@Platypus Man: Sadly true. 3rd party support on Nintendo's machines has been somewhat lacking since the Snes days. Ironically, this generation has seen the Wii and DS swamped by 3rd party games, but the vast majority have been crappy family friendly party games.

@Platypus Man: Don't forget Beyond Good & Evil, Spider Man 1 & 2, Star Wars: Jedi Outcast, Star Wars: Rogue Squadron II, Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, Resident Evil, Resident Evil 4, Etarnal Darkness and Paper Mario: The 1000 year Door.

Perspective.

You want worse? I'll give you worse. Nelvana cartoon worse.

@twinturbo2: Agreed. Very comfortable controller, but very limited in the number of buttons. Should have had another two face buttons. And could really have used a second stick.

@Gemini-Phoenix: I thought that was weird. I remember a Jaguar being set up for trying out in my local Virgin Megastore and it sure as hell didn't have shoulder buttons. According to Atari-Age the X, Y, Z and shoulder buttons on the Pro pad were just remapped from the numeric pad anyway.

James Cromwell is Australian. :D

Fair enough. You're right - there will be those who'll curse the new movie before they've even seen it. Happened with the Trek reboot, happened with Daniel Craig as 007.

What's weak about it? I'm not saying that there's no decent actors in the states, just that it makes no sense to bash a non-American actor for playing an American icon.

@Eriah: Why? Surely it's about getting the best actor for the part? Besides, it's not like there aren't actors of other nationalities playing some of America's best known characters. Christian Bale in Batman Begins/The Dark Knight is British. James Garfield in the Spider-Man reboot is British, Eric Bana -an Australian…

@DocSeuss: Er, America is imperialist.

@mnchkn: My old man shot himself in the face when he was a kid. Bullet ricocheted off the garage door, when in his open mouth and out though the cheek.

@Azel: But then again, neither Labour nor the Tories have been champions of the creative industries over the years. The film industry suffered hugely because the Tories took away tax benefits years ago, then so did Labour, now the Tories are doing away with the UK Film Council. It's all tit-for-tat.

@bonniegrrl: Ta dah!

@bonniegrrl:

@Amazing_Spiderham: You have noticed that Hollywood has few original ideas for blockbuster movies these days, right? Lots of the old great TV shows have been remade, old movies have been remade, the iconic comic book characters are mostly used up. So, the next area for original stories with a potential built in…

@anitesh.jaswal: Really? Cos I'd have thought that the bigger insult to Brosnan was when EON went all "Will they/won't they" on casting him in Casino Royale. Or doing that whole pre-credits Korean jail sequence in Die Another Day. And then giving him an invisible car, Madonna and a cartoon villain for the rest of the…

@The Cap'n: As far as Wii shooters go, I thought the original was pretty damn good. I'm not saying it'd stand up so well it were on PS3 or Xbox, but as far as thr Wii's concerned, it was a good game.

@FriedPeeps: Clearly you haven't played cheap God of War knock-off "Hero of Sparta" on the iPhone/iPod Touch. Then you'd know what he means by 'half the gaming experience'.
