ian said:

Yes PLEASE post photos of Metal Gear! Oh and anything on FFXII if any...

ian said:

Oh yes of course! How silly of me!

Well thats that sorted then, im getting Sons Of Liberty as im assuming its better than Substance.

What about AvP Extinction?? I kinda heard its pants unless yr a fan of the AvP world, yr views Mr. Kiigan??

Havva good time at ECTS, i'da thought U wudda bin busting the copywright laws sending pix etc but any insight from an expert like U would be cool. So thanx in advance, i look 4ward 2 reading yr reports.

ian said:

EWWW!!! I was kidding!!! Jag CD... *shudders*

ian said:

Project Zero? That is Fatal Frame for the U.S. right? Dancing Stage MegaMix? ??? I agree with all of them (except perhaps Dancing Stage MegaMix, what IS that???) but Auto Modellista, that game just sucks. Oh, and Eyetoy, since I haven't tried that, and Gran Turismo: Concept, since that ISN'T AVAILABLE IN AMERICA

I would like to add a few!

• Virtua Fighter 4: Evo (Only 20 bucks)
  
• Amplitude
  
• Devil May Cry
  
• Splinter Cell
  
• Maximo
  
• Final Fantasy X (Not my thing, but a lot of people like it.)
  
• Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3
  
• Dynasty Warriors 4
  

Strangly there is a difference between the ( and the ). Who knew? edit

Okay

I heard Hideo Kojima is gonna be around too so I might get to practise my Japanese and giggle like a demented fanboy

Actually they are the same Get Substance though. Substance is just a collection of "Sons of Liberty" and loads of extras for the fans - including a skateboarding game, lots of VR missions, some Snake missions etc. Get it on PS2, better than the Xbox version, less slowdown, better controls etc.

Also, if you get Substance on PS2 you get an extra disk - "The Document of Metal Gear Solid 2" which has lots of behind-the-scenes making-of stuff. Cool for fans of the serious like me (I even bought the art books for MGS and MGS2)



My opinion of AvP Extinction - the best AvP games were 1. AvP on the Jaguar 2. AvP on PC 3. AvP 2 on PC. If you've already played these games and love the series, Extinction is more of the same except on a console and not as good. If you haven't played those other games, I recommend getting them on budget for PC, coz they are cheaper and better

And shootier!

TwIsTeDmInD said:

Yeah sorry - Fatal Frame in the US and Japan. Great game, oodles of style, very spooky.



It's the latest in the Konami dancing games, for PS2. It's great fun! I like all the Konami music games - Guitar Freaks, Drummania etc.



I'd agree with VF: EVO if (and only if) you have an arcade stick. It's a very tough game though, a lot of depth. Amplitude looks great, I'd agree. Devil May Cry is okay for a hack-n-slash. Splinter Cell is shite on PS2 - it really has to be the Xbox version or nothing dammit! The rest you listed are pretty good though.

ian said:

Oh, okay. It might be under a different name here, since I have not heard of it. Those are great games.

I recommend VF: EVO no matter what. Great game. Devil May Cry is good! Come on, you don't have to add "for a hack-n-slash" it is cool and you know it. Splinter Cell for the PS2 isn't good? Says who? Come on, a little bit dummed down or nothing? Take the PS2 version if you have no XBOX.

ian said:

Oh yeah, you are getting all smug when you know its the truth. And you are sitting here having a tantrum when fiveminuteriot is out there desperatly trying to hock his music. For shame...

TwIsTeDmInD said:

I'm like, just buy an Xbox dammit! They're so cheap now. Sell a kidney or something. Play Splinter Cell as it was intended to be played

Let them eat cake!

(see, I'm in the arrogant org mafia now...)

Sell a kidney... DrNick might like this!

Did someone mention the words KIDNEY and SELL???

Actually I admit I haven't played the PS2 version of Splinter Cell. But it looks so ugly... after the Xbox version, it would just break my heart!

DoctorNickRiviera said:

:O :O :O My God man, you just get here so fast... you don't let oppurtunity pass you up do you? I love it.

TwIsTeDmInD said:

NEVER!

i can perform emergency ops in alleyways with a pen-knife

ian said:

You haven't even played it... well neither have I, but you are in the arrogant mafia and I am allowing myself to be let in, so why don't we both just keep our opinions and keep a grudge until the end of time?

DoctorNickRiviera said:

Charge full price I hope!

TwIsTeDmInD said:

what do you take me for??? a Presbyterian Hospital Doctor?! now then, off to the meat market to find some "organs"

DoctorNickRiviera said:

Those "organs" can you get them by the gallon?

TwIsTeDmInD said:

Abdul and Ali sort the doc out with anything

Bring me back a pancreas! Take something out, and put one of those babies in. They will come back to you! I love it!

ian said:

Cool! Hideo Kojima! Please allow me to get my fanboy giggles in: *ahem* tee hee! Domo arigato gozaimas!

I also have all 3 ps2, xbox, gcube. The ps2 does have the
most games. Even a great mix for younger players. the gcube was initially ment for younger player but realized early on that they were losing players due to such formatting. The xbox has the best graphics thus far. Not to mention the live play. The ps3 will have online play as long as it has a network adapter. But depending on how old your nephew is he won't care about that. I would go with ps2 it has the greatest number of choices for games and if India is going to be getting it soon he will have plenty to choose from by the time you give it to him.

I have all 3 and loves them equally

At the moment Gamecube is my favorite

Viewtiful Joe
F Zero
Mario Golf

Much love Pochacco
