NG:S before Lair/Sword unless I'm confused. But yes, Super Rub a Dub looks pretty sweet. Ok, I'm full of shit it looks as gay as any Wii game.
What genre is Super Stardust?
I downloaded the GII Trailer THINKING it was a next gen game. I completely forgot that there was an old school GII. Not worth the 4.99 to play it on the big screen. Not worth DL'ing the trailer really and that was free.
Any software updates? Any word of upscaling fix? Sorry I'm on the road for work and won't get to update my PS3 until Friday.
Wasn't the Area 51 game on Xbox and PS2 supposed to accomplish this? Apart from having David Ducovny as the protagonist and Marilyn Manson as the villain, this game barely appeared on the geek radar (it did amuse me for awhile, but no longevity).
I just don't trust the title 'Area 51' in gaming now.
