klingon 10 Posted July 5, 2008 Author Share Posted July 5, 2008 Hiroshi Yamaguchi (prez of Nintendo from 49 to 02) is apparently the richest man in Japan. New worth at $7.9bn (big chunk of Nintendo stock that has risen of lot of late). Link to post Share on other sites

pie-eater 207 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Friend here got Guitar Hero and had a laugh with that this afternoon. Good fun it was. (The 4 pints at lunch might have helped slightly). Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Quote: Thailand swept copies of the Grand Theft Auto computer game off shop shelves after a disturbed teenager allegedly killed a taxi driver in a copycat crime. The New Era Interactive Media company, the only legal distributor of the games and software, expressed regret over the incident on its website. The company also warned people to be careful about the types of computer games they buy and urged friends and relatives of gamers to watch their behaviour closely when playing. An 18-year-old high school student has been charged with robbery and possession of a weapon, and could face the death penalty or life imprisonment if convicted.

thursday 1 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Haven't played GTA, but friends keep going on about how you gotta run this guy over, then rob the taxi driver and then run from the cops and then have a slash on this street corner and then etc... etc.. Sounds interesting. Link to post Share on other sites
klingon 10 Posted August 6, 2008 Author Share Posted August 6, 2008 Something like that. Link to post Share on other sites
klingon 10 Posted September 3, 2008 Author Share Posted September 3, 2008 Anyone likes 2d scrollers, the new Warioland shake game is a whole lot of fun. Or have we all grown up out of them>? Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 new PSP coming out soon. Not seen it here yet. Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 There's hardly any difference is there? Very minor upgrade I think. It's dying here in the UK. Link to post Share on other sites
2pints-mate 0 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Yes here there is hardly any games out on it at all. I hear it is doing well in Japan though. Link to post Share on other sites
JellyBelly 1 Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Yep it has been outselling the DS here, believe it or not. Link to post Share on other sites
klingon 10 Posted September 7, 2008 Author Share Posted September 7, 2008 I think generally though it is not doing so good and suffering from a lack of software. Link to post Share on other sites
klingon 10 Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 Anyone else seen the clips of Wii Music. It must be the worst 'game' ever and it will sell millions. Apparenly even the developers have said that you need no musical ability or rizzum to be able to 'play' it. What exactly is the point one wonders? Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 getting a whole load of people who would never otherwise play a musical game? Link to post Share on other sites
klingon 10 Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 But it isn't really either a 'musical game' or even a 'game' is it? Have you looked at what it is? Link to post Share on other sites

klingon 10 Posted October 3, 2008 Author Share Posted October 3, 2008 I got the beta version of Little Big Planet on PS3 - very interesting it is, I'll surely be getting the full version when it's out. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 That looks like one of those "can't describe what it is really" games. From what I saw, looked like fun though. I see a new DS is coming out - this time with a crappy camera, music and slightly bigger screen. Nintendo sure know how to milk a cow. Link to post Share on other sites
zebedee 1 Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I have been playing the Litte Big Planet beta as well. Looks like it is going to be a brilliant game. A lot of fun and quite unique. Link to post Share on other sites
