"Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past" on the Wii's VC. I had this game for my SNES a long time ago, but now the SNES is broken and I couldn't play it. :( But now I can. :D

That is hands down, THE best Zelda game ever made..

My gf and I play it through on occasion on my SNES emu for my original Xbox.

I agree it's great. One of the best.
But I really think they should release Majora's Mask for Wii VC. Sure I have it on a promo GC disc I can play on my Wii. But most people do not have this and miss out on probably my favourite Zelda game.

Yeah, I love it. But It's been so long since I played it last, I have no idea where to go after the first dungeon. :p

Also a great game, though it scared me a little back when I got it when I was 8. :Blushing:

I just rented CoD 5 today for the Wii. Liking it very much so far, though I can't really take advantage of the online play thanks to my horribly sub-par internet. :Shouting: :Not-Amused:

very easy to pop a new drive in, though you'd need a backup of the current one to save all your stuff.
i swapped my 40 for a 320.


awesome news for PS3 people...

Fallout 3 DLC will be coming to the PS3 starting in late june!

Just finished this year at uni - and to fill the void have started playing CoD4 online (PSN). Tis epic, far superior to CoD5 - online at any rate. Only been playing a week or so, so still pretty new to it, tho I reckon it'll keep playability.

Apart from that I love Fifa 09 online too, and then Football Manager on the mac.

How is it? I loved the original, not sure how cool it would be on a modern system though. The original was a very simple game.

I think it's pretty fun IMO and brings back memories. It's also received pretty good reviews across the board on most game sites. :)

Fallout 3 DLC is good news If I can get my wireless working on my PS3.

Planning on buying UFC:undisputed 2009 since I am a huge MMA fan.

@DarkArt let me know how the godfather II is because I love the movies and was thinking of buying or renting the game.

Well I bought UFC:undisputed and I must say its amazing. I am a huge fan they did a great job at capturing what the UFC is all about. I knocked someone out in the first round. I later had a rematch and we went the distance. Its a very tricky game and I found myself losing some fights because I thought I had the easy win then someone lands a huge punch that rocks me or I end up getting submitted. The graphics are stunning in Career mode you get such a rush when you get your first fight against someone very good. Any fan of the UFC would love this game. This might be the first game that I will play for more then 3 months without going back to Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots.

Godfather II... As much as I loved the first one when I played it, this one didn't seem to be nothing but a more polished version with extra features.

Now, don't get me wrong, it's not a bad game, I was just disappointed by it after seeing trailers. It's a lot more in-depth compared to the first one.

In the first one, you were just getting into the family and basically "learning the ropes" of the mob-scene, then come out as Don of NYC.

With that being said, the 2nd one focuses a lot more on being a Don, whilst still extorting businesses, and doing other missions and the like. This game takes place approximately 20-25 years after the first one.

One of my fave features is, you can hire "soldiers (up to 4), which you can level up using money, and even promote them higher up the family food chain.

Each of these soldiers has a different ability, such as arsonists, demo experts, safe crackers, etc. You can also send these men to one of your businesses if they ever get attacked as a "defender." You can hire all kinds of different men with different abilities. Say you promote one to a Capo, he then gets to hold two special abilities, like safecracker and demo expert.

It's handy to carry this men with you, especially when you're going to be headed into a heated battle, because having one as a medic helps a lot.

The feel of the game is much like the first one. The graphics are nice as well, it's a lot more bloody compared to the first one, and there's a lot more vulgarity as well.

I personally only got about half-way through the 2nd chapter, I guess you can call it. I was in Florida. From what I've played, overall, I give it about a 7.8/10.

On a side note, I recently picked up Fallout 3 again to do some more exploring, and Resident Evil 5. I've maxed out every weapon, I'm 5 figures away from having them all, and I have 1 more costume each to unlock. Once I purchase the longbow, I'll also have every weapon in the game.
