    Mass Effect

    I sneaked Mass Effect off of my brothers shelf and finally started playing it. I played KOTOR, so knew roughly what to expect. For me, I love it, I really like my sci-fi, and without Farscape on TV I've been seriously lacking any. This threw straight in, I take my time exploring every facet...

    ADV Films go Blu-ray as future of DVD releases still unclear

    I think people judge the standard picture quality a little harshly now. I know HD is a better picture than standard, but I know people who have spent a fair amount of time properly setting up their HDTV's and now they a very good picture quality even with a standard definition source. A lot...

    ADV Films go Blu-ray as future of DVD releases still unclear

    After the doom and gloom posts in the the other ADV topic, and the less than enthusiastic discussion on HD in another topic, I feel maybe it's too soon for ADV to start thinking about HD formats. I already don't watch or buy much Anime because of the cost involved, and I (along with many others)...

    What Games Are You Playing?

    I'm currently battling through Mass Effect, 2nd Primary Mission, and I'm loving it. I can't get enough of it, I was up 'til about 3:00 last night playing. Also started Dream Of Mirror Online with my brother a few nights back but we've only just got through the tutorial area, so no real...

    Dream Of Mirror Online?

    Just wondered if anyone had started this free MMO? Me and my brother are hoping to get into it, apparently it's similar to FFIX. I've only played for a couple of hours, but what I heard so far seemed to be good, wanted to know if anybody had any experiences (good or bad) with this?

    The ultimate question of 90's gaming! Megadrive or SNES?

    Death Note: The Manga

    I read something today about a one off Death Note story being printed in Japan, not sure about it being printed in English tho.

    The "Sound" of Anime

    To me music plays a big part, like everyone has said, it adds to atmosphere and can help to tell a story in a particular way, one of my favourite OST's has to be Macross Plus, this was the first time I heard anything by Yoko Kanno. I love the music in it, as a soundtrack and a BG track, since...

    Anime insults

    I had a similar experience, once! It was about 12-13 years ago, I was at Southgate tube station and had just bought a Dominion Tank Police T-Shirt. I was buying a train ticket when the guy behind the desk looks at me and goes "hey man, you watch Dominion too?", I was astonished to say the...

    How many others go back to their older games?

    It's weird but I agree with you there, I've got Street Of Rage 2 and Metal Slug on the Xbox Live Arcade and I'm already bored of it, but I have Metal Slug on my PC and DC, and I still go back to those. I get bored playing my old games on the new consoles, I always prefer playing them on their...

    Anime insults

    I've always accepted that people are ignorant to most things outside of the UK, I've always got it in the neck from 99.9% of people for liking anime/manga. My sister and one of my 3 brothers are the fans (but not much anymore). I've had the usual insults thrown around, jap porn, paedo...

    How many others go back to their older games?

    I've recently booted up my Sega Saturn only to find the drive doesn't spin discs anymore :( ... so instead I got my DreamCast out in all it's shiny white glory. Borrowed some Street Fighter games and Japanese Shoot 'em ups from a mate and decided it's time again .... time to start Grandia 2...

    Your Unfinished Games

    Over the past few years, I've gotten really bad at doing this. When I bought my Xbox, for the first year I only had Halo, DOA3 and Tony Hawks 3 and I played those a lot. Now .... PGR3 PGR4 (about to stop) PSU Rainbow 6 Vegas (finished Co-Op tho!) Bioshock Flatout Ultimate Carnage...

    Shenmue - any fans?

    I never got round to playing the first game, but I watched my younger brother play through it. Shenmue II tho, I couldn't put down. One of the best games I ever played I loved it, the quicktime events were awesome as well as the fighting system. I watched a video of Shenmue I running on a...

    DS Recommendations

    I finally bought Viewtiful Joe and am loving it, can be frustrating as hell sometimes tho. I'm yet to start Trauma Centre: Under The Knife, but it's another one I had on my list for a while. I quite enjoyed Children of Mana too, but didn't get too far before I got distracted. You have to get...

    ADV Films UK halt sale & distribution of select titles

    I seem to remember MVM being involved in the original VHS release of Oh My Goddess, way back in 1993/94 (my memory is a little hazy), as well as Anime Projects/Animeigo, unless I'm thinking of the DVD re-release. :? MVM has been quite the survivor, in some capacity. Still got the Dominion...

    The Melancholy of Foriegn Games

    I've been trying to get an Anime based mod off the ground for years, there is so much potential for some series to be games over here. A Gundam game in the guise of Battlefield 2? Trigun as a FPS, Patlabor even. I've seen people try Anime mods before, but I always get the impression they...

    ADV Films UK halt sale & distribution of select titles

    I agree with you completely, I just brought up fansubs so I can be a turd :P Out of curiosity, do many Japanese DVD releases include English subs? I've toyed with the idea of buying straight from Japan in the past, mainly because I might pick up some cool little freebies along the way. And...
