Haha yeah. I saw an article about that site some month ago. They wrote something about the fact that the founders started this because they noticed that gamers also have needs and often used the "Date a gamer" service only for more "casual" contacts.

JSR HD is a weak port (mainly because of awful performance), but that's still not enough to put this masterpiece down. It's such an amazing game that even playing the demo is awesome. I need to get the full version somehow...

People don't give JSRF enough credit, it does some things worse (can't say I ever liked the hold button to grafitti idea, that should have perhaps been an option) but it lets people have the arcade timed experience in robs missions and allows people to explore. Plus it gave better speed option in boosting and grind combos.

I've got all three, between the PS3 and 360 version the PS3 has better sound, the 360 has better performance (even though the lighting has this crazy weird contrast) and the PC version is the true JSR HD.

PC version being the best is obvious. I'll live with the PS3, though. Oh, and the contrast on X360 is a problem of its architecture. The same thing happened with VF5FS. Go to DF at Eurogamer if your want to know the details. Most people don't notice the difference with their badly tuned TVs, but I'm actually extremely careful when it comes to colours, gamma settings and D65 standard.

Not liked a single thing Rare has made since N64. N & B looked pretty but hated it. I ave the first on N64 always have had Tooie on the list. Just not seen it in the wild yet.

I only like women with short hair and strong features, and men with long hair and soft features.

I guess I wasn't aware of the general opinion on one game versus the other, but yeah, I liked JSRF better too. Not that JGR was bad; it was obviously excellent. JSRF just shined it up, was more open, and offered (in my eyes) more appealing design work almost all around.
If only it weren't for that goddamn Birthday Cake song.
Curse that damnable song.
At least JGR had Dragula.
