PSglow
My original PS2 has just played it's last game, and after giving it a fitting funeral with a baseball bat, I've decided to break down and buy a new one. I'm tired of the same old system though, I want something new...something unique. I was just wondering if you knew of any companies that currently modify ps2 consoles. Fancy paint, dazzling lights, the works.

--Mike

What you're looking for are cases and mods for the PStwo. You can get a new case that's transparent or silver or just cover it with decals so it looks like Matrix wallpaper. There are a few different companies that do this type of thing. Look up "pstwo mods" or "pstwo case" on Google or eBay and you should find what you're looking for.

Dr. Boll
I know this might not be specific to the ps2 channel of your fine website, but I thought this might be something you would be interested in getting behind. I know you get angry about a lot of things, Ivan, and I'm sure the recent Alone in the Dark movie fiasco hurt you all deep down inside. But aparently there is a whole community on the internet whose sole purpose is to get the word out on the man who is single-handedly ruining countless gaming franchises by making them into absolutely god-aweful films. This man is Uwe Boll. I came across this the other day after sifting through countless hate-filled pages of reviews for his movies. Please share this with the comunity. Consider it your duty as a decent, justice-loving human being.

--Cooper

Everyone is pretty much miserable about the body of work that Uwe Boll has created. Everyone, that is, except for Chris Carle over on our Guides channel. That man has an amazing capacity for utterly horrendous movies. He owns a copy of House of the Dead and I'm sure he's getting ready for the DVD release of Alone in the Dark just so that he has a copy of one of the lowest rated movies on Rotten Tomatoes.

I don't think this answers your question, but that petition you sent mentioned that he's in fact a Dr. Uwe Boll. This cinematic screw-up has managed to get a doctorate in literature? What in the high holy hell is that? So not only is he making pure trash, he must know it's garbage at the same time. It's like he is masterminding efforts that are like laser-guided mental missiles set to explode in the brains of people like Chris. Damn.

Wookiee Bash
I would like to see Riddick fight Chewbacca.

--Karnov
You ask and it shall happen right here. The results are pretty clear for anyone to see. Bald headed thugs rule the universe in the future.

After watching the new Sonic trailer. I'm simply wondering what's going on. Sonic & guns? It's almost as bad as sticking a knife in Mario's hand! The machine gun looks so out of place it is absolutely absurd! It looks exactly as the good old Sonic Adventure on the Dreamcast only this time they stick Shadow with a freaking gun. This isn't Ratched & Clank, it's a Sonic series game. WTF were they thinking?

--Renato

Ever since the new trailer of SEGA's new Sonic game, everybody's been hating on Shadow because of his gun. I farone think it's a great idea. Remember,it's not about Sonic, it's about Shadow. We all know he's badass, and you think the gun is bad? IGN,what do you think about the gun?

--Wilbert

I think they looked at Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, listened to some focus groups and went at it to appease the marketing department.

--Ed



Secretive
I was just wondering if you've heard any rumours or anything about a metal gear on playstation 3? Thanx

--Danny

Any rumors? None of those. But there was an official announcement that work has begun on Metal Gear Solid 4 for the next generation of consoles. So there's that for you.

--Ed



Elbow Attack!
Have you guys seen Ong-Dak: The Thai Warrior? It's fricking awesome. It's easily the best martial arts movie to ever come out. Way better than Jackie Chan or Bruce Lee. Just wondering what you thought of it. Now if we could get a videogame based on that..

--Jason

The action in Ong-Bak ruled, but the story and the editing? Who the hell follows up a couple of bad-ass fighters in the fight club with some numbskull who's fighting style is just to throw everything? And why is everything tripled? And why was there that retarded tuk-tuk chase scene?

But for anyone who wants to see some of the best martial arts in recent times they should check this out. I don't really care for a videogame of this since I'm not excited about elbowing everyone to death, but seeing Tony Jaa evade the thugs in the street is worth the admission alone and I want to see his next movie as soon as it's out.

--Ed



Snake vs. Spy
After SC:PT gets released, will there be some kind of Metal Gear vs. Splinter Cell feature? Or will there be some kind of Stealth game round table?

--Victor

For you, sure. It's a bit of apples and oranges since the game style is so very different, but we can spout some insane babble. That's what we do and we do it well.

--Ed



Franchise Raider
A read an article in some magazine (I can't remember which one) that in February some Tomb Raider 7 info was suppose to drop. Have y'all heard anything? Is this game still even being made? What does IGN stand for? All these question I hope will be answered! Thank you IGN for leading the way in Gaming coverage!

--ILG

Nothing announced so far. Crystal Dynamics is working on it and so we should expect some big differences. Or at least we hope so. After playing through a bit of Angel of Darkness we got so fed up that Ivan and I played disc baseball. On the first toss Ivan swung with our Grand Theft Auto III bat and smashed the offensive item into ridiculously small pieces. And then Jeremy got mad and we cleaned things up.

--Ed




God of Games
God of War looks like an interring game, but my dad won't let me get it when it comes out, because we're a Christian family and he says it looks offensive. I will always love me some Jesus, but I don't think God would be offended if I played this game...do you guys?

P.S. I know y'all might not be the right people to ask this too.

--Jake

You're not breaking any commandment that I know of. Now if you were sleeping with your neighbor's wife and torturing a small pig while you were playing the game that could be an issue. But there could be a technicality. Just be sure to read up on the Bible and memorize a random quote that makes it look like you're more religious and you should be fine.

--Ed



Zipped Up

I was wondering about socom 3 why is there nothing on zippers web page about it is socom 3 for real or are they just jaking us all around is there a date set yet for when it will be in stores.

--Jake

It's real. It's coming this fall. It'll be much better than SOCOM II.

--Ed



And then there was none…

All right, I'm going home because it's late and I'm tired and I need to go and make some sangria for a party. Be sure to e-mail Ivan and pester him about not doing the mailbag this week. The more profanity the better.
