Alongside Leisure Suit Larry, Rockstar Ate My Hamster was one of the best games I played as a 13/14 yr old, so funny! I didn't know there was a remake in the works. I do now!
And wtf!!! Bear McCreary (of BSG) did the tunes for Dark Void & Zero? Awesome! Suddenly I need those games!
I disagree mastersworddude, they should have stayed in the hardware business and not piggy backed like this. Sonic lost his identity and respect for the company dwindles. I don't see how that is good.
If it weren't for Mario's recent success' in 2D, I imagine this woulda just been another 3D gimpfest. Go Sega, wooh!
If they delete my Rumble demo I'll be sad. I like it, but not enough to buy it, just yet. I hope they don't steal the demo from me.
If a fresh batch of demo's doesn't follow this deadline, I shall be disappointed. Go Ninty! Gimme treats! Ones I haven't already downloaded this time please.
@RichieTheSignPainter: I'm colour blind too and really struggled here and there. Sometimes all I was left with was trial and error, not fun. i blame my eyes before i blame the game tho'
@Kirk: That's a lot of typing for someone who has never even played the game. I'd read it, but as you have never played the game, your opinions are moot and will only annoy me.
@Brandon: Snap, I tried to 100% this, woah, what a nightmare!
Woah whats with all the complaints, this game was excellent. The only minor gripe I had was with the flick jump (which worked fine, just got tiring after 30 minutes), and that the levels were a little too big. Besides those minor issues, it was fantastic. The visuals, the gameplay, the music, all awesome!
This game is fun! I'm assuming people still know what that is
@The Fox: I've hardly played NSMBW on my own yet, I'm still having too much fun in multiplayer, its hilarious and gets more challenging the more players you add. I'm not sure what you are on about. :/ don't shoot me ;P
@Damo: I have seen Dance with Wolves a dozen times already, it is one of my all time favourites. People who went to see Avatar expecting more than a visually arresting blockbuster, have only themselves to blame, not the film. I went in, knowing what i was getting, and came out very very satisfied.
As for the game. I shall be avoiding.
EDIT: Anyway, originality in cinema these days is a rarity, everything is copying everything. I didn't expect to be intellectually engaged, I expected my eyes to pop out, which they did.I'll stop jabbering now
I (and many others) would really like to see Wii versions of Space Channel 5, Crazy Taxi and Shenmue. Instead, we get a Mario Kart clone with characters borrowed from each.
I'd like to see Jack find a portal which transports him into a world full of colour (I wasn't a fan of the 'artistic' style). I'd also like the game to not become so brain numbingly dull after 3 levels (pole, man, bin, wall, repeat, yawn).
I visited Woodhill Prison when I was 16, as part of a school trip (yeah, I know). We were shocked to learn the in-mates had access to Sky tv. Years later, it seems the situation has only worsened.

Re: Review: Art of Balance (WiiWare)
Day 1 for me! In fact I really wish I could play it right now, it looks so relaxing and fun. Great review Corbie.
I hope it hits EU soon!
Re: First Impressions: And Yet It Moves
@V: Yeah I never have much patience with demo's, very throw away. I imagine I will enjoy it more using the nunchuk n mote, plus I can sit on the sofa.
The concept does intrigue me, I look forward to a review.
Re: First Impressions: And Yet It Moves
I played the demo on PC and just couldn't like it, as much as I tried. I kept getting myself squished!
Re: Dimps Revealed As Sonic 4 Developer
I thought the leaked vid looked sluggish and floaty, but then it is early days.
Re: Review: WarMen Tactics (WiiWare)
A big fat 1! Serves 'em right. Ha!
Thanks Sean, I saw the 'trailer' and was like... "gettin' that!". I'd be surprised if it makes it over here now.
Re: First Impressions: Rune Factory Frontier
Looks beautiful!!! My Wii is waiting for this game, and has been for some time. D:

Thanks for the tunes!

Re: Interviews: Gevo Entertainment - GhostSlayer
What a nice surprise, I really like the sound of this.
WiiWare + Motionplus + Slaying = Win!
Re: Sniper Elite Remade for Wii
I played this on PC time ago, and it was ergh... ok. The addition of new levels/features may tempt me, we shall see.
Re: Nintendo Download: 12th February 2010 (Europe)
Mecha Wars! Excellent, been dying to have a go at that. I can fall off my balance board in a whole new way, wooh!

Re: Review: Hubert the Teddy Bear: Winter Games (WiiWare)
I'm trying to imagine Sean sitting there playing this one. I don't know why, but I find it amusing.
Re: Eduardo the Samurai Toaster Soundtrack Set Free, Is Toasty
So I can have a free soundtrack, but I can't buy the game.
Awesome!
Re: Dead Space Extracted From Wii?
More fuel...
Re: Miyamoto Hints Towards Next Console
2010 is so jam packed with goodness we don't need a new console just yet. 2012 sounds good to me. Yay!
Can't wait for more details on this mystery M+ game. E3 can't come soon enough. Wooh!
Re: Sonic Playable in Super Mario Galaxy 2?
My day just keeps getting worse.

Re: Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 Coming to Wii
Great idea Sega well done, shame you're about ten years too late though, durgh.
Now Sega, please start making consoles again besides your tacky Wii-rip and get this dumb hedgehog away from Nintendo. It's not right! D:
Re: Review: Endless Ocean 2: Adventures of the Deep (Wii)
Gaaaaaaahh... I... must... have... NOW!
Wii-Speak with water and fishies, ah yeah! Gimme!
EDIT: btw james, you found the word to describe EO.... contentment, mmmmm
Re: WiiWare Demo Program Demo Ending This Month
If they delete my Rumble demo I'll be sad. I like it, but not enough to buy it, just yet. I hope they don't steal the demo from me.
If a fresh batch of demo's doesn't follow this deadline, I shall be disappointed. Go Ninty! Gimme treats! Ones I haven't already downloaded this time please.
Re: Nintendo Chief Doesn't Care for the iPad
"Iwata unimpressed by Apple's device"
I just got warm tingles, mmmm.
I'm not too sure why he felt the need to comment tho'
Re: Review: No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle (Wii)
Flower me! I didn't expect a review so soon, but then why would I when there is no fruiting EU release date as yet.
Thanks for the awesome review foozlehead, I'm gonna start a re-run on the original in anticipation, wooh!
Edit: Note even stars will escape my editorial keys! --SEAN
Re: Review: de Blob (Wii)
@RichieTheSignPainter: I'm colour blind too and really struggled here and there. Sometimes all I was left with was trial and error, not fun.
i blame my eyes before i blame the game tho'
Re: BBC Interested In Games Again
Don't care about the others but I would die if they brought out The Adventure's of Makka Pakka. That would be awesome!
You think I'm joking?

Good review Sean, spot on with that 8.
Re: Luigi's Mansion to Get Sequel?
As a GC launch title i found it fun but disappointing. To play it again with NPC would be a joy. A sequel? Now that would be awesome!
Re: Podcast: NLFM Episode 3: BIT.TRIP Down Memory Lane
Listening now, yay. Thanks again Jonathan.
Re: First Impressions: Art of Balance
Oh yes, this is my kind of game. It looks really pretty, and the simple but perfectly suited mechanics will keep me busy for a long time, yay.
Re: Muscle March Coming to WiiWare on Monday
Where?! Oh...
I look forward to the review, should be amusing.
Re: Nintendo Doubly Outsold Everything Else Combined In US Last Month
@The Fox: I've hardly played NSMBW on my own yet, I'm still having too much fun in multiplayer, its hilarious and gets more challenging the more players you add. I'm not sure what you are on about. :/ don't shoot me ;P
As for the story, yay, Wii pwns!
Re: Reggie: No New Console Successor Anytime Soon
I don't need a new console just yet, just more games. I <3 Wii!!

Re: Review: Avatar: The Game (Wii)
Yeah, hilarious comment tealovertoma, shame the movie reviews are all very good. Have you even seen it?
Reading the review now, disappointed by the score, I hope James' write up gives me some reason for hope. :/
Re: Ulala and Crazy Taxi Joining Sonic & Sega All-Star Racing
OK SEGA...
I (and many others) would really like to see Wii versions of Space Channel 5, Crazy Taxi and Shenmue. Instead, we get a Mario Kart clone with characters borrowed from each.
/me sighs...
Re: Even More Nintendo Titles Get The Axe
@pixelman and panda: K thnx guys!
I have BWii, but need to grab Wario some time. While I'm here, might I just say.... "WHERE IS MY EXCITEBOTS?!?!"
Re: Even More Nintendo Titles Get The Axe
I don't like this trend. :/ Could it suggest that the next Nintendo console is closer than we thought, or am I reading too much into this?
Re: MadWorld Director Interested In Stab At Sequel
I'd like to see Jack find a portal which transports him into a world full of colour (I wasn't a fan of the 'artistic' style). I'd also like the game to not become so brain numbingly dull after 3 levels (pole, man, bin, wall, repeat, yawn).
Re: Endless Ocean 2 Comes Up For Air in February
Excellent!!
Re: Miis Race to the Finish in Sonic Racing
I've told myself this game will suck, I hope I'm wrong.
Re: New Zelda for Wii confirmed for release in 2010
So it will be out in 2011 huh, having suffered the traditional delay that Zelda games always do. Wow, super sweet. :/
Re: Broadmoor Inmates Receive Wiis
I visited Woodhill Prison when I was 16, as part of a school trip (yeah, I know). We were shocked to learn the in-mates had access to Sky tv. Years later, it seems the situation has only worsened.
I despair sometimes I really do.
Re: Wii Dominates 2009 Sales
Massive pwnage, woah!
Quite surprising that top 25, especially the Wii Wheel (without game) selling more than ODST. Them be my kinda stats.
Re: Podcast: Episode 11 - Game of the Year 2009!
Wow! That was tense!
That's all I can say so as not to spoil.... WOW!
