GR Mailbag: More Sought After Than The Holy Grail

if sonic and knuckles got into a fight who do you think 
would win and i don't mean a boxing match i mean hardcore 
battle royal like in UFC 

Sonic...Knuckles...fighting? Now that's not very smurfy. They just need to smurf down and smurf out. Smurf a bowl of smurf, until they're feeling so smurfy that fighting would just be so unsmurf.

P.S. In the Bay Area, you can find the best smurf on the corner of 82nd and Smurf.

i have been a big fan of yours for about two years now 
i have sent you guys more than 50 cheats none have been posted 
i go through a lot of trouble getting a chance to play these 
games (stores,freinds,youthcenters,buying,etc.). it takes alot 
of time to discover these cheats(4-5 hours)many people would 
like these and i feel that i am not getting recognized i have 
not recieved any e-mails from you like your message says after 
sending cheatsi have sent you 4 cheats today for medal of honor 
please take consideration to thess i dont like buying games 
and spending valuable time for no reason
-koOlguyMcGuire
p.s.
can i have a free game????????please????? i never win your 
contest please?????????????

I have an idea. Why don't you buy your games to play and have fun and entertain yourself? Buying games to find codes just so you can send them to a game site seems a little odd.

However, I could be wrong. I've been wrong before...once.

Could you guys start doing more reviews for MAC games. 
I mean like Rainbow Six, Sim City 3000 and stuff. With the 
G4 out a lot of companies are starting to port over games 
to the Mac. And well Im mad that you do not do any newer 
MAC games. Well that is all I have to say.
-Big Mac Ethiopia

Sure! You want Mac reviews? No problem. Make the check for $4000 out to Game Revolution. Those G4s ain't cheap, ya know.

-GR

P.S. If I owned a G4, I'd feel like I needed to use it to find the cure for AIDS or something. You don't spend 4 grand on a machine, play Sim City 3000 on it and expect to sleep well at night.

P.P.S. There is something terrifying about the name Big Mac Ethiopia.

Dear GR,
The reason why i'm writing this to you, is to tell you
about a cool idea.
The idea is that you guys should talk to Activision
and Neversoft to tell them to make a an RPG Tony Hawk
Pro Skater game......(you know level 1 u learn a
shovet, level 2 you learn a kickflip, level 3 a
heelflip,etc..)
It should be called THPS RPG

Yeah! And Tony could have a big, fluffy, flying howler monkey sidekick named Zuffie. They could travel the land searching for the sacred skateboard, collecting holy skate gems shaped like trucks.

Or how about Betty Ford: The Adventure Game? You get to play a strung-out, crack junkie gamer who is trying to get admitted to the Betty Ford clinic.

-GR

P.S. I see you have mastered that game already.
