I'M pissed. I just spent 10 minutes writing a good thing about beyond good and evil on my wii with a crapp keyboard, went to spellcheck it and lost it all. Warning- do not spellcheck here with the wii. I'm pissed, I know everything there is to know about that game and had a top 100 speed record at the online site where you'd put in the code it gave you at the end of the game. EDIT: found it, after going back a bunch of pages, it showed up, out of order from my history. I'm confused. Posted on: December 23, 2007, 10:26:56 PM
Beyond Good & Evil.
Was supposed to be a trilogy and was a totally awesome sleeper hit from Ubisoft but poor advertising and such killed sales and they decided to not make the the two sequels (I think, I heard).
Friggin amazing game. they had codes for when you beat it, and I beat the whole game in I think 3 hours with one of the fastest recorded times. Great stuff. They chose NOT to make sequels because Prince of Persia SoT was released at the same time and they only planned on choosing one series to follow up with. Ubisoft failed to plan on two AMAZING games, and chose the one with more appeal, sword fighting/time freezing. If I ever heard ANYTHING about a Beyond Good and Evil sequal, I'd be the first to preorder it. Remember the song "Propaganda" at the shop? Yeah. Also, that 3.5 hour playthrough was at 100% And now that I'm reminiscing, I'm thinking about the dude in the armor, and fart launching pig, and boss fights, and I MIGHT go rebuy it.

OK seriously, I felt like the only person who's played that game on this site. Good to know I'm not. It's very odd for Ubisoft to ##### up like that, but I guess they couldn't expect both games to rule. I still say that NBA Jam is the best basketball game ever. But if you like NBA Jam try NBA Street Vol. 2 on GameCube. It's got similar stuff and it's awesome.
I'll keep an eye out, but you're right. I despise basketball games because they tend to be boring, but NBA Jam was just great.
"HE'S ON FIRE! BOOM-SHAKALAKALAKA!"
Actually there's an NBA Street Vol. 3 as well but I haven't tried it. I only first tried Vol. 2 'cause my friend has it as his apartment on campus so we chill there in between classes. But I absolutely love it and apparently you can make custom guys. You can do all sorts of tricks (and a lot of them aren't NBA-legal because it's more about playing street) and it even has turbo like NBA Jam. Basically all I could think of when playing the first time was "This is like a new NBA Jam! : - D". I love to play real ball all the time but I don't get to do it often. Either way I'm not as good as I was back when I lived in a project as a kid (since that's one of the only main sports we did). I suck now, I was only OK then.

I wish Lunar had a proper new game, of course. I heard Rez or someone say the DS one is trash, but I might still pick it up just because I'm a punk.
You take damage from running. Let me repete that in case you missed it. RUNNING. If you want to move faster than a snail on glue on the over world maps, you take HP damage. This is but one of the absolutely comically bad game design concepts used for this game. A good sequel for Chrono Trigger.
The sequel is Chrono Cross, which was also amazing. It was supposed to be followed by Chrono Break but looks like that's not happening since SE let the trademark on the name run out. And that is a sequel I REALLY want.
Chrono Cross is actually a good game in it's own right, but as a sequal to Chrono Trigger it's a piece of #####. It voided the whole point of Chrono Trigger (you can change the future for the better), had no time travel, killed the entire cast of the first game, abandoned the double/triple tech (yes I know there are all of 3 or 4 in the game and they're nearly impossible to get w/o a guide). But I think of it as a stand alone game that references CT in a bad sort of way. As I said, take it as it's own game and it's quite good. Blue Dragon, really? I haven't played that or anything but... I've gotten absolutely no Chrono feel from looking at any of it.
Chrono huh? Gee, I really got a Blue Dragon Ball Z vibe from it.
Leave it to Mr. Toriama. It feels about as much like Chrono Trigger as Dragon Quest does.
All true. Having played the demo a bit with a friend I have to say this resembles Chrono Trigger in no way what so ever. It's like saying a Man is the spiritual successor to wood. I can't say I cared for the combat/magic system in the game at all myself. Sequal Rez would like to see? Mega Man X5, seeing as X4 was the last X game. Baring that sweet, sweet impossibility I'll say Space Quest 7 or Gabriel Knight 4.

I wish Apogee and ID would continue the Commander Keen series....Lots of fans have been waiting for a Keen 8 for over 15 years now. I think Apogee or ID should stop making excuses, and just get to work.....Everyone is tried of Nukem Nukem type death, death, kill games....Continue the Keen series! For anyone who has never played the series you must....NOW!! Download Keen 4
