Late Night Consoling

Hahahaha oh snap Remo, you're so edgy and in-my-face with the N-Gage!

Oh, and analysts.... :rolleyes:

Just got finished with Shadow of the Colossus, took me a little bit over 10 hours. Excellent game, excellent music, excellent everything. I'm somewhat pleased with the ending, but it still seems a little vague. Anyways, as 1UP said, after you beat it, you unlock some new stuff ( Time Attack, and Hard Difficulty ), so I'm gonna play it over again.

In honor of tonights CGOTE, this video deserves a repost.

"It's so bad"

As an employee in the electronics production industry, I can tell you that if information about production issues actually leaves the confines of the production floor, they've got to be pretty bad. Looking back at the XBOX, how many revisions have we seen to the original design? Seven I believe? Not to mention a DVD player that crapped out on nearly all early units it was shipped on, and a power cord that could cause fires. Not to say that these analysts numbers are dead on, but the fact that the public has gained knowledge of production issues is cause for some concern in my eyes, especially considering that Microsoft doesn't have a spotless track record in the hardware quality department.

Quickie notes:
- Shadow of the C: Awesome graphics and gameplay - it looks to have very very weak story ties with Ico but quickly breaks its own ground. Really, however, this game really is pushing the age of the PS2 and the need to get the PS3 on the scene fast.
- Jak X - Think Wipeout Pure or Rollcage in the Jak world. Too early to see what other goodies come in, but looks beautiful with ND's engine.
- Stubbs - Everything "Destroy All Humans" wanted to be and more. Braaaaains. So far, so good.
- THAW - Eh, it's Tony Hawk, story mode is already overly contrived but that's not what you buy THAW for anyway.
- Fire Emblem - Take the play of the GBA games, make the graphics super sweet with the GC, and you get this. Well, what else did you expect? Can't wait to see if they do Advance Wars this way.

Still have to install FEAR and Q4, and as mentioned elsewhere, my BB had Castlevania DS on the shelves but haven't had a chance to play. Also, definitely pick up Phoenix Wright (review has been submitted) - Awesome game if you don't mind a LOT of dialog but it works well.

I'm five collosi into Shadow of the Colossus and I am super impressed. The physics is amazing, not to mention the amazing art and "level design" on the colossi.

Easily one of the best games of the year.

So if the Gizmondo only displays ads before it shuts off, then what's the problem? Hit the "off button" and put it away, let the ads play for a bit in your pocket before it dies? Or am I missing something here?

But on the other hand... Built in ads in hardware is retarded.

"Extreme Remo" looks like a drunken pirate.

Nintendo chose a terrible wifi profider for the DS in Canada.

From what I gather at their website, they only cover Vancouver and Calgary a little.

I could understand not covering Quebec, but they don't even have some access points in Ontaria.

Booh!!!

I swear to God this is a true story.

When it first came out, I wanted a Powerglove so bad, I was beginning my parents to buy one. But they wouldn't because it was like $100. But I kept begging them. Finally my Dad told me, "Tell you what, put your hand in a sock, and wrap cellophane tape around one of those little controllers and tape it to the sock by your wrist just like the glove has, and see how great the games are with it."

So I tried it, and trying to play games with the controller on my wrist sucked. I never ever asked for a power glove again and boy am I glad I didn't get one.

If Microsoft can manage to do a world wide release relatively sucessfully it will be a major blow to Sony.

if I were ever to cover that game in LNC, it would be referred to as "Sticky Balls (GIZ)."
Hahaha! Thanks for the laugh, Chris.
