'Back for More' – 2009 by Rob Gallagher MSt

Montage Film Reviews freelance writer Rob Gallagher MSt has written a review of the Gay comedy 'Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild' 2008 (dir. Todd Stephens); in which he looks at how Todd Stephens’ sequel puts a gay spin on the gross-out genre. While there’s a lot wrong with the film in and of itself, as a commentary on Hollywood comedies’ hidden agendas it’s fascinating.

£40

That's right. Nintendo are charging you £40 for a 5 year old Snes game. It's sad isn't it. Especially when in a years time you'll be able to by a super Gamecube version of Mario Kart for just £25!

Does anyone know how much the games will cost, and will Mario Kart Advance be out at launch?

DO I test hardware? I only wish!

No, I know people who are in the games retail business and they tend to get imported hardware and software before it even becomes available in it's original country (usually Japan)

Unfortunately, as I said before, I couldn't afford the £200 asking price for an import GBA and have pre-ordered a UK one for June. They are compatible with foreign games (at least, it works on the Jap one with UK gameboy games) and as for battery life, I don't know yet as my friend only got his the other day and the batteries haven't run out yet. According to Nintendo, the battery life should be somewhere around 20-30 hours play, much more than the Gamegear (I've got one and usually have to play it on the mains!) as it doesn't have a backlight.

I'll post my Gameboy Advanced review on this forum, as no-one seems to actually read the GBA forum anyway!

This topic is degenerating into an interesting topic:)

A brand new Metroid has been announced. That's a start...

As good as the GBA is, Nintendo are still doing everything in their power to rip us off.

They want to charge us £40 for Snes games or £40 for Mario 2 from the Nes.

If they treated their customers well then they would create a sequel to Super Mario World. Yes. A brand new game on the GBA.

Ironic isn't it. The Nintendo who are so generous in terms of new games and prices with the Gamecube are trying to squeeze every last penny out of it's GBA fans.

So you have a GBA pb?

do you test hardware and crap like that for a job?

So does the GBA have good sound? where are the speakers? How about the loading times?

im really considering pre-ordering one, apparently they're universaly used, so i can pick one up in Hong Kong, and play EU games on it.

Also, how is it on Battery Juice, is it advisable to get a mains adaptor (ive had many a bad experience with my Game Gear... im sure those of you who have had one will know what i mean)

This is a good argument will it or won't it?
It won't because it doesn't have the power to even be as good as them but if Nintendo get's enough tird parties to develop for them it will be good.
