I scan and I scan and it seems that not many on RB sell GameCube games, which sucks because I've been in a perpetual buying season over the past few weeks and eBay keeps getting my money.

Call me a pansy, but, I can't muster up the balls to boot up XCOM. I need to turn off Ironman mode. I basically have no motivation to play because I'm worried I'll fuck up and have to restart. The game actually wears me out a bit.

Sleeping Dogs is staring at me, and I haven't played it yet. I'm not sure why. I know I'll probably like it. I just can't be bothered.

Looking at my shelf of Genesis games makes me a bit sad. Mostly because I don't really want to play any of them. Really only interested in current games right now. It's a cycle. Maybe picking up a new game would help remedy that feeling. You can only play Ranger X so many times...

Watching this WTF craziness makes me suddenly want to play Comic Jumper



That is the most insane, bizarre and awesome special attack I think I've ever seen in a game! I NEED this game

Trying to think of a great game where the protagonist can fly with no restrictions. Other than the jet pack in GTA San Andreas, I'm coming up empty. You'd think Superman Returns would be the go to, but nope. Any ideas?

There is the flying mode in Pilotwings 64.

Where you are a person who can fly, or in a plane? I'm looking for a game where the character can simply fly on his own.

Well, the original Spyro games have the free-flying levels. I think there's a "free-flight" option when you've beaten one of the levels too, removing the time limit.

Yeah, but I want a flying dude, not dragon. Unlocking the jet pack in GTA SA was one of the best gaming experiences I can remember. I could explore to my heart was content and although a tad slow, it was still tons of fun. You can hover in the Ultimate Alliance games, but not really fly.

With the man of steel film being released next year, I'm hopeful (but not holding my breath) that we'll get a Superman game where you can fly around like Spidey Web Slung in Spider-Man 2.

Birdman Mode

You have wings and can just fly around.

What about Superman on N64?

I liked being able to run, climb, and jump ridiculously high and far in The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction.
