Aha!  I knew there had to be somebody here .  I still use it very frequently, and I'm active on Tapland and ZG.  I'm actually working on a new homebrew title for it at the moment, which should be out this month.  I'll post a link when it's available .

That's too bad, the Zod still rocks!

Just curious if there's any Tapwave Zodiac owners on the forum.  I've spent a fair amount of time on Tapland Forums and the Zodiac Gamer Forums.  Maybe there's some folks from those places here?

In any case, it be cool to know other Zod fans in this place for some Zod related conversation .

Maybe we should start this thread over as a POLL...?

I had a chance to catch the Heroes marathon on SciFi this week, and it was great .  I missed the new episode on Friday though .

Still trying to figure out what other channels show it...  but yes, it's very compelling I think.  And it's just starting to get good .  The first four or five episodes were just teasers almost, but now the plot's starting to unravel.

Okay, so yes I'm another Wii contest signer-upper.  But who knows, I'll probably still look for a good Wii forum, and this one might be it .  So, hi folks, and now I'm off to update my profile ^_^.

Well, just don't set your expectations too high.  In case the reviews are right.  If you keep your expectations low, and expect the game to be utter garbage though, you may be pleasantly surprised .

A new review of Red Steel was posted this morning on Bonuspoints blog here: http://bonuspoints.livejournal.com/

This one is actually much more detailed and overall a better review than what Kotaku put together.  I'd be curious what you have to say in response to this one, Ray.  I also took the liberty of quoting some of your post in a comment on that review.

Thank you Ray, that was very informative actually.  I agree that reviewers tend to get a little too picky with games.  I personally tend to have a much more tolerant view when it comes to games that others think of a bad.  Sound like I may enjoy Red Steel after all, which I'm glad to know is still a possibility .

What I'm curious to know is whether the multiplayer is as fun as the YouTube video makes it look like.

Ray, I would be curious to hear your opinion on the above review from Kotaku.  They seem to be presenting a solid enough argument as I see it.  But you are also the first person to speak decently of the game, so I am certainly inclined to take that seriously.

Just in case nobody caught it, Kotaku had a good post on Red Steel here:

It's too bad really, I was kind of excited about this one.  I guess I'll have to wait for Red Steel 2.
