The Playstation magazine that was cancelled a couple years ago used to grade games on a similar scale. I remember several issues where nothing would score below 8/10.

I just got my hands on Metal Gear Solid 3: Substanance for real cheap.. £10 to be exact.

Do i resell it for profit or keep?

I was thinking about maybe getting Crackdown 2 (enough to pre-order it, at least), but playing the demo really turned me off. I imagine I'll stick with my $4 copy of the original.

I was really distracted by the three enemy indicators you have onscreen: the minimap, the tags on enemies in your line of sight, and the ludicrous radar overlapping the entire screen. I kept aiming for targets on the radar while getting shot six times a second by people at point blank range.

I wish Tetris Attack (SNES) was on the Virtual Console. Actually, I wish that Nintendo would release more stuff for it.

 

[Mattdotcom]

I'm sure there's some form of Tetris Attack on there. Maybe Pokemon Puzzle League. But Tetris Attack is the best.

edit - Yeah, of course the one that would cost the most is available.

I think they want 2000 points for that Tetris Party game...come ON!

 

[Thoth]

1200 points, I think. I actually gave it as a gift for one of the TSM Secret Santas.

Activisions can fuck off if they think I'm paying to play MP COD.... or for that matter, actually buying the next COD.

The rumor was squashed apparntly.

I know the Guitar Hero series has kind of lost its way over the years...but how in the world can you call a game Warriors of Rock and have Fall Out Boy in it???

I just bought my first laptop 2 weeks ago. Is it okay to keep it plugged in or will it kill the battery?

Thanks, I'm sure I'm not the first to ask.

 

[Smues]

I've always left mine plugged in and never has any issues.

 

[Psycho Penguin]

It's best to drain the battery out every month, but otherwise you shouldn't have problems. It actually lasts longer if you keep it plugged in, draining it on occasion.

If its a Li-ion its actually harmfull to do a monthly discharge. The suckers are a bastard to keep some longevity with.

Expect around 35% death in your first year because they dont like being at a normal laptop running temperature, and discharging can damage them invoking 10-20% loss per discharge.

Activision just really needs to stop with the Guitar Hero games. The games are getting pretty sad.

Anyone that hasn't bought the Overlord DLC for ME2 really should. It's a great little self-contained story that has quite an emotional impact.

 

[Sabre]

Theres a new DLC coming for ME2 that i think everyone will be getting.

Liara and Shepard team up to get the Shadow Broker.

I thought they'd be saving that for 3. I guess they're going epic for 3 and wants to get the little stuff out of the way.

What's a good antiv virus to use? AVG failed on my mom's computer again. It let another piece of malware in but the anti malware program got it.

Microsoft Security Essentials is still the best free product out there. Beats some paid products, in my opinion. You get real time threat coverage, which most free services don't give you.

So Xbox is having a game with fame with StarSlay3r in Super Street Fighter 4.

Fucking famewhore bitch isn't even good at that game, she ate at least two perfects from my Vega at the last tournament I went to. And she's the one with the fucking fame? Fuck you, no one likes you here in SoCal.

So I downloaded a GBA emulator for my android phone (sweet) for the sole purpose of playing the orginal pheonix wright games.

Only I can't because there was no English translation.

So, can anyone recommend something similar for the GBA, NES, SNES, Mega Drive, Game Gear or Game Boy Colour (I have emulators for all) that I can play on the move?

America needed this game.

Picked up Virtua Tennis 3 for a song from Movie Gallery.

Just got the #1 in the world in career and now will chip away at some achievements. I know they have a Virtua Tennis 2009 but I heard it was really nothing but a VT3 tune up. For $1.99 I am pretty happy.

For those of you who like Falcom games (I'm assuming the one or two of you), Ys 7 is being released on the 17th.

 

[DrVenkman PhD]

I don't know what any of that sentence means.

The AVGN Zelda II episode with all the ranting about the silly villain names was pretty good.

 

[Smues]

Any AVGN episode with the glitch gremlin is a bad AVGN episode. Beating Shadow Link with the Power Glove was good though.

 

[Haws Bah Gawd]

New AVGN was a good video, but holy shit he sucks at that game. Maybe its because I've played it so many times, but I've never found the game to be as difficult as he did. The glitches looked fun. I've never tried any of those.

 

[Kageho]

I don't know what any of that sentence means.

I was saying that I doubt more than one or two people know of Falcom and of its flagship series, Ys, to care about what I announced.
