This is the thread where we talk about how we installed an older game we had fond memories with as a child only to realize that it actually kind of sucks now.

I borrowed the game from a mate, and I have to say, I am a little bored. The graphics are awesome, the environments are beautiful, but I just can't get into it.
I am up to the Phendrana Drifts level, and I am wondering if it gets any better? Or, if I am not liking it this far in, should I give up?

WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO GUITAR HERO?
IGN has a preview of it, and it's not looking good. They've ditched the cartoon style of the first two and are going for a more realistic style in attempt to be "hardcore". The venues look okay but all the characters look like crap now.
Visuals aside, the preview doesn't inspire any confidence that things will be solid from a gameplay perspective either. They even mention that the developers can't figure out a good timing window for when to hit the notes and are bringing in GH players to tell them what to do. WTF?
One thing I did like is that co-op mode is now career based, like the single player game. They even hint that there may be songs only available in coop mode. There's also a new Battle mode, but how that would be any different from the existing face-off/pro face-off modes is beyond me.
Still, this preview serve to erode all confidence I had before that GH3 might not suck. Here's to hoping Rock Band is awesome (even though it means I'm gonna have to buy new accessories since it's 360 only).

Ok..so I've had a gameboy advance for years, but I've only played a few games on it. I've since started a schedule where I have some time to sit around and play a portable game, so I'm looking for suggestions.

As pissed as I am that I'm not playing a deep single-player RPG called Shadowrun, it's hard to be mad when you're killing trolls with katanas and summoning astral demons to murder your enemies.

Seriously, next time I have to review something like this, I'm just going to call up pwnage2132 and have him come cut my testicle sack with broken shards of glass.
For the curious, here's my scathing review:
Getting something new to review is sometimes like waiting to be kicked in the penis. You realize it has huge potentials of pain, but you also know you have to get through it one way or another. When this movie was placed into my hands I knew that I was in for some deep hurting. While I won’t go into how many beers it took to drink so I couldn’t feel feelings while watching this, I will say that a movie put out by a music label, and obviously marketed to sell albums by bands that are ON said label shouldn’t ever happen. This was similar to Queen of the Damned, with less Jonathan Davis, and a hell of a lot more distant-yet-brooding gothic thirty something “actorsâ€Â. Yet another reminder that marketing is one of the several reasons our society can’t have nice things. White Elephant gift this without hesitation.

I know most people won't see this, but after seeing Paprika for a second time, I have to share. Susumu Hirasawa is the composer for this movie (you might recognize his work from Berserk fame). It's just pure awesomeness all around. A great movie, great story, (and in the interest of this post) great soundtrack. If there's a theater in your area playing it, I highly suggest you attend a showing. Without further ado...
