Seems like I upset a few people here. I think you lot may have gotten the impression that I dislike Portal. I dont. I just went into the game thinking it would be something mind-blowing. And I just thought it was ok by the end of it. The game only got interesting at the very end in my opinion.

So Ill leave it by saying Portal's ok. Are you lot alright with that? Or do I have to call it great to make you lot happy?

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

This thread is not about scrutinizing others' opinions. It's about bullets.

[Spatvark]

This time the bullet cold rocked ya
A yellow ribbon instead of a swastika
Nothin' proper about ya propaganda
Fools follow rules when the set commands ya
Said it was blue when ya blood was red
That's how ya got a bullet blasted through ya head
Blasted through ya head, Blasted through ya head
I give a shout out to the living dead
Who stood and watched as the feds cold centralised?
So serene on the screen, You was mesmerised
Cellular phones soundin' a death tone
Corporations cold, Turn ya to stone before ya realise
They load the clip in omnicolour
Said they pack the 9, they fire it at prime time
The sleeping gas, every home was like Alcatraz
And mutha smurfas lost their minds

Just victims of the in-house drive-by
They say jump, you say "how high?"
Yeah
Just victims of the in-house drive-by
They say jump, you say "how high?"
Run it!

(Guitar solo)

Just victims of the in-house drive-by
They say jump, you say "how high?"
Just victims of the in-house drive-by
They say jump, you say "how high?"

Check-a, check-a, check it out
They load the clip in omnicolour
Said they pack the 9, they fire it at prime time
The sleeping gas, every home was like Alcatraz
And mutha smurfas lost their minds
No escape from the mass mind rape
Play it again Jack and then rewind the tape
And then play it again and again and again
Until ya mind is locked in
Believin' all the lies that they're tellin' ya
Buyin' all the products that they're sellin' ya
They say jump and ya say "how high?"
Ya brain-dead
Ya gotta smurfin' bullet in ya head

Just victims of the in-house drive-by
They say jump, you say "how high?"
Yeah
Just victims of the in-house drive-by
They say jump, you say "how high?"

Uggh! Yeah! Yea!

Ya standin' in line
Believin' the lies
Ya bowin' down to the flag
Ya gotta bullet in ya head
Ya standin' in line
Believin' the lies
Ya bowin' down to the flag
Ya gotta bullet in ya head
A bullet in ya head (x15)
Ya gotta bullet in ya smurfin' head!
Yeah!
Yeah!

[KoShiatar]

LETS SEE THE SPECS.

Specs! Specs! Specs! (I'll make my bullet list when I'm home).

-Bad =( :
 Bubble Bobble DSThe port of the original isn't too bad. That's gotta count for something!

-Bad =( :
 Harvest Moon DS (In other words: I’ll never trust Rising Star Games again!)It's all about Rune Factory.

[KoShiatar]

The Bubble Bobble DS I played was not a port... the controls were sloppy and unresponsive. I'm never been too good at games that require coordination, but that one was just frustrating. I couldn't even beat the first boss after I've tried countless times and in the end I sold it.

Harvest Moon DS... well, for reasons I can't make public but I'm sure you can guess I am one of the people who know best just how plagued by bugs that game is.
But what's Rune Factory like instead?

[Necronopticous]

But what's Rune Factory like instead?My review of Rune Factory (http://monsterinabox.blogspot.com/2007/09/rune-factory.html).

[KoShiatar]

From your review, Rune Factory seems to have all the qualities Harvest Moon DS should have had, and missed. But Rising Star Games apparently did not place its hands on it, so I could very well give it a try. :)
