I've had an EBGames giftcard burning in my pocket for the last week. I intented to purchase Metroid Prime Trilogy, and made a huge mistake of not buying it when I was in the store without my card. The store clerk told me it was discontinued? Bullocks! The game came out a couple of weeks ago.

All of the games I really wanted, like Okami, (I've been playing Zelda Twilight Princess, and I wanted to purchase another fantasy action adventure) where out. I really didn't want to use my gift card for a Modern Warfare Reflex pre-order, so I hesitantly purchased Castlevania Judgment.

IGN's review of 7.5 is what sold me on the purchase, even though most reviews are very low and there is allot hatred from the Castlevania community. I've been a big fan of this series from playing it on GBA and the DS, and this being the first (hopefully not the last) Castlevania title for the Wii.

I think the badness of this game is exagerrated and I would say it's an average game to slighy above average. The retail price should be more like 29.99 than 49.99. I didn't read the manual regarding the controls and started playing the controller like an old-school fighting game. I was thinking there are soft and hard punches and kicks, but the buttons don't work like that. I won't bother trying it with the Wiimote and just play it with the ****c controller. The Castle mode is fun, where you have different objectives by advancing in different rooms. All in all, I don't regret buying this game (unlike The Conduit) and it turns out it's fun, although it's far from Castlevania canon. I'm hoping to write a more formal review on it. What do you think? Love it? Hate it?

Does Level and Rank on Gamespot mean anything?

Well double XP weekend is almost over and I've leveled up to 65 on Call of Duty: World at War for the Wii. It was on level 61 before playing this weekend, but it didn't take long to make it to 65. I don't think I am going to prestige because Modern Warfare is going to be coming out in November. I'm probably not going to be playing WaW that much after MW is released, and I don't feel like grinding it back to 65 for all the good weapons and perks. I hope there is going to be DLC for MW, now that GH5 for the Wii is the first game to store it on the SDHC card.

What's the deal with trying to change your Profile Image or Banner Image on this site? I've tried to upload files several times and it does nothing. Yes, I'm aware of the size and dimensions of the picture. The quirkiness of changing your pics reminds me of the same problems Twitter used to have. What a pain just do such a simple thing, has anyone else noticed this?

I just got Metroid Zero Mission today from an eBay auction. I was bored with my DS and started playing Final Fantasy VI I purchased last year. Final Fantasy VI is the best one from the 8 to 16 bit era. It's so much better than V. Now I don't know which game to play?

I've had Metroid fever lately and I'm thinking about buying a GBC on eBay and buying the cart to play this game. I don't like emulators, it's cheap enough to buy the original system and game. I wonder if it's worth buying a GBC just for this one game? I don't want to waste the effort and money if it's not a "must own" game.
