I've been waiting for this to come to PSP before I decided which version to buy... and to be honest I think the DS version looks better. I loved how it was sort of cartoony and was a throwback to the original topdown arcade fun of the original games. This kind of looks like a step towards the realism of GTA IV. Not that I don't like the new GTA games, but it's not really what I'd want from a handheld GTA. I just hope the graphics aren't an indication as to how it will play and it plays like the DS version.

Great Game, Close to Perfect.

To be honest, I think Majora's Mask holds up slightly better than OoT does today. However, OoT still plays incredibly well and, in my opinion, stands as one of the most important video games ever. Certainly not overrated.

Well, Dylan is God. Anyone who disagrees is evil. It's pretty much scientific fact. Get me a pencil and paper and I'll prove it.

[QUOTE="Lockedge"] Aye. The worst thing is hearing people who've year half of the white album chirp in during a music discussion about how the Beatles are the best band ever. Early Beatles was all about the simple, easy-going pop melodies...the same kind of pop melodies we hear these days. It's how they evolved as songwriters and how they worked with each other that made them so effective as time went on. I don't even enjoy a lot of music by the beatles, but I can appreciate their songwriting. However, yellow Submarine is unforgivable....

But early Beatles were still excellent...A Hard Days Night for example is a pop masterpiece, and their early singles are still fantastic, regardless of how 'simple' they are. Complex =/= good

And who settled that the Beatles were the most overrated?>_>

Low = awesome. That is all. :)

I ignore her and hope that, with time, she'll eventually discover that something beutiful exists within me.

So far it's not working out.

I would recommend Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon's Punisher mini-series from 2000, I know that the Punisher isn't technically a superhero but he is decidedly mainstream. Walt Simonson's run on Thor is worth checking out. I also thoroughly enjoy Mark Gruenwald's Captain America and Peter David's Hulk.

Guys like Alan Moore and David Lapham truly are a rare breed, and when they do superhero stories they tend to be amazing, but they are the exception to the rule. They are just more refined as writers than the vast majority. I am not even saying this to take anything away from the mainstream guys, I just think they have a different vision.

In the end it's all about preference and fans of alt comics will never change the minds of fans of superhero comics and vice versa (and hopefully not entirely dismiss the other end of the spectrum either), which is great as there's a need and a demand for all types. At any rate I am now intrigued by your Maus and Jimmy Corrigan.

I'm very familiar with Garth Ennis for two reasons. 1/. He's from Northern Ireland and 2/. Preacher is awesome. Stuff like Preacher and Hellblazer really isn't what I'd consider "superhero" stuff or mainstream comic books. Haven't checked out any of his Punisher stuff but I might do that soon.

I'm essentially using the term "alternative" to refer to comics that aren't published by DC or Marvel and/or don't invovle superheroes *cough*i.e. comics that don't suck*cough* :P

xaos

why'd you feel bad about finding it funny? Peter Bagge is great. Milk & Cheese on the other hand sucks and you shouldn't feel bad about hating it.

I read lot's of different comics, but superheroes are my favorites. The generalization that they "suck" is incredibly inaccurate. They explore worthwhile subject matter just as well as "alternative" comics do, and quite often more effectively. Just because the characters are often morally black and white does not mean that the scripting or presentation is as well. Second_Rook

well, I personally prefer comics (or more generally speaking, art) that are/is about and of real life. There are several superhero comics that I like - Batman is sometimes pretty interesting depending on the writer, I used to like X-men when I was younger and I still think Frank Miller's run on Daredevil was great. However, writing/illustating a superhero comic already limits what you can do and explore within the work. It's all pretty much prescribed. Thats why I prefer alternative comics or more generally speaking non-superhero stuff. When you publish your comics independently or work for a small publisher there's much more room to explore complex/controversial themes and subject matter and experiment and explore the medium.

Apart from stuff by the likes of Alan Moore and Frank Miller, I've never found any superhero comics that have come close to the likes of Art Spiegelman, Will Eisner or Chris Ware. I'm not being condescending, but if there are any superhero comics you believe approach or surpass the likes of Maus or Jimmy Corrigan then please suggest then.

pffft, this is the only video game movie we ever need.

Nothing racist about Mcdonalds wanting to celebrate the history of the African American culture. Nothing different than Italians, Jewish, Latin, Asian, Russians, or any other ethnic culture celebrating their own history. Only thing that is racist about this, is how some people look for something racist in every little thing. That racism.

You can not honestly believe that McDonalds are sincere about this. They're exploiting African-American culture if anything. That's what's disgusting about it.

As for people saying it's racist against white people... please stop.
