Anyone think its worth getting Titan Wars? I am also looking at Night Striker S and something called Bulk Slash I think its called

Never played them so I can't tell you.

Another game that might interest you seen as you like your Transformers and stuff is Super Dimension Force Macross:

This looks awesome! I think i will pick this guys up for sure.

[dcultrapro]

I played Titan Wars yesterday for about an hour and I must say I actually REALLY like it! Its kind of a cross between Starlancer/Wing Commander and games like Soul Star or Nova Storm, and its actually pretty challenging as well. Really nice little game and surprisingly good FMV real actor segments, I must say I was expecting the worst, like mega cd quality segments but I was pleasantly surprised. I'd actually REALLY recommend this game

I just watched a video, I didn't realise it was the sequel to Total Eclipse on the 3DO. I remember playing that and it was pretty good, I would like to pick this up. It was also called Solar Eclipse as you can see from this video:



If you like that then you will also like Starfighter 3000, a game that was also on the 3DO.

It's a similar kind of space shooter and while the graphics are bit rough its a very good game:

yeah I heard about it as Solar Eclipse in that vid I recently linked to and then found out via googly that it was called Titan Wars in the UK. Seriously its excellent fun, nice bit of challenge too

I'm waiting for my copy of that macross game as well... loving my Saturn again at the moment! finding loads of hidden gems I knew nothing about while the Dreamcast I have pretty much seen and done anything on it that is worth doing

Following on from our convo about Wipeout style games at Video Game Carnival here is the Saturn game I recommended:



And another game that is pretty similar which I also like is Hi-Octane:

[dcultrapro]

cool, I just had a look at the first one, looks a bit ropey to be honest, the other one looks good though. I need to check out Tunnel B1 as well.

I need to play some of my Saturn games more, really would love to finish Dark Saviour and never finished DragonForce either. I might go on a little Saturn gaming marathon soon

Cyber Speedway was a very early Saturn game so does look a little ropey in parts but it does look gorgeous in others and also plays pretty well too. It's very cheap to pick up these days too.

Tunnel B1 isn't bad, it has a great soundtrack. Its a more about shooting and less about the actual racing really:

[dcultrapro]

awesome stuff! Finalist looks cool, dunno about that Hi Octane looks like the controls are a bit rough, but I'm definitely interested in that Finalist!

That is Tunnel B1, 3D Mission Shooting Finalist is the Japanese name for it (no idea why!)

Bet you wish you had picked it up in Kart Klub now!

[dcultrapro]

yeah... I did wonder what was going on when you were talking about B1 and the vid said Finalist lol... might see how much it is online

I took a notion to gather my babies round me today:



My fiancee just shook her head and sighed patiently
