by rawmeatcowboy
29 February 2008
GN 1.0 / 2.0

I caught this summary over at NeoGAF, and everything seems to be in order. A well-done summary in my opinion.

Okami:
-Full widescreen now
-No paper filter

Biohazard 0:
-Japan only release right now
-Not a remake, not going to be running 16:9

Crap Games:
-Agatha Christy = 4.9
-Kidz Sports International Soccer = 1.0 “A total turd”
-London Taxi Rush Hour = looks like a bad n64 game

MX Vs. ATV Untamed:
-Floaty, Frame rate is kind of weak

Bully(Feb. GotM):
-Visuals are basically PS2
-”Motions are great, fun to do the fighting”
-Extra classes are cool, a little trauma center mini game
-”If we’re going to have Wii-Makes it out to be something good like Bully”
-About an hour of additional content. Worth playing if you haven’t before
