Re: All Things Yakuza

Surely if you love the series that much you'd want to play all the games in it regardless of platform? I would anyway. I'm looking forward to getting a Vita to catch up with a lot of PSP stuff I missed out on.

As regards to Yakuza I'm going to get the HD versions of 1 & 2 and start from there.

Re: Zelda

It's decent - one of three good Zelda games made by Capcom. It's not up there with LTTP, LADX, OOT etc. for me though I must say.

Re: Zelda

Fantastic. There are a raft of Wii games beyond Nintendo first party stuff worth investigation as well - so you have a bargain there.

Re: Game Capture/Recording

Just in case some of you aren't aware, we have a Cane & Rinse youtube channel featuring a ton of Quick Rinse videos played, captured and commentated on by our own Josh and the two Darrens, Gargette and Forman: http://www.youtube.com/user/caneandrinse

Re: Zelda

Although I've completed Wind Waker but not Majora's Mask, I think I prefer the latter's darker tone. Also Wind Waker is unfinished (missing several dungeons). That said, it's still better than 95% of videogames and a 3DS remake could be stunning - especially if they reinstated the abandoned levels!

Re: Zelda

I agree with all of the above. Link to the Past was my first and I think best Zelda experience but there's a lot to like about many of its successors. I would busy myself with 3DS Ocarina (which also features the remixed Master Quest) and hope for a Majora's Mask announcement in the meantime.

Re: Deadly Premonition (Red Seeds Profile)

How odd, about Lost Odyssey. I expect this is something to do with Microsoft cutting costs!

But yeah, to me 'Deadly Premonition' sounds like a totally generic, trashy horror when the game is anything but. Red Seeds Profile is intriguing as is the game. Like, what the 'heck does that mean'?

The Unfinished Swan

Out now for PS+ subscribers I immediately bought and downloaded this upon arriving home from work yesterday. However - true to form (see my 'Pile of Shame' and forthcoming podcast schedule) it will no doubt be a while before I get to actually playing it. Still, in the meantime I'd love to hear all a...

Re: Game Suggestions for the Podcast

Monkey Island (maybe just 1+2, or the Telltale one?) I would love to do the original brace of games (the only two which I consider to be 'true' Monkey Island) and they've been on the list since day one but currently we only have me and Karl on the team who are ready and willing to do them. It would...

Technically impressive, cutting edge, no doubt. "Beautiful" though, not for me. Artistically or subjectively.

Re: Deadly Premonition (Red Seeds Profile)

Don't know, but it's the game's actual (English) title and refers to the story rather than the glib, meaningless Western variation so I approve.

Re: FIFA 13

FUT is far from my favourite mode but every year I dabble and enjoy. I've never spent real money on packs, it's entirely possible to build great squads without doing so.
