Tekken, as a film about a fighting tournament & evil corporation? not too bad I guess, as a film based on the games? terrible about the only thing the same is some names & a couple of relationships. Basically if you watch it forget every bit of story you've picked up from the games over the years as it will clash with the story here.

My experience trying the trial version backs this up, the concept sounded good but it just seems a little off, maybe in mp mode it's better but the trial only gives you solo & that feels rubbish, of course thats just my opinion mileage may vary

From last nights club meeting ReDeath ReDux (ok more a one off short than something to keep watching) Darker Than Black

Tried to watch Evangelion 1.11 to see how bad the English dub is this time round, failed as once more Manga's authoring process is a big fail causing stuttering playback for me, doesn't happen with other companies releases, strangely after making a copy of it the copy seems fine after a quick test (if copying it so I can actually watch it doesn't fall under 'fair use' nothing does) in stuff watching without those problems: Amagami SS Asobi ni Iku Yo Ookami-san Occult Acadamy Seitokai Yakuindomo Heroman Legend of the Legendary Heroes (most redundant title ever?) Digimon Xros Wars Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood (draggin my heels a bit here got 8 to go to finish it off)

Afterburner Climax, working on unlocking EX options

reminds me of getting 2 teeth pulled years ago, bloody anaesthetic only kicked in when I was halfway home, didn't stop the dentist from going ahead & yanking them out anyway though you'd think the agonised sounds coming from me would have been a clue (these days have a different dentist) unsurprisingly when I had to have one taken out the other year I opted to go to the hospital where they have better drugs that put me totally out of it for the procedure, one needle prick in the arm & I wake up missing a tooth feeling no pain

may not count as 'played' but I fired up NS2 to take a look round a map earlier, other than that Perfect Dark, fun trying to remember how to do some objectives as I havent played some stages for years, still if I get lost at least its nice & shiny(ish) on the 360

cheers

It's also far superior to the Amiga version which felt like a very early alpha that got released by mistake or rushing, pretty sure it was a rush job to get it out so we got that mess, having checked my X68000 set I have the SF2 one but not Strider, could you give me the link please?

the editing that it suffers now will help with ignoring the gore & focussing on things that jiggle, can't wait for the uncut dvd/blu-ray release of this one, not that its gonna stop me watching the edited ones of course

doesnt take that long, my agility levels already at 4 with my driving, guns, strength & explosives close behind it after a few hours of play, freak lairs are handy for bumping up the driving, explosive & strength ones

Blueguerilla

Started Highschool of the Dead at the weekend, gotta love some zombie action though it seems even atx are censoring it with ep2, not the jiggling boobs & panty shots though oh no, in Japan those are fine but a drill to a zombies head? that's too much. After the uncensored ep1 they have started early with the 'make us want the dvd/bd release' plan, atx are a premium channel as well so a long wait for proper uncut stuff is coming, though it already liscensed in the US so maybe not that long

today saw some mp GTA IV with some guys from blueguerilla, amazingly I didn't roll over much (a huge achievement in GTA for me with the handling issues it has compared to most games) & didn't come last in most of the races. Then came some more Crackdown 2, 2'nd freak lair down & more farming freaks with a car in the quarry for driving skill, good stuff

utter failure, same as pretty much any other day really

Killers, a slow start but then gets going for great shooty fun, oddest moment for me though was realising that a clip shown when one of the stars was on ross's chat show a few weeks back was from (hidden in case you saw that clip but aint seen the film yet) wtf? if you're gonna pick a clip don't pick one from there for gods sake

just hopefully with less glitches, the demo seemed to not have that many at least, got sick of being run down by invisible cars in the first, though seeing a driver float along in a driving position was amusing

I think they mean that civil war (to the americans reading this it was technically a kind of civil war fought overseas for us as you were part of us at the time) that wound up with the verdict of 'well this is rather annoying let's call it a day' who could have foreseen that many years later the world would have to put up with Bush, had it gone differently the world may have been spared his 'leadership' though we would have missed many laughs such as the pretzel incident I guess

went back to Crackdown to get in the mood for when the second one hits on Friday, fall down into the sewer like tunnels beneath one boss battle, announcer tells me he's never seen someone reach such heights

Just finished B Gata H Kei - predictable enough end, hopefully it'll do well & they'll make another season Mayoi Neko Overrun - an odd one to watch due to the choice of different directors for each episode but it worked fairly well Angel Beats - enjoyable, some very predictable end bits, the end did throw one slightly unexpected bit in though which was nice To finish up soon Ichiban Ushiro no Dai Maō - 4 to go & its done Ongoing Heroman - well what can you say? its from Stan Lee so you know what sort of thing you can expect I guess

thats always fun but you only learn fighting with yourself that way

Yup, not tried it out yet though, did use the glitch it introduced into mp though which gave free xp, no npc would spawn so any hideout you went to it thought you'd cleared due to no enemies, rinse & repeat as much as wanted, though I only bothered to jump a few levels rather than go for the full 50 as many no doubt did, gonna be a lot more legendary ranks out there now. The glitch is fixed now so it's back to 15-20 minutes or so on hideouts rather than appear, get xp after a second or two (depending on hideout) hammer left to replay & repeat, but then you do get more for killing all the enemy so it works out.

dunno anything about Singularity but Naughty Bear has a teddy armed with an axe which is promising, in my mind at least

Are you mad? you take your life into your own hands dodging those arrows

I've been tryin to work out if Deadpools saying his nuts are on fire or his pants are on fire (though if it is pants the other hardly needs saying)
