On the Nintendo front. It seems after a mad blast if sweet titles everything has suddenly died a painful death for the time being. E3 was decent but that doesn't make up for a lack of releases in the mean time. I have scanned through the titles to be released however all the main ones are the back end of this year with the possible exception ofPikmin2which will hopefully be brought forward.

Haven't played my Cube since completing Metal Gear: Twin Snakes with LIVE and Ninja Gaiden taking up most of the playing time. My current Cube collection is pretty much complete with very little to nothing else worth getting at the moment, possibly Mario Golf will be my next purchase when they finally release it this summer.

So if anyone can enlighten me on decent release in the meantime I would much oblige.

Cheers!

Addictive? That's one word for it....

A) You know I'm not an idiot enough to not play a game and yet have judgement
B) It's far over half way.
C) It's rubbish.

So what exactly does online gaming consist of? is it just mulitplayer battleing or is there alot of co-operitive? give me the lowdown for both RS3 and pandora tomorrow.

If nintendo wants to remain offline thats fine by me but what they have to do to counteract this desicion with games such as SOAL that are incredibly indepth with lengthy overall completetion times. Not just crammed full of shoddy mini games and various difficulties but much larger main games. Windwaker, Sunshine and Luigis mansion are all prime examples of brilliant gameplay with a distinct lack in overall length.

If nintendo choose to stick with offline gaming then they have to make larger games *fact*

CO-OP is muchly awesome on Elite difficulty, that reminds me Matt, when you going to get your black ass back on LIVE?

Oh and Cyclone I believe that isn't even half way through the game..

Hah, I've got to the level where you have to infiltrate a villa without raising alarm.

The game is a giant tube with you stuck at one end, forced to work through enemies always in the same place, rubbish AI, and then you end. Completely uninvolving.

Online, it's class.

I disagree, Rainbow Six 3 offline is excellent providing you are any good at it. Most people who say that haven't even bothered advancing past the first mission.
