LEgo Star Wars was so crap sorry to say. The game play totally sucks. The latest Star Wars titles look rather badly done. Jedi Knight hopefully will get another sequel.  |I

It was funny but the fixed camara angles really sucked, and only 3 saber moves? Thumbs down.

I will get Revenge of the Sith soon, I want to play a demo first. Surprisingly enough I still play Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy, I've gained interest in moding so I've tried many cool conversions that are fun. One of the best games with the best game play eva.  :p

Episode III is kinda cool, LOTS of sabre moves so you'll like that, good graphics too but you basically follow the events of the movie. Would be good to have been its own game you know. But its good and it has 2 player story mode which is good so Deb and I can play together.

You'll have to wait till Thursday (May 5th) before its in the shops though   :p

Yes, looks like the force was with my delivery!!

Well it had to happen sometime... UMD has finally been cracked and so far Wipeout USA, Ridge Racers JAP and Darkstalkers JAP ISO's have been released on the net.

There's currently no way to play them yet but there has also been an app released which runs homebrew code off the PSP memory stick so its only a matter of time before they get the games running off it. Although UMD's can hold up to 1.8GB Wipeout is only 250MB so that would easily fit on a memory stick.

Its a shame that pirates have to ruin the fun I was looking forward to the homebrew scene on the PSP but I guess you cant have one without the other!

I was so angry when some people stole some Half-Life 2 playable code, it just ment us patient people have to wait even longer for them to re-build that code and change it. I was so angry when I heard the news.

Apparently they stole the code to prove that Valve hadnt nearly finished the game like they said they had.

So either they worked on it a year longer to finish it or they worked on it a year later to change it.

Probably both.

(Alias could you edit your sig? Its really wide and pushes the forum out making you have to scroll along to read a post, cheers.)

Dear Friends

#789 Post by Angelus3K » Tue May 10, 2005 1:21 pm

The "Dear Friends" Final Fantasy concerts got me thinking about the music in Final Fantasy.

One of the main reasons why I love FF is the music, its just amazing!!

So, what are your favourite tracks?

Here's a couple of mine:

Cosmo Canyon - FF7

Fighting - FF7

Prelude - FF7

Gold Saucer - FF7

Aerith's Theme - FF7

Jenova Absolute - FF7

Liberi Fatali - FF8

Don't Be Afraid - FF8

Find Your Way - FF8

SeeD - FF8

Waltz for the Moon - FF8

Where I Belong - FF8

Eyes On Me - FF8

The Place I'll Return to Someday - FF9

Mistaken Love - FF9

Battle I - FF9

Battle II - FF9

Zidane's Theme - FF9

The Airship Hilda Garde - FF9

Melodies of Life - FF9

Zanarkand - FF10

The Prelude - FF10

Tidus' Theme - FF10

Otherworld - FF10

Normal Battle - FF10

Blitzball - FF10

People of the North Pole - FF10

(There's really TOO MANY to mention for FFX so I'll leave it there.)

Intro Theme - FF10-2

(Still playing FFX-2)

Plus all the Victory Fanfare's, Chocobo music, Airship music, Battle music etc are great in all the games!

I've got the FF 1-11 Soundtrack so it'd interesting to see your choices then I can listen to them ;)

Heh-heh-heh...at the moment, I'm more concerned about the "More Friends" concert this coming Monday...the one I'll be attending.  Yes, it shall definitely be worth the trip.  I get to see The Black Mages live, attend a performance of The Dream Oath: Maria and Draco, hear Emiko Shiratori and RIKKI...

<drool>

Oh, and then I can check out possible grad schools in UCLA, Berkeley, and Stanford (I'm heading to San Fran the Wednesday after).  All in all, it shall rock!

So, anybody else heading to LA next week for More Friends and/or E3?

Oh, and Angelus, in case you heven't heard, CDs of both Dear Friends and More Friends will be released and all FF OSTs (I through XI and a few extras) are now purchasable through iTunes...all I have to say is it's about freaking time!

Yea I heard about the iTunes thing, but I already have I - XI on MP3 but the Dear Friends CD's I'll definetly have to get!!

Speaking of E3 it should be amazing! The Xbox 360 specs have already been leaked but there's still plenty of PS3 and Revolution to go around!!

Actually, we'll all be going to LA, but since I wouldn't even have been in the US if I hadn't extended my stay there, it wasn't possible to arrange tickets for me. It'll be cool to hear AGD1 and AGD2's stories.
