I stopped following the FEAR series after the first game, so I'm not dying for a conclusion or will play this installment, that's why I also just watched the ending on youtube and I must say - it is not that bad! Just not the ending some people might hope for (after FEAR 1 and its two expansions). The Monolith guys really seem to be pulling all strings in terms of horror, really some of the best polished effects and in-game cutscenes I have seen, but I've never found the story that compelling...and the gameplay doesn't seem to offer much new either.

Quote from Minotauro
Is that Tengoku Gold or something like that?Looking forward to the DSi but I won´t be getting one so soon.
Yep, it's the sequel to Rhythm Tengoku (the GBA game).
Quote from Ginger LordI thought that was the point of WiiWare and presumably DSiWare. No idea on how you get your hands on the SDK though, but they did tout it as though anyone could make stuff to get on there, not just the big companies.
I'm not completely familiar with the development part of the DSi Ware and the process to get it up there, but it's closer to Wii Ware than the Apple app store. So how many applications there will be to download one day remains to be seen, but there are already a bunch of small, fun titles to download. If you buy a DSi you will get 1000 DSi points for free to get you started (plus DSi Browser and "Moving Memo Pad" are free to download too), so it's definitely worth connecting it to the store if you happen to get a DSi.

So now that the European release date and price has been announced, I decided it's time for some pimping. The launch campaign is barely rolling yet, but the European trailer is already up - check it out here to find out what the DSi is all about. Look the Americans even get a blue one! Still wouldn't trade in my white one for one of those

Along with that announcement the news broke that "Rhythm Heaven" will launch in the US the same day, which I've already played heaps of. Fantastic title! It's a "Rhythm" game that's hard to describe, watch the Japanese TVC celebrity executions to get an idea.
I'm not sure if there is any interest in discussing Nintendo's (handheld) products, but I thought I would share
If you have any questions I'll do my best to answer them (as time permits)!

Quote from Sentura
yeah, it appears that people prefer the PS3 controller on this especific title, kinda odd though, most of the time people prefer the Xbox360 pad for shooters and stuff. I guess PS3 pad is more suitable for kinda old school gaming.
Well, it's because the 360 d-pad is terrible and you don't really use it for shooters. You could always pick up the fighting stick, I guess.
so, because it's popular, it's obviously the only right and true game to play.
i had to. you people really need to broaden your horizons.
Where do you get this idea from, maybe the PS3 d-pad is actually superior to the 360 one! It makes sense to me at least, I'm not a big fan of the 360 d-pad!

There was no new, real street fighter after "Street Fighter II Turbo" to me....this might change now.
