Looks marvellous, I'm going to rewind my brain to 1996 and not be a cynic.
Gee.... I don't know about the rest of you guys, but lately the only things that truly motivate me are erections and bowel movements.

Thank the Police coming straight from the underground...

Bump!

My local game store has copies of Castlevania Chronicles and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night for the Playstation at a reasonable 20 and 70 quid respectively. I know what I'm spending my summer doing!

SotN is worth it, just to have a solid copy of the game for all time. It will go for way more on Ebay in a few years I think.

Has anyone played Portal 2? I've only just started playing Portal 1, which is really quite mad and amazing. I've had the Orange Box for ages and for some reason never played this game, perhaps because I thought it looked boring. Ironically, (or perhaps not) I gave up on Half Life 2 because I found that really boring, and Portal brings me so much more joy. How lovely.

Jon you lovely man, I have just completed Portal 2 it is well worth it better than the first, I recommend you purchase it in bottle caps if you have to.

Stephen Merchant is in the second one to as one of the main character = joyful times.

TEH CAKE IS A LIEEEEEEEEEEEEEe.

Vanquish is the fucking nuts. seriously underrated. its basically kind of like modern 3d contra with segas jap influences.

I've been wanting to play Bahamut Lagoon for years. Good to know that its... well, good. I'll have to be a cheeky pirate and get around to it.

On my second playhtrough of FFVII Crisis Core on PSP, but shit's a pain in the tits. New Game+ carries your levels, items and materia over, but none of your summons, shops or key items? Bullshit!

It was that bloody stupid bit where you had to spend 10 years driving a hovercraft thing through a boring swamp that ruined the whole experience for me. Portal however, was amazing. I'll get Portal 2 when it's a bit cheaper because I've bloody well had enough of paying £40 for games that last 5 hours, even if they're really good.

I've just finished Castlevania 1 (HARD fucking game) and Castlevania, Rondo of Blood (HARDER fucking game) and now I'm on to Castlevania 3, Dracula's Curse (HARDERIST fucking game ever). Basically, Castlevania is the best game series of all time, of ALL TIME!
