True, I absolutely loved that game. Shame I can't see Nintendo following it up. They'd most likely go out of their way to install a shitty Wii controller aspect gimmick. Ya know, JUST BECAUSE THEY CAN.

The saying is 'one a thief always a thief'. You can't just put your own little spin on words and put it in an old phrase.

Thanks for the update MT you legend

Now that j00bie's out of the way, its time to tackle Hamy-jamy with the highest gap I've ever had to take on. BRING. IT. ON.

Banjo-Tooie needs a spiritual sequel, I would die a happy man if I could run around in glorious 360 colours and collect jiggies the old fashioned way. Not to say I don't like N & Bs, I loved that game with its quirks and epic battle at the end. Also, Donkey Knog 64 though Nintendo would most likely rape it.

Hardly head-shots, more like 'neck shots'. I have to agree with Gears headshot, it was the first that popped into my head upon reading the thread title. Also Brother In Arms has some awesome head shots.

Didn't think I got that much though I guess its been a while. Awesome update, must have taken a while so it deserves a big congrats.

yesh that was kinda a to easy and stupid last boss in bioshock :/

I was impressed and disappointed at the same time because it was so at odds with the game being it was serious and fast-paced.

What about all those people who don't have a super fast internet? That's some sad fucking news, but then again Nintendo's notorious for pissing its fans off with radical decisions.

Currently playing through BioShock for the second time for the missed achievements; also its a good way to get acquainted until the next one comes out. After I've done the Diary run (weapon upgrades etc) achievements I'm going for the Brass Balls one. I reckon it'll be just like Dead Space's Impossible though, I put it off and then breeze through it.

I bought it for $10 a while ago. Was decent for $10 but not decent enough to keep. So I sold it for $20.

Sweet deal, eh?

Very sweet, I paid the absurd amount of $ 30 for it which I guess would be around $ 20 in America. Good for gamerscore but not for THAT price.

PS2 was coming out, the creator's a fan of hyping up his own work so much people held out for it. When Microsoft and Nintendo confirmed consoles it was more or less the final nail in the coffin.

If this came out all weird I'll be annoyed -_- Anyway this is pretty interesting, should be able to pass Crev easily by the next update though with ElDavid it could go either way since he's not that far away but his pace is high. I should probably B/P since its the easiest stat to rise but nah.

All of which are pretty ordinary I assume. Fracture's shit when you first play it, its just one of those games grow on you the more you play it and get used to it. Achievements easy anyway if you want to wrestle with its campaign.

Toward the end its pretty fun because you have to create different means of killing the enemies and the environments are actually pretty destructive. Makes it interesting anyway, the 'underground' levels are frustratingly shit.

Stupidest trend I ever saw while I was at school were a stack of people wearing bandanas and skinny leg jeans. They claimed it was the 'BMX' culture which I sincerely doubted since most of the stuff they wore stemmed from the 'emo culture.

Might go back and try and finish Frature tonight even though its pretty bad, no scratch that. The checkpoint system is fucked and the enemies all look the same but its alright once you get the hang of it. I'm actually hoping they'll bring out a Fracture 2 but with some improved mechanics and controls. anyone here even played it?

Logic could have given about the same amount of information your post did.

Sounds a bit odd but if it means we'll keep you then it doesn't matter too much. At least then we'll see some good numbers, possibly some high 3-digit numbers from me, Molotov, Ericho and err Coop ;) I agree anyway with it being slow, no one cares for reviews as much as they used to :(

Good to see Hamy-jamy losing a few, it'll help make it easier to crack the top ten which has been a dream of mine for quite some time... need to motor if I want to get there by the end of the year. Looks like I need around 400 + each month to get there. HMMMM

Did you click 'save changes'? sometimes that button takes a little while to load so you might miss it.

I am yet to play a game of this year though I will say that BioShock is the best game I've played so far this year.

Its just a theory anyway, which going off the things needed is never going to happen with our petty human capabilities. I can understand the LOGIC but can't accept the theory.

Same, it was the second console I owned but it was filled with the most memories and introduced me into gaming. I gave me no greater pleasure than to play it late of a nightime or early of a morning.

See you when you make the list.

If I find a game too hard or boring I'll rarely push myself through it, though lately I've been forcing myself to play through Fracture which IMO has become 'somewhat half decent'. I'm barely a completionist if I really like the game.

Are you in some way trying to say that BioShock is scary? Its a good, damn fine sexy game but 'scary' it is not. If it has to be scary go for Dead Space. ... fucking 'scary'...
