Resident Evil 2? NGE 64?

I think you mean "one of the few". :)

Those 3 plus one or two others are the only games with FMV. It's one of them. It's one of the only.

on·ly (ōn'lē) pronunciation
adj.

1. Alone in kind or class; sole: an only child; the only one left.
2. Standing alone by reason of superiority or excellence.

adv.

1. Without anyone or anything else; alone: room for only one passenger.
2.
1. At the very least: If you would only come home. The story was only too true.
2. And nothing else or more: I only work here.
3. Exclusively; solely: facts known only to us.
4.
1. In the last analysis or final outcome: actions that will only make things worse.
2. With the final result; nevertheless: received a raise only to be laid off.
5.
1. As recently as: called me only last month.
2. In the immediate past: only just saw them.
You mean one of the few.

You can use "one of only (x number of things)" or "one of a few" but not "one of the only". It doesn't make sense.

Strange, the site you linked didn't say it was wrong, just that it would make some readers raise their eyebrows. I'm surprised you didn't razor your wrists as well.

Um, last week was...
Art of Fighting 2 (NeoGeo) - 900 pts.
Ninja Commando (NeoGeo) - 900 pts.
No Wii-Ware last week.


Today was two Wii-Ware games.
SPOGS Racing - 1000 points.
Pirates:Key of Dreams - 1000 points.

Pirates is some sort of multiplayer shooter type game? Apparently it's quite good.

SPOGS is from all accounts, absolutely terrible.

Yeah I looked last week, but then the walk to my computer was like... a few feet and I really couldn't be bothered walking that far... especially when I think I had received We Love Golf or something like that.

Oh yeah, on why there is no C64 games anywhere but Europe. They are emulating the home console version of the C64, not the PC version. The console was only released in Europe. So there you go. It was a dismal failure, probably due to the inability to pirate software. Why buy a system if you can't get free games huh?

here is some info on it for the boffins

1000 points per ep... hrmm... $15 australian...

It would work out cheaper to just buy the season pack for your PC. Although it would be nice to play it on my tv with the wii remote.
