This may have something to do with it: Too many times... I must say after going over all of that, I definitely haven't laughed that hard in a loooong time!

I enjoyed the scene in TKK 2, that had Mr. Miyagi going into Mr. Silva's dojo and cleaning house with Mr. Silva and the dude from the (lol) Cobra-Kai dojo...

Well what about that other game that SNK has been working on, Neo Geo Battle Coliseum? Is that even out yet? I'm glad that Mai's in that one. I only wish that Mai's rendering looked like Capcom's version of her-that was too hot for t.v. Also, I'm glad to see characters like Cyber Woo from King of the Monsters in that game, as that will no doubt prove interesting...

Not at all. If it's an issue of graphical quality I don't see much of a difference between 2 versions of 1 game I've personally sampled, Need for Speed Most Wanted. Obviously the 360 looks better but I wouldn't call it next-gen. Sound is what it is, as both boxes have digital out so there won't be much difference there. Performance wise I'd have to say it's a little shameful for the 360, in that playing NFS and Project Gotham 3 occasionally had graphical hiccups that I don't attribute to hardware problems, rather rushed new games on a new console. To confirm that, official game reviewers have witnessed the same glitches...

All of the Best Buys did that, which is why I didn't camp out in front of one. I didn't want to buy the system and then $400 worth of stuff I didn't want or need. I believe Circuit City and other electronic stores did the same thing, selling their systems in bundles only, although I don't think they made the mistake of advertising the system at its Core and Premium price levels. Best Buy really does blow...

Well, I wasn't entirely honest about ignoring Noir, as I have the first 3 volumes somewhere. When it first came out, naturally I was drawn to the idea of a hot chick in a mini skirt traveling around the world killing people, unfortunately that's all I ever saw in those first 3 volumes. They get a note or a message, they go somewhere, Les Soldats sets a trap for them with hundreds of guys bearing nasty weapons (not unlike the DOA trailer), Mireille and Kirika pull out their little pistols and kill everything in sight without so much as missing a shot. Bo-ring... Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed Noir to a degree as I even have Yamato's statue of Mireille, but the whole girls, guns, swords, hereos thing is just silly to me.

Another point to bring up is that the entire "girls and guns" or "girls as heroes" concept is getting really old and ridiculous. I feel this way about live action and animated works, which is why I never bothered to watch Tomb-Raider, Charlie's Angels, Noir, Burst Angel, etc. -To quote a legendary pilot from a dubbed anime: "Fighting? Don't be ridiculous-a woman is for LOVE, not for fighting!"

Does anyone have their console vertically oriented? Unlike the PS2, any disc that you place on the 360's tray goes on the right-handed, outer-side of the tray when the console sits vertically; it's a little odd and I find myself having to reach around the tray to place the disc properly...Just a minor gripe...

Looks like a civil war to me. I've only played through the game twice (the game is so horribly designed it was unbearable for me), and had no idea what was going on. The fact that at some point you have to choose between 2 apparent sides supports my notion of a civil war.

I wouldn't say it's bad enough to call it a flaw or condemn the toy. When you take into consideration the improved, lower profile of the fighter mode in addition to the fast paks and mandatory gunpods, the toy is a marked improvement over the first incarnation. Fiddle with it and I'm sure you can minimize the arched back...

You know I didn't think of him as an 'eco guy-now all of those movies he came out with after his glory days make sense to me...

Well, then she's an unlockable, or maybe she's turned into a Rugal-type boss character? Oh I know...Notice how Andy Bogard's not in there either? I think those two finally decided to tie the knot...Come to think of it, Joe Higashi isn't in there along with some other classic fighters. Hmmm....

I thought that the arched back problem was common among the '21s...

I can't see why they wouldn't reissue that particular model, considering that Roy got what, 4 releases?

WHAT?! There's no Mai?! That's impossible! When anyone thinks KOF or SNK for that matter, doesn't her bounciness "spring" to mind first? I would hope that they have a suitable replacement for her, at least. -No scratch that, there is no replacement for her...

That's right, the series literally went into the sewer....

"I'll keep a part of you with me-and everywhere I go there you'll be........"

What I can't understand is why Segal would agree to a role that didn't prominently feature him and his matching ego. At the time of that movie, he was still rather popular so it's not as if he was hungry for screen time or anything...

They're working on the gold foil.... Regardless, I want one also. I just have to see what the "masterpiece" treatment will do for good 'ol Voltron...

She's cute, huh? I was hoping you guys could tell me-I was just googling for naked girls and found her.... Anyway, I take it then that DOA was not available at launch then? I knew that guy in front of me was full of it-how can there be only 1 copy of a game available at opening?

Super Mario Brothers........OMFG, I forgot about that tradgedy...

Oh great. A story about some deck swabber on a doomed ship and some geisha girl cooking rice back home. This sounds so hot, I'm sure that movies like Mr. and Mrs. Smith will be blown away by the searing passion that exists in a story about a long-distance relationship...

The main difference there however, is that KOF will be an animated work. The characters will look like they're supposed to, the story will stay true to the KOF universe, and any hokiness can and will be written off as anime magic or influence. In regards to the DOA movie, I couldn't figure out what the inspiration or the direction for that pile is. I just......don't.....get it....

They need to have a running shoe version!
