  1. I thought it was a pretty good movie and certainly head and shoulders above anything else released in 2013.
  2. Love the new Profile Background! Star Trek! :)

  3. That's a dangerous opinion man. I'll concede that Golden Axe has aged but I still enojoy them (give the third a try it fixes a lot of the issues of the first and second ones). Streets of Rage 1 has the same issue (however the music really brings the game up a few notches) however Streets of Rage 2 is probably the best beat em up game ever made and is in my opinion the best game for the Genesis (which is my favorite console).
  4. It's great to see a sucessful company still wanting to do something different. I love the Fable series but would prefer something new.
  5. I have no interest in any of the new consoles.
  6. Shouldn't this go in the other gaming platforms section? However my favorite game boy color games has to be Power Quest.
  7. Hopefully Sailor Moon can come and save the anime industry from the awful situation it's in now.
  8. It seems most "serious" or "hardcore gamers" don't like COD or sports games.
  9. And from the graves the Dreamcast thread returns (peaseants rejoice).
  10. Since everybody else seems to be making lists I may as well make one as well. (in no particular order) 1. Cowboy Bebop: Probably the reason I got into anime. I watched the movie with my uncle when I was knee high to a grasshopper. 2. Ghost in the Shell: One of my first exposures to cyber punk. Probably my favorite anime. Although in truth I prefer the movie. 3. Dragon Ball: Almost everybodys first exposure to anime. The definitive shonen. I do watch it mostly for nostalgia but I always get a kick out of it and have seen almost every episode (haven't finished GT but I don't really have an urge to) which for a shonen is rare. The other shows listed are much much shorter. Which is what I prefer. 4. Golden Boy: One of the funniest comedies of all time. It's only six episodes long but they are so rewatchable that it's not even an issue. 5. Neon Genesis Evangelion: Despite it's pretension still one of my favorites.
  11. Not very surprizing. SInce the turn of the century Video Game companies have only taken more from the consumer. The prices goes up and we get less and less.
  12. Her doesn't look too bad. The sci-fi concept itself of falling in love with a machine is at least 60 years old but there are many many ways it can be done. I certainly wouldn't mind going to see this. But they don't make good movies anymore so I'll probably hate it anyway.
  13. It's nice to see a company finally getting it's due. if we could start seeing more of this the industry might just have a chance. EA and all it's subsidaries have done nothing but contribute to the complete stagnation of the medium.
  14. I actually think both franchises tend to lack in the music department. The original had a pretty competant score (and Halo 2 had some moments of brilliance as well) but overall I'd say the music in Halo is unimpressive. I think Marin O Donnell creates really generic and uninspired music. The score for Mass Effect is in the same situation. I think it's lifeless, the music only works to "tug at your heartstrings" rather than express any true emotion. I would say games like Castlevania, Metal Gear (excluding MGS2 and MGS4), and the Streets of Rage series have much more interesting music that not only works to assist the mood of the game but is listenable on its own.
