Quote from: "andrewclunn"Okay, honestly people.  Pokemon Snap was a crappy game.  The sooner you admit that to yourselves the better off you'll be.

Its easily a shit game by todays standards.  I had that game when I was in ... middle school I think.  It was awesome for us, but I honestly have no idea why my buddy downloaded it on my Wii.  He wanted Paper Mario Thousand Year Door but they didn't have it so he had to settle for the original.

Bullshit. Pokemon snap was a great experiment for it's time, and it made lots of budding photographers very happy. Besides, the game never was about making a high score, for your information, it was about taking funny pictures and then adding hilarious captions!

For example, I remember this one picture me and my cousins took, (we all played the game en masse.), where squirtle is nocked out on his shell, and the picture was taking at just the right time so that it looked like squirtle was stuffed inside a bowl, and his tail looked like a spoon. The caption? "Sir, my soup is raw..."  :upset:

If you have a Wii you can download it ^_^ play it with a game cube controller.

I just bought Forza 3 and Borderlands for the Xbox. Forza is astonishing. I love how beautiful you can make cars look with the paint section. I'll be playing that for ages.
Borderlands is nothing short of sublime. One of the most exhilarating games i have played in years. If anyone likes shootem-ups and RPG's you will love this.

I've heard lots and lots about this Borderlands game. I may have to buy it just to see what it is actually like, specially after peoples claims of it being 'like Fallout 3 only better'. Also, apparently I am a horrible person for not having the undying urge to play Shadow of the Colossus, so much so that some friends have been at me for a few days to rent it or buy it just to see what it's like. I have told them I do not want to and that buying a game I don't even want would be a waste of money. But I seemed to loose them after that because they continue to demand that I play this bloody game D:

SotC is one of the most amazing games ever made. Truly. If it sways you at all, it's one of the very few games I'll want to play when I've been drinking because it's just so damn breathtaking and fun, not to mention ridiculously satisfying when you bring down one of the colossi. Ugh, it's so great.  :crazy:

Isn't SotC like, a prequel to Eco, or whatever that game with the kid and the hords is? I think I played a demo once. I swear, the girl is completely useless! She better be putting out for all the shit I go through for her. Oh, wait, isn't she his mom? Eww... :tgif:

Yep, it's the prequel to Ico. On a related and equally awesome note, they're making another game:

If you go to their website last I checked they were taking applications to be beta testers.  I applied but have yet to hear anything from them.

Changing the topic here, but you know what game was very difficult for me? Super Mario Sunshine. It wasn't a very good game, either. And it was Looong, but I managed to beat it.

So why did I stick with sunshine instead of getting Super Mario Galaxy?

..no wii.  :secret:

Galaxy was fun ... though I never beat it ... I think Galaxy 2 is out too (not sure).  I've played both and by far galaxy is better.  You should get a wii they are cheap and if you have friends (I don't know since you spend a lot of time on this forum like me) then the multi-playerness is great.

Noo... I don't have any friends. I live all by my lonesome. I'm actually quite anti-social. Should probably work on that.  lol
As for getting a Wii, it's been about 4 years now, hasn't it? Shouldn't they be releasing new consoles pretty soon?
