I had the metal-case special edition in my hand the other night at Best Buy, but decided not to get it (bought my son and I a pair of DS Lites). Is it really that good? I've only played the original on the GC.

The game play is a bit smoother due to being able to aim better. So far I am just at the begining. I will be playing it more this weekend hopefully.

I'm gonna trade my old ones in and get this Tuesday... I liked all three and will be glad to have them all on the same disc with motion control. :) (GameStop has an extra 20% trade-in credit when you trade in 2 or more games towards a new game until the 13th.)

Prime freezing was a common problem due to a badly written scene loader. The game loads rooms while you're in the connecting tunnels and if you go through the tunnel too quickly and the door opens before the level is loaded... BOOM! The UK and NA Player's Choice versions were supposedly fixed so the doors won't open til the loader signals it's finished.

My freezes always happened when changing zones in the elevators. It would freeze right when the name of the zone was displayed. That part I could deal with but what I hated most was the corrupting of the save files. I constantly made backups on memory cards. It would corrupt them as soon as I tried to load them even if they previously worked before.

I think it was the same problem. The elevators had the same function as the corridors. They distracted you from the load time. (The elevator going from the ruins at the end of the game to the last "world" is where mine usually crashed too.) I only had card corruption problems using non-Nintendo game cards.

Wha?! :| :woot:

Yeah, it was pretty cool looking. We were walking up to the checkout, and I saw this little table full of copies of this game, picked one up, and thought it was really heavy (for a game) and really cold. Then really looked at it, and saw it was some sort of collectors edition. Almost bought it just for that fact alone. Might have to go back and get it now, since I'd not heard much about it before.

Just tried playing it.

I haven't played #2 yet but I just tried playing #1. I thought the controls were ****ing awful. The controls felt very unnatural. I want to be able to control his 360 range of motion using the stick not the wimote. Sure aiming with the wimote is nice but not turning him.

    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Uhm, that's every business ever, though. It doesn't matter if a bajillion users are using it. As long as it's not making bank, it's probably headed for the graveyard.

      Samsung is the new Google... they don't care if millions of people are using it.
    • Steam Next Fest returns with thousands of new demos to try out

      Still no word on Tides of Annihilation...... so weird that it wasn't shown at the big Game Fest. Guess I'll put it in the bin like Judas and Squadron 42.

      Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions by David Uzondu Samsung has announced that it is shutting down Samsung Max, its VPN service used by more than 50 million people, effective today. Samsung Max VPN, if you don't know, was an Android app born on February 23, 2018, out of the ashes of Opera Max, a very popular data-saving VPN that Opera had discontinued the previous year. Samsung bought the discontinued service, rebranded it, and added a native Samsung UI to fit the Galaxy ecosystem. The app could do things like compress images, help you manage background data on a per-app basis, reduce video data consumption, shrink music files, optimize webpages, block advertisement trackers in incognito mode, and encrypt your internet traffic on public Wi-Fi networks. Image via SammyGuru If you open the app now, you'd be greeted by a shutdown banner warning that all VPN, data saving, and privacy services stopped functioning on June 15, 2026. The creators failed to provide a reason for the shutdown, instead publishing a farewell note that read: "Thank you for being with us over the years. Your support and activity truly meant a lot to us and helped shape this app into what it became." This same message appears on the Google Play Store listing for the app as well. Max VPN is the latest service from Samsung to join the list of discontinued applications from the company. Just two months ago, the Korean tech giant announced that it is completely shutting down Samsung Messages, forcing millions of users to migrate to Google Messages by next month. The only devices that the shutdown won't affect are older smartphones running Android 11 or lower. Some of the features of Google Messages that Samsung hopes will entice users include AI-powered scam detection to block suspicious links, integrated Gemini AI tools to generate quick replies, custom chat bubbles, and universal RCS compatibility for sharing high-quality media with iOS users. The platform also offers seamless syncing across tablets and smartwatches. In addition to that, users gain access to message scheduling, smart classification, and automated category sorting.
