What's so bad about Fatal Fury Special?

It's clunky, unbalanced, and an all around unremarkable fighting game. It's debut is even more disappointing, since SNK could've chosen one of the many exce ...

This week on XBLA we have AHAHAHAHAHA Fatal Fury Special.

nice job on the selection there, SNK. on the bright side, it looks like SNK Playmore ported it themselves, instead of some third party, an ...

gears of war: act 3. coincidentally the prettiest stage.

we can't make a game that isn't brain training that won't offend anyone Sad

Oh, and Recca is hell of sweet though brutally fast. I just wish it was on a more powerful system, because the flickering really gets to me.

try running recca on nestopia with the sprite limit tu ...

mass effect looks pretty classy.

i like my space epics though. i'll let you guys know how it plays once it comes out, it's pretty clear no one who's posted here is going to give a bioware game a s ...

crackdown is very much a joke. anyone who thinks otherwise didn't finish it Smile

FORZA MOTORSPORT 2

final fantasy six is kinda steampunk-y. there seem to be a few examples of it in anime, but the nice settings are usually marred with the typical anime baggage.

at least i look good Very Happy

i don't feel guilty when i wear my sweatshop shoes. i guess that makes me a bad person Sad

i was a really big fan of quake 3 arena in the times. that game has the best sniper weapon (the railgun) of all time, and some really fantastic mods.

ah. i was wanting to use my avatar, but i suppose i'll just stick with lumines guy.

i seem to be seeing a lot of people on xbox live with custom gamer pictures. exactly how does one go about using one of those? i've heard the only way to do it is by photographing something with tha ...

you too can STRIKE BACK AGAINST NIKE with hipster snark. i was with them till the red spot.

you can enter at level 1. sheogorath is messing with you. just hang out in front of the portal a bit and wait for him to start talking about how nice it is inside.

so guys, this thread appears long dead and devoid of shivering isles talk, so i'm going to revive it!

i started playing shivering isles on the xbox 360 the other day because damn if this game doesn ...

At least keep posting in the Axe, Vinc!

why? i had a fucking mob screaming for me to be banned because i played a certain drama situation for laughs. i don't want anything to do with the kinds of ...

hey. most of you know me, and i've been posting on TGQ for a while, so i think i'm only posting in this thread as a formality Very Happy

i like the positive vibe and good discussion here, as opposed to th ...

you know, i don't dig on oldham enough, especially considering he's from the city i live in!

gonna whore out dungen's tio bitar some more > Neutral

Man, just streamline the ugly out of that drawl and you will come out 100% Southern Gentleman.

Lately, I've fallen in love with Natsumen's NEVER WEAR OUT YOUR SUMMER XXX !!!. It's this wonderful mix of sprawling prog/post rock and squealing improv jazz. A combination like that might sound pre ...

Also, if you dig the mellow side of Boris, check out Soundtrack to the Film Mabuta No Ura (not an actual movie.)

If you want to hear them at their most pretentious yet awesome, Flood is the way to ...

Dhex, the next time Boris swings by your neck of the woods, I highly recommend seeing them. They slaughter live.

It's Boredoms' Christmas album. I'm only half joking.

It's a live recording from Christmas 2005. It opens with sleigh bells and heavenly chanting, and then turns into the drum section going all o ...

Import, sir. Though, I just downloaded it. I refuse to pay stupid high import CD prices. I'll buy it if Vice picks it up, though! It's really quite lovely.

Oh, wow. Holy shit. Hey, dhex, something just came out that you might be interested in:

I didn't know they did a Peel Session. I think I'm going to hunt this down. If it's anything like the Melt Banana Peel Session (which is miles better than any of their recorded material) I expect to ...

Well, if my experience is any indication, it might just up and refuse to run properly no matter what!

I hope they fix some of this stuff.

dhex, I'm pretty sure there's a 360 version coming as well. I don't know if you own one of those or not, but that's always an option.

So, I was wondering something.

I tried installing and playing this but it absolutely CHUGS on my PC (which runs Oblivion at near max settings pretty smoothly.) Is it because I'm a filthy pirate an ...

This will probably be the first GTA I buy since... GTAIII!

And, the whole time while watching that trailer I couldn't help but think "gawdamn I wish that was the city for Crackdown"

The cunt in ...

I think Grado recently came out with some portable form factor 'phones that are quite nice, so make sure to give them look.

Hahaha, those are just the cans from the SR-60s with a behind-the-head de ...

Neon Bible is a really weird album. It thrives off paranoia and uneasiness, and works those emotions in a very subtle manner. It'll grow on you.

"Antichrist Television Blues" is probably the best ...

I thought the combat was fun. If you can find it for $10, I'd pick it up.

on henry jacobs: no, cause i think i kinda lumped him in with harry parch and that sort of thing.

on scotch egg: yes, that video with the chicken is great.

this is pretty good too after the intr ...

Dhex, are you familiar with DJ Scotch Egg? You should be.

The PS3, obviously. The wife can take an extra job and the kids can sell lemonade (drugs) just to afford it!

Titan Quest is nice, but it's heavy on the system requirements, kinda buggy, and not as fast as good ol' D2X.

Dhex, I think the Diablo Battle Chest is like $30 now. It's Diablo, Diablo 2, and the ...

I named Link THIEF and the horse HORSE. I think this was the best thing to do.

Dhex, play Final Fantasy XII.

I think you'll really like Black. It does the things exploding thing very well.

This thread reminds me that I need to play FEAR. I can get behind any game that ...

I don't understand why people get so upset about what other people are doing on the television. I think the "moral/cultural outrage" center of my brain is broken.

Don't fault a game because you don't know how to play it. Now, if you want to criticize the game for requiring you to learn everything about it so you can really enjoy it, go right ahead. That's a p ...

I run most things fine on a gig. I could stand for 2, though.

Dude, Devil May Cry 3 was also 2005. It's that game that Joe and I keep telling you is the proper re-working of the brawler. =P

Yeah, I love having to figure out what pattern to use on a boss and t ...

Kirby Superstar
beatmaniaIIDX (Yes, I'm one of those people too.)

After checking out images of the Aero interface for Vista, I'm reminded of something I've always hated about Windows operating systems: the sense that it determines for me how I organize my files. Al ...

So, that was quick.
