Hang Out and Post

I'm glad they redesigned the box for Goldeneye, from how the N64 box was.

 

 

They're right. I can't unsee it.

 

I never unsaw it either. But at the same time that could easily be his finger that looks like an extension of his face.

 

But regardless, the new case looks better anyway.

[IrishLiz]

haha, I never noticed that. I played Goldeneye so much before that I don't think I could play it again. The gold classic controller is pretty awesome though. I still have my GameCube and 3 controllers, so I'm not worried about that.

 

I am annoyed by all the 3D stuff with the movies, but the 3DS interests me. Did you know that there's a switch that you can use so that you can see the 3D? It's because everyone sees 3D differently. Besides, I'm a HUGE paper mario fan, and it seems like that game would be awesome in 3D (yes, I know that's a bit ironic...)

 

I got my mom a DSi but I just have a regular ol' DS. I put a mushroom with a 1 up under it an yoshi eggs on the cover. :)

 

I never got into pokemon, but the Link DS is pretty awesome.

The gold classic controller is pretty awesome though. I still have my GameCube and 3 controllers, so I'm not worried about that.

 

I actually still have my Gamecube plugged in, and I still play it regularly since I don't like playing GC games on the Wii. I still have a working controller, but yet I still want to get a Classic controller, especially that gold one.

hmm, do I want Goldeneye, or Sonic Colors

decisions decisions

I was going to ask for Sonic Colors, but my brother wanted it so I let him put it on his Christmas list. Same with Kirby Epic Yarn.

 

It is actually a hard choice to make. Both games got rather good reviews, although I think Goldeneye got better reviews than Sonic Colors...

[IrishLiz]

Oh I definitely want Kirby's Epic Yarn. and Donkey Kong, and at least one of the Mario Galaxies (I haven't played either).

[Spritzie]

I've heard it so many times today, I have to ask... what is Kirby's Epic Yarn?

 

On a side note, I got the Neomail Addict avatar today. :D

[CAV of Gang Green]

at least one of the Mario Galaxies (I haven't played either).

 

Get Galaxy 2. It's better than the first.

 

I've heard it so many times today, I have to ask... what is Kirby's Epic Yarn?

 

Well, you should know about Kirby (the super tough pink puff, like they said in the ads). Epic Yarn is his new adventure, where Kirby is now a ball of yarn.

 

More info here.

[Spritzie]

I know nothing of Kirby. My husband laughed at me when I thought he was a Pokemon. :eh:

 

I don't know video games. At all.

 

Has anyone heard anything about the Epic Mickey game? It looked rather awesome.

[CAV of Gang Green]

Read about Kirby, then try one of it's games. You won't regret it.

 

Epic Mickey looks epic, but reviews are all over the dang place. Xplay gives it a perfect 5/5, then Gamespot gives it a 6/10. You have no idea who to listen to. So I'm just going to rent it.

[Tyler.]

gamespot sucks. let's leave it that. they gave Twilight Princess and 8.5 and RADIANT DAWN A FREAKING 6. it's my least favorite video game site, just beating 1up

it's a good game according to the best reviewers

[IrishLiz]

Hm... I've heard good things about Epic Mickey, but those were previews. I want to play it, but I'd rather have other games first.

 

Kirby's a fun character in Super Smash Brothers... (that's not where he's from, haha). I want Epic Yarn because it looks fun and tongue in cheek - my kind of humor. That's why I like the Paper Mario games.

 

Oh, if you get a DS, you should get Bowser's Inside Story. It has that same kind of humor. Lego Star Wars (and Lego Indiana Jones) is pretty funny too. It manages to make fun of the series while doing it enough justice to satisfy the nerds.

 

And congrats on getting the neomail addict avatar! That's awesome. :) I'm still trying.

 

Thanks for the recommendation about Mario Galaxy, CAV. I'll ask for the second one. :)

Hey, he does bear an uncanny resemblance to Jigglypuff! (I've never played Kirby either.)

I'm really excited for the new Okami game on DS. I know it won't hold a candle to the PS2/Wii game, but it looks adorable. I'm really a sucker for cute things, I'm slowly noticing. Sheesh.

[Tyler.]

okamiden will make me extremely happy

I'm not sure if I play epic yarn

and yea, galaxy 2 is the better

and all the Mario RPG's are amazing, I prefer the GBA one though (can't remember the name)

[IrishLiz]

What's Okami?

 

I just looked at my game magazine (gameinformer) review of Epic Mickey, and they said the concept is good but some of the tasks are mundane and some of the camera angles are bad. It got a 7/10, and then on further review, a 7.75/10.

That's what's so funny. "Epic" seems to be a favorite word nowaways and we were in Game Stop and they had an ad for it on the TV, and I told my husband they were making Mickey sound all epic. (I never use the word epic.) Not 5 seconds later, they said it was called Epic Mickey. I was highly amused. :laughingsmiley:

[Tyler.]

Okami is one of the best games I have ever played. You play the Japanese wolf sun goddess by the name of Amaterasu. The main thing is the celestial brush where you draw simple shapes to make objects. Which, in my opinion, works better on the Wii than the PS2. It has an interesting plot of Amaterasu trying to restore beauty to the demon-infested world. There is good humor and the characters are great. They all have personality and quite a few give you a chuckle or 2 thousand. The fighting system is a the weakest part but it isn't terrible. The world is huge and fun to explore. The bosses actually have story behind them. I recommend it to anyone who likes a good adventure game

[The Score in Blue]

Haha! I'm on break which means more time for Neo and games.

I'm planning to get Mario, which one should I get?

Okami is an INCREDIBLY gorgeous game. It's not very difficult, but it's so wonderfully made with an interesting story and lots of eye candy. Plus: cute wolf main character. Sometimes I just ran around going, "Yaaay, pupppppy!"

Here are some pictures from it:

I'm sure by the time I finish adding these images, someone will have posted about it already, haha.

[Tyler.]

well it depends what system you have and if it's ds do you prefer RPG or platformer

[Spritzie]

Wow. Those are really pretty pictures. I've never heard of that game. (I'm totally clueless about video games.)

[:)Doc]

So what'd I miss? I've been sleeping all afternoon and practicing for All-Region :P

[IrishLiz]

Oh thanks for the pictures. Don't worry Spritzie, I had never heard of it either. :)

I grew up playing compute games instead of video games. You know... Chip's Challenge, Frogger, Theme Park, Rollercoaster Tycoon.

I didn't grow up with those games. But I certainly loved playing them, and play them occasionally these days.

I grew up with games like Tetris and Pacman.
