^ Nice!

Killzone 3 multiplayer looks pretty cool actually.

Yeah. I remember playing Killzone 2's multiplayer for like ages with the local guys. Definitely want to get 3.

Me and my nephew downloaded a few demos to try out. Monsters vs Aliens was very meh (though my neophew love it so to each his own I guess). Lego Harry Potter is ok. But what I was really surprised at was the quality of Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 2. That game's pretty good! I have no clue at all about Naruto, but the fighting was pretty good. More than that though, the game looks spectacular. It looks just like the anime, it's really impressive.

Naruto Ninja Storm games are really good. I still need to get the 2nd one but I completed the first one 100%

Just preordered Pokemon White and at the same time brought the Dissidia Strategy Guide because it was cheap. Waiting to see how much the Legacy Edition of Duodecim is on GAME

I just bought today some Wii-Points Cards

And with the Wii-Points I got from the cards, I bought the Phoenix Wright Trilogy and Bubble Bobble from the Wii Shop Channel!

So, I finished Corkscrew Follies.

Going into it I thought a lot of them were going to be difficult. They were not, however, as bad as I thought.
Pickle Park was probably the only one that had me sweating bullets at the end. 1400 guests with no advertising is pretty lame.
I only had like 1436 guests at the end so I was glad to see that one was over.

Canary Mines was also surprisingly difficult.

Favorites:
Funtopia
Magic Quarters
Mineral Park

Least favorites:
Canary Mines
Thunderstorm Park
Harmonic Hills

Now on to Loopy Landscapes!

a) Laugh out loud
b) Shake your head in disgust
c) Facepalm

Oh and spoiler alert, Mario's No.1

I like COD games, but no way in hell do they belong in any top character list, let alone having 3 in there. Shadow? Spyro? Goku and Naruto?! They aren't even (technically) game characters! A majority of the votes had to be from a young audience.

Ayako-Luna · « **Reply #1091 on:** February 17, 2011, 10:16:20 PM »

Ahahahahaha!

Wish, Cloud could be No. 1.... But noooo... Mario must be No. 1 ><
But glad that he and Sonic are at least in the Top 10!

I can understand, that Pikachu made it to the TOp 50 but why ASH?! He is an Anime character!! Not a Game character! The game protagonist of Pokémon WAS based off from Ash!

Impossible to tell how Dead Island will turn out, but this is undeniably, a very impressive trailer:

coachie · « **Reply #1093 on:** February 18, 2011, 04:12:19 PM »

^ LOL you beat me to it, I was just about to post the trailer.

Really emotional three minutes!!!
From the trailer alone I'd say it's a survival horror game, but I read somewhere that it's a shooter?

Talking awesome trailers...

I haven't touched a Beat'em Up since Tekken3, but those Marvel Vs. Capcom Episode Trailers make it really hard to resist.
Esp. since it has Wolverine AND X-23.

I thought there was some kind of rule against child zombies appearing in games

10/10 would burst into flames again. Fuck that list and the 10 year olds that voted for the shit therein

The only COD character that should definitely be there is Captain Price. He's a classic and has been in every COD game from the beginning. I honestly don't even remember "Soap" MacTavish or "Ghost" Riley are and I played through those games.

As great as the Half Life games are I'm never sure Gordon Freeman should be high on character lists. You never see or hear him. He's whatever the player thinks he is. It's like having Commander Shepard on the list or something. Ratchet and Jak should include Clank and Daxter respectively, everyone knows they are the interesting and funny ones. Also Spyro should be much higher IMO. Just ignore the post PS1 stuff he kicked butt and those games on the PS1 were amazing.

Basically those lists always end up being the most popular mascots not the best characters but eh who cares.

UGH!!!! PS3 just got the YLOD earlier today while my bro was playing Marvel Vs Capcom 3. All those long hard hours of Gran Turismo 5 are gone!!! Might take it to a shop or follow a DIY guide to make it last long enough to do the data transfer.

Good luck man, YLOD is just shit.
