Weird, so that's a guy? That just makes it all the more creepy.

Still, a neat cover idea.

I'm not an expert in this matter, but is it possibe in theory, even in the Saturn version, to patch and re-burn the game in order to work on a real system? Yes, but you'd need to defeat the copy protection schemes around that, that is chip the console or a similar solution. That's why emulation wou...

Remember, bills get introduced all the time and never get out of committee. This is one of those bills.

I wouldn't call this a "draft" bill as it's more or less the same as some European countries which require everyone to do some sort of public/military service for a set period of time.

Maybe you can help me. i burned the iso of Snatcher to a CD and tried running it on my modded xbox with Gens, but it wouldn't play. Does the ISO have to be installed on my xbox?

Look here: viewtopic.php?t=6

The reason that the script hasn't been translated yet, as far as I can tell, is that there isn't a dump in Japanese even. While your enthusiasm is commendable, the task you are setting out to do is hardly possible at this point.

two PSP titles and no wii title... Booo! I wasn't planning on getting a PSP. After Sony's rather blah presentation, I don't really want to get a PS3 (and I wouldn't, if it wasn't for MGS4). Both games look sweet, but both for systems that I either don't really want or are ridiculously priced. First...

If you have 2 PSPs available, I think it would be really worth waiting for Gitaroo Man Lives! as there's a new co-operative mode in it. Then again, you might want to get two Guitar controllers and buy Guitar Hero 2, when it comes out. Nope, no PSPs. I've heard about GH2, though, and as someone who'...

Pikmin 2 is a two player game? Cool!

Toe Jam and Earl sounds like it would be really cool in 2 player co-op. I'll have to try that. Although, it did get a horrible review from Gamespot (like that means anything).

PS2 Half-Life has a coop mode called Decay that's pretty good. Splinter Cell Chaos Theory (Xbox) has a great coop mode as well. Those sound decent, but do those go through the story? I'm looking for something between the old beat'em ups/shoot'em ups like Battletoads or Contra and Secret of Mana. So...

Games w/co-op story mode?

I asked this in another forum, but maybe I can get more ideas here... I'm looking for a game my girlfriend and I could play through together.

I just don't think that it's as huge a deal as the internet exploded with it.

If I remember correctly, there's a slight story (something to do with "grandfather's experiments", I believe) but nothing that really makes any sense (or tries to).

Much like Katamari, it's firmly rooted in the idea that the gameplay makes up for everything else and in both cases, it does.
