you obviously have no played the GB game, Flake. It's like Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle, except I think it's better.

But they still were all generic with no real utilization of the time travel gimmick. With todays technology, it'd be possible to do the 'time travel game' like they did at the end of the 2nd movie:

"Okay, when we beat this guy and rescue the babes we'll take the time machine back twenty minutes and set up all the stuff we need to beat this guy and save the babes"

It'd be like portal but with time.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

I was watching that too lol

Smile: Got out of work early and picked up a brand new unopened copy of Fables Deluxe Edition hard cover volume 2 at Borders

Frown:Still haven't found the regular soft cover volume 6 of the Fables TPBs, which means my reading of this series has come to a halt for the moment. I have read the first five and even found a copy of volume 7, but no luck with volume 6

Ticked: It's been a month, and the copy of Better Off Dead I ordered on eBay still hasn't come. I went to see what the issue was and the seller's percentage had gone down 33% since I bought it. The DVD apparently never shipped and I'm getting contact info.

Smile: Weekend!

We're getting more snow on Saturday in Massachusetts and I don't mind. I love my snowblower. It's an Ariens 8HP with a snow cab. I can throw the snow farther than any of my neighbors, especially the ones who have the crappy Toro. With the snow cab, I don't have to worry about any snow blowing in my face which is the worst.

So, you dislike the game because it doesn't include the game mechanics you expected? Seriously, just give the game another shot. Yes, it is generic, yes, it uses every platforming gimmick known to gaming, but it is still a great game. Same with Scooby Doo: Night of 100 Frights; generic, but the gameplay is stellar.
