I never thought that a sequel to Shaq Fu would exist. Reminds me of Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back in that regard.

Yeah it's just riding on the back of a meme.

Anyway, Shaq Fu isn't as bad as people make it out to be.

I've yet to find out for myself how much the original Shaq Fu sucks.

It's actually grand. You can finish it in about ten minutes if you just jump kick. Give the game a go, it's better than you think

The animation is nice and it's got a weird combat system which takes a while to get used to. It's decent if nothing special but at least tries something different from other fighters of the time.

So I've been thinking of finally giving Resident Evil 2 and Beyond Good & Evil a go.
But was wondering what's the best way to play them? I can play BG&E on PC, PS3 or Gamecube. Which is meant to be the better version?
And how is the Gamecube version of Resi Evil 2?

Ye they'll ban all the guns as there's no chance of games getting banned since they've got the government in their pocket; the "Entertainment Software Association" the guys who among other things run E3 by themselves even outspend the NRA.

You're right.

It's worse.

I'd say all 3 are fine, PC probably has the best loading times.

Resi 2:

PC & DC versions of Resi 2 are the "best" visually, but GC port is fine.

I think if you play BG&E on PC you have to use mouse/kb. For some reason it was like this and it was never fixed to allow gamepads properly.

Saw some online saying that as well as problems with the HD version on PS3. May settle with Gamecube for both games

Played it start to finish on PS3, BG&E HD, and I can't recall any issues! Great little game, and a handy Platinum too!

Cheats/easy mode with explanations basically.

Also...the first 2 mins of the video....the 2 things in games that he firmly believes in, contrasting each other, near polar opposites....so annoying.

Good video though, I can kind of see his point.

I died over 2000 times in Celeste. No assist mode for me :P

In a way this is so sad

I'm currently playing RE2 myself on the ps3 and absolutely loving it, god the atmosphere is still amazing, what a great game. I love the variety of weapons and attention to detail but nearly had a meltdown yestetday in Claire scenario 2, I needed a crest to get a key to get the lighter to get the cogwheel and I only got half the jaguar stone and now I need another red gem..

"I lost my 10 year old son to Fortnite"

An Irish ma and her kid on This Morning on ITV saying Fortnite is changing her son's mood and he doesn't want to stop playing it. "He's very excited, shouting on headset with his friends and he is very excited after playing it, hard to settle him"

Jaysus sake.

Sounds like me and my mates at that age after playing street fighter, or Mario kart, or just football or tip the cam or whatever outside.

Actually it sounds like just about every generation of children ever after a stimulating activity.

But its totally fine for adult men and women and their kids to get very excited and shout at a football match or any other sporting event either on TV or in a pub or at the event itself.

I'd say there was some adults that are hard to settle too when they go on the piss when their team wins or loses.

Was only half listening but they just left her off. Saying how FIFA never used to get him worked up and she's usually not to strict with ages on games but she's worried about him. Phil did read out a mail they got about how a kid would threaten to "smash the house" after playing Fortnite :pac:

Parents need to parent there kids. The whole blaming video games thing is beyond silly at this point. Plenty of kids play these things and don't lose the run of themselves, as there parents are doing there job.

Failing to see where this is a games problem and more of a problem with the child or the parenting. I'm sure limiting the childs gaming time would help assuming he is on it loads and acts up afterwards, but a bit of discipline wouldn't hurt either instead of emailing Holly and Phil.

Ha someone called in and said when they stop their kid playing, they become angry and depressed. Honestly, I get the same when I have to stop playing and do adult ****.

My mother did that with me, when I played too much Nintendo as a kid. Its a simple matter of parenting. Amazing how lazy some parents are.
