    I loved Godzilla! :o
    A little more fighting time would have been good, but I thought the movie was all round excellent!

    I also enjoyed Godzilla, but it was a bit disingenuous pushing it as Bryan Cranston movie.

    I liked the fact that the proportions of the magnificent Godzilla were exactly the same as a guy in a rubber suit, even though it wasn't a guy in a rubber suit.
    It was a great film though, however the soldier seemed to be suffering from the John McClane effect, being in the wrong place at the right time again and again.
    I think it would have been more interesting to have had number of different leads to account for the geographically disparate sites of the action.

    No Godzuki though :eek:

    Decided to just say feck it and cash in all my store credit and start off my Mega Drive collection.

    hv2sjuX.jpg

    Paid over the odds, but it was credit, and I can now cut ties! Also have Sonic 1, 2 and Spinball coming in the mail this week, CIB.

    Anybody have any titles they're looking to get rid of? :P

    Bit of a nostalgia trip today. I received Gunners Heaven. Back when the PlayStation launched in Europe, I bought the console and one game, Rapid Reload (the Western name for Gunners Heaven) while everyone else bought Ridge Racer I guess.

    This is the first time I've owned this game again since. Kinda wish I'd held on to Rapid Reload now as it's worth a few quid as it's one of the rarer PAL PlayStation games.

    That said, this version plays at the proper speed and I think has some extras the PAL release had removed?

    I'll wait until I get my new laser unit for my Audiophile PlayStation before firing this minty beauty up I think. :)

    Fantastic game, really under appreciated.

    /Edit: and doubled in price since I was looking into picking it up a few years back, balls!

    Gunners Heaven? Yep! Nobody knows who was the real team behind it. It's rumoured it was Treasure, but heck, who cares, I think it's a brilliant game so for me that's all that matters. Plus the huge nostalgia factor that this game brings to me. Lots of memories flooding back now of my friend who's dad owned the local games shop.

    His brother sold me my pre-ordered copy of FFVII before the release date as they got them in early.

    About a week later, his dad had just finished paying for a new conservatory they just had built at his gaf. Said friend and I were smoking out of his bedroom window one night after a Saturday night knacker drinking. He vomited all over the roof before I pinged a cigarette butt out the window and promptly burned down the newly fitted roof on their conservatory.

    Aside from the last days of high school I've not seen him or his family since... :confused:

    THE POWER A SINGLE VIDEO GAME HAS TO HOLD MEMORIES FOR PEOPLE! NOSTALGIA! :)

    It's a great Gunstar Heroes clone. Not quite as good but great none the less. I doubt Treasure made it though, just doesn't really have that same feel and the art isn't by Han. I always thought it was by the team behind Wild Arms?

    Dunno. It remains an unsolved mystery.

    I think Stuart there is jumping to conclusions. It's never been mentioned by anyone at Treasure and it doesn't really feel like a Treasure game to me, more like a company making a homage to Treasure. It's not as slick as something like Alien Soldier or Gunstar with some boss patterns being a bit iffy and predictable. It never really keeps you on your toes and constantly moving like treasure games from back then. The art is all wrong as well. It's more likely made by a team wanting to copy Gunstar.

    Media.vision made a lot of 3DO games as well so it could be a 3DO team that made it either although I'd be surprised there wasn't just the one team at media.vision that made wild arms and gunners heaven.

    I'd put all the money I own on it not being Treasure.

    Well, Gunstar Heroes is on the Classic Collection I just picked up.

    They were looking for €45 I think in the store for Castlevania, which I thought was a bit much. I'll have to check it out on the 'Bay now though :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,135 ✭✭✭fifth


    Bought a lot of 23 original Xbox games this week - €30 for the lot.. but inside there was a nice surprise:

    Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis (Xbox) CIB, near mint.

    Nothing else of note really, except for Project Zero and The Warriors. It's not as if I find this stuff regularly or anything, this was a once off (except for Klonoa last week but thats an exception!) :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 554 ✭✭✭TotallyEpic


    It's semi-complete in box, missing the manual (has the front page).

    I'll watch it, short on cash until my next payday :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,565 ✭✭✭✭OwaynOTT


    Quick question lads about a recent transaction for me..
    I recently got Pandora's Tower LE for €40 incl post. It took a
    Most a month to get it, seller claimed to have sent it to the wrong buyer.
    Received it last week. It was sent stuffed into a DVD size Jiffy bag and has suffered damage as a result, the flap has come loose and is completely bent out of shape and most of the edges have been worn - it was described as mint by the seller. The envelope was also ripped and well worn and in my view was totally inadequate to send a box the size of this game.
    Seller is taking no responsibility and hasn't even offered an apology for the damage and sees no issue with the material used in postage.
    Am I being unreasonable in expecting it sent in a box or at least in a decent sized envelope with some additional padding?
    Maybe I'm just moody because a bird defecated on my Pokemon Typing Adventure.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 554 ✭✭✭TotallyEpic


    Did you pay via Paypal? If the seller refuses to take responsibility, file a claim.

    Seller sounds like an ass. I'd definitely file a claim.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,565 ✭✭✭✭OwaynOTT


    Paypal all right, learned the lesson there after getting burned on am Amiga CD32. I know I can start a claim but I'm not sure if I should, if I'm being pernickety or just overly concerned with condition. I mean I think €40 was a decent price but....

    Seems like a reasonable thing to do to a Pokemon game if you ask me :eek::eek::D:D

    I've played pokemon yellow and that's it so far but I'm not sure I agree Steve, I got two of them though so does that make it a better purchase.

    Actually got 4 pokemon games today all new and sealed for the grand total of €30. Tesco vouchers from my granny :pac:

    If you paid for a mint copy, you should receive a mint copy. It's the responsibility of the seller to ensure that you receive the item in the same condition it was when it was sold.

    And because he's being an ass, I'd file a claim and keep the game.

    Just these two from me. Been playing ace attorney all day. I don't see why this can't get a European/American release as it's entirely in English. Well and japanese too if you wish.

    You're not at all and you should have received the game as advertised.

    I remember once I bought a Master System Converter II (rare enough yolks) in it's original box. The guy stuck a single layer of brown paper around the box. It took an absolute beating and completely killed any value it once had.

    I still regret not filing a claim, 7-6 years later! :eek:

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,276 ✭✭✭readyletsgo


    Where was ME for a tenner? Wouldn't mind giving that a shot myself.

    HMV on Henry St, its Xtra-vision stock, the disc was in perfect condition and came with the Nintendo Points card un-used.
    I also enjoyed Godzilla, but it was a bit disingenuous pushing it as Bryan Cranston movie.

    Yup the first 30 mins are great with Bryan Cranston, he had the passion of the role, when he's 'gone' the film takes a complete nose dive to rubbishvill for what felt like 2 more hours, too much focus on (the pointless and very bad acting)humans, not enough focus on Gozillla and the other yokes. Pacific Rim was a million times better and got it right even with the cardboard cut-outs for actors.

    And as of yesterday a sequel was given the green light. I wont being to see that, thats for sure!

    Saw Bad Neighbours yesterday, infinitely better movie :D

    Actually... isn't he located in the US?
