No wink at all - if Rebellion do own Deathray then it's news to me.

But for I do have a rather shocking lack of attention to detail.
Be excellent to each other. And party on!

GAME and PLAY have it down as a 27/02/09 release date.  £29.99 but down to £24.99 - which is a good price for the game me thinks.  Hope it gets some good reviews and sells well.

I am guessing we've all seen this?

Ah, finally a reason to use one of those 'hip' internet acronyms that the young folk love so:  ROTFLMAO!

Same day as Killzone 2 and Halo Wars so i'll have to wait for a while to get this.

Think I might play through the PS2 version again for now.

i will await the reviews posted here on the game.
but i am tempted to up the purchase date for a WII based on this i must admit.

currently got a 360 but the idea of trying to get the financail controller(wife) to agree to a WII is never going to be an easy task.
I AM VERY BUSY!
PJ Maybe and I use the same dictionary, live with it.

NO 2000ad no life!

If you have a child it's easy. Just say you are buying the system for him/her and then when the Rogue Trooper comes out and you just happen to see it you are only really spending £25 on yourself.

Just checked my Play.com account and my order status has changed from, Preordered to Order Placed. It's that little bit closer to me battling on Nu Earth, sorry in my front room!

This arrived this morning and I'm enjoying it quite a lot. Only one small problem though, the wife has said I'll have to stop when tea is ready :angry:

How are the motion controls Commando? I've never got along with the wii-mote so I'm hoping there's not lots of needless arm-waggling. Really hoping this is the definitive version, if so I'll pick it up!

My purchase of this (and HOUSE OF THE DEAD: OVERKILL) have both been put back by at least six months because my mate has just announced his Stag Do is in April in Amsterdam.  

So I'll have to start saving for a trip to the Coffee Shops and Van Gogh Museum - he is the last of my group of International Playboys to get hitched - no more Stag Dos for me after this one. (UNtil Teenage Tips and Tin Tps get hitched, I suppose but I'll be sent home early on those).

(Me and Tiny Tips are still thoroughly enjoying METROID PRIME - Gamecube on Wii - though - graphics are outstanding for a five year old game).
Be excellent to each other. And party on!

I'm finding the controls excellent (I don't do much gaming so I'm not getting any cofusion with other games and their layouts) but the weirdest bit is using the Nunchuk to throw your grenades, as it says that you have to flick it to throw one. Also it feels a lot easier to move around than from what I remember from the PS2 when I last played that version.
The aiming is spot on and flicking from weapon to weapon is easy.
 I shall be having a large session on it later today just to really get used to the controls (as with all real men I never looked at the instructions but waded straight into the gameplay until I couldn't do certain things and then had a look) but from my initial couple of hours play I am very impressed with what Rebellion have done to make it Wii compatible.
One last thing, after watching the cinematic start to the game again, it really makes you want to see cartoon versions of the House of Tharg's characters but alas one can only dream!
