Tetris isn't just influential. It's freakin' god. Its as addictive today as it was back whence. Final Fantasy's appeal to RPG's, Tetris appeals to people who like puzzles. Theyre different types of games but you can't discredit one or the other. Tetris is massive. FF is too, but to a different audience. I only ever liked FF7. Love that game. 'greatest game ever' might also consider accesibility. Children and old folks can't really get into the ultra violent games. Games like Tetris, Pacman etc are universal. That shouldn't make it lose its list cred

I thought Rowan Atkinson effectively did this in Rat Race? And im sorry. But I will never agree to any company messing with Mutley. He's like.. untouchable.. except with a pencil. I'd prefer a Wacky Race animation movie. Like I dunno 'Wacky Races: Paris to Dakaar' (sp?). That I could accept. But mess with Mutley at your peril. For Dick Dastardly though, I gotta go with the guy who played King Arthur in Spamalot in the UK were talking around about December 2006. Dont know what his name was, but he was perfect. if anybodies good at figuring that stuff out, go ahead

which is just so professional and cool. I thought he was Robert DeNiro with his mannerisms.

Bah. Im back (who am I? I dont remember myself). Loving the SIMS 2 finally having bought all of the expansion packs (minus pets & seasons & free time...) and spend all my time forcing Barry Delsan, a Sim-Italian into becoming a legendary businessman. He's top of business career comfortably and I had him running The Corner Shop before I sold up, sold up his shack of a house and moved him into that big $77k home. Which i've decided is ridiculously huge so I'm going to move him out again, buy an empty plot of land and build a home and a homebusiness on it. My ambition for him is to open Delsan Home Stores (DHS) which will be a Wallmart/town centre construction lots of different shops/restaurants/gym etc on the same location. Liberal usage of the ticket machine shall be employed!

uhm... smith is on tonight at 10?

Im hooked. Perry is going to get an Emmy nomination and thats on the strength of one episode. I was following it in the UK for months, and was delighted to be here in the US to see the first episode (will see the 2nd one also). and I really look forward to C4/E4 or Sky picking this up. Thats where the show will justify its cost - in syndication.

Ok.. a little update..... My career so far... 05/06 - Relegated on the last day of season with Middlesbrough to the Championship. I jumped before I was pushed, and resigned joining Championship side Wolves. 06/07 - Finished mid-table after a strong near all season push for the playoffs. Bitterly dissapointing. 07/08 - Finished a place lower than the season before, but the Wolves side is taking shape. Sold the clubs hero to Middlesbrough which got me a lot of flack but I was spoilt for great strikers. 08/09 - Hurrah! Finished 3rd in the league and got to the FA Cup Final with Wolves. Lost in the FA Cup Final to Arsenal but became best buddies with Wenger as a result and earned the club a route into Europe. Won the playoff final against Bolton just. In the january transfer window I brought the clubs hero back for a fraction of what I sold him for... great piece of business. 09/10 - The Wolves are back in the premiership and struggling in the first quarter at the bottom half of the league. Expectations were to rebuild the team. My deciscion? To jump before my ship went down as dutch underachievers PSV came in and offered me the chance to take over! I hopped into the Dutch league and worked a success story with them pushing PSV to the quarter finals of UEFA Cup, the finals of the Dutch Cup (lost to Ajax on penalties.. Ajax are phenomenal) and their first runners up spot in the Dutch League since the game started. I was going for a 'racially pure' dutch side by selling all foreigners (or those who didnt have a Dutch Nationality anyway) and this seemed to backfire... 10/11 - We got hammered by Ajax in the Super Cup and destroyed by a russian side in the 3rd Round Qualifier for the CHampions League. Maybe it hadnt been a good idea to sell all those top foreigners. On an off chance i declared interest in the Crystal Palace (premiership, rich) job and this sent the fans into a riot at PSV. Within a few weeks I was SACKED despite finally turning in the teams first victories (i had gone on a 8 match loss streak previously). Primera Liga topping Alaves were interested in me offering me their job for 3yrs, but their stadium is crap, their bank balance poor. and I'm above all that now! I managed PSV to a runnersup spot damnit! I really fancied cracking the french league for the first time and I declared interest in Bordeoux, Lens and Marseille, with the chairmen all saying they might hire me. None of them did, and I landed up BACK in the Championship in england managing debt laden Southampton (they have 16m in the bank but thats on a 25m loan). How the mighty have fallen. Lesson to be learned people, dont get too big for your boots...

Not a good game to play on my flight to america "BANG!" Ahhh! Terrorists! hmm.. I'll buy it when I get to america if its available in Cape Cod or New York.

No chance about Mario appearing on Sony. The Wii will still come in as #3 out of the main consoles but it'll crack them a new market and earn them enough money to continue. And they are still untouchable in the portable gameplayer department. PSP for all its gadgets just hasnt wrested the market from them. To better illustrate - the PSP has only 1 wall at my local GAME shop w/movie titles included. The Nintendo DS has 1 and a half walls, and the GBA has another half of a wall.

He's said that his playing days are over. He's maintaining his player contract though "just incase theres a crisis" by which he means injury crisis which is shrewd.

LBTN is correct. Expect coops to be part of the management staff when its all settled after the summer. If LMA think they can stop Gibson theyve got another thing coming. King is dead, long live the King! Looking forward to the new season now that the structure at the club (and culture) isnt going to be upset by some foreigner. also: remember that Gibson has always appointed first time managers (since he took sole control at the boro in the early 90's) and he got it right both times with Robson and McClaren. I trust his judgement in gatesy.

I dont understand, why arent you just clicking player search, nationality Scottish. Voala. Regardless of league, there they are. Sort by value, then filter by position as you pick squad. Easy. in news for my game, my first two matches as manager of the United States of America? 2-1 victory over Paraguay, at home in my first match in charge. 2-0 victory over Holland, AWAY!! The press called it a huge upset. But the dutch were limp as anything. Partly because a quarter of their squad were PSV players and I sabotaged them by giving 45 minute instructions as PSV manager. Meant if I got the lead in the first half, they wouldn't have the players to make a comeback in second half. Paid off brilliantly! Conflict of interests? Naaah. I just managed to draw my first PSV game 2-2 away from home. I expected to walk all over my opposition but it had to take a load of tactical changes late in the second half to salvage a draw against NAC Breda. I need 2 left sided midfielders, and a veteran dutch goalkeeper to act as back up when the window opens in a months time.

Yeah... I like uhm... Rock. Atleast the press think so. In my game, I finally got Wolves promoted at the third attempt (4th season of the game, 1st was relegation with boro). Finished 3rd and won the Playoff with Bolton to get into the premiership. I also had an incredible run to the finals of the FA Cup, losing out to Arsenal (and earning a new best buddy in Arsene) and picking up a UEFA Cup place for Wolves first year back in the top flight. Total restructuring of my midfield in the summer brought in the likes of Mark Bresciano (australian), Luigi Di Biagio (replacing Gaizka Mendieta as the 'experienced head' in my team. Mendi went on a free to Norwich despite me offering him a new 1yr deal) and various others. Started good with a 5-1 romping against Birmingham. But then I had like 7 draws in a row, and lost 2 after that. In europe, I snuck into the group stages of the uEFA Cup, won my first game against STeau and then lost to Celtic. At this time, THE USA offered me the managers job of their national side, I took it and briefly had a Continental Reputation. This is important... because as I felt, being in my last year of contract with Wolves and about to fight a relegation battle I thought it was time to end my stay. So I was looking around and noticed Guus Hiddink under some considerable strain at PSV. I declared interet, and the press seemed to think I would be THE man to replace Guus should he be fired. Better than them laughing at me. Guus was fired 3 days later, the chairman rejecting accusations by the press that he was already talking to a replacement saying instead he'd take his time. That same day I agreed an $18,750 a week, 2 and a half year deal. I'm going to PSV! Ive only briefly looked over the squad but it is BRIMMING with talent. The youth team is incredible, no reserves to speak of, and a first team thats only got 4 non-Dutch nationals. Its my dream project with PSV now to kick out the foreign mercs and lead an all dutch squad to Dutch League and European Glory. Once I achieve that, I'll try and build a LOCAL team and send it to victory. Oh yeah, they are still in UEFA Cup and top of their group so Ive made a huge step forward in my career rather than a step back (which was what I did when i went from Boro to Wolves). Oh and coincidentally.. my first international friendly with the USA? Who the opponent is? Holland. It was a sign. transfer kitty of £7.25m. IF I sell the four foreigners in the first week of the january transfer window I can probably raise that to about £10.5m which I can then invest in snatching up cheap talented dutch players. Gonna be fun~~
