I don't play many games but I <3 Zelda I'm sure my children won't have to convince me too hard to buy this for them
The Legend of Zelda: Reborn
Well, now I know there are a few people on here interested in games, I can start posting games threads.
E3 has just finished (for non-gamer-types, E3 is a huge convention where all the big games announcements are made and stuff) and during the show, Nintendo shocked everyone by revealing the new Zelda game.
Now, previously everyone (including the supposedly in-the-know Gaming Press) thought the next Zelda game was going to be a sequel both in gameplay and visual style, to The Wind Waker. The shock is that it's not. It couldn't be further away from it.
It is infact going to feature an adult link, in a fully 3d, extremely detailed world (in a style similar to the demo they used to show of the Gamecube hardware before release). The trailers and pictures, which you can see Here, look simply amazing. Great stuff.
So, it looks like it will be similar to Ocarina on steroids. What more could an adventure-rpg fan want? Battles while riding a big, fast horse? Cool, because Nintendo have implemented that. In the trailers, Link is seen riding a horse that looks suspicously like Epona, and he actually battles while on the horse (against enemies that are riding Boars). Cool, or what?
So, any other Zelda fans in the house? I'm willing to bet there are.

Holy Mama!!!
If it looks that good.... well wild horses, that's all I'm gonna say!
I'm so glad they've made it look like a grown ups game. The whole look of wind waker put me right off buying it. This looks dark and exciting, the kind thing that could scare the pants of me when playing in the middle of the night in the dark! I only hope it's as good as it looks.
There are soooo many cool games on the way, just can't wait. Custom Robo, new Zelda, GoldenEye 2, second sight, pandora tomorrow... suddenly owning a cube is a good thing again!!

Halo was the most over rated piece of gaming tosh i've played in a long, long time.

Halo wasn't perfect and way too hyped, I'll agree, but the deathmatch seriously rocked and its successor just looks and sounds mind-blowing. Plus I love the concept of more instances of crazy little alien dudes screaming "He's coming! He's coming! Run away! Run awaaaay! We're all gonna die!!!" in unfeasibly high-pitched comedy voices... (just before I come and kill them all, that is!)

*ahem! *
*decides to post on topic* I never played Wind Walker (I don't own a 'cube) but I did enjoy Ocarina, so this sounds pretty groovy...

Firstly Halo deserved the hype it got, except the stuff about it being the only good game on the X-Box. The title of most over-rated FPS in history goes to Half-Life.
On-topic, it looks like Myamato has finally stopped telling gamers what they want and has started actually listening to what we say we want. Though don't expect to much, the game will still be aimed far to heavily at kids.

I've also not played The Wind Waker, nor Majora's Mask, so how did these differ from Ocarina?
windwaker, maye of looked like a kids game, but some of it was damn taxing!!
