this was the name of the place the Tri-Lambs stayed at in Revenge of the Nerds II: Nerds In Paradise. the "hot oral sex" joke was used there too.

Really? It's been so long since I've seen that movie that none of that rings a bell at all. It's good to see my sense of humor hasn't really changed much since I was a teenager though.

as always they seem to condone bitch slapping.

Framerate lagged, and the control looks too floaty. I have hopes for the game, but they aren't terribly high.

[Opaque]

It looks like so much work.

Like RPG Maker, except at least this time you can logically play other peoples shit.

[sedition]

lag is from the streaming video... i saw the trailer on the Spike Game Awards and it wasn't there.

[AaronChance]

LOL. I can't believe you remembered that.

I think NeoZeedeater and Ammadeau also feel Stranglehold is better than both Max Payne games, so I'm not that biased.

Yep, I still do, as long as we're only talking about gameplay. The first level is the worst in the game, except for the laser beam barrier boss fight. That must have looked like a better idea on paper. Wish the multi was worth playing. While it's short, it's a game I'm keeping on my self for the occasional quick action. It's hard to justify $60 on it, but on sale it'd be worth it.

The multiplayer video from the demo looked absolutely hilarious. Not like something I'd want to play for more than shits and giggles, no. The game's $50 including Hard Boiled now, so I may grab it.

So hey, UT3 tomorrow. Eh? Eh?

[Agent X]

Is it any good?

(in reference to High Velocity Bowling)

I'd say it's a good one. It's easy to pick up and play, and the motion controls work well with it.

I want to play Pain, but $10 for one level just doesn't cut it. This is one of those games that's going to try to nickel & dime people to death with extras and add-ons that should have been in the full release, so I'm just going to pass until they offer it properly.

Yeah, I want to try this game too, but many people say it's light on content. The fact that they're already selling downloads of two additional characters has me concerned. I've been noticing this downloadable content trend a lot on PSN in recent weeks, where they've released lots of small download packs for various games (mostly retail games, but a few PSN games as well).

I don't mind when developers design a game to accommodate downloadable content, but they need to be more judicious about what they put out and what they plan on charging for it. Instead of so many small downloads, I'd prefer that they focus on offering just one robust content pack, let everyone enjoy it, and then put closure on the whole project and proceed with development of their next game project. I can understand possibly keeping the door open for a second pack in the event a game becomes very popular (such as Resistance: Fall of Man), but this should also be something substantial that is warranted because of consumer demand and not something the developers deliberately held back just to sell it at a later time.

Downloadable content can be beneficial in extending the life of an older game when it is applied properly, and can attract new fans through positive word of mouth. On the other hand, when it is misused, it can be an extreme turn-off, and serve as a deterrent from future purchases from the game's developer or publisher.

Maybe the 360 version. I hate the Playstation pads for FPS's.
