Actually, I bought Eternal Darkness 9 months ago. I've still never put it into my GC.

ha you should really give it a go. the insanity meter is ****in deadly!

cant wait for metroid prime hunters on ds. should be great. tbh i javnt touched echoes in ages either though. ive just been buyin too much and havnt touched any of the resident evils except 0 and im still only on the first disc. too many games so little time/.

sorry but everyone seems to be ignoring the fact that they are charging 500 for a psp! that is a ****ing disgrace in my opinion. the ds seems to be reasonably enough priced, but 500, they should be shot for trying to charge that much,

Mr E

They probably imported them at that extortionate rate when they were first released. They're probably selling them for what they got them for (+5% for profit).

no the owner actually goes to said foriegn land and purchases! brings em back and sells em

Best game on the GC IMO. I just cannot get into Metroid P (1 or 2, have both). Game just seems shallow and empty, with lots of archaic backtracking which artificially inflates game lifespan 10-fold. Whats wrong with me! :eek:

Do explain. I got stuck on it a long time ago and haven't returned to it since what with all the other quality games out on the GC. I always meant to go back to it though.

well ive only really just started the game but my mate was tellin me to see the proper end of the game you have to finish it three times. i assumne it's somethin to do with the artifact you pick near the start of the game as there is three of them.

Saw the PSP in the window of Mr. Calculator at lunchtime. Reminds me of the old Sega Gamegear in size !!! Looks nice and shiny though and they had a copy of Metal Gear Acid right beside it.

But at €500 + for the kit and game... way too expensive. Liked the look of the DS game cases. Finally the end of cardboard packaging for Nintendo...

The PSP looks v. sweet. review here gives a good idea of what youre getting for E500.

evad_lhorg

holy crap that looks absolutely amazing! tbh i think id prefer it to the ds cause it's lookin like it's gettin more proper games but im still gettin a ds. in fact i do believe it is in the country.

the graphics on that are absolutely amazing!

The thumb stick is something that is seriously lacking on the DS... I'd like to see how well that tiny one works out on the PSP.

There's an PSP version of Ape Escape coming out, isn't there? hmmm... that would tempt me alright... even if the PSP does look like it's wearing a gimp suit...

GTA and Wipeout confirmed for PSP, thats me sold

I wouldn't quite say that...

monkeyfudge

yeah... it's alot more like the Atari Lynx

koneko

The PSP is very very nice. You don't realise how nice until you see it in person. It's super duper nice.

evad_lhorg

it certainly is sweet and not really like any of the other handhelds.

likewise.
i got desperate for cash and ended up selling my copy
thought i'd never pick it up again, but i got the inevitable craving to play it a few days after i sold it.
iirc, the artifact you pick up at the end of the pius chapter (centurion dude - he turns into an evil skeleton after picking up the artifact) dictates which evil power you'll be fighting against.
think you have to play through it 3 times to get the full ending or some crap...
seemed like "lots of archaic backtracking which artificially inflates game lifespan 10-fold." to me (well... 3 fold)

did you recieve yours from him?

Yeah, depending on which artifact Pius picks up, you'll fight against demons that effect you specifically in one way.
My first time through I had Pius pick up the green artifact, so whenever demons appeared, my Sanity meter was the most affected (green meter). If you play against Pius with the red artifact, the enemies take more health (red meter) from you when they attack. Likewise, the blue artifact means you are weakest in magic (blue meter).

So my first time through the game I got the most enjoyment from the various insanity things, cos they happened so frequently

As for PSP, looks nice alright -- I'll have a proper look at one in America next week -- no way I'm buying one at the prices ppl have been quoting in the thread!!

DS is great, though I wish there were more US games available -- Play-Asia keep emailing me about upcoming Japanese releases (Catch! Touch! Yoshi! and Wario Ware etc).
