What about boxing? Has there ever been a pure simulation of being a boxing promoter?

I had a huge rant typed up, but the boards crapped out and ate it. Here's a synopsis. It's about time they added the ability to ram your opponent into the steel cage. A staple of the match hasn't even been seen in the entire Smackdown series. Buried Alive Match: I wonder what wrestlers they had to cut out of the game to put this in. That and the waste of space Bra and Panty match. No Alternate Costumes: Their piece on that translates into "We're just lazy." The Legends: Ever since HCTP, I've said one thing. THQ should make their own Legends of Wrestling game, and leave the WWE games free of them and add more current WWE wrestlers. As well as keeping most of the belts... As for adding the stamina bar and having longer matches: Good, I love a long match. I also hope there is the ability to have a 60 minute Iron Man match. More to come tomorrow.

Under Pressure Oops, wrong song...

Alice In Chains is my third favorite band behind Pearl Jam and Iron Maiden. It's a shame that I never got to see them in concert, they were such a good band.

My god, my label released me today, as well as most of their top selling artists. What the hell? That's it, Trueblood Records is accepting Alternative, Grunge, and hard rock acts. I hope this works...

Dynasty Warriors V: It comes very close to 3, I give it ****. Romance of the Three Kingdoms IX: *****

*begins praying* Please let Koei announce a US Nobunaga's Ambition...

Pearl Jam March 16 1992: MTV Unplugged June 16 2000: Kadowice Poland October 22 2000: Las Vegas November 06 2000: Seattle June 12 2003: St. Louis Nirvana MTV Unplugged September 11 1992 (I think): Seattle

I would sign on with one of the fellow EWBer labels, but I'm sadly already attached to FW Entertainment for four more albums and three more singles. Not that bad a label, though. They only take 20% of my profits. As for my band, it might not be original, but I sim Pearl Jam.

JoJo's Thoughts 100-91 94: Wolfenstein 3D Wolfenstein 3D was one of the first FPS' made, and I think it should get more recognition on the list. Not to mention it was a fun game. 93. SimCity Blasphemy 92. Aces Of The Pacific It may be a huge personal bias as AOTP was one of my first PC games, but it was the best WWII flight sim I have ever played. It just might be the best flight sim I've ever played. 90. Sonic The Hedgehog Blasphemy 88. Warcraft II A great game that deserves to be at least in 60s. 85. Final Fantasy X This better than SimCity, Sonic, and F-Zero? You've got to be kidding me. 75. Saturn Bomberman Anything remotely to do with Bomberman should be in the top 50%... 57. Star Fox This game is another one of the revolutionary games that should have gotten more credit for their achievements. 51. Contra Should be a little bit higher. 47. SimCity 2000 BLASPHEMY! 44. Doom The game that popularized FPS' should not be this low. 39. Halo Halo's overrated 34. Dune II: Building Of A Dynasty The article says so itself, it's the godfather of the modern RTS game. 18. Grand Theft Auto III A great game, but it doesn't hold the same historical context (at least yet) of some of the previous games mentioned. It seems to be there only because it's popular. 15. Civilization II Blasphemy! It should be in the top 5. 13. Ms. Pac-Man Same as Civ II Other thoughts I really think the the orignal Legend Of Zelda should have been on the list, mainly considering that it won the EGM list about two years ago. I really agree with Super Mario Brothers clinching the top spot, as that's one of the games that really brought people into the world of console games. BTW, Where the hell's Pong?

I don't know if my computer can handle it, but I can play it the old fashioned way. *Gets out D10s*

I usually play either the English, Japanese, Mongolians, Romans or the Greeks. I can't play online as I only have Civilization II I play on the largest map Civ 2 has for Earth. I don't like the random maps that are produced.

My favorite match ending in a wrestling game happened on Smackdown vs. Raw. I was Eddie Guerrero in Season mode, and I was granted a WWE Title shot at the second Smackdown PPV. The match goes on as normal with Guerrero hitting some nice techinal spots while JBL brawls his way to a special. I'd say that it's about 10:00 minutes in (I'd say about 20 minutes in real life) and Eddie and JBL are both busted open and we have both kicked out of our respective finishers at least once. I'm beginning to think that I have this match in the bag when I see JBL's belt laying on the announcer's table. I walk outside and grab the belt. I line myself up with JBL as I am ready to cheat to win. JBL slowly makes his way to his feet and I charge at him. JBL runs a short distance and I am hit with the Clothesline From Hell! JBL covers and gets the three count.

I agree with SSTB with Brain of J as an excellent opener. For my opener, I would have to pick Them Bones off of Dirt As for closer, All or None by Pearl Jam from Riot Act

Iron Maiden: Somewhere In Time

It's a waste. Microsoft will never allow them to make a FPS becuase it might actually surpass Halo. And we have seen almost nothing out of them ever since the purchase. Then again, what if Rare had made Perfect Dark 2 on the Gamecube? It would give Halo a run for it's money. So maybe it wasn't a waste afterall.

*sighs* I wish I knew the answer to your question, but don't you wish Koei would bring the newest Nobunaga's Ambition to the US?

What would I like to see in a GTA game? I think the next place they should go is 1920's Chicago. Run rum for some bootleggers, assassinate some G-Men for Capone (well, a Caponeish character,) run afoul of The Untouchables. Also, a suggestion for the next topic, the Smackdown series.
