Yeah, it does. I found in some levels I would play with the Classic Controller's D-pad, and in other areas with the analog stick.

And regarding the emulators, I got a $10 Dreamcast a couple years back just to play a CDR of 200 emulated, old NES games that was compatible for it. Almost a quarter of them didn't work, and another quarter of them had sketchy gameplay. I think $5 is fine for an old NES game (if it's good enough to get in the first place - as there are plenty of crap games out there). $5 is what I'll spend on a burger and fries. If it's a good game, I don't mind spending that same amount.

I got Space Invaders for my PS2. All the arcade versions. The sit down ones where you put your beer on the screen. The standup ones with colour.

Ace. I used to be really good at that. Did you put your beer on the PS2 to complete the experience?

I just picked up the new Wii version of Resident Evil 4 for $30 (retail!). I've concluded that the Wii was made for blowing heads off of zombies and brainwashed villagers with the Wiimote. Absolutely incredible.

That is a great game. Especially for someone who hasn't played it before on Gamecube or PS2, a must buy.

Yeah, it's ridiculous. It just gets better the further I get into the game.

Watching my wife play it is hilarious. She's a decent gamer, but she just screams and jumps as I as I wish she would ollie when she gets slain by something offscreen. Classic.

I couldn't agree more: For anyone who hasn't played this game on the PS2 or Gamecube, this Wii version is the definitive version and is a must-buy, especially at the lower price it retails for.

I actually had goose bumps playing Resident on my PS late at night. Scary game.

Bags, I put all the beers on the coffee table and slapped it everytime I got bombed.

But alas, it got really stale again after just 2 weeks. Still got it taking up space. Maybe give it another spin this weekend..... maybe not.

If I had an original standup or sit down arcade box it would have to be either Defender or Star Wars. Classic games.

I also remember being keen on a game called Tron - I believe it is coming to XBox Live Arcade this year. That will bring back some memories, perhaps rose-tinted ones.

Tron! Yes I remember that one. The spiders, the car race kind of thing where you had to keep going without crashing into your trail! Classic.

At that rate, another few months and it will be 10 to 1.

yeah and Nintendo stock has only doubled. Much room for manouvre still.

Interesting that.

I don't think there is that much room for moving actually. PS3 has a lot of bad buzz around it and if anything sales are going down rather than up. It might get to a certain point when it is a lost cause. I don't think that will happen, but where are all the titles? (Where are ANY titles?!)

They reckon this "Home" concept might be the turning point but that will be in the last part of the year.

There must be some alarmed people over at Sony these days. They must be praying that the Wii bubble bursts soon.

E3 is next week so there should be some 'exciting' news coming from that. They might even put last-gen rumble back in the PS3 controller. Will be interesting to hear the explanations for that.

Seems MS are owning up to the unacceptable level of red lights ring of death on the 360:

"Microsoft has said that it is facing a bill of more than $1bn to cover the cost of offering extended warranties, after failings with its Xbox 360. The company admitted it had been forced to make "an unacceptable number of repairs" to the consoles after key hardware failed. Customers who suffer the problems will now be given a free three-year warranty, the company said. The failures are indicated by three red flashing lights on the console."

More than $1bn.

I bought an NDS lite yesterday. In black, with the R4 chip. Keeping me very occupied.

Whats the R4 chip thursday?

PS3 to get a $100 price cut next week is the rumour.

well my firend, the R4 takes a micro SD and fits into the cartridge bay of the NDS. The SD can store 2GB of games.

Totally legal of course.

(Can I have one?)

OK, have this
