I really hope it becomes a good multiplayer experience where you are at someone's house instead of the arcades.

I hadn't really thought about it but I guess you have a point about the beat-em up being overtaken by the FPS, though that's not really a route I went down. The only other beat-em up I've played since, on a regular basis, is probably the Tekken series but Street Fighter is always going to feel like the original! Anyway, definitely looking forward to giving the new version a go.

But i am only really attached to games which i collect. Nowdays i just don't have the space for more books and cds so i am more open to have these in the form of files. But like you said, i can't imagine my home without books either just yet. I love the physical product be it a book, cd or games. But i am only really attached to games which i collect.

Maybe when the technology becomes a bit more available and cheaper they'll take off more but I think it's going to be a while before I would consider getting myself one. Even then, in the same way I still buy cds, I can't imagine not wanting to have books on my shelf!

It left a great impression on me. I keep thinking about it like Portal, COD4 and Okami. As for the GBP30, you will probably play the single player once which should take you at most 8hours. So it's up to you. What can i say. It left a great impression on me. I keep thinking about it like Portal, COD4 and Okami.

If I am spending 5 quid on a simple arcade game and I get a few nights enjoyment out of it then I am happy. To me Arcade games are more of an impulse buy, if I am bored of the other 268 games I have in my collection then I can drop a few quid and instantly download a new fix in minutes.

]]> Comment on Scene It? by Mardas http://lostingames.net/2007/12/10/scene-it/#comment-24 Mardas Tue, 11 Dec 2007 11:01:25 +0000 http://lostingames.net/2007/12/10/scene-it/#comment-24 It looks like Scene it? is gonna be a hit with everyone this Christmas. Peeps playing with friends gathered arround a TV knocking back some Christmas cheer and eating some leftover turkey. I can imagine the chaos at Fila's flat from now....should be good dude. I heard that the game has an inbuild mechanism that monitors what questions have been asked so you shouldn't get any repeats until you clock all 1800, good stuff. I might pick up Buzz if I can get it on the cheap. It looks like Scene it? is gonna be a hit with everyone this Christmas.
