...seriously, you spoil me.

Paper Mario 2 emblazaned across the front. An absolutely HUGE preview of it and some cut out thingy majiggies. They read my mind.

Pauls's Sense Talk as great as ever, A 'Cube 3rd Birthday round-up, Timesplitters Future Perfect and so much more.

Hurrah.

I don't really see any long term playability with anything involving farming or talking animals and stuff like that, i just think that games like the sims and all these other reality stuff get really boring after a short while, and you really do need a couple of months to forget about how boring it was to go back to them again, by that time you've already completed some much better games to death and there's nothing new coming out so you go back to something second rate for a whie coz that's all you have.

I will do, Second Sight doesn't seem to be a long game and Wario Ware is only so much fun in Single Player, so I'll get it out for another go soon. The main attraction to actually sticking at it to finish the first year was to see me married.. but I don't think there's any more big developments coming up, is there?

Did you ever return to the game?

Sure after being addicted to the game for 10 hours it can get boring... but return to it a month later (like I do with Harvest Moon) and it is perfectly playable again.

I think NGCs scores are rather high. Some of the games should get much lower - especially after NGC have ripped the games apart sometimes.

Yeah, they definately need to give away some more decent DVD's, or organise some more Cube demos, like when they gave the SplinterCell demo away. Well when I say that, I really mean, requiring me to go down to my local Woolies, and getting them to order one from France for me!

I think some of NGC's reviews scores are a bit harsh sometimes, and they don't give away anything decent like videos for future games (excluding the E3 vid coz that was the only one).

Actually, that was a review.
They just didn't give it a score, because it was in Japanese for one (and the Mario RPG dialogue is usually genius) and hadn't sampled hardly any sidequests.

But they basically say it's gonna get high-90's when zee englisch version comes around.
