Gotta' be playing Symphony of The Night on japanese import with a guide when I needed it.

I remember getting it Feb of 98 just after it got released in japan in christmas 97.

I was sooo friggin excited when I got it. Easily I have put in 1000+ hours into SoTN with all various saved games. I wish I kept them all :(

But I still go back to it at least twice a year. One for the PSX and the other Sega Saturn. BEST. GAME. EVER! hehe.

What about Castlevania SOTN - Lost Paintings?!

That track orchestral-wise in the game ost world is light years ahead of its time. Well I think so anyway :D

YES! I'm so excited! Good job I held off going to buy a HDTV :D

I got this through the post today and so far I'm enjoying it. I loved the first one so much that I finished it on the PC, then when the 360 version appeared I played that through 100% as well :D

I like the strategy elements in it. Add's a whole lotta' depth, which is a nice change for sandbox games with territories.

I have to still try it online, but I don't have much hope for that part of the game :)

Jus my two cents ^^

The Wheelman looks like crap. I've got a friend who is working on it at the moment and he said its like a poor mans Midtown Madness + all the crap parts about sandbox games.

Don't hold your breath for it lol

Also like joabbuac said, it wasn't that bad. Some of the missions like putting the horses head into the bed was pure vintage movie nostalgia. The game it's self wasn't the best sandbox game, but it certanly wasn't the worst.

Gotta' be mile high club on CoD4.

This was the only thing in achievement history that actually got me mad that I was messing up so easily. But doing that particular achievement helped me with online play.

Now I can do the plane on vet EVERY time now. I've got it burned into my skull haha

KZ2 = winner :D

Loved the first one and can't wait for the sequal.

HELL YEAH!

Just dont say to a japanophile that Evangelion and Taisen suck because they go mad!

It's quite funny to watch them rant about how deep evangelion is *shudders*

Monster Hunter 3 FTW! Cant wait for it!

All the points are great and like a few have said, stole mine! haha!

Anyway, some games are scary, but it is literally a case of the progress you have done just grows into anger for most people repeating the same bit.

I'm stunned NO ONE has mentioned the only game I have known in history that where you can make saved games, but also if you die, your save game gets deleted. For people who don't know, you ready?

STEEL BATTALLION!

This game was amazingly pricey with THE BIGGEST controller I have ever seen in my life and also had massive steel peddles. Playing this game with the sound up in front of a big TV is amazing! It was out of this world for what it was.

While it was short lived, the xbox live on it was great as well because you knew someone may be forgetting to press the fire extinuisher button while blasting away in a firefight.

But yeah, I have lost count with how many times I have reached the last mission and died, then having to start again. Now you might think you can just turn off the xbox as you die, but you still lose your save game because as soon as you die, it auto saves/deletes. The only way to save yourself is to press the eject button, but even then you only have 2, mabye 3 seconds to press it! Now that is true fear haha!

Rising Zan, christ I actually bought this >_<

Like cart00n said, take it with a pinch of salt.

I admit games are a hell of a lot easier today. Loads of people are saying 'LUL, PLAY IT ON HARD/VERTAN/HEAVEN OR HELL' whatever you wanna' call hard mode. Well the truth is, NO ONE what-so-ever wants to play a game on the hardest difficulty. There are a few that will willingly play it on the hardest difficulty, I am one of those people.

To all people piss-moaning about this article, its true. You had to pickup health packs, save at the END OF THE LEVEL or not even save at all.

I've said it since day one, have levels fair enough, but take away the regen health and checkpoints and see how much people enjoy games then. They wont because they will have to THINK about what they have to do. I am still playing Ridge Racer 6 because that game has stuck to its roots in terms of difficulty. You can say lol n00b and all that, but if you have finished the game, link your gamertag here to prove it.

Also with the ninja gaiden thing, that again is a game that stuck to its roots. If you take out the games that are difficult like Ninja Gaiden, Ridge Racer and Devil May Cry for example all games are easy.

Call of Duty on vertran isn't. It just isn't just because I have seen it that if you die repeatedly, the game gives you a checkpoint like its feeling sorry for you!

Anyway, I found the funny side in the article. Keep it up GR!
