Doctor Evil: Why make billions when we can make...millions?

This comment is actually pretty stupid when you think about it 007craft.  If you have made $1 profit then you havn't
lost Billions of Dollars you have made $1.  Sure you may have to spend Billions of dollars to get that $1 profit but you havn't lost those Billions of dollars to make a profit.  You simply have a revenue of Billions of Dollars + 1 hence giving you $1 profit.....  Damn this is making my head spin.....

Getting back on topic, this is really really good news for GameCube.  Nintendo may even catch the Xbox in the USA before this console war is over.....

Nintendo Gaming / What do you think of IGN's Top 100 games ever?

« on: May 09, 2003, 05:35:38 PM »

0verall I liked this list, much better than some of the other top 100 lists that have been circulating however (as always) I feel that there were some great games that missed the cut..... Here are just a few of them:

Marathon (Bungie):  Before Halo and when Bungie was a Mac only company they released a first person shooter that was more advanced than any at the time.  It had an evolving story line that was unheard of for a shooter back then.  I would of placed it around 50th.

Donkey Kong Country (Rare):  The game that saved the SNES from an early exit.  Kick ass graphics and great gameplay to Boot.  I would of placed it somewhere around 80th

Myth (Bungie):  Bungie continued there fine form when they released Myth for Mac and Pc back in 1997.  It was a RTS game with a difference; it was purley tactical, no need to micromanage at all.  A top 50 game for sure.

Super Mario Bros 3 (Nintendo):  This was a travesty of justice in my opinion!  By far and away my favourite Mario Brothers.  I would of placed it top 5 at least.

Escape Velocity (Ambrosia):  Another Mac only game.  Think of it as an updated Elite (if you know that game)  A classic game that made my PC using friends extremely jelous back in 1996.  I would of placed it Top 50.

Total Anhilation (Cave Dog): In my mind as good an RTS as any, definatly up there with Starcraft.  I would of placed it Top 40.

Heroes III (3DO):  A great Turn Based Strategy game.  It really should of been found somewhere in the list.

Well those are just a few of the games I would of placed in the Top 100 but overall I am pretty impressed with IGN's effort.

Nintendo Gaming / Prime vs. Windwaker

I'm Australian so I haven't yet had a chance to play the latest Zelda so baring that in mind.

For the people out there who think that it doesn't really matter what graphical style a game has, get a clue!  The whole idea behind the graphics (and the sounds and music for that matter) is to help involve the player into the game.  If some people here feel that a realistic zelda would have been a better game then the cartoon zelda, then this is a perfectly valid point.  If the Cel-Style type of graphics did not help to involve them in the game or, even worse, distract them from the game then why do you people say that the graphical style makes no difference to the overall game?

Could it possibly be Super Smash Brothers Melee 2? However my money is on something like Mario Tennis/Golf
