I have a Wii, and I have been checking the Smash Dojo every day...

I'm so pumped for that! Just when I think "There is no way they can announce anything cooler" they always manage to. Gray Fox? Level Editor? Little Mac!?

[BugHunter]

Shiezen! Little Mac is gonna appear too? Freakin aye! AWESOME!! I wonder if Pac-Man will appear, I mean, they included him in the arcade of MarioKart. I'm really happy they're using the original form of Sonic and his original sound library. Its like the glory days of Sonic have returned! I'm just really happy they're bringing in Excitebike in some form as well. OOH OOH, I hope they bring in Bubble and Bobble from that awesome game.

[Cobra5]

I didn't even think of Bubble Bobble. That'd be awesome...

I wonder what Solid Snake's Final Smash will be...?

[daft alchemist]

I heart Bubble Bobble forEVAR!!!

Also, there's a sonic game coming out for DS, I think. It should be better than the recent ones though because it's old-school side-scroller kind.

[Cobra5]

Someone... uh... Bioware, I think? They are making a Sonic RPG.

If I'm not mistaken and it IS bioware... well, I don't think it could be bad, even taking Sonic's recent track record into account.

5 bucks a metal gear appears to fight for Snake for his final smash

[Cobra5]

Well, that's what I thought as well, but that happens randomly on Solid snake's level. A metal gear (Either Rex or Ray or another one maybe) randomly punches through the wall and starts shooting the level.

I like how the spot lights make the "!" show up. I like the picture with Yoshi and the "!" above his head. ;D

As I briefly mentioned in the other thread, I've been playing Super Robot Taisen J... and I'm very addicted. I don't read Japanese, so, story-wise I have no idea what's going on (Not the first RPG I've played like that). I guess it just goes to show that all an American gamer really needs is guns, missiles, cool fight scenes, and big explosions

If you're not aware, Super Robot Taisen (AKA Super Robot Wars, but they call it "Taisen" even when they translate it into english) is a tactical strategy RPG where robots from all different animes fight eachother. You get a robot of your own, which you can customize and such, and you play through missions against enemy robots from the various animes.

So... I guess I've found an RPG to play for a while I didn't realize how much I missed old-school turn-based RPGs.

Crysis. I got it Friday and lost my entire Saturday to it. Now, of course, I have to read some Plato and write a paper instead, but wow, Crysis.

[Tassatul]

Call of Duty 4. Single player is a bit short, but so packed full of awesome its worth it. There are at least a doezen "oh snap no freaking way!" moments.

[Cobra5]

I played the demo for each game and, I was very impressed by them both.

I wouldn't know which to get! They're both so good. Computer Gaming has been doing really well recently.

[Tassatul]

I did play the Crysis demo and it was pretty cool. Kinda deflated my ego though, I installed it and the graphics went to "Medium" by default. I think my computer is finally starting to get dated : (

[Cobra5]

For me it defaulted to lowest, however I was able to raise everything to medium (Except texture, and Volumetric effects) and still play the game without slowdown.

My computer is far from top-of-the-line, I'm amazed how well optimized it is. Also, its a PERFECT EXAMPLE of why Direct-X 10 sucks hardcore. There is a very simple way to activate ALL of Direct-X 10's features on the windows XP version, using Direct-X 9, and it has 20% higher FPS to boot.

I also played both call of duty 4 and crysis dems and though they were amazing
