Finished The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time for the 35th time... It still has its magic.

I love that game. I'm currently trying to get my N64 back off my brother so I can play that and Smash Bros.




On a different note: Have any of you PS3 owners had a crack at Macross 30? I am toying with the idea of picking it up but since I don't understand a word of Japanese, I thought that might take all the fun out of it and instead turn it into an exercise in pure frustration.

I made/asked Valkyrie 76 pick it up for me while he was in Japan. He has 'borrowed' it so I haven't been able to have a crack yet. But it looks promising. One of my favourite Ps2 games was a Macross game, mainly because it combined the three modes uses really well, controlled well and had awesome dogfights!

Apparently it plays similar to the psp macross games if that's any indication. As soon as Valks gets bored of it (won't be long now ) I'll have it for a more informed decision.

Yeah I have never owned a psp or played any type of macross game. As with you I thought it looked pretty cool but I dunno… the story is a major part of what attracts me to most games. If I can't even understand it the gameplay had wanna be awefantabulastic to make up for it.

Picked up Super Metroid on the Wii U, for thirty cents, because how could I not? Love that game.

anyone else excited about the "xbox one" ?

i got the email from microsoft this morning... it shows details of forza 5!!!!

cant come quick enough

I stayed late up to watch (as is tradition for this kind of announcement!) but was pretty unimpressed.

None of the tv shit or any of the games they announced interest me. To top it all off they design probably the ugliest, biggest console ever and make the controller uglier too while they were at it! Used game blocking is gonna be horrible as well.

For me the whole announcement gave Wii U a bit of life and left PS4 with a better chance.. but i guess waiting till E3 till they show more games for all of them would be wise before passing judgement!

A friend predicted the end of consoles and a gaming market implosion like the 1980s in the near future. So far it's all leading there with such poorly thought out 'Appeal to non-gamers by alienating real gamers' business plans.

After the crash, the PC will once again rise from the ashes...It always does.

The Xbox One is a joke, really. I'll stick with the Wii U and tentatively the PS4.

The xbox one so ugly ! ...look like an old dvd player from the 90s .... the designer must of had a late night before the dead line and just brought in his old dvd from the garage " look heres the latest design " a square box !

Wow. just had a quick squizz at some stuff and well, they expect EVRYONE to have their xbox online? Ha h aha ha! I very much doubt that eveyone has their console online. I know that I won't be buying an xbox whatever they wanna call it.

Heck, with the way things are going, I doubt I'll even bother with the PS4. All this social business and online crap, I think they have forgotten the reason people buy consoles. To play the GAMES.

Bye bye console market, it was nice while it lasted. I'll just stick with my saturn, Dos games and C64 by the looks of things
