I'm with drrotule, Masters Of Combat bores me too. It's a great looking game and stuff but the lack of characters just kills it for me. Not played SF2 and from what I've heard of the SMS port I doubt very much I'll ever buy it. MK all the way To be honest, masters of combat is a really good surprise for me, I really like it Now, Virtua fighter on sms, this one is really crap !!

Can you at least do Lau's awesome spin kick with the "swoosh" sound? If you can, I'm sold.

This weekend I've been playing this pipe game on my girlfriends new touch screen phone. I'm kinda addicted, can you get anything like that for the DS? It's like the mini game on Bioshock where you have to move the pipes to connect to the exit for the water to flow along..

I'm hooked on Need For Speed Underground: Rivals on PSP now. Great game with some real nice classic American muscle cars to unlock . I'm 71% through the game ATM but I don't really want to finish it as I'm enjoying it so much ;D Just started Casper on the Saturn too, not sure if I like it or not yet.

Bought Afro Samuri from Asda yesterday for £20.
It's not great but its sufficiently different enough to be entertaining.

Currently in my 7th season of Be A Pro mode in NHL 09 for the 360. Almost done with Shining Force III for the Saturn... I'm going to need the import scenario 2 and 3 soon

I'm going to need the import scenario 2 and 3 soon Nice man, you're tearing through Shining Force! I'm still midway through Shining the Holy Ark, as work has sort of put a damper on my gaming time. But I want to finish that before I really get into SF3 since there are some plot threads and characters that intertwine in both. I'm telling you though, man, play Dark Savior next...that game is absolutely phenomenal. It's five great RPGs in one with the multiple parallel stories, and each story on its own is better than most RPGs out there as is! And I hope you're being the Blackhawks in NHL 09...we need all the support we can get!

Huh, I tried playing Dark Savior once but I only got through the first round with the timer... seemed more like a jumping, puzzly thing to me. I'll give it another shot if you recommend it though. Sorry, no Blackhawks love here (although I am cheering for them to beat Vancouver). I use the Capitals. They have been my team since I was born. How is it that you are a Blackhawks fan? Don't you live in Flames territory? Getting off topic here but, Let's Go Caps! ;D

The start of the game is designed to kick things off with intensity, and it's the choices you make during that first sequence that dictate how the rest of the story plays out (or which "Parallel" you end up completing). Like, if you make it to the boss early enough, you can kill him and prevent the whole disaster from happening, and likewise, if you make it too late you have to deal with the emotional baggage of letting so many people die unnecessarily. It's a really cool game. As opposed to most RPGs, the fights are actually just like a 2D fighter, done in real time and best out of three. It's fun and actually quite a bit strategic, since like Pokemon ( before Pokemon) you can capture enemies and use them to fight your battles, too. The effort they put into that game is second to none. As for being a Hawks fan, I was born and bred that way, since my dad's always been a die hard fan. When he was young it was still just an original six, and Chicago was technically the closest here to us in Western Canada. That and they had some big superstars like Bobby Hull and Stan Mikita at the time. Then when I was young they had a similar strength in the early nineties with Roenick, Belfour, Chelios, et. al. It's been a long haul these last ten years watching the team rebuild, but finally they're giving us something to cheer about. It's a bit off topic, but hey, the forum is called "Irrelevance" anyway, right? ;D

I got Pipe Mania for the DS yesterday in a 2 for £20 offer in Gamestation, along with Castlevania (cant remember if its Dawn of Sorrow or Portrait of Ruin).
It's not quite the same as the pipe game on my gf's mobile which is more of a shuffle type puzzle, this plays out more like Tetris were set peicies of pipe become available to you in a random order and if you can't utalise a peice a points deduction is made to your total. I've stated to get used to it now and the difficulty curve is moving along nicley, hopefully won't be long befor i'm flinging my DS across the room in rage... then I have the perfect excuse to buy a DSi ;D

I recently bought Puzzle De Pon and Metal Slug X MVS carts (amongst others), so I'm totally addicted to those two. It's like I have no other games - I can't stop playing these two.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with Puzzle De Pon: imagine Puzzle Bobble, but stop the play-area from moving down, add in a limit of sixty seconds and make the goal to free a shaped piece trapped in bubbles instead of clearing the entire board.
I've spent about eight hours playing it over the last two days alone... I tried playing Puzzle Bobble yesterday, but it's not the same - so I went back to Puzzle De Pon. :P

Me and my girlfriend completed Metal Slug X together on the Wii a couple of weeks ago. Isn't pretty much Metal Slug II with bells on? Great game anyway, I really enyoy the co-op format since first playing it with playgen at byte back.

Indeed Metal Slug X is an updated verison of Metal Slug 2. MS2 had a lot of slow down in it, and X resolves those problems. SNK had done something similar before - Fatal Fury 2 and Fatal Fury 2 Special were essentially the same other than a couple of minor additions. And if you finished Metal Slug X on a compilation with unlimited continues, thats not really completeing it you cheats!

Currently switching between Dangerous Seed and Kyuukyoku Tiger on the MD, both pretty damn good shmups.
Pretty addicted to Space Invaders on my mobile ATM too ;D
