I died like 80 million times in the "virtuous mission." I really tried to not kill anyone but the CQC bullshit is so touchy that I just kept slicing their necks instead of throwing them to the ground. Eventually I decided to just tap circle to choke them instead. One of the bad guys shot a scientist when I was trying to get away and I bet the game blames ME for that. BAH!

I held up "the End" at gunpoint but I didn't get any awesome camo. In fact I havent gotten any bonus camo from bosses this whole game. I guess I really don't care enough at this point. I usually try to do everything perfect, but my early frustration with the game kind of blew that. I still try to not kill anyone though.

I have a 2 gig SD card for my wii and I REALLY wish I could load stuff directly off of it. Lame.

DC died years ago Tork. Get over it already. And what do you mean the GC isn't supported? Well, I guess technically, but rebranding it under the "Wii" name doesn't mean it's not still supported...

But seriously, why do you want Britney's Dance Beat again? She's a terrible singer. She was never good looking. I'm sure the game is just as bad. There's plenty of cool music games on PS2. I mean I'm all for fun pop, I still love Elite Beat Agents and it's music, but come on man.

I really can't relate, I have over 1000 blocks free still and I have all those "useless" channels installed. Though if WiiWare continues to push out stuff I want, I could see it quickly become a problem... Can you at least save these things to a SD card? I mean a 2 gig SD card is 20-30 bucks. So wow, 0.5 in Wii? Come on Nintendo, what was that $250 for again?

I always have a hard time starting a MGS game since I'm so anal and the slightest thing doesn't go as planned and I just die and start again... though running to a new area and dying so the Alert status resets works as well... Low rank at the end? I care because?

Man echochrome is tough. Not PJ Monsters hard, but close.

As of last week's Nintendo Channel update, I've had to start deleting/moving files to make room. I had to get rid of all of Nintendo's stupid little channels like "check mii out" and 'everybody votes." I also had to get rid of the Mario Kart channel before EVER USING EVER! I freed up a very nice chunk of space in the process but yesterday I downloaded a virtual console game I'd been putting off for a while (Lords of Thunder) and I'm now back to a measely 150 or so blocks of space left. Luckily that Lost Winds game doesn't look that great or I would have had to figure something out to make space again. But oh crap, Earthbound will be coming out soon....sigh.

DAMN YOU SMASH BROS AND YOUR ENORMOUS GAME SAVE THAT I CANT JUST LOAD OFF A CARD!!!! Also damn me and my love for shmups and having to download almost every single one.

Keeping on topic, I finally decided to play MGS3 and I FUCKING SUCK. God I knew I sucked at games that require patience and complicated control schemes but I really wasnt having any fun with it. Maybe now that I've decided to actually hurt the enemies I'll have some fun. Stupid deteriorating tranquiler...

Well you already got KOFXI, might as well get Street Fighter Anniversary Collection and Guilty Gear XX: Accent Core. Unfortunately now that you have a PS2, the rules of the universe dictate that it will stop selling

LAME! I've never bought anything off Wii yet, I just did since WiiWare is open (downloading Castle right now!), but the damn thing charges tax. WTF?!?! No one else does... damn you Nintendo, I want that 55 cents back. It's lame enough I have to buy in $10 increments...

Oh well, now to see how this is.

Edit: So the first 5 levels are quite easy, I'm sure it will pick up, but also so far this is pretty cool...

Edit 2: It starts to pick up around level 10, the first 10 are quite boring but I guess that's so you can build up resources, the game picks up quite a bit soon after... It's nice how you can save after every stage, but there's no high score table:(

Well I got echochrom off PSN. It has a few issues, I can't quite seem to figure out when I can and cannot line up paths, but it's cool and fun. It's also quite challenging... though Monsters still frustrates me more. Why did I get that Encore expansion when I'm not halfway through the first game?

I've become quite a fan of these downloadable games, as my 8 PSN games to 2 Blurays attest. They are simple, but usually are more creative and fun than the disk based ones. At least the good ones are.

And now WiiWare starts... Defend Your Castle has my name all over it.

You were "given" one, riiiiight....

In any case, why does that piss you off? And what do you mean by yet? Like someday it will be? The difference isn't much, maybe you're just playing bad games... which seems about right if you're going to list Britneys Dance Beat....

Well, congrats? There are plenty of great/cheap PS2 games for the taking. Make sure you get the Evo version of VF4. Oh, and get Amplitude. Great music game, and it has Pink!

Yea I was given a Playstation 2 lmao

I'm now searching high and low for

Britney's Dance Beat
Virtua Fighter 4
Guitar Hero (whichever one I can get my hands on)

I already bought King of Fighters XI
and I have the EA 08 games (all of em)

Still pisses me off that graphically PS2 isn't on Gaycube's level yet it's still being supported while GC/Dreamcast isn't.

I tend to mash LEFT or RIGHT depending on how many guys are on which side at the start of a battle. Bosses are a little more complicated because they either move around a lot or do tons of damage with a simple move. I got myself to play on hard with a level 15 multiplier, but I'm near the end and there's just too many surprise encounters that are a pain on hard.

I totally did NOT set up 4 DS's at work to host pictochat and then repeatedly go into mingle mode for 100 pp a pop. (The download station DS counts as the 5th one) But it doesn't matter because I didn't do that from 10 to 11:30 am this morning.

Certain pins level up in certain ways so it's a little frustrating that the game doesn't give you ANY idea how to evolve them. Aside from that, it's very good and POSSIBLY the best DS game to date, there I said it.

Ok, turns out there is a way to turn off CPU karts in the "rules", but you're still stuck as battle teams... I don't hate double dash, but I just thought they could have done more besides the gimmicky double thing. And again on Wii, the song is the same. This time it's a gimmicky wheel attachment. Why doesn't this series get the same love as Smash Bros? Just fix the team issue I mention and add maybe 16 more classic tracks (and/or downloadable tracks), and it would be way better than DD. As it is, it's about the same.

On another note, I recently replayed MGS2 and it was a lot better than I recalled. Still think some of the story elements are lame (Vamp, Raiden...), but whatever. Damn good game. Next up before MGS4 hits is Snake Eater...
