    Two Advance Wars Reviews

    I pick up new AW games the instant they're released. :) I'm a huge TBS fan and love this series. Great stuff. They really tweaked a ton of gameplay stuff here and this is a better option (IMO) than Duel Strike. I'm not sure I like it better than the GBA games yet, but it's a great game...

    Text adventures

    Oh I used to love these kinds of games, especially the Infocom ones way back before the NES days even. Some of my favorites were the Zork trilogy, Border Zone, Enchanter Series, and Sherlock. There were a lot of others, too, but those are the ones that stick out. There's a really strong indie...

    VC Gifts

    I've sent a game to my brother and another to a friend. I haven't received anything yet.

    VCD Center #48

    Like Demise, I'm not a Pokemon fan either so Snap is a big "meh" for me. Oh well, I'll still have Baseball Stars. ;) I love that the Neo Geo is on the VC now. I'm glad we got a good week this week instead of some of the more lackluster ones we've had recently.

    Zack and Wiki

    I actually agree. I like it more than Galaxy, too. I'm warming up to Galaxy a bit, but I still can't help but feel a little underwhelmed by it (it's still fun, don't get me wrong, but I'm not going back to it as often as I thought I would). Loving Z&W, though. I'm sure it hasn't, but I hope it...

    VCD Center #48

    Exactly. It's just a blast. Even the goofy glitches in the NES version were fun to try to exploit! :) Looking forward to downloading it.

    VCD Center #48

    Hehe I did that, too, and I was kicking myself for it. I just forgot about it for some reason. I'm excited about BS2 as well. My brother and I used to play the NES version to death. Terrific baseball game. Certainly not really realistic, but lots of fun.

    Gift Suggestions?

    How bout a couple points cards?

    Mario Galaxy

    Nice, that's very cool. Yeah my wife doesn't usually care for the 3d free roamers either. She played Mario 64 a while back and had a tough time getting Mario to go straight so she got a little frustrated. We did, however, take those three games over to a friends house the other day and she and...

    Mario Galaxy

    Heh, well I will be picking up FE at some point as I love the series. Though I much prefer the GBA games to the PoR--though I haven't finished that one in all fairness. So no worries Bul, FE is a must-have in my opinion ... just not yet. Once I finish PoR or if for some odd reason there's a big...

    Mario Galaxy

    You're my only hope. Years ago you served my father in the Clone Wars ... no wait. Anyway. I just recently picked up Mario Galaxy, Zack & Wiki and Guitar Hero III via the Toys R Us buy 2 get 1 deal. I was originally planning on holding off on Mario Galaxy, but so many of the reviews were so...

    Sonic RPG

    Well color me intrigued. I loved NWN and KOTOR so anything by Bioware has my interest.

    Guitar Hero III

    I just recently got it for the Wii. This is the first GH game I've played, but I really like it so far. Some songs on the setlist are better than others, but it's definitely fun to play. Oh and I can play a real guitar, too. :)

    Worldwide Virtual Console Center

    Now that's intriguing ... A-Train is certainly not as good as some of the other Maxis stuff, but still decent for its time. Played it a bunch on the PC way back when. I wonder how good the PC-E version is? I'd probably buy it if it was released in the US. Very interesting! Seems like games of...

    Please say "No"

    I'm not 100% certain about this because I haven't played MP3 in a while, but I believe you can skip *some* of the Valhalla parts. I seem to recall thinking while I was playing that if I'd done things differently I could've skipped parts of it rather easily. If you're glitching right at the...
