Gay Tony is fantastic.

I returned Nintendogs a week ago and traded it for SF4.

Suddenly I'm hit with pangs of longing for the game. I want it back. I want to unlock some more stuff and have a room full of puppies.

What's wrong with me? There is no depth to the game.

I played the first one so much, I found/bought/unlocked everything there was in the game (+ some stuff I got by connecting with a friend who had a different version).  Will steer clear of the 3DS version.  I don't think I could get hooked on an experience so empty and shallow for a second time.

Horror games would be sick on the 3DS in a dark room with headphones on. Dead Space would be great and I'd love to see some old school RE games moreso than RE4 style games. The way zombies would pop out of nowhere in the old games....that would be awesome on the 3DS.

Can't wait for this.

But from what I've noticed the popping out of the screen stuff is better when it's done slowly. If an enemy in RE popped out like that guy in the oven in re4 he would run too fast towards you and your eyes would have to focus and re-focus too quickly for the effect to mean anything. When the popping out of the screen stuff is done slowly and methodically the effect is superb.

Yeah I got the first game, think I sold it after 2 weeks. I wanted the sequel to just give you stuff to actually do, maybe some more kind of incentive to play. It's just improved the graphics, nothing else really. The 3D is great though, they have these static storefronts, but the 3D is so good I just enjoyed clicking on the stores to look at the desks and chairs in 3D.

It would have been cool if they had built a full on street or town where you could walk about with your dog, doing quests or something. Maybe have you train a rescue dog, talk to NPCs etc. The improvements in the 3DS game are all baby steps.

I used the Remote. I honestly don't really like the classic controller. The sticks feel cheesy and the triggers blow. I hate using any controller besides the Xbox pad for shooters really.

I hope they leave Eurocom in charge of making Bond games from now on. They really nailed it.

Agreed. They seem to have gone back to GE 64 and seen what makes the core gameplay good and then designed the new game with that philosyphy in mind.

Did you check out Dead Space Extraction? They made that too. It's similar to GE in that they have the same mature storytelling, performance capture and uses the same engine. I thought it would be bunk because it was a "first person experience" but it's honestly quite good. No replay value though.

I'd like to hear what Matt Cassassmasina thought of Goldeneye. I miss reading that motherfuckers stuff...IGN Nintendo blows without him there.

Speaking of Resident Evil...

I've played level 2-1 of RE5 like 9 times now.  I've either gotten close to the end or gotten distracted and turned it off (and had to start over).

yeah, I've been pretty tired while playing, but still, game could use some meaningful checkpoints.

Sometimes it says Checkpoint (or even Saving), but it means nothing.  If you turn off, you go back pretty far in the stage.

Not really complaining but... well I guess I am.

RE5 is a weird game. I mean I liked it, but at the same time was disappointed with it. A case of a game being solid for what it is, yet not really what you wanted it to be. Kind of like Castlevania as well. And the two-character idea with Shiva was just a bad decision.

I can't bring myself to replay RE0 because of the two character swapping.

Yeah that was also the main reason for RE Zero not being as good as the older games. That, and the ridiculous inventory system. And the horrible backstory.
