    Games that should have never existed.

    Stupidest Reason Why You've Gotten Into Trouble In School.

    I remember getting shouted at cos my backpack was 'obstructing a fire exit'. I was wearing it at the time. I also got in trouble for replying "if theres a fire I'm gonna move" whilst being shouted at for wearing the backpack. Didnt even get a laugh...

    Next Gen? Really? Then sort the damn controllers out!

    I do like the 360 controller but it makes fatalies on UMK3 near impossible.

    Who else thought Prototype was extremely cheap?

    When I read the title to this thread I thought "extremely cheap, I paid a bloody fortune". But I found it fun, not perfect, but not bad.
