Could someone upload and link to that Ivy wallpaper pic full size? The largest I have is 1200x1800 and it's really not that good quality.
ReverendGadgetBoy @ Oct 7th 2007 9:41PM
1800 x 1200 is pretty damn good. There must be another reason the quality isn't great.

Rev, don't be silly; how is Mr. P expected to masturbate to Ivy's picture at 1800x1200 resolution?
Mr. P @ Oct 7th 2007 10:04PM
Well it's only half as big as the image they used for the wallpaper, and it's way blurrier (crappy compression). Namco's gotta have some kind of site where they upload these images for the press. I've never been able to find it though!

i heard that the jap review of lair made the same comments about the shitty controls, yet the final rating number was way higher than the american reviews
i guess they really do like their shitty games over there? weird

im guessing they reviewed Lair after playing the game with the 1.92 update. the update reduced the lag time of the motion sensing for all PS3 games. Lair is actually playable now with the update. and other games like MotorStorm that use motion sensing work great now.

i love how stuffs like the sonic and mario at the olympic games and this new "smash copy" mode from sonic rivals 2 http://www.gametrailers.com/player/26054.html is making all those "but if he appeared in a game like smash and appeared with mario .. so he can appear in smash" and at the same time "but if he appeared in a game like smash and appeared with mario .. he won't need to appear in a smash like game with mario" xD
