Mods re: this review.

I tried to reduce the size of the intro slightly, but couldn't work out how to do it (I tried dropping the text to small, but it wouldn't let me).
Don't know if I was missing something, but didn't mean for it to be quite so large.

If one of you would like to, please do and then P.M me to let me know why I couldn't. Grin

Thanks. JSay.

Formatting gets messed up pretty easily for whatever reason.  What I did was:

Copy/paste the text of your intro into Notepad.
Move the picture to the main article (it was too big for the preview page).
Deleted everything out of the intro.
Re-pasted the text back in and formatted (Verdana, X-Small, Text going to both ends).
I took your only non-widescreen picture into the intro, made it 200 px tall, left justified, 1 px border, 5 px Horizontal spacing.
I also went through the article and reduced all the pics to 580 px wide, which prevents the text wrapping.
Also, also, put up a link on Facebook.  The first 20 hits are always spiders from that.

Also, just read the review.  Good stuff!  I played Quantum of Solace on the PC, but may have to get this on the PS3 when the price comes down.  This and SW FU II should be fun to go through once.

I'd probably love it anyway. I'm not an avid gamer and am easily impressed. It might be awhile, though. I've figured out waiting on games means you get to name your price, and it's often under 10 bucks.

Thanks Chooch.

I got it all set up okay (looked okay in the preview) but couldn't manage to shrink the text on the intro down.

Yeah, I only buy two or three games a year now. I can't remember the last time I didn't blow through a game in about two days, with another to mop up all the achievements I could.

This will be cheap soon too. It's painfully average and up against Call of Duty and Need for Speed.

Now I just need a PS3.

I take a month or more to beat a game. And then revisit it many times after. I've been playing GTA San Andreas for years. And just logged about a half hour of Smackdown: Here Comes The Pain.

San Andreas is great for dicking around in still.
Preferred Vice City overall though.

And as to Bloodstone, by all means pick it up cheap. Honestly though it's not that it's a terrible game, it's just that for the fact that the hook is playing Bond.
They never make you feel like Bond.

Even Nightfire and Everything or Nothing from back in the day managed that.

Joss Stone as the female lead? That's odd.

Activision probably got her to do the song, then thought fuck it may as well make her the Bond girl too.

She's not exactly the regular Bond Girl fare. And she's like twenty years younger than Craig, too. Grin

Joss also does the song, so it was 2 for 1.

Natasha Bedingfield and Maria Minudos are in From Russia With Love, which DEFINITELY makes you feel like Bond and was well worth the 3 bucks I paid for it. check that out if you have not, that's really fun. Imagine Sean Connery Bond set in period with full scale modern special effects and it's you in there doing everything.

Each GTA game has something unique. San Andreas you have that full wardrobe option, hairdos, Vegas, gang wars, in Vice City you are Ray Liotta as Henry Hill in a tracksuit and you can knock over pharmacies and get blown out on pharmaceuticals. It's kinda even.

From Russia with Love was a great game. They still haven't beaten the N64 Goldeneye game when it comes to 007 though.

San Andreas was cool, but I never liked Gangsta Rap and Gangbanging, so the main story kinda bored me.

Vice City on the other hand...The decade that taste forgot, Henry Hill meets Scarface and Motley Crue, Jan Hammer and Maiden on the radio of my Lambo.

Love it. Grin

The G-diddy aspect was just a starting point- My CJ wears 500 dollar suits and sports a pompadour like Jackie Wilson and hanfs out in Vegas.

They've redone Goldeneye the Game, but replaced Brosnan with Craig, apparently.
