oh ok, I was going to say I'd have to buy a PS3 just for that.

EDIT: I was playing through Gabriel Knight 1 and it's actually really really well done... untill Gabriel or the narrater opens their stupid mouths. The voices aren't badly acted out it's just that Gabriel sounds like a red neck texan with down syndrome and the narrater although fitting for the setting can be a annoyance after a little bit "De Clock sayz five turrrrrdy" Other than that though it's good even if some of the puzzles are next to impossible without a walkthrough. Like honestly how was I supposed to know how to work the clock in Gran's house?

The hints are there in the game. You just have to look for recurring imagery throughout all of the experiences of the Knight family. There's a book in Gabriel's shop that has the critical clue.

I noticed the history of Gabriels father and Grand father are like exactly the same though. Very difficult I think but very fun if you can get by the voices. I seem to have run into a problem though. My game crashed and won't run anymore. It says it's not installed and I'm afraid that reinstalling will make me lose my save.

well now it's running but my desktop shortcut still tells me kernel error and my sierraw application gives the small box saying windows title not found so I ran it on dos with dos box and it works fine but when the speech is turned on it skips all teh dialogue.

Chronotrigger....I never can decide who to leave behind at the End of Time first....Marle sucks ....Robo sucks...who sucks most....that is the question...

Quest For Glory Fan · #1181 Post by **Quest For Glory Fan** » Tue Mar 28, 2006 3:10 pm

Robo by far. Marle can alteast Aura and make Aura whirl.

I just uninstalled GK and reinstalled it but I still get the kernel error.

Spikey · #1182 Post by **Spikey** » Wed Mar 29, 2006 12:04 am

Yeah but Robo has pseudo dark magic.

Quest For Glory Fan · #1183 Post by **Quest For Glory Fan** » Wed Mar 29, 2006 12:10 am

when do you ever need that? maybe the magus fight but then you'd have no ice OR healing and by that time you can get rid of Lucca anyways. I never really did like her but she's apparently like the strongest charachter in the game. After getting Tabans gun and armor I can see it but if I haven't used her up to then than she has no techs. but back on topic Marle has way cooler dual and tri techs than Robo.

Brainiac · #1184 Post by **Brainiac** » Wed Mar 29, 2006 4:22 pm

Since you're talking about your first arrival at the End of Time, obviously your characters are at low levels (presuming you're not playing a New Game+, Spikey). So before I give you my opinion, I need to know one thing: what is the highest Single Tech currently known by Marle and Robo?

Quest For Glory Fan · #1185 Post by **Quest For Glory Fan** » Wed Mar 29, 2006 10:29 pm

it should be 2 I believe. Untill you talk to Speccio. Basically the person with the highest one goes on. Or lowest if you need to boost themif you think they're in your final party. Robo does not get capped at 2 like Marle does I believe.

Spikey · #1186 Post by **Spikey** » Wed Mar 29, 2006 11:32 pm

Never mind. Decided to stick with Marle for a while. She's hawt.

Quest For Glory Fan · #1187 Post by **Quest For Glory Fan** » Thu Mar 30, 2006 12:31 am

never knew you had a thing for light blue. ALthough now that I think about it it goes well to her Element. Whoa all the characters look like that! Go Akira Toriyama!

This could almost make me get a DS Lite!!

Got Gabriel Knight 2 in the mail today and I'm going to say I definetly like Sins of the father more so far but I don't know. The interactive movie thing is neat but the video quality is atrocius and Gabriel looks like he was pasted into the gameplay and stands like a retard leaning 20 degrees over. but alas we shall see the plot soon enough and I remain confident that it will override what I've seen.

Nintendo have just released the final name of the Revolution - Wii.

I quite like the name, although I do know quite a few don't.

Nintendo have a site on it - http://revolution.nintendo.com/ - but since their site is pretty heavily loaded right now, I've put up a mirror on the Nintendo site I'm running with a friend.

Angelus3K · #1191 Post by **Angelus3K** » Thu Apr 27, 2006 8:55 pm

Yea, read this when I was at work but couldnt post it as this site is blocked lol.

I don't like the name, I mean it just conotates urine in english speaking countries.

I'm sure it will grow on people though. But I'm stilll going to get a Rev and a PS3 ;)

Vroomfondel · #1192 Post by **Vroomfondel** » Fri Apr 28, 2006 1:52 am

Hmm, this name leaves me feeling slightly disappointed, but in my experience, it is best not to question the judgment of the game geniouses at Nintendo. Besides, just about eveyone will still probably call it the Revolution.

MusicallyInspired · #1193 Post by **MusicallyInspired** » Fri Apr 28, 2006 7:45 am

What exactly does Wii mean?? Revolution was way better. Should have named it that. Oh well.

Introducing... Wii.

As in "we."

While the code-name Revolution expressed our direction, Wii represents the answer. Wii will break down that wall that seperates videogame players from everybody else. Wii will put people more in touch with their games... and each other. But you're probably asking: What does the name mean?

Wii sounds like "we," which emphasizes the console is for everyone. Wii can easily be remembered by people around the world, no matter what language they speak. No confusion. No need to abbreviate. Just Wii.

Wii has a distinctive "ii" spelling that symbolizes both the unique controllers and the image of people playing it. And Wii, as a name and a console, brings something revolutionary to the world of videogames that sets it apart from the crowd.

So that's Wii. But now Nintendo needs you. Because it's really not about you or me. It's about Wii. And together, Wii will change everything.

that's incredibly well written. Wii like it verymuch.

Angelus3K · #1196 Post by **Angelus3K** » Mon May 01, 2006 7:24 am

Can't belive I forgot to mention this, it happen about a week or so ago

George Harrison, Senior Vice President of Sales and Corporate Communications at Nintendo of America has revealed in an interview with Game Informer that the Revolution will have a worldwide launch similar to that of the 360 in Novemeber!
I really didnt think Rev would make it to the UK this year!!

Whoohoo 2 new console to play on this November!

ALSO

New revolution secret has been revealed!!

The nunchuck add on is also capable of the pointing device ability that the remote has!

Just think of controlling Link's sword in one hand and shield in the other!!

Sauce (Mmmm)

Vroomfondel · #1197 Post by **Vroomfondel** » Mon May 01, 2006 9:00 pm

Apparently the controller add-on can also be utilized in Red Steel, although I'm not sure of the function it'll perform.

Angelus3K · #1198 Post by **Angelus3K** » Tue May 02, 2006 6:12 am

If you think about it the analouge stick on the nunchuck will most likely move the character.

Angelus3K · #1199 Post by **Angelus3K** » Wed May 10, 2006 6:12 am

Well the conferences are over! Much has been revelead and some not.

Best to check out IGN or similar game site for all news.

Sony conference showed quite a few games for PS3 including an E3 version of GT entitled Gran Turismo HD, MGS4, Tekken 6, Ridge Racer 7, Genji 2, Heavenly Sword to name a few.

Quite a lot of which were playable.

Sony announced the PS3 is available 11/11 in Japan and 17/11 in Europe, Australaisa and the US.

The 20GB version will be $499/Â£430 and a 60GB version for $599/Â£400

So very expensive but I'm sure alot of people will still buy it.

Also announced was that the boomerang controller is out and a standard dualshock is in (Yay!!) minus the rumble feature but plus motion sensor abilities.

Nintendo's conferernce was disapointing in comparison, whislt Super Mario Galaxy, Red Steel and Twilight Princess were shown, no price or release date was mentioned.

The Wii-mote was announced to have a speaker built into it and seperate versions of Zelda for GC and Rev were announced to launch with the Rev.

A few new games were announced such as Excite Truck which looked pretty cool.

Havnt watched the MS conference but I hear Halo 3 trailer was shown and GTA IV was announced for PS3 and 360.

Vroomfondel · #1200 Post by **Vroomfondel** » Wed May 10, 2006 9:38 pm

I can't believe that Sony's getting away with their controller rip-off! It's wireless and has a motion sensor! Wow! Guess what?! Nintendo had it waaay before you!
