    Super Mario Galaxy 2 To Abandon "Hub World" For Map

    I actually enjoyed the hub world - I thought it distinguished itself beautifully from the Mario Bros 3 and New Super Mario Bros franchise. Not sure what Miyamoto was thinking there ..... O.o

    Atkinson Expects "Criminal Activities" From Gamers4Croydon

    "I assume the Gamers4Croydon campaign will involve criminal activities and dirty tricks, which is what I've come to expect from gamers." Ass-wipe. As for Gamers4Croydon, I guess a more reasonable aim would be to give additional support to a rival candidate from the Libs/Nationals. After...

    Wii 4.2 Update Reportedly Trashing Consoles

    A week ago, my guinea pigs managed to chew through my Wii power cord and the sensor bar. Still waiting for the new parts from Nintendo. No power = no blue light prompting me to update. Reading this forum, I'm going to go home and praise my piggies for their foresight.

    How would you react if games were suddenly banned?

    Public nudity and lesbian antics. Hey - games are my entertainment in MY HOME. If my home is no longer a private sanctuary, then stuff it - I'll have my fun on the street.

    Escape to the Movies: Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

    The video was low-quality and timed really REALLY badly. This is what revising and editing is for, Movie Bob. Please try and review your work before you post it - it not only reflects badly on how you do your work, but also whether your opinions are even worthwhile. I think your opinions...

    If your pet was a human...

    Haha - my 3 guineas would eat everything too. one would be EXTREMELY emo with erratic mood swings. another would be a sweet little child who cannot stop saying "I want, I want, I want". the third would be laid back. REALLY laid back. And my two budgies would immerse themselves in...

    Fox News Detroit Likes The Legend of Zelda?

    Did they think that no one would recognise it? It's a really bad move to take music from a video game (strike that - a video game FRANCHISE) that has has really, REALLY, die-hard fans who could recognise it in a heartbeat. Smart move. *headdesks*

    FOX to Recast Futurama

    I'll make a verdict when I hear the new voice actors. I am certainly not pleased about it though - I would enjoy it more if I knew that it had the same people behind it.

    Why do people hate the Wii.

    This would be my assessment as well. I bought the Wii because of the Virtual Console - I like my retro games! But since I am one of those very poor full-time students, I can only afford the one console in both time and money. If my bank account was healthier, I would probably splurge out for...

    Poll: My Wii

    Call me extremely girly, but if I want a FPS or a RTS game, I usually head to my PC. The Wii is my "relaxing buddy" as well as my door into little problem-solving challenges. :)

    Games you thought would be awesome...

    Neverwinter Nights 2. The steep system requirements were just a joke at the time that it came out - I had people advising me to get two top-of-the-range graphics cards to put in my desktop to get "average-to-high gameplay". When I finally got a computer that would handle it reasonably well, I...

    Poll: Greatest Zelda Game

    I went with Link to the Past - it was the first Zelda game that I played and therefore I guess the most memorable. Close second would be Ocarina of Time. :)

    The Escapist Pets on Parade!

    I have three guinea pigs and two budgies - small animals, but with enormous personalities! Most of The Boys are shelter-mates - I volunteer at the RSPCA here in Brisbane so I get to fall in love with lots of stray little ones! :)

    EA Hosting Panel on Homophobia in Gaming

    Could I just come in on this point right here? I've never hidden the fact that I am a lesbian. And I am happy to deal with the fact that there are movies, and TV shows, and music, and countless types of entertainment that are pro-heterosexual. It doesn't dissuade me from watching or listening...

    Are You Put Off PC Gaming...

    To tell the truth, PC gaming is what has awakened my retro fix. Sure, games like Sims 3 and WoW and Neverwinter Nights 2 now work on my computer (after upgrading last year), but there was never any certainty that they would. So I find myself going to stores looking for cheap, older games that...
