doom has dark rooms and flickery lights, but it's not the same kind of darkness. it's not a BROODING darkness, a DREAD darkness. doom uses darkness for jump scares and quick thrills, because doom is ...

Played some of the Original Doom on 360 today, and its certainly creates a different atmosphere from Doom 64. Doom 64 is a lot more dark and scary, but I get the impression that may have to do with th ...

Just to throw it in the ring:

EGMs top 20 (of their top 200 from 2006)

1. Super Mario Bros.
2. Pac-man
3. Street Fighter 2
4. Tetris
5. The Legend of Zelda
6. Super MArio 64
7. Space Invad ...

You're just being ethnocentric. Fighting games are more revered in Japan then in Australia or other western countries and Smash Bros is a critically acclaimed series over there, even if in the Wes ...

Whats the opinion on Doom 64?

I am playing it right now, and I am really loving it. But that may also because its the first time I have played a Doom game properly and with focus. When I was a kid ...

SSBB got a 40/40? I have to imagine in retrospect they will wish they did not give it that. I like the game, and its fun. But its hardly "Perfect" Considering the whole platformer portion controls lik ...

Only ONE game from pre-PS1/Saturn?!

What a bunch of trendy morons.

Boy, I really dislike Ash. Or rather I really hate how Japan really likes the idea of any man being possible transvestite.

Carcassonne, I guess. Don't know much about it, but seems more interesting than anything else on your list.

But I would get that Overlord game, the demo was fun + funny. I like how the servents wil ...

Judging from the few pictures I have seen of your TV, I am sort of amazed you even bothered hooking a 360 up to it. I can only imagine all the text that is nothing but a blurry mess. And I can't imagi ...

when i say prince of persia is awkward, i'm not referring to the control (which i didn't get the opportunity to really experiment with) but more to the imposition of the sands of time prince into jord ...

so prince of persia is awful. it's hideous and awkward, and even if you turn hints off, switch plates still glow - orange for ones that open doors, red for ones that close them. the gameloft really do ...

but luckily I can abandon the orange site now and use

Hmmm, I just clicked on a random game (Excitebike) to see how their set up was, and the very first thing they say to describe Excitebike is, " ...

Ive been on a Will Oldham kick as of late. Listening to "I see a Darkness" under his Bonnie "Prince" Billy moniker, as well as "Greatest Palace Music", which are songs he made under the various "Palac ...

Pitbulls, sheesh. I understand that Pitbulls are a really tough dog, and are excellent fighters and all that. But I imagine its mostly the owner that unleashes that ability in the dog. Everyone I have ...

Saw this in the theater back in January. Easily my second favorite movie relesed in 2006. Todd Field rules, if you have not seen "In the Bedroom", see it, its amazing as well. I would say I prefer Lit ...

I believe that not to be true.
It is! You can even keep your current region's games. This is pretty much only restricted by which countries you can select in your options menu. There are some videos ...

Also, notable as a noun refers to an important person, not anything you consider worthy of note.
In my experience, he could be maybe referring to Mario as an important person (presumably). But the ve ...

The following is not a fake screen shot.

Whatever the hell that is, it certainly looks neat. But that Square logo suggests it will ...

Virtua Tennis 3 just feels weird. Im not really sure though, have not played one sicne the first on DC. But with three is felt really stiff, and your character will ALWAYS dive for shot. It just does ...

Sorry Don Marco, did not get a chance to go to my parents. So no guides.

virtual console shennanigans.

i've been mostly playing soldier blade, which has a pretty and inventive main game but the main draw is caravan mode, which has an excellent five-minute stage full of ...

I actually might, but they would probably be at my parents house. I may be going down there this weeked, and could dig a bit. Only guides I have here off the top of my head are one for GTA: San Andrea ...

*Beef Bump*

Well I have not sat down and directly compared the two, but now that I think about I would assume they are nearly identical. I just remember when I got Ultimate Qix being very dissapointed by the non- ...

Found more Loose Cart genesis games, so I added those to the list.

Chiki Chiki Boys, Contra Hard Corps, Landstalker, Flashback and potentially Steel Empire have been spoken for by people.

Dess, if you want those games send me an offer. Chiki Chiki Boys is already ...

I need money! I have all sorts of games for sale! Best fair offer accepted!

Im only going to be selling these games through this week, and might pull it down sometime on the weekend, so I can put t ...

I wonder what sort of updates he has planned for this. I would like for him to add something that leads you into space.

Yeah the game is pretty much 100% graphics. The jumping and running are fun, but extremely rare is any of it neccessary to really do something. I mean you have to jump up the ledges to get to a place, ...

Well I just checked out both of those comics. Leisuretown comics seem to long for my tastes (90 pages, no thanks!), Jerk City I can see myself enjoying however. I love Jim Woodring, but I do not l ...

knytt.

This game more so than any other on this list so far.

Still, Ristar is a pretty good addition. That game is tits.

Understatement.

I've never played it... what separates it from other typical platformers? Judging based upon it's Wikipedia article, ...

The official Nintendo Press Release lists Donkey Kong Jr. as a Super Nintendo game. Nice job.

You beat it already? I didn't even try it yet. That makes me sad.

If you notice that my first post in this thread was at 9:00 PM, and my next which directly fallowed me beating it was 10:52 PM. I ...

Yeah the game is extremely enjoyable...but I just beat it. At least I am assuming I did, in the credits it mentions "Secret Game Music" which makes me think there is something more to discover. I know ...

So far I have only found one part, but I have traveled what seems to be a extreme distance. Ive just been basically exploring, and not really hunting for items. The one I did find I just stumbled upon ...

i lost a staring contest to a squirrel yesterday. in my defense i was drinking vodka, and i hate vodka.

What was the squirrel drinking?

Just completed Little Samson (NES) for the first time today...on Easy. Now I have to beat on Normal. But beating it on Easy was well worth it, at least I am assuming so, because during the credits the ...

I thought that this was still widly used for News broadcasts. Am I wrong?!

I'm also listening to the new Clipse record: Hell Hath No Fury. It's fucking HOT.

Whats the deal with this record? Its like the official indie music scene Rap album right now.

I am currently half way through "Soundtracks for the Blind", this album is so far fantastic. I can't really comment on it too much since I am only at track number 14 (the sound) of 26. It could be the ...

Ever listened to Swans?

Ive been meaning to get an album of theirs for a while. I have heard chunks, and none of it ever sounded the same. Which is the best to start off with?

Rules were made to be frozen.

EDIT does anyone have oink or indietorrents or any other good music tracker invites?

I sent you a PM.
