never researched on what they're thinking is. I understand that's not the point of the movie of Dr. Manhattan being nude, I do, it's just something that would bother me with the movie. And DPaladin, I apologize, I thought you were implying I'm stupid, which is what I'll probably get for opening my mouth. I've seen movies with nudity in the past (Braveheart, Across The Universe, Beowulf, Titanic), I just don't care for that sort of thing, it's just, I don't know, I just never felt it was necessary in a movie and I refrain from seeing movies with that sort of stuff. But that's just me, I'm not saying that films need to be censored or anything, that's none of my business, and that's up to the director/artist to what he wants to do with a film. If that's what he/she does with their movie, fine, go ahead, I probably won't see it. But that doesn't mean I want to ruin everyone else's enjoyment of it, or make picket signs against it. Look, I won't say anything else about the movie and go through the obligatory flames I'll get for what I said before. I'm sorry, seriously.

That's one of the reasons. Sounds superficial/stupid, I know. I've read only a few things of Alan Moore, and I just couldn't get into most of it. Am I coming off as a prude? And I'm curious as to why me being from KY has anything to do with my comment. Never mind, forget I said anything jeez.

I don't plan on seeing this movie. I've never read the book. I was going to, but after seeing Dr. Manhattan being nude throughout the whole thing, I didn't want to. And I from what you guys have said, yeah, I figured he'd be nude throughout it. I know, staying true to the book. I'm not booing the film, I think it's great they're following the original book as close as possible. But I just have no desire to read it/see it. Yes, I'm aware that the book has very large underlying themes about super heroes, war, and questioning morale, all those sorts of great things to tell in a story, but, it's just not a book for me. Guess I'm the minority on this one, sorry guys.

Keep it coming guys! I'm anxious to hear this project!

Yes yes, they are, but I still like reading through their magazines.

From what I've heard, Tron 2.0 was to coincide with the movie. Unfortunately, the movie fell into production hell, but Disney and the Company making the game, was more than determined to bring the game out. As for Pixar handling the cg? That's really a good thing, if that's true.

I've tried, and tried, and tried to give Sonic every chance I could. I really have. I had great times with Sonic Adventure DX and Adventure 2 Battle (Chao Garden ate up so much of my time), Adv. 2 Battle was the first Gamecube game I had. Sonic Heroes was great in my opinion (Yeah, I'm sure I'm in the minority on that one), wasn't the same, but I enjoyed it (Minus Team Chaotix's missions, screw them). Sonic and The Secret Rings, was the beginning of the end for me with Sonic, it was just the start. I gave Sega a pass because it was a relatively, new format for them to start working on, motion controls and all that. I gave every chance I could to the first 360 Sonic game, and the loading times for every single thing took the exact same amt. of time. 20 seconds for a bit of dialogue? C'mon! I can understand a level, or the hub world taking that long, but to hear someone just say,"Oh! I'm gonna beat you!", why Sega? Why?! Then when I saw Unleashed, I thought maybe he'd return to form. But the Werewolf killed it. I still gave it a shot, but the frustration from the game's controls, nay, the boring Werehog stages, killed it. Look, I like beat-em up's, but when I play Sonic, I want to experience speed (ala FZERO GX? Anyone?). I've seen Nintendo Power's score for the game, I'm still leary of even wasting money to rent Sonic and The Black Knight. I usually ignore IGN's ratings. I smell a partial rat on this one, maybe they want people to buy Mad World? Sorry, Mad World isn't my kind of game (the style is nice, but the over the top violence ain't my bag). God, I hope Dave Halverson's (critic at Play Magazine) love affair with Sonic is over. Every single game of Sonic that's been released this generation, he's given high marks to, and I can't fathom why, beyond kissing butt to Sega. It's actually funny how he preferred the 360 vers. of Unleashed to the more "polished" version for the Wii. If anyone is daring enough to play this game, please, do tell us what it's like.

I haven't played the demo just yet, though I wanna give it a shot. I vividly remember playing LOTR Battle For Middle Earth 2 on the 360, and honestly, I loved it. It was done well, at least to me it was. The controls did take some time to get use to, but I think the game did a good job of leading you in. Because towards the last few places, man, I was a lean mean button pushing machine!

Nice to hear from you Evilhead, s'been a while. I agree that there are things that won't necessarily work in film format. Which is why I wonder why so many comic book fanboys can't get that through their thick skulls when certain films don't follow a comic page for page. I saw Sin City, and was bored by it. Sure, it looked neat, but honestly, if I wanted to see something that close to the source, I'd read it. I'm getting off topic here, but this is my little two cents. When it comes to following a book, game, comic book, cartoon series, etc., if liberties are taken, I'm okay with it. Granted, it shouldn't go too far out of left field from the source (Spiderman 3, countless others I'm sure), and as long as it doesn't completely screw things up, hey no problem.

For NES fans, A Boy and his Blob is a great game, and now, Wayforward Tech, the guys who made Shantae, LIT, Sigma Star Saga, etc., etc.. Wayforward is now helming a brand new game, thats, get this, HAND DRAWN! It's set to release this fall. http://www.joystiq.com/2009/03/03/a-boy-and-his-blob-detailed-in-latest-nintendo-power/

Really wish you would have waited for Black Mesa Source, which is a remake of Half Life, and completely overhauled physics, etc. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrHzvOWLE7c As far as the original, still love it. I vividly recall when my dad was buying me a new game, and I had the choice of Half Life or Tomb Raider Chronicles. I made the better choice obviously. But what I remember most, was when I had started playing the game, I just thought, what? Some little tram? Big deal, there wasn't a threat at all, but then, when the experiment started, and then your transported out, in between hearing bloody screams, seeing aliens, and hearing your heartbeat, I was petrified (this was 1998, er 99 I believe). I remember when I was playing at that part, I had the speakers up kind of loud, my parents were in the next room and they said, "WHAT'S GOING ON?!" So my dad came in and watched me play some of it. And then, HE STARTED playing it. And has been a fan of Half Life since. I've lost count of how many times he's beaten all of the official releases and expansions (Opposing Force, Blue Shift, Episode 1 and 2). In fact, he beat the first game before me. As far as the Alien planet. Zen is like a "inter-dimensional bus station", it's not the alien's homeworld. The Combine had the aliens pushed back to the wall, and the Resonance Cascade was like a last resort for them to get away. They just saw Gordon as another threat to them just as the Combine. http://www.members.shaw.ca/halflifestory/timeline.htm I can't even begin to consider what'll happen in episode 3, or Half Life 3 for that matter...

Well, hard to say, for some today, the effects are not that great. But that's for techno geeks that can't enjoy a film. I had a friend of mine who's about 16 watch it, and he didn't really like it. But I told him, it's just one of those movies you see as a kid, that you grow up with, and it stays with you, at least for ones like me. I'd say watch it, and judge it for yourself. You know that rhymes with his post right? But it's hard to say, if they treat it right, especially the source material, they might pull it off. But they don't need to repeat the original film scene for scene.

quoted you because I just did that today. I'm still waiting for Outrun Arcade to be on Live Arcade, then I won't be needing anymore games on the 360 for the rest of the year, as far as I'm seeing for the rest of the year right now. Oh, and Banjo Tooie since I never finished the original. And since they're smoothing out the frame rate issues (no more slowdown hopefully), I'm game. To be frank, I hated Banjo Nuts and Bolts, I gave it a shot, but the stuff I'd build wouldn't balance right. I'd steer only so far, and I'd do a 180. The enemies would knock off the parts, messing up the challenges, to the point of me wanting to throw the controller across the room. Then the tutorial was so, I don't know, not that helpful for me. And the challenges, what good is it for me to build something when the game already has a pre built vehicle to handle the situation? Banjo Land's Captain Blubber challenge protecting Clanker made me stop playing the game. But, the music was excellent. Banjo Land making reference to the first game was just golden for me, and the humor was great too. I just wish that game was centered on platforming only, I don't think it would have hurt the game to strictly bide by that (from what I've heard, Nuts and Bolts didn't fare so well in sales).
