Keef - this one's for you


No More Heroes


I haven't watched THIS one yet because work blocks it but his reviews are always funny and almost certainly very insulting to the games you and I love...


Thanks to MockneyPiers for introducing me to these reviews as well

Hi everyone - first time poster so sorry if I've missed any discusssion on the subject , but are there any Final Fantasy fans on here?


I started with VII but have been looking at the re-released earlier titles on DS and PSP and wondering if they are any good?

Thanks LizzyGotDizzy!


I was looking forward to the 360 games from the FF creator but was very disappointed with the first one (Blue something?) although I gather Lost Odyssey is much better


(and the name: best villain in a game ever? The name is usually already taken on other forums so I'm glad to be able to use it!)

Have to say VII one of my all time favourites, though the one where you had to raise your own chocaboos and the chocaboo racing arena was fun too! I haven't played any in ages though my kids have and have had the PS2 ones which do have beautiful graphics but I just can't seem to get into those ones, Tidus and all those characters. You might like Legend of Legaia if you are into these or Dragon Quest, (the later ones) but still they don't touch FF!

VII definitely my favourite

VIII - didn't like the characters or the levelling up of the enemies. Or the Draw system. Some nice technical advances I thought

IX - Didn't get on with it at all. Lot's of fans say they like the return to old style. I found it a bit twee

X - underrated in my book. Finished this one with 150 hrs on the clock

XI - online. Had a go.... deleted immediately

XII - classic. Some great updates to the battles and some good characters. I wouldn't include the lead in that category


Is there one on PS3? I know one is promised but not aware of it any time soon

Never done an FF, my young step brother loves them though.

I watched the film once, had noooooo idea what all that was about.


Mind you, I watched Geeks favourite Serenity on Saturday and gave up about half way through; terrible editing, it made even less sense than the FF film!!

I'm guessing you need to have watched the series.

I saw the original FF film and thought it was nothing like the games in terms of atmosphere or setting. Pretty poor, I haven't seen Advent Children but have heard much better things


I enjoyed Serenity despite not having seen any of the series. It did seem bound by budget considerations however.


Mario Kart hasn't been gathering very good reviews - from either the high-end specialist press (Edge) or the rest. It is probably still monumentally good fun in the short term but I don't have a Wii so can't pass judgement really

RE: FF, I have spent many hours of my life watching a friend playing them, and I have to admit I found them more entertaining to watch whilst sitting and smoking fags / drinking beer to actually play. I am more a fan of the Zelda type fantasy RPGs.


RE: Mario Kart, not played it myself yet, but my friend got it last week, and describes it as f**king sick... He is Australian, and this is high praise indeed. Apparently the battles are amazing, and it has a retro section where you can unlock classic tracks and battles. He gives it a big thumbs up, so I think I shall treat myself when I have finished a couple of games.

Ah, Zelda. Barren are the years between new releases...although, The Twilight Princess lacked a certain something. Dont get me wrong it was great in parts but...I dunno, t'was lacking something. As for FF, I made the mistake of playing The Crystal Chronicles on The Gamecube and quite frankly it stank the place out. I've run in fear from all other FF games since. Shame.

I'm not sure TP was missing something, I think we may have just played the same game once too often. It's lovely but beginning to get a tad jaded, like oooh, I dunno, Felicity Kendall.


Though, yeah, it did steer you more towards the linear adventure than some pervious, with less pointless (but fun) side stuff to do.

Same goes for the DS one, though still a joy to play.

    • Another recommendation - excellent, fast work. 
    • I appealed against a fine issued by Southwark, and won. The adjudicator was businesslike, but also mentioned that several cases had come to him caught out by the same confusing signage.    Is there any other parking that could reasonably have been used? Does the shop advise where to park?  It sounds as though the time in the bay was a reasonable use. Even if you lose, I doubt that Southwark can increase the original charge. If you are going to appeal, don't delay. Take pictures of the scene if you think that might help, also provide the weight of the goods if that supports your case.
    • Thanks - an overnight stay,  a drip and painkillers seems to have done its work!
    • Depends on who can afford to purchase or lease it and what The Dulwich Estate, Stonegate and Southwark Council will allow to be built or operate on the site. Whatever it is, it needs to attract footfall for itself and businesses around it. The question to ask is what does that part of Dulwich need, that is not within the locality, which will attract custom and footfall, that the site can accommodate and that can offer parking which it already has available. In between Cox's Walk, Dulwich Village, Dulwich College and the park, some sort of establishment that sells drinks and meals. Bit then I'm just chucking ideas around, or maybe someone, Dean, has some radical idea's to take it in a totally different direction.    Whatever it becomes it has to be better than the rotting site and eyesore it currently is. Good luck to anyone who takes on the project to redevelop the former Grove Tavern.
