Picked it up this afternoon.

Starfox getting a low 70's mark along with Street racing syndicate.

DS release games reviewed. Mario 64, Wario ware, Project rub, Zoo keeper and Polarium coming out trumps. Rayman, Asphalt and Sprung getting no more than 2 out of five. Then Spider-man and Mr Driller somewhere in the middle. Also a nice bunch of previews.

NGC provide a nice Pictochat animation masterclass so you can create your own 30 frame 'flickbook'.

All the other Cube reviews I cant remember but 'Neighbours from hell' got 12/100.
Go buy it kids!

DS tips books on the cover and Resi half walk-through.

Well, seeing as I loved TS2, I'll love TS3 too then.

As long as there's not like 80 diffferent soldier characters to play as again.

That was just rubbish.
Who'd want to play as one of several thousand slightly-differently-shaded boring soldier types when you can be a dinosaur or a cardboard-box robot or snowman?

Idiots, that's who. And they don't even count.

The only other problem NGC had was that the opening story levels are pretty rubbish. Although the story overall is most excellent, which makes a change.

But it's all about the Arcade leagues / Challenges and multiplayer.

My faith is restored. Gives me something to play post-Resi, although I can see myself playing through that again straightaway.

The story levels are just a minor part of Timesplitters game, so even if they were utter cack it really wouldn't matter.

Gotta say though other than the opening level in the future, the levels I've seen looked really cool. Especially that Zombie castle level where you fight some undead moose thing, oh and that blatant hint at Goldeneye level set on the train.

Can't wait for this game! should be fun online too. If only to play as a ninja monkey and whoop fat Americans as they run around wondering where the jump button is.

Yup.

For once we have a game on Xbox Live where the diffrent skins actually look different instead of just a colour of clothes change. Hopefully people won't take the game as seriously as they do stuff like Halo 2. How on earth could you take a game seriously where you can play as zombie monkeys and large octopus like fish?

I'm really looking forward to the Arcade and Challenge modes also. Been playing through TS2 again this week and they really are excellent, frustratingly hard at times but you always get the feeling that you're making progress because of the shear amount of stuff to unlock.

And it's a great feeling when you 100% complete it :)

I nearly had 100% on TS2 when I had it on Cube.

I just couldn't get a gold on that challenge where you snipe the melons off the monkeys heads. Oh and I couldn't get any further than Neo Tokyo in sotry mode on hard difficulty.

If you knew all the monkeys came out the same hole it would have been easier! I have 8 characters to unlock. They best be already unlocked on TS3, tis so tedious, just to unlock the characters.
