D/L - will keep me occupied during a run


Also, controls be damned, GRAND THEFT SHARK was glorious (if that's the Jaws game that gets mentioned).

Crap. Wish I got this before I left for work.

I like the amount of handheld discussion. The PSP/DS let me be a busy parent with a job, and still play games.

I was with you guys on the Shenmue/Skies opinions expressed but the Jaws hatorade gave me frowns. Sure the game sucked but it had the 'dismemberment engine' and YOU PLAYED AS FUCKING JAWS. Fuck, the game could've been a text adventure and I'd still have bought it because YOU PLAY AS FUCKING JAWS. I know that was brought up in your reasons for hype, but it doesn't matter: YPAFJ


Good show too ~
