Got Iridion II last night - and I am absolutely stunned by this!

The best shooter ever to grace the GBA. The graphics are gorgeous for the GBA too!

Realy i thought i looked good.
ign gave it an 8, any one else seen any other reviews?

C&VG gave it 9/10.

Here is my GBA faves:

Advance Wars 5/5
Mario Kart 5/5
Tactics Ogre 5/5
Golden Sun 5/5
Golden Sun 2 3/5 [this game is a rip off in my view and should have
come with the first].
Made In Wario 3/5 [only because its easy but it is great].
Fzero 4/5
Doom 5/5
Metroid 3/5 [too fiddly for me]
THPS 2 4/5

Oh! My! Car!:

Have you had any problems with Ecks Vs Sever? Mine has frozen on me about 10 mines since I've had it. Just wondering if it was just me.

that hasn't happened to me, but i agree with Tig...those later levels were some bastards to beat...i gave up after a while!! lol

oh...and when is Golden Sun 2 actually coming out here??? it was out in Japan like a year ago..grrrr
--and i don't rate f-zero as much as some of you...the AI was so cheaty-hard i found beating some of the levels with those crap cars impossible!! boo..oh, and did anyone else unlock the final car in f-zero from the japanese web site?? that was a coll idea, especially for mere plebs like me who couldn't unlock it the other way!!

[Oh! My Car!]

and NeilMcRae, i envy you...you've got a Japanese Final Fight One!!! wahhhh!!!!! 8)

Just checked out a couple of movies from the official site and I have to say I'm blown away. I didn't think the first game was all that hot due to the awkward forward scrolling 3D effect, but it have some great tech behind it. Good to see it being put to better use with a more traditional top down shooter.

Ok my turn

Klonoa 4/5 - some of the puzzles look simple but do tax, it's not the longest game in the world, but picked it up for 11 quid from cd-wow so can't complain!

Advance Wars - 4/5 some times I love it, some times I hate it

Wario Ware - 4/5 brilliant, play this most (am obsessed with the skateboarding game, anyone top 198?)

Yoshi's Island - 4/5 Classic 2D platform loveliness

Metroid Fusion - 5/5 Perfect game, just too short, completed in 6 hours on 1st play, not gone back to since

Puzzle Bobble - 2/5 but ask my girlfriend and she will give it 5/5

Will buy Golden Sun next after reading this post, thanks for the heads up

I currently have

Advance Wars 5/5 (was late getting into this gem, but it's fantastic)CastleVania: Aria of Sorrow 4/5 (loads to do, loads to see and some great bosses)
Chu Chu Rocket (loved it on the DC, not really had a chance to play it yet)
Eye of the Beholder: 3/5 (A bit tatty now, but still good fun)
Ghouls and Ghosts 4/5 (Rock hard, but one of my favourite games)
King of Fighters 3/5 (excellent conversion, but I prefer Alpha)
Mech Platoon (not played it yet)
Pinball of the DEad 4/5 (superb fun, but then I like pinball games)
Silent Scope 3/5 (surprisingly good conversion)
Street Fighter Alpha 3 4/5 (I still cant understand how Crawfish managed this)
Tetris Worlds (um, it's Tetris)

[dataDave]

My list of 5-*s

Advance Wars
Advance Wars 2
Metroid Fusion
F-Zero
Mario Kart
Golden Sun
Golden Sun II
Final Fight - JAP (Ultra hard mode with ALL those enemies on screen make it even better than the arcade version IMO, even if the phone boxes are missing)

We need to see a new Mario methinks. One with greater difficulty too.

Anyone out there playing/played Ninja Cop (aka Ninja Five-O in the States)?

Picked it up cheap from Game after reading some good reviews (eg. http://pocket.ign.com/articles/394/394456p1.html), and I'm really enjoying it. If you were a fan of the Shinobi games and Bionic Commandos you should definitely check this out...

[MonkeyWrench]

I keep meaning to pick up a copy as I've heard nothing but good things about it. I think I same go snag a copy this weekend.

Currently playing

Advance Wars 5/5 (really frustratingly annoying brilliance)
Yoshi's Island 4/5 (on the last world, just not good enough to complete it)
Sonic Advance 2 3/5 (Techno Base is the worst Sonic Zone ever
Mario Kart: Super Circuit 4/5 (the handling is just a bit too loose to allow you to really hug the corners)
