Also has anyone seen that little pop-up game that is sometimes down the bottom of pages on wiichat? It's like a little thing of Guitar Hero...I was wondering if there was like a flash games that anyone know of like that?

 

[Diomedes]

You could try the flash version of portal

When i saw that list i was devastated, however nintendo quickly acted shortly after the release stating that the release date is to be confirmed. In addition to this Kaplin expresses her understanding of how much grief these terrible delays were.

Fingers crossed that it will be in the first half of next year.

FYI SSB was delayed 4 months and SSBB delayed 9 months. Expect no less of this.

We usually get games before UK anyway. Have a look at ign's release dates.


oops, double post below... sorry folks

Happy Birthday! Hope you had a great partay

I am now halfway through galaxy the second time but now i stopped because i recently got orange box. Its bloody awesome, even on the lowest settings in everything [thanks to my trusty notebook]. Half-Life 2 and Portal for the win!

But now is the time for me to get a new notebook and i have 2 choices [3 actually but who cares]

HP Compaq 6910p Excellant notebook processor Core 2 duo 2.4GHZ and a class 3 graphics card ATI Mobility Radeon X2300 - 128 MB. It will be a decent upgrade from my other laptop and ill be able to use HDR in HL2-Lost Coast. The fingerprint scanner and extremily sturdy casing is a great bonus. $3,300

MacBook Same processor but with 2GHZ in the up-end model and a class 5 graphics card Intel GMA 950. Its almost a downgrade from my current [and unrepairable] laptop however it is faster and has the extra OS [10.5 leapord] so synching my ipod will FINALLY be an simple task. However due to the unbearable crappy graphics card, i wont even be able to play the original Half-Life. Even running project64 will be a problem. $2,600

Save your income for a macbook pro. My brother got one the other day (he didn't have to pay for it :mad2 and it is insane! He put windows on their for the games, not that he plays them that often anyway, but OSX is freakin awesome.

By the way, orange box... any good?'

EDIT: double post

 

[gpoleweski]

ORANGE BOX IS FREAKING AWESOME!!!
Best value you'll ever get...

MacBook Pro's are good especially with I thinks it's Leopard? Because then you have bootcamp which can run windows, but as you said, save up your money...because for one of them it's alot! Especially if you want lots of RAM and Hard Drive and stuff...Thanks Yeungy for that link...that's cool....kinda, I got a GH one yesterday on the net...IT WAS CRAP!

[Deanis]

So errmmm...back to Wii news. Does anyone else go into a games store and think "wow, the Wii's lineup is already starting to look like Gamecube's?"
There is soo much crap out on it that I'd never touch let alone rent...

 

[Yeungy]

Better bump this thread back up...

 

[Jav]

yeh deanis i know where you are coming from.
there is a lot of crap out there at the moment but still some absolute cracking games on the way that you all know what they are.

for the first time in a long time im going to get a mario game, havent bought one since super mario bros 3. its been too long mario!

 

[Ekiushi]

Yeah, true, there are a lot of crappy games. But that said, I was looking at PS2 games and I saw quite a few that I wouldn't want to even touch. Not that I would touch a 'good' PS2 game either. But then - Wii really needs to hurry up with the release of its good games. I really want SSBB and Mario Kart!

 

[Deanis]

Oh there was a hell of a lot of PS3 games I wouldnt consider either. Just saying that this year really has brought some below par Wii games: Kororinpa, all those movie tie-ins, GT Pro...the list goes on.
Still I only buy the good stuff.
