I have to express my feeling on cell shading, I think I can sum it up in a word as "terrible." Graphics today are amazing, they are near-real and yet cell shading is used in games previously credited for its supreme graphics. I think the gameplay will remain but the graphics will be unsuited. Cell shading does look good in cartoony style games, like Simpsons road rage, Point and Click's like "return to monkey island" etc but it is not the way forward for all games. Does anyone agree?

Much ado about nothing.

Less than 20 games with it in, and most of them are quite decent (Zelda, Jet Set Radio, Fur Fighters, XIII).

Basically its a technique where prisoners are induced into a dream like state due to subliminal colours being used in the painting of jails.

The coolest ISP ever!
In my opinion, the ISP is the best I have ever used. They guarantee 'first time connection - everytime', which they have never let me down on.
