Voting for Electropankton could gave the game a welcome boost in sales as it so deserves


Mike Gee of iZINE said, "...The Verve, as he [Richard Ashcroft] promised, had become the greatest band in the world. Most of the critics agreed with him. Most paid due homage. The Verve were no longer the question mark or the clich�. They were the statement and the definition."

Hence it says 'user generated soundtrack'. You generate the soundtrack from the samples provided on most of them, so I think it's a valid entry. Certainly got my vote. Smilie

Oh woops, didn't read the whole line. I just saw names beside the games and just stopped looking at the brackets after Ghost Recon.

Hmm- never touched this game (or used a d-pad on it, for that matter) but good to hear anything nintendo being promoted.
