The Kane and Lynch trailer got a friend of mine, even after I told him about all of the negative feedback the game was getting from players!... HAHAHA!
Awesome! I loved the Rumble Roses bit! :) Fire Pro will always be my favourite! I remember rockin it on the GBA FINALLY after reading about the series in import magazines for years. Finally playing Fire Pro D is one of my favourite videogame memories of all time! Going through the Kings Road mode and hitting all the different promotions with your selected wrestler or team was amazing! I never got sick of the Vader/Don Frye/Kenta Kobashi/Toshiaki Kawada team and the non-stop stream of CRITICAL!s that would follow! :) The AKI, N64 games are second overall for me. GIant Gram and King of Colosseum were also a lot of fun. Giant Gram 2000 was such an awesome game, I'm really surprised Sega never did anything more with the GG engine, it was really unique, and it was SO rewarding pulling off your ultimate finisher only with perfect timing and the right lead-up of moves (Misawa's Tiger Driver '91 or the Emerald Frosion!)! Oh Dreamcast, you were so awesome :( I'm not a fan of the SD vs Raw games, and haven't followed the soap opera for years now, but I'm holding out hope that there will be a game developer with the cojones to put out a great wrestling game with no-name wrestlers some day...
In the last comparison screen, the picture of Kratos from GoWII looks like Tito Ortiz! Yeah, Chains of Olympus is really impressive. This feature focuses on the look of the game, but it really needs to be said that the controls have not suffered one bit moving from the familiar and solid format used in the PS2 games to the PSP! Ready at Dawn really did an amazing job with this game from top to bottom, and thankfully didn't just use the series' name as a shameless, poorly made money grab like some others do when they make games for multi-platform distribution. Nice work, I'm loving the game so far!
Pretty pictures. I'm glad GoW 2 is still just as amazing as GoW in the GAMEPLAY area, the only area that really matters. I'm blown away by this game, it's such a blast! I don't really remember the last time I got so excited about getting the chance to get home and start playing a game again like this one (maybe GTA 3 when it came out... EA and Capcom need to learn a lesson from the GoW developers! MAKE GAMES FUN AGAIN!)! :)
Just.... Wow. That's a lot of dosh, yo. Looks like Sony is forefiting the "Console War" in the UK, unless at that price the console comes with a new Honda.
