IMDB.com have added Oldman as Gordon. Is it me or, for a prequel film at least, is Oldman too much of an old man (oh the hilarity!) for the role? Hingle was too old for the role in the last 4 films IMO.

I've seen both and found that I enjoyed the many Mario series better than Sonic. Maybe it was my Nintendo roots, maybe it was the fact that Sonic was a cocky prick. There've been others - most notably Pokemon & even a Zelda cartoon way back in the day - but Mario v Sonic has always been the greatest computer character battle.

And to think some people have the nerve to say Nintendo's games are too childish for them! So what if the GC doesn't rely on shooters to sell? Damn right. If you can't shoot your way through a level, it's a kids game So ALL Zelda games are for kids? Games like Civilisation for the PC are primarily for kids? Sports games, etc? (I can never tell when CH is being sarcastic ) Ha, I'm always sarcastic. You know my undying love for the Gamecube anyway. That's true! My problem is that I'm easily fooled....

We have the clown prince of crime pitted against the no nonsense leader of the X-men Place: Warehouse in a neutral city Conditions: Normal

That's right, Bruce gets someone else to make his batarangs and other gear, and yet they never work out why Bruce might want them...... More a dig at the logic that Bruce can't invent as opposed to whether it's factually true. I meant WayneTech and Wayne Enterprises don't make lethal weapons because Bruce won't let them -- because of how his parents died. When it comes to Batman's gear I always assumed he made it himself, but you're saying he doesn't. Have they ever mentioned who makes his stuff? I know there was an episode of the cartoon where Penguin figured out who made the Batmobile, but that's cartoon continuity and not comic so it doesn't count. Ah right. No, I too was implying that Bruce probably did as well though I don't know for sure either. And yes, I remember that episode, though I've read somewhere that Alfred acted as mechanic.

My apologies

Is what I've heard true and that they are going to/ have released a new Banjo - Kazooie game for Xbox? I loved the Banjo series but I can't help feeling that it's one of those series that will run out of steam quickly if it doesn't re-invent itself.

Damn right. Seconded, but Xbox need to have ONE flagship game that they can get excited about even if it doesn't live up to its hype.

True, but none of Mario's powers prevented death from that. Yeah, it was your own damn fault!

Convince them to make a Online SSBM and I'll gladly face you, or any other Forum member who wants to. Prepare to die. Strong words for someone who fights as Zelda! Perhaps if everyone picked one fighter that they'd be if we all had a big internet battle; ie/ ONE Samus, Falcon, Link etc. Thus, I "shot-gun" Link, a Leicester expression that means "pick".

I was like that with SD: HCTP, but I stuck to my principles. Good on you if you choose not to, but I'll be more than happy to welcome you to the Nintendo family if you do!

24 would make for an awesome comic, however flipping through 22 pages in less than 10 minutes isn't the same as watching the show in one-hour blocks. And if you take the real time element away from 24, it loses its specialness. Maybe so - as someone who's never got into it (ie/ never been in for the first episode of the series and not bothering from there) I've never understood how real time works given the ad breaks. Was Buffy ever a comic?

uh... WTF!? My thoughts exactly. Then again, Catwoman's origin in Batman Returns was pretty lame too -- she fell to her apparent death and was licked by ally cats. Still, at least Batan Returns has some kind of appeal to comic fans and casual movie watchers.

I get the impression that 24 would work as a comic - you could put the time in the superscript boxes (what's the proper name?) and have each hour be it's own issue.

I love this show - it's especially great that Kevin Conroy got on board to provide Batman's vocals once more to give the show more authority. It's also opened my eyes to every DC superhero who isn't Bats, Superman or Wonderwoman. And having Mark Hamil's Joker make regular appearences is godly too.

Darn tootin' As for things on the list, I'll say invincible, just because you could speed through any level with Bullet Bill and not care in the slightest. Never truly got the hang of flying when replaying the game years after completing it....

Old School Yoshi, just because Yoshi's Island is a truly classic game. That said, I'm a fan of the Yoshi suit too.

Yeah. In fact, the Zelda series was also made into a cartoon show, where Ganon was always bestial and Link was like a teenager, with the annoying catchphrase: "Well ex-cuse me, princess!" Back on topic, if you can get away from the fact that the characters in SF have been horribly changed, parts of it are pretty good - Bison always had the best lines and Ryu & Ken were an entertaining enough double act. But it was still a bad movie on the whole.

And, to go against normal protocol, I will hack you to pieces as Link. Your Triforce won't save you now! That came across as awfully geeky.....

Not according to the THQ marketing department. I know that I'd be uncomfortable if caught playing such a match - heck, women's matches on their own made me feel ashamed if my parents walked in.

That made me laugh out loud, as it's known. If it was the first meeting and Buffy didn't get the opportunity to run away and regroup, then Blade. If she does, Blade would have quite a fight on his hands, which I doubt he'd be able to overcome.

You are the luckiest man I know. No, I just know crap when I see it. And by "see it" I mean the previews. I wish I had your sticking power. I'm always drawn to a video game movie by a morbid curiosity, which ALWAYS disappoints! Luckily, I only take the opportunity if it presents itself! Actually, I'm quite tempted to see Super Mario Brothers again to pinpoint WHY I hated it when it first came out. Only common sense is holding me back!
