I just bought Pro Evo 5 for 44 euro at a local store, as well as Iceman Cometh (Yuen Biao) for only 9 euro...

Never seen Iceman Cometh beforeth, so kinda curious...

Pro Evo takes alot of taking used to, especially if you've played Pro Evo 4 till death, as I did... not sure if I like it yet, but I've already read EVERYWHERE that everyone has that feeling when they just start out with 5, and it just takes some time getting used to...

hmmm... not sure... hope so though...

Very dissapointed many of the faces still look like utter shite btw.

Frank Miller Comics:
Batman: Return of the Dark Knight
Sin City - 1st Book

After having read Miller's 'Batman: Year One' I believe that he wrote the best Batman-stories. I was curious how his other 'Batman' comics are and hence got the one he made after 'Year One'.

Return of the Dark Knight, as well as year one, are both ace! (although while the artwork is 'good' (it has a unique style), it could have been much better...)

I like the artwork of 'Year One' very much. Awesome drawing style in my opinion.

What I liked even more about 'Year One' is that we see more from the POV of Gordon. Miller is an awesome storyteller. Short, but sharp and direct sentences.

Hey Yi-Long,

I have read the first 60 pages of 'Return of the Dark Knight' and the artwork isn't as good as it was in 'Year One'. The story is great so far.

I absolutely love the artwork of 'Year One' and understand why you kinda disliked the drawing style of 'ROTDK'.

Just recieved:

Spider-Man: The Venom Saga DVD (R2) from Play

slasher13 · Post by **slasher13** » 02 Nov 2005, 12:19

Thats an excellent 2 parter episode. Loved that, as well as the Sins of the Father which introduces Carnage

. Tell me what it like on Region 2 Grim? I have it on R1 which includes the original 60 cartoon.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 02 Nov 2005, 17:58

I think the R2 only has Stan Lee's soapbox and introductions.. not sure

On the front of the R2 it says "Contains additional material" and the runtime is 95 minutes.
What episode of the 60's cartoon does yours have? AFAIK the R2 has 5 episodes of the 90's series (should be the same as R1) "The Alien Costume" (Parts 1-3), "Venom Returns" and "Carnage" but I may be wrong, as sometimes the episodes are different like with the Villain Showdown disc on R1 containing a 60's episode but an extra 90's episode on R2.

Yeah, it was £4.99 on CD-Wow but of course I used a £1 voucher!

Play have some good bargains on other HKL DVDs - loads of them are only £5.99 each, including some of the newer releases! Now if only A Chinese Ghost Story 2 and Outlaw Brothers would come down in price...

I've also just ordered Delta Goodrem - Innocent Eyes CD from CD-Wow for £5.99.

Accidently ordered R1 Mulholland Drive from Amazon. Ah well $25NZD, fair enough price - I think the R4 is still $30-40NZD locally at most retailers. Plus the R1 has DTS, the R4 doesn't.

EvaUnit02 · Post by **EvaUnit02** » 10 Nov 2005, 10:14

R4 Batman SE for $15NZD.

IronMonkey · Post by **IronMonkey** » 10 Nov 2005, 21:31
