My god there is a lot of competitions on right now it is a great sign of support for different games and it seems Nintendo of Aus is actually putting some effort in advertising looking good

 

[deity_link]

Wooo more competions I entered all of them except the Mothers Day one.... and what the hell is that last one Mercury Meltdown??? I'm confused??? *Heads to google*

 

[Sam_Harris]

It is a bit like that Koropina thingo but with mercury it was on the psp a while back you roll mercury around a course and change colours and what not it not to bad but gave me a headache but on a TV it might not

 

[deity_link]

Ok I went around and it looks like a piece of poo. Not worth the money even if it is pretty cheap.

Bummer U didn't win. The winner of last hour's Rock Paper Scissors draw was Kylie from EMU HHEIGHTS. Thanks for entering & good luck next time!

Kylie of Emu Heights I shake my fist at you grrrr....

 

[Oceanic]

What about Eledees Deity, do you think you'll be getting it?

 

[deity_link]

I dunno I got enough money but at the moment I don't have any time to play it (dam you.....well pretty much school in general....as well as Kulie of EMU HEIGHTS)so probabbly not at the moment, might wait till it comes down a bit.....but I got some games preordered for when I hopefully have time. These Include:
Pokemon Diamond
Mario Strikers
Mario Galaxy ( I found this odd, at my EB they have a fake box art for it and you can preorder it....but not MP3 or Brawl hmmm...)

 

[cannon]

Diamond is good, I have played a demo of Strikers and i loved it, Just my 2cents

 

[deity_link]

Where'd you get the demo of Strikers from???...wait no where'd you play the demo of Strikers???

 

[cannon]

I work in the gaming industry, Im not at liberty to say but trust me if i was allowed to tell, you guys would be first to no.

 

[deity_link]

You can be our man on the inside...to bad you can't tell us anything. To bad I don't work in the game industry nope I work in the Pizza industry :lol:

 

[cannon]

I CAN tell you that after reading reviews, watching videos of strikers i thought what a pile of poo. But after playing it first hand my opinion changed in a couple of seconds.

....Must be good if it changed your opinion that quickly.... sorry I've just got to ask you this if you can't answer dw but did you try or see what online looked like if so was it any good?

 

[cannon]

I didnt get a chance to check out online. In fact im not even sure this demo had online. It was very limited and we were only allowed a couple of minutes each on the unit.

 

[deity_link]

Ok, yeah I didn't think you've would've otherwise you probabbly would've mentioned it. Sounds like a great game though.
