Picked up Amplitude and Ace Combat Zero at the weekend. Both pretty good, but the real bargain of the week was the underrated Fantavision; £3 from Gamestation :)

Rurouni Kenshin. As good shonen action as there is, really. Samurai action and stuff, bit of comedy, bit of romance, cool characters. Just don't watch after ep62. The fillers begin, and the series ends before it gets back to the manga storyline.

I've always got a dozen games on the go, but the ones I've been playing most recently are Zelda: Wind Waker, SD Gundam G Generation DS, Ouendan and Skies of Arcadia Legends. Also play Street Fighter Alpha 3 with the guys at work a lot, and just picked up Fantavision, which is brilliantly...

We need to get a stickied thread with a list of all the comic shops in the London area, both the big ones and the little-known indie ones. It'd certainly come in handy when planning hunting trips into central.

Questionable postings aside, Area 88 is a great old-skool anime. I borrowed the R1 version from a friend recently, and loved it. ADV are releasing an R2 version soon, but they're seperating it into two volumes instead of just one. Still very much worth seeing though, particularly if you like...

I don't think the comparison to Advent Children is an unfair one - both are only really going to be enjoyed by the fans, and aren't really accessible to newcomers. I'm not saying CCA perfect, by any stretch of the imagination - the way Amuro and Char just completely ignore the events of Zeta is...

Yeah, Genji is really cool. Was very impressed with the slickness of the presentation, it has gorgeous visuals and a great score. Good story, too. The sequel may almost be worth getting a PS3 for... in a few years time.

Samurai X: Trust and Betrayal (aka Rurouni Kenshin: TsuiokuHen). Four part, two DVD release of the best samurai action we've seen in a long time. Macross Plus, ROD and Gunsmith Cats are also recommended.

Piracy is bad, mkay? Please don't encourage it on the forums. If you search for Daichi no Hokou (its Japanese name), you'll find a load of sites selling it at good prices.

Time for another shameless plug! Have a search through the forums, there's enough threads with Gundam discussion and recommendations to get you started. Personal recommendations to get started on are SEED, 08th MS Team and the original movie trilogy.

Some RPGs from me. Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy VI from the oldskool, Chrono Cross and Skies of Arcadia from the newskool. Metal Gear Solid, Soul Calibur and Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories are all pretty cool too. And Super Street Fighter II, just cos it was so cool, back in the day :)

Also, UMDs are now pretty much dead, and even Sony have begun to se the light. Have a look: http://www.realtechnews.com/posts/3266

Personally, the DS, any day of the week. Everyone I know that has a PSP barely uses it any more, having gotten bored of it after a month or two. The only thing that interests me in the PSP is the stuff you're not supposed to do with it. The DS on the other hand has offered me hours of fun. At...

How's the weather? :)

Is this definitely the old Gunbuster, or the newer sequel? At any rate, I don't think they'll risk incurring the fan's wrath by changing the original content, so I can't see them colourising it.

What makes that any different from their last couple of Gundam releases? :roll: Still good news though, hope they do get it.

What Six said. Destiny gets off to a good start, but begins to fall apart after about 15-20 eps when they can't decide on who to follow. What we then get is a horribly unfocused mishmash of plots and underdeveloped characters - it got so bad that it even needed the ending to be remade. There are...

Just wrapped up Phoenix Wright: Ace Attourney. Excellent game, bloody funny and highly recommended.

It was licensed way back in the 80's by Kiseki, and got a uncut, subbed release on VHS here in the UK. The US got two versions, an edited one called Clash of the Bionoids, and an unedited one called Space Fortess Macross. You'd be hard-pressed to find any copies these days, but there's always...

I have Federation Vs Zeon, and to be honest you'll probably only really like them if you are a Gundam fan. As a game, the controls are clunky, movement slow, and the space battles are just plain horrible. But as a Gundam fan, it looks right, sounds right and is perversely enjoyable. I did...
