I can't wait for this, but wish it was on the PC because, as all Sims fans know, the Sims/PC community is huge and the amount of downloadable content is mind blowing.

An Invaders film could be so damn cool, but it would absolutely have to have Cap!

Anyone have any info on this new Sims game? All I know is that it's the Sims (with new graphics) set in an urban environment, and it will be for all three consoles -- but not the PC -- and is slated for a Q3 2004 release. Here's one of the characters.

Here's the only one that impresses me.

Advance Wars x 1000! I've yet to play AW2, but I heard that, as good as it is, it's just more of the same.

Agreed. It wasn't until I tried it the other day that I finally did it! Now I can do it with some ease, but it's still a small pain in the ass.

You've never heard of the Minus/Negative World...? At the end of Level 1-2 if you jump just right you can slide through the pipe/wall and end up in an infinitely looping water world. But this guy proposes that it does have an end and you get to meet the original boss -- which wasn't Bowser.

Word has it that The Rock might star as Namor in the upcoming Sub-Mariner film.

Do you mean the bite in the lab, or all the event surrounding/leading up to him becoming a hero?

Yup.

HINT: The Goblin threw her off the bridge, but he's not the one who killed her.

Wrong!

Who killed Gwen Stacy?

You know, I might still have mine... but after my column on cheating, I don't think I can justify using it.

Okay, here's an update on the situation. I was finally able reach the Minus World and when I found the pipe I went through the wall (as Fire Flower Mario), but I got stuck at the edge of the screen and died when time ran out. I tried it again as regular (RE: small) Mario several times now, but haven't been able to go through the wall again.

Blink, and Sabertooth raised her.

:rockon:

You bet.

Okay... uh... who turned Nathaniel Essex into Mr. Sinister?

Oddly enough, I swear I've seen someone go through that wall (above the pipe), but I don't remember the King Goomba.

While researching a column, I stumbled upon a page that suggests there's a second Minus World. (You all know about the Minus World in Super Mario Bros., right?) Here's the link with his proof. Take it for what it's worth, but if anyone can confirm his findings please let me know. A Second Level to the Minus World <---------- link I've never been able to successfully reach the Minus World, but I have seen it and played it (thanks to a friend).

I really want to buy Crimson Skies and Links 2004 for the Xbox, Ultimate Muscle for the GameCube, Mario & Luigi for the GBA, and dozens of other titles... but haven't. It's not the money -- if I really want something I'll go out and buy it -- it's the simple fact that I have tons of other games I've yet to play. For instance, I bought Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Beyond Good & Evil, and Civilization III all about the same time, yet I haven't played them once! So how can I justify to myself buying another game when I have perfectly good ones sitting unopened on my shelf? So, with that said, what games (or peripherals) have you been meaning to buy but haven't? And why not?

I think a certain amount of respect will be brought to the project. Unlike LXG, this is a comic that's loved by millions of people -- even non-comic book readers. They (hopefully) understand this, and will be as true to the source material as possible. Granted the chapter breaks will have to go, but that's the price we, as fans, pay when our favorite comics are brought to the screen. We have to understand that certain bits have to be cut for time or the form. It'll be good.

David Hayter (writer of both X-Men films, and voice of Solid Snake) has gone on the record to report that Darren Aronofsky (Requiem for a Dream) will direct Watchmen!

You know, I've never understood that mentality. Why do games have to be exclusive to one system? I understand first-party titles (RE: Mario, Zelda, Halo, Ico), but what's it matter if a certain Capcom game is ported to another system?
