[COLOR=teal]Well this year I'm going to visit my auntie in San Diego, California for two and a half weeks in August, which will be great fun as always (extremely excited :excited: )! Also on this trip I will be going to Las Vegas for a few days which is amazing and beautiful! I wish I could gamble though, :( but still it's great fun. Oh and of course I will be looking forward to having a supreme shopping spree while I'm away and maybe go to the cinema, because everything comes out alot earlier in America ... so unfair! :p Ok *slowly gets to the point*- Holidays are a weird experience at times, when I go somewhere new I usually get a bit worried on how safe it is, bit upset because I will miss my friends/lovers, and butterflies to show excitement at the same time. Usually everything is fine, but something bad might happen the odd occasion. The first day I will be a bit home sick and probably moan to parents a bit (depends how hotel is or wherever I'm stayin) By the end of the week I would have found some holiday friends and never want to leave, especially when they are girls ;) but I always try to keep in touch which is good. What are you board members opinions on holidays? Anyone going on holiday this year, if so where to? I will reply more information soon :demon:[/COLOR]

[color=purple]With the Gamecube I agree that all their big guns are being released this year, but over in England we haven't even recieved the first Animal Crossing yet which is disapointing. :( I'm not sure if it is coming out here I'm sure it is, maybe someone could classify that? I'm sure going to get Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Metroid Prime (when arrives in England), and Resident Evil 0. I'm not sure when Resident Evil 4 comes out but that too looks behond amazing in my point of view. Resident Evil is my favourite game on the GC, so I have high expectations in these games. Other interesting games I have seen that I may have to check out.[/color] [color=blue]As for the PS2 I don't really want Tomb Raider: Angel Of Darkness and I'm not 100% sure whether FF-X2 : Another Lord and the new GTA will be released this year, but I hope that they are, because they will definetely be in my list! Also Splinter Cell will be great, but I've got that on X-Box.[/color] [color=lightgreen]X-Box seems to be trying to catch up with the PS2 in the sales by releasing some big hits. Ones that come to mind that I will be looking to get are Halo 2 (should be more awesome than first), Ninja Gaiden (Fabulous graphics and I enjoy Ninjas :excited:), Fable (would be interested to see what an X-Box RPG can deliver), Perfect Dark 2 (I'm the biggest fan of the original), MGS2: Subtance (It's got to be longer than Sons Of Liberty right? Looks EXTRAordinary) also many more which are multi-formatted. :smirk: Oh yeah how could I forget about X-Box Live hmmm I will have to consider this (I don't even have broadband yet) *needs more info on it*... don't really get subscription fee.[/color] [color=indigo]I'm not really into playing the GBA at the moment except when on holiday or away from house at times (I suppose I'm always online and don't play games unless mates around, because it's more enjoyable :toothie: ). When I get a chance to link the GBA to the Gamecube I will be alot happier. Games I'm looking to get are Pokemon Ruby and Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Hmmm maybe others actually when I go to San Diego to visit my Auntie in August ^_^;; WOW I just realised I will be able to get GBA games before my mates in England woohoo! :D[/color] Some more of my views, I'm sure some of you will disagree with my opinions. Anyone got any other views? :demon:

Wow that looks pretty cool they should definetely make some more like this even if they are limited edition. I'm still not sure why the X-Box isn't selling very well to be honest with you. If it's because it's an American console, so Japanese refuse to buy it then that's a bit selfish really. I think it's a brilliant console along with the PS2 and the Gamecube so it should be treated the same! If they make some more console colours or limited edition ones I would like to see them here in England as well. :)

[color=blue]Funny you say that I have only just split up with someone called Natalie. I just find every year this date is a miserable time for me even though it is just a normal day. I just think about being lonely more than usual. It would be cool to have someone to hold and be with on year, but really it's just the same any day. LOVE is needed! :therock:[/color]

[color=purple]I think this is an insane idea, yet extremely fun from my point of view. Yes I'm pretty sure there are loads of easier records or you could set a record not yet created! Making the biggest so and so would be easier. Hmmm ... My mind is bed bedazzled right now, but I'm sure there are plenty more you could try. Good luck anyway! Tell me how it goes after your attempt :demon:[/color]

Rockstar have signed that they are definetely just going on the PS2 again, not sure whether this is true or not? It will be on PC though. Anyway if your looking for an excellent RPG then Fable is your game. That looks great, but I too wish for a Final Fantasy game on the X-Box. Dead to Rights still not sure on I will just stick with my Max Payne. :) MGS2: Substance I will get but I'm not deeply anticipating it anymore *looses interest* I will still get it anyway. Ninja Gaiden I am waiting for *drools over swords* ^_^;;

[color=crimson] Ahh no one feeling a time for love then hey. I suppose really it just feels like a normal day. I've just split up with my girlfriend which is annoying :( ... I never seem to have a girlfriend on Valentines Day for some reason, a weird twist of fate. I'm sure I will send a card and maybe some chocolates to someone to at least make them happy. :whoops: Other than that, just a normal day except restaurants having different menus which are rather disgusting, I will let my parents go out alone! I need to love someone and get that same passion back *gets depressed* V_V[/color]

[color=purple]That's true about sports genre maybe an update on the roster or add in a few extra features to the game, but there are alot of games with vulgar language which are actually pretty decent games. I think nudity is definetely in games trying to improve the game's poor quality by throwing in some naked ladies, but wouldn't that just scare of most of the girl players out there who say enjoy a simple BMX game. It's stupid and a cheap way of advertising BMXs. Anyway onto the what next topic the latest information on stupid stuff is Imporium Labs creating a games console way before we have this advanced technology they are talking about having. I mean Imporium Labs is that some kind of joke lol ... with downloadable games and pay per play which would put most people off! Also Make Your Move,Inc are creating a console, but as they are usually known for making board games and other educational gear, then this games console will obviously be for kids although they persist in saying they will be creating a wide variety of games for all ages groups ... yeah right! I'm sure these consoles won't even make it to the market and even if they do they will plunk right down the drain. Waste of time and money if you ask me. :smirk: Anyone else heard anything else bizarre and utter crazy or too advanced in are generation of technology?[/color]

Well I've seen the first two games of this series and they looked pretty good! :) The thing is for some reason Suikoden III hasn't been released in the UK which is rather annoying as it looks and sounds alot better! :mad: Plus that also means I have no knowledge on how to answer the PS2 quiz question lol unless I search around for answer. Anyway does anyone know whether this will ever come to the UK and if not does anyone know why?

[COLOR=red]Valentines Day is approaching and I was wondering what you are all doing for this glorious day. Any of you board members in love out there or do you think you have a secret admirirer? What are you getting for people if anything? Also I was wondering what is the weirdist/funniest/sweetest gift you have ever recieved or given on this 'romantic' day? I myself haven't recieved many amazing gifts, but I know friends that have recieved cards of their parents to make them feel wanted. Interested to here your thoughts ... Grant [/COLOR]:love:

Yes it's quite interesting, but still a bit of a joke to be making a games console. I could imagine them making education/board games for consoles already created, but making a console full of these games would be awful in my point of view! I highly doubt Make Your Move Inc would be able to make vast range of games and if they did it would be to a low standard of quality. Same goes with this Phantom console in my opinion, so really a waste of time and money unless they are jus trying to state what exactly they are capable of. :smirk:

That wasn't very necessary have you read anything on this thread, it's not even a wrestling game it just has wrestling superstars in. It's like a destruction derby type, but yes not very good! $20 is quite cheap, but in England it will be £40 which is an outrageous price to pay for this game! Capcom Vs. Marvel 2 hmmm irrelevant. Wrestling does actually have technique in it and a few martial arts moves by the way. Lets just say I think THQ should keep to making pure wrestling games ... maybe add extra things you can win like destruction derby mode, but as for a game no thanks! :p

[color=blue]Heh everyone has their own opinions and even though I still like Slipknot more than Eminem I will still stick up for him. Break maybe D12 are more your thing, I'm not sure. Well the thing is in one of his songs I'm pretty sure that he has said everybody dies, don't quote me on this, but I think its in one of the freestyling tracks I've downloaded which you may of not heard. Talking of commercial... *Slipknot comes to mind*, still so many bands and solo artists are becoming commercial money is simply a tempting thing in reality. He's a ego-maniac, but he has alot to feel good about even though he makes terrible decisions at times it's his life he can do what he wants. At such at young age he is going to accomplish big things in his life ... well if he hasn't been murdered, drugged up, or arrested in the near future. As I said everyone is entitled to their own opinion and Slipknot is a good choice *agrees with Break* ^_^[/color]

[color=crimson]Hey I agree with you there and I've heard good stuff about 'Infinite' and have been trying to get my hands on it, but I can't find it anywhere V_V I also watched some best rapping program and that's were I heard about his lyrical battles with Benzino. They quoted some of the lyrics it's funny! 'The sauce' is the one I've heard the most about. I've heard a few of his freestyling tracks, one with Xzibit and one with Dr. Dre I think *searches for them* and a few solo. I'm sure if that's my kind of thing when it comes down to music, but if you name me his best freestyling tracks I will try to download them ^_^ You've got to respect this man though, he will go down in history as one of the best rappers in my books. His problems, opinions, rivals, childhood ... There is no point in a biography/auto-biography for this man, just give him a mic and he will tell it to you straight, whether he will have to pay for his acts 'he just don't give a F***!' :demon:[/color] Thanks for the information :) [b]EDIT: You bring up some good points there James and I suppose not everyone has the same taste. The thing I don't get is if he is for the fame and money (I'm sure most artists are in there own way), then why does he get himself in trouble so much and say offend his mum on purpose and getting sued as the consequences. It's a bit of a waste really, but I'm sure he does want money, but I'm not bothered about him I more into his music although his controversial life is quite interesting I think. He may enjoy acting, but even if it is just for the money would you turn down that opportunity? There are so many singers/bands that are coming commercial these days, so I'm not suprised really, what can I say he's a fashion model! Not a great role model though with his attitude but hey lol :p [/b]

This is quite a stumbling question, luckily I have searching skills and managed to find something in my magazine. I think it's called Azurik: Rise of Perathia, the reason I don't know much about it is because it's under top 25 worst games on X-Box lol. Well as for a question- Other than DOA: Volleyball, what other volleyball game is being released on the X-Box?

Dog, Mag and Rag I believe. In Silent Hill 2 who is James Sunderland searching for?

Wow this game sure looks some good stuff. I will try and look into it later! If this is like Mech Assault though I would definetely think twice about getting it, but it sure looks amazing. :)

[color=indigo]Some people say I look like Eminem ^_^;; but I'm pretty sure I don't it's just, because I have blonde hair is my guess! I also used to have an Eminem ringtone, I had 'Without Me' until I lost my phone. I never usually like anything based on hip-hop/rap but there is just something about Eminem that makes me like him! He's got something special to make him this good, and he does it so well with all the controversial issues based on him and his bad childhood justs gives him something to rap about (his mum). Not the best idea, but he is funny with his lyrics! *tries to remember favourite songs* I have a few of Eminem's albums and what I've noticed is that he has mostly serious songs, but then he will release a more jolly song with a funny video. OK well I will name a song from each album I have: The Slim Shady LP: Funny song- 'My Name Is' Best song- 'My Fault' The Marshall Mathers LP: Funny song- 'The Real Slim Shady' Best Song- 'The Way I Am' The Eminem Show: Funny song- 'Without Me' Best song- hmm there is a few... I'll just say 'Soldier' I haven't got the D12 album but it's called Devil Nights. I've got two of there singles and they are pretty good actually: Funny song- 'Purple Hills/Pills' Best song- 'That's How...' With what I've heard this is a pretty good album, but it's extremely explicit which is it's downfall having to change there songs completely to be released- well played on the radio and so on. There are loads more songs I like, but I decided to limit it. :) Then there is 'Lose Yourself' from the 8 Mile soundtrack. Has anyone seen that film, what did you think of Eminem in it? Does he have an acting career in his future???[/color] :therock: [b]EDIT: I also respect Eminem, because he always fills up his albums with usually 20 songs even though some are skits. I've heard some serious skits with gun shots, intros, outros and lets just say there are also some interesting ones ... ;) to say the least. :naughty:[/b]

Well I personally think around my area young kids and yobs just smoke for an image. It classes them as 'cool' supposely, but I think it's plain stupid. You try it, because of peer pressure and to fit in with mates, then your hooked ... What do you do now? Your life's expiration date closes in when you smoke and there are plenty of problems with it. I'm hoping to never smoke nor do drugs and I'm doing good so far! :) I like my life the way it is and I don't want to waste my money on cigarettes when I could be buying things I much rather would want! If that means not being 'cool' then oh well I would prefer to get somewhere in life to be honest. That's my opinion anyway ...

I believe there are 60 superstars! Who is the last boss you fight on James Bond: Nightfire?

Yeah that will do, it's Sun Ce now, but yeah I'm pretty sure the rest is right! Question time...

[color=purple]This guy is at such at early point in his career and he has already achieved quite a bit in my eyes. He has won several awards for best rapper, best hip-hop, etc. The reason I have alot of respect for him is, because he writes his own lyrics and he doesn't care what anyone else thinks he just gets on the microphone and says what he feels. You can't beat him in lyrical battles he will just rip you apart! His genre of music is on various music channels though from rock/metal channels to RnB/hip hop channels. Although I think his opinions are ignorant at times I just enjoy listening to his music. I try to ignore what he says in some songs as he can be quite offensive to groups of people i.e. 'homosexuals' and that's when I think he gets out of line. He can have his opinions, but someitmes he needs to keep his mouth shut, because it's not doing him any good just getting in to trouble if anything. I'm not one of those types that listen to Eminem, because he swears alot and that's classed as 'cool' to little kids. Children shouldn't really be listening to his stuff and parents should think twice before getting some of his albums or whatever as they are very explicit for children! I also like him in his band D12. I can't think of my favourite song right now there are a few! With D12 my favourite song is probably 'That's How...'.[/color] :smirk: Now he's in a movie 8 Mile which I will hopefully be seeing this weekend. The part suits Eminem so it shouldn't of been too hard for him to act in even though I hear he did a great job with emotional scenes with his daughter [i]"just imagined she was Hailie"[/i] -quote Eminem. Marshall is a multi-talented man if you ask me. [b]Some questions- Well what do you all think of Eminem being himself? How do you like him for his musical talent? What are your favourite songs of his (or D12's)? Does anyone think he has an acting career in the future? - Did anyone like him in 8 Mile?[/b] [center]Hope there can be an interesting discussion over the controversial Eminem/Slim Shady/Marshall Mathers! :)[/center]

Please reply a question after every answer or I will just enter a question! In Dynasty Tactics which tribes can you play as and who is the leader of each tribe trying to become conqueror (or dynasty)?

Next time could you please state reasons as in why you are most anticipating for the games you have listed! Not sure about WWE Raw: Ruthless Agression, looks like the original which wasn't great! Thanks Grant :demon:

Yes alexus is right when saying don't get too excited is not actually wrestling! I think Wrestlemania is just as good if not better than RAW though and there should be another Wrestlemania game coming out. I must say out of the three Smackdown is definetely the best simply because it has alot more options of things to do! If THQ was to be bought by either Sony, Ninty or Microsoft then some of those games could be on other consoles as well (very doubtful though). Oh and by the way Legends Of Wrestling 1 and 2 is a WWE licensed game and its on all the consoles! ;)
