I think the current assumption is that the xbla games at least will be backwards compatible. If the new console can play 360 games then I bet it can play the downloaded versions of those as well. Everything MS is doing (accumulating of gamerscore, persistant friends list, etc) makes me think that they will use every… Read more
If you trade something in to gamestop and get chump change you're doing it wrong. Amazon trade-ins are incredibly fair - almost generous. I got Skyrim new for $45 and traded it in 3 months later for $34. I got LA Noire at release and traded it in months later for $38. And of course you can use the credit on anything,… Read more
going to become? I think that ship has sailed. Read more
3:41 - one of the 'featured voices' is Maurice LaMarche - I assume the same as from Futurama. Small world! Read more
Could it be the 'storify' embed that he is using is blocked in your browser or region? Read more
Wow, who cares? Oh no, we might not get to see the trailer for the game you want us to buy? This is why I won't join facebook (well, one of the many reasons). Go to hell, I'm not doing your advertising for you. I would be amused to no end if that meter barely budged until it just mysteriously disappears one day… Read more
Dark Forces II - there is a part where you are going through some kind of sewer/tunnels, then you come out to a giant open area you have have you force run/jump over and the classic star wars music swells. I remember saying, out loud, 'Heh, I have a bad feeling about this' and then damn if Kyle Katarn didn't say that… Read more
Wait, Sega remembers they made Skies of Arcadia? Well, no matter - they'll forget again soon enough. Read more
So, I haven't purchased any sort of 'game of the year' edition of a console game yet. Does it come with all the content unlocked and on the disk, or is it just the standard game plus a bunch of codes you have to type in to redeem and download the extra dlc content? Read more
No, it doesn't help the wait one bit. The Diablo series has always left me cold but I played a ton of Torchlight. Torchlight 2 shall be no different. Read more
DEET-KA! Read more
That's funny, between the time I saw the article on the main page and clicking through to the full article Minnesota had switched over from blue to green. Pretty neat idea! Read more
Wow, that's a deep reference to the Rifts RPG. And very apt. Read more
You just descibed every euro/german style boardgame ;) Read more
That's the ultimate case mod. Read more
Honestly I've been pretty much driving Ferraris almost all the time. I think the F430 is my most driven car. When I was doing B class races it was mostly the Ford Focus RS, and when pushing up into the R2 races I really like the Mazda Furai - that thing sticks to the road like glue; handles amazingly. Once you start… Read more
Yeah, what Delta438 said. Gears on insane is truly insane. What that really means is that all the normal stuff is pretty hard and then a few spots (like 5-6 over the whole campaign) you might spend an hour or more trying to pass without getting cheaply one-shotted. And the final boss fight — holy crap. It's really… Read more
Hey, nice to see you still digging into Forza. In those Rivals events, the first 'rival' time you go against will always be the lowest one on the leaderboard which is invariably some guy screwing around trying to get the most ludicrously bad time possible. So after you beat the first Rival then you will start getting… Read more
