I just recently bought a wii and am a big zelda fan, but I havent picked up twilight princess yet. Havent heard many good things about it, anyone want to suggest i get it?

[Andy]

yes, its good.

[Patrick]

whatever negative things you've been hearing about twilight princess are probably just "this is amazing but not AS amazing..." so yeah, no matter what it's good.

Yeah, TP is a great game. It's a Gamecube game with some hand-waving, but that doesn't make it any less excellent. The reason people don't like it is because they had huge expectations about how revolutionary the Wii would be. Since it didn't really live up to that with its first game, people have a sour taste from it.

Any Wii sword-fighting that is not simple hack-and-slash would be downright awful. I hope they don't deviate from the TP Wiimote scheme for the next Zelda.

Tropico 3! Played the demo and really liked it. I love those stupidly-in depth menu sims and this is exactly that. 360 has a great library but it's still pretty short on really good (non-RTS) sim games. PS2 still has the best console library to date.

[Randy]

Civ Rev for 360 and PS3 (I have both) is one of my favorite all-time games. I love Civ 4, but sometimes I can't devote 38,000 hours in a week to it, so Civ Rev scratches the itch.

Oh, forgot to mention that, and holy shit yes it does. Several weeks vanished in front of that game. Felt pretty dorky picking Bismarck most of the time, but he's so good

[Jim]

Red Dead Redemption looks pretty excellent. And a little further down the road, I'm gonna have to get 3D Dot Game Heroes. It looks like a shitload of fun.

[JRace]

I finally bit the bullet and saved for a PS3 because of the releases of Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage and Warriors: Legends of Troy. Yes, I am a Warriors junkie and I have loved The Iliad since I was ten. And punching people until they explode is rad.

Also jacked for Dead Rising 2.

But 3D Dot Game Heroes will be my PS3 opening title. Very excited.

[Alicia]

There's going to be a PlayStation Move demo on Attack of the Show! tonight, for anyone interested.

Ive read a couple of reports now that says Metroid: Other M is a giant load of crap. This disappoints me.

[Alex]

I've heard it isn't bad, but basically they interrupt the game a lot for shitty storytelling, when the original Metroid games didn't need Samus getting all shellshocked at the sight of Ridley to establish that he was an imposing motherfucker.
