I can't find the Trails HD or deal thread so I'll say it here

Trials HD is 800 points today only (normally 1200)

Is Nier any good?

It's pretty ok. The graphics are poor, and some gameplay elements aren't really thought out well. But the soundtrack* is amazing. And the story is interesting, too. I also like the setting.
I'm almost 4 hours in and am quite enjoying the game so far.

*I usually don't like vocals in game OSTs. But this game has some great vocal tracks.

[youtube=560,345][/youtube]

All tracks from the beginning of the game. I'm sure there will be more epic tracks later on...

I must listen to the OST.

Trackmania Wii looks good

Bebpo · « **Reply #663 on:** April 30, 2010, 08:31:03 PM »

I guess, but why would anyone want to play that over the PC version which has all the same stuff + more.
And for a community-based online game, you know it's going to be a pain in the ass due to nintendo's stance with online gaming.
I tried out Made in Wario the other day and while the concept is genius (mini-game creator with sharing), it's a total failure because unless you add specific friends and get them to send to you, all you get is the dozen or so 30 second games that Nintendo official provides and that's really not much. Especially since the best games will be done by players over time.

Ubi's DRM has already been cracked. Even Splinter Cell was cracked less than a day or so after it was released.

Pirates: 1
Ubisoft: 0

Should have listened to everyone

We all said it was the best XBLA game when it came out!

cool breeze · « **Reply #668 on:** May 01, 2010, 01:20:32 AM »

I think I tried the demo and it was fun but not that great. Playing the full game, the first two sets of stages are really easy and I'm still not hooked. Getting to normal is when the game starts to get like "did I spend 20 minutes trying to get gold on that one course? I still don't have it! I'm gonna keep trying until I do"

I bought it at Xmas for full price and felt bad for not getting it in June. Stupid PC version clouded my judgement

naff · « **Reply #670 on:** May 02, 2010, 10:23:14 PM »

I bought it full price at release too, simply because I used to love the inspiration for the game as a kid (a 2d stick figure sidescrolling motocross game on Apple II or commodore or something). Turned out the game was fucking rad but I find some levels later in the game nigh on impossible and I haven't actually fired up this game since rage quitting a couple times. I never rage quit games. Trials HD was a first.

These posts reminded me I should go back and see if I was just approaching these levels in the wrong way or with the wrong bike.

tiesto · « **Reply #671 on:** May 02, 2010, 10:55:06 PM »

I played the demo of Trials HD and found it kinda boring... reminded me a bit of Motorcross Maniacs on original GB.

Zombie Apocalypse on sale for 400. Might get the trial.

How is RayStorm? Looks kinda slow and easy based on the trailer. If it's good, I'll get it if it appears on amazon so I can use my $10 credit. I'm not spending $15 on it.

Dunno, I never played the original and it has some hype around shmup forums so I'm interested in picking it up. I buy all shooters that get released though so I'm a little biased.

Nintendo has revealed that Super Mario Galaxy 2 will sell with a bonus tutorial DVD.

This contains a quick beginner's guide to the game, wrote Cubed3. Things like navigating worlds, using the controls simultaneously and starbits are explained.

Amusingly, this DVD - like all others - won't play on a Wii.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 is due out on 11th June.

I just find it hilarious how they say 25% longer than CoO. I agree that CoO was great and I still think it has the best weapon in a GoW game (that giant fist). But honestly, if Ready at Dawn was back to making PSP games I would have liked another Daxter. The latest Jak game for the PSP was total crap.

well they're back I guess

the only bad part is that of all the devs that Sony gets to work on the PSP, Ready at Dawn is the only one who doesn't do a PS2 port. Even the Syphon Filter game from 2007 is just now getting a PS2 port yet Daxter and CoO remain PSP only.

Cool little flash game I found - called "Synopsis Quest", basically sort of like Half Minute Hero where you do little tasks in a DQ style adventure. There are a few 'puzzles' and tricks to it... not a bad way to waste 5 min.

Great music, too... very reminiscent of Famicom DQ chiptunes.
