  1. I just watched both The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford and Gremlins 2, Jesse James is a pretty good movie, slow at times but fairly solid and very good acting by Casey Jackson. Gremlins 2 is utter crap compared to the first.

     

    (Though I had seen it before, my sister rented it out and thought I might as well give it a watching).

  2. Liberi Fatali (FFVIII, Best intro song ever used in any game...ever).

    Eyes On Me (FFVIII, Brings the strory of Squall and Rinoa flooding back).

    To Zanarkand (FFX, everytime I hear this I feel like playing the game over).

     

    The early Tony Hawk titles had some sweet tunes as well, but they all went downhill just as the games did with each new installment.

  3. Reign over me is a really great movie, Sandler is best at his 'retarded' comedy, but Reign Over Me is just awesome all together, I didnt have anything negative to say about it at all, I have seen it a few times. One of the few movies that has made me shed a tear as well (When he talks about his family for the first time, and when he talks to his inlaws, both touching scenes).

     

    I just watched Miss Potter, which was fairly average, watched it because my younger sister rented it out.

  4. For the manhunt2 hack.

    This is a double edged sword, I can see future online games like Mario Kart and Smash Bros being crowded with people playing with hacked discs where the karts go 400X faster then normal or do 2000+ damage a punch.

     

    EDIT: Never mind seems reports are all ready in of people being able to cheat in Smash Bros.

  5. Earlier this week it was reported that an upcoming meeting of the state and territory Attorney-Generals on March 28 would be discussing the possibility of changing the video game ratings system. As a result of this change, games would have the ability of being listed under the R18+ rating, instead of being refused classification and sale in Australia, as is currently the case if the game is decided to be beyond an MA15+ rating.

     

    Hopes that this change would come about seem to have been dashed, however, with South Australian Attorney General Michael Atkinson's office confirming his unchanged stance on the issue. "The Attorney-General remains very firmly opposed to introducing an R rating for computer games in Australia," said a spokesperson.

     

    The spokesperson then commented that Minister Atkinson "doubts whether any safeguards could be put in place to deter young people, who after all (are) the most computer literate and savvy in our society, from being able to access material," saying that he would not consider the decision even if protective measures are put in place preventing exposure of the content to people under 18.

  6. The only games I own (Out of my 30 Odd titles) that can be played online is.

    . Madden 08

    . Mario Strikers

    . Guitar Hero III

     

    There are something like 20 now, the next one I will be getting is Battalion Wars 2 which is one of the strongest online games. So is Medal Of Honor Heroes 2 which features 32 player online (A First for Wii) but there are no aussie servers so it will lag hard so I wont be getting it, and its just stupid how they removed the online features from the Australian release. Have to wait for Brawl and Mario Kart to get any worthwhile online games I think, as well as Monster Hunter 3.

  7. Nintendo will begin charging for certain elements of its online-enabled games in the future.

     

    Up to now, Nintendo has boasted quite strongly about its free Wi-Fi Connection service, but the company announced at the Game Developers Conference this week that it has plans to introduce a 'Pay And Play' service for some games.

    Nintendo project leader Takashi Aoyama explained that this new expansion will see the company begin "collecting fees for some services [that] will allow us to adapt flexibly." Users will be able to subscribe on a game-by-game basis, but no titles were mentioned and no pricing details were divulged.

     

    What was confirmed though is that a red icon reading 'Pay And Play' will be present in the place of the blue Wi-Fi Connection icon on game packaging - the original icon will only be used for games that are free to play.

    I can understand if they are companys other then Nintendo in house games, but if they charge monthly rates for games like Animal Crossing Wii, Mario Kart ,etc. Its just not on, im a big Nintendo fan, but this goes against all that crap they were talking about 'casual' online.

     

    Every game they put a pay to play stick on better be able to have voice chat, communication via keyboard as well as some system other then the friend code system, because while lack of these features is tolerable on a free service, its not up to par if they want us to pay.
