Something tells me this contest isn't very hard to win. At all. I'll give Haruka's the merit of it looking really crisp, but some of the others just look like total crap.

Thanks Rayfan, but there are winner photos that I actually like.

EDIT: The mailman knocked my door today, I won the second prize! :D

Congratulations!
I remember seeing this DS holder in a local Gamestation store, sadly, it's closed down now.

I've also seen this statue in the FNAC store I've visited during my stay in the south of France most of the month of July, it wasn't quite cheap by the way. :oops2:

Thanks Master! I really like it!

This is probably a little late but, did any one noticed the recent update in Super Smash Bros Flash 2?

Gameplay footage was released for Wii Party U. It looks fun but I refuse to let myself get sucked in again. I know everybody loved Wii Party, but in my opinion it was just plain bad.

I'll personally have to pass on that, I didn't hear much good about Wii party (but this was only from Gameinformer) I hadn't heard what other sources had to say.
A new Mario Kart, new 3d platformer Mario, and a new Zelda, was enough to get me hyped up. :)

I expected more from Wii Party. The first board is basically Mario Party. The minigames are meh, and you're done in about 20 - 30 minutes. The second board is confusing and incredibly slow paced. The third board, well, there is no third. There's two or three minigame battle modes, and those are pretty cool, but no other boards. So make your choice: 20 minutes of Mario Party or boredom. The final presentation does not deserve the full price of a Wii game.

At least there are editions carrying a Wii Remote.

I would personally go with the Mario Parties. Its awesome to play this with friends.

I played Wii Party over at a friend's house at one time. My impressions varied from plain terrible to meh..., it doesn't look like Wii Party U is going to be any better. That game where players stretched their fingers to hit buttons on the Gamepad and Remote simultaneously looked awful, I just can't picture how any of this will be fun. It's rather appealing to the casual gamer though I assume. I've now been soaking in information on an old cancelled game that I didn't know even exsisted. May I share with you, RareWare's Dinosuar Planet. This was later re-tooled into the Gamecube title Starfox Adventures. I recently picked up a copy but haven't gotten a chance to try it out yet. This looked so much better though.


Man, I wish Rare was still a partner of Nintendo, now all we've seen of output from them is Kinect Sports, most of the original team who worked on this, the Banjo games, and Conker's Bad Fur Day have left the company now. Perhaps they should band together to form another Developer and make some more Rare magic. :cry:

I learned about this long ago! It's quite interesting actually, shame Starfox adventures wasn't too special compared to the others.

I don't think Rare's people stayed after the company was sold to Microsoft (Wonder what went wrong? Giving your ideas to a company that barely understands what gaming even is seems to have been purely to earn a bit of money) and the rest was a pile of shit. Let Nuts & Bolts be an example of a bad game.

I feel like such an ass too, I NEVER completed Banjo-Kazooie and Tooie even though I own it, which is known to be by some, one of the BEST adventure games of all time. Nuts & Bolts was just awful though, I'm staying FAR away from it.
My favorite Rareware title of all time: Hard for me to decide between Donkey Kong Country 2 or Conkers Bad Fur day, my god they were awesome.

These multiplayer attractions seem to be really fun in big groups. I can't wait for Clara to visit me in the next months, in order to play these three together! :D

Do you have any other friends you could perhaps play it with while waiting for Claras arrival? I invited my bud Chris over to play them with me and they're great! Probably the best attractions if I may add. :)
