I also liked JGR's character design better than JSRF. It looked like they gave Gum a bad boob job between games, and did something wierd to her head.

It was called Jet Grind Radio on the dreamcast, and the sequel was Jet Set Radio Future on the generation of consoles that came after.
Yes and no, as the Dreamcast version was Jet Grind Radio when it was initially released in the states. It was renamed to the Japanese version afterwards.

It gets confusing, because "Jet Set Radio" is not technically the sequel... it's what it was called in Japan, and later in North America after some trademark issues were resolved. The sequel was "JSR - future."
But the disk I have still says grind... and it was definitely worth buying.

And I was responding to shut up.
What movie is that from?
Assuming you mean SeraRelm's gif, it's from Born to Fight

Battlecruiser 3000 AD, isn´t it ? Yeah, that was a disaster
Yes! That's the one. I'm kinda glad I wasn't the only one who wasted money on that turd.
Ahh... I remember that game. The website I did reviews for was almost sued over our review of that game, when Derek Smart went off the rails like he is known to do.
I didn't buy it, but I remember renting George Foreman's KO Boxing hoping it'd be as entertaining as Super Punch-Out! on the SNES (because it was nearly impossible to rent SPO, hardly ever got returned on time).
My God, how wrong I was. It's the only game I've returned the same day I rented it.

But were you able to knock out the fat?
EVERQUEST 2.
At launch (and right at this instant) I'd agree with you. But for quite a few years there it was "the shit" IMO. It took until about the first expansion to get actually "good" and with people who cared about it, paid attention, etc. Then as time went on, Sony either fired them, or they left because of the things that Sony was making them do.
But for now, check out Rift. The "good guys" from EQ2 are running it. And they just announced their first expansion where they're tripling the landmass. Really. The upper two islands in this are the original launch ones. The lower are the expansion: http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/465889_426317340741471_215180643_o.jpg
Just don't touch anything from SOE. They're terrible. I learned my lesson after EQ1. Hell, EQ2 is hardly free, you only get like 4 races and maybe 1/2 the classes, not to mention things like a gold cap and limited space for other stuff.
Rift was a lot of fun when I played last year. The major hangup I had was the endgame wasn't interesting enough to me. I might give it another shot when the xpac hits, there's no company out there right now that works as hard as Trion does to make their game better.

I'm no Rift fanatic but my wife is, and I have to say that I agree hard with the bolded above. The amount of content they stuff into the game continually amazes me. While it kinda makes the game feel a little discombobulated at times, they have done some pretty amazing things to keep interest going - and to just try new things without being constrained by Metzen-writing.
It's been awhile since I played, I've heard the new additions are great, especially the one or two-man dungeons. I might re-sub when I've got a job again even.
Because of all the Rift talk (which I admittedly initiated), a small plug for the guild I'm in: http://alpha.guildlaunch.com (yes we're recruiting, and server transfers are free)

One of the dullest games I ever had the misfortune of writing about.

Batman Vengeance (PS2)
I remember, at the time, I was super hyped for this game. This was when superhero games were starting to actually show their potential, after some very good successes with recent Spider-Man games (the PS1 Spidey basically proved that superhero video games didn't have to suck). Plus, this was set and based in the Batman Animated universe. So I pre-ordered the hell out of Batman: Vengeance.
Aaaaaand...well, it was good. I mean, there wasn't anything really wrong with the game. It was a solid action game. But it definitely wasn't worth the $60 or $70 I paid for it.
Between that and L.A. Noire (which I bought, but never bothered to finish before selling it), I've been hesitant to pre-order games.
...though I did recently pre-order The Amazing Spider-Man. Hoping I don't get burned there, too.

I knew how the game played when I bought it on a Steam sale, but I figured it'd still be kinda fun to play a Space Marine regiment. It was alright, but I've yet to finish the game. I want to one of these days if only because the expansion lets you fall to Chaos, which sounds fun.
This times 1000.
I was expecting a traditional RTS and ended up with the "new" style of RTS with minimal units.
I do agree, though that Last Stand was it's only redeeming quality.
I actually bought the expansions just for that...
Why?
I mean the 1st one wasn't a traditional RTS either...
What really disappointed me was that in many ways it was a step back from CoH while i was hoping for a step forward (like being able to fortify terrain gains etc.)
That and unlike the 1st one the story was too driven by the map mechanics they wanted to use (also see SC2)...
Well CoH shooting/vehicle mechanics wouldn't really fit in a 40k game, but i was hoping the core concepts of battlefield control and somewhat decentralized base building would make it in without being watered down into irrelevancy...
I was hoping we'd get something like the British from CoH where you would be building stuff on the battlefield more often then at base...
