That's the Steve Niles one, isn't it? It looked interesting, but I've got limited funds so I never went for it - could you post a bit of a review?

No, not the Steve Niles ones. See the Fourthrail review below.

Title: Looking to trade: US Gamecube for a UK Gamecube
Post by: Red Alarm on 03 February, 2004, 05:04:37 AM
Let's just say I got in a bit over my head in regards to importing games.  Currently, 80% of my games are in the PAL format, and a few of them just refuse to play on my US (NTSC) Gamecube (even with a Freeloader, sadly).  Shoulda know this before I bought the thing, eh?

Anyway, the Gamecube system I have is less than 2 months old (bought on December 19, 2003).  It's black, and comes with one controller, RGB cables, and a power cord.  I also have the original box and instructions in flawless condition.  In short, like new, and exactly as it was when I bought it.

Honestly, I'm just looking to trade someone systems.  If anyone out there feels like swapping me their UK system for my US one, please post here and I'll send you the details (pics, etc).  Hopefully we can work something out :-)

Thanks for looking!!

Cheers for the link, Marbles - it certainly looks worth a shot (BTW - the Steve Niles comic I was thinking of was "Wake The Dead")

I've been championing this book since issue 1 (which just proves no one ever reads a word I put :P ). What I liked was the way that it focuses on the survivers and what they have to do to survive, rather than just showing us zombie gor. Mind you there is some, but it's not constant and is much more effective for that. The little touches also help the book along. oing for the police uniform, forgetting to take off his rucksack before jumping between buildings (hope these aren't sploilers) and such instances that show that a lot of thought has gone into the book.

PVS? You had a look yet? Oh, and the first trade is in the latest Previews at a pretty nifty $9.95!

Alan!

I know, I know I should stop being so bloody apethetic and buy it!  I think I'll wait for the trade paperback though as I'm behind.

I've become so sick of comic books I think it's become ingrained in me :)  I will take a look Alan, I promise.
