@Outkastprince: Virgo and I can't stand puzzle games other than Tetris and Bust-a-Move. Read more

@ClaudioIphigenia: I had fun with it for a while, but then found myself using the same items to clear each level. Once the challenge was gone, the lack of any real storyline left me with nothing to look forward to. Read more

@flembot-uk: Due to a severe case of what I've started calling 'Shiny Toy Syndrome", I upgraded from a 2000 to a Go and I've gotta say I greatly prefer the 2000. Read more

@methan69: OoT's Water Temple is the reason why I bought my first strategy guide. I won't use a guide to get every last heart piece or anything, just to get past a particularly hard puzzle. Or, as is more often the case, to point out the glaringly obvious solution that I managed to completely miss. Read more

I've never really put much thought into how rare of an occurrence this really is. I mean I've always thought Nintendo had a bit of a skewed view of the world if they thought this would actually happen all the time, but come to think of it I've only even seen someone using their DS in public maybe 7 or 8 times since… Read more

@ShDragon: I like the idea of a "Games You Absolutely Must Play Day". My brother and I trade off games to play/movies to watch all the time but rarely ever get around to actually doing it, maybe if we set a day aside for it we'd get it done. A few weeks ago we decided that I would play through Modern Warfare 2's… Read more

@天: Ah Lady Yunalesca, my old nemesis. It took me two years to give that game another shot because of her. Read more

How I handle the situation really depends on the type of game and how much I've enjoyed it up to that point. Read more

@jamuszero: I think the point he was trying to make wasn't that older games were better, but rather today's games have lost a sense of exploration and wonder by telling you everything you can do and showing you when and where to do them instead of letting you figure it out for yourself. Read more

@peAr nectAr: Phantom Hourglass's Link and Zelda/Tetra were the same as the ones in Wind Waker, and as far as I know it's the same with Spirit Tracks, taking place a relatively short time after the events of the previous titles. Read more

@chamoo232: I see, that almost makes me glad mine doesn't have backwards compatibility...almost. Read more

@jkthunder: Do you have a slim PS3? The only time I'll notice any noise from my non-slim PS3 is when the room is dead silent. My 360 is far louder. Read more

@indyit: The way I see it they are actually experimenting with the Uncharted series, just not so much in terms of gameplay. With the Crash series they toyed with new level designs, Jak they went for a larger scale, then to an open world adventure. Read more

@D-K, Anarchist: A couple of mouses nerdraging at 3 am playing WoW. Then there was the time I went outside and chucked a GameCube controller over a Mario Party match (I had a pretty competitive relationship with the buddy I was playing with). Read more

@geiko: That remote is easily one of the best console accessories I've ever purchased. I watch a lot of movies on my PS3 and even though I'm used to the controller, the remote just seems easier to use. I've even begun using it to browse the Playstation Store instead of a controller. Read more

@indyit: If I remember correctly, after Uncharted 1 they were going to work on a new Jak game but decided to put it on hold to work on Uncharted 2 instead. Personally, as much as I'd like to see a new Jak, I can't wait for Uncharted 3. Read more

@That's What She Said: I've got 1000/1000 on Resident Evil 5 and Madden 06 (although I really shouldn't count that as it's insanely easy). Read more

@pasteypete: Older models don't have HDMI. The elite was the first variation to include it and all newer versions have it now. Read more

@Chestnut Bowl: Read more

@NDBRN: Being forced to be more responsible and needing to be more responsible aren't exactly mutually exclusive. Were they pressured into shaping up a bit, probably (okay, yes they were), but that doesn't mean responsibility wasn't needed. Read more
