    Retro Gaming Is So 2008

    You wanted to try out retro gaming and you went for PC Engine and Neo Geo, two systems that almost no one owned? (except for PC Engine of course... IN JAPAN) Then you proceed to play some hair metal game and World Heroes? Christ, no wonder why you had a bad experience. Amiga, C64, NES, and...

    Is Microsoft Considering Non-Gaming Achievements?

    Achievements are pretty pointless anyways. You get them for starting the game, you get them for completing the first level, you get them for doing some mind-numbingly easy task fifty times... if this can help generate even more ridiculous amounts of revenue, then more power to the Micro$oft...

    Zero Punctuation: Thief: The Dark Project

    Great review! I got scared there for a while with the Tomb Raider and GoW *YAWN* reviews. The Thief games are great.

    New Zelda on the block?

    Hey guys, hey guys! They should make a Zelda set in the far, far future, with blasters and titanium skyscrapers. And you play a guy named Link who has amnesia but has worked for Ganoncorp for the past few years. Then you work your way up and finally meet Mr. Ganon the big boss and he has special...

    New Zelda on the block?

    Not only does it not sound like you've never played the old Sonic games, it doesn't seem you know what on-rails means. It means your character is stuck to a single path and can't deviate from it at all (An on-rails shooter, the current Sonic games). Everything you just described about Mario was...

    New Zelda on the block?

    Fine. It's not an RPG. Now, did you want to comment on something meaningful that I said? .... RPG: huge world, dungeons and puzzles, upgrading your gear, characters that don't and a storyline that doesn't pigeonhole your imagination

    Video Game Cover Art Gets Classy

    Some of these are really good, mainly Moss' and the ones you linked to, but most are just random stuff photoshopped together in no real artistic or meaningful way. Still, it's an interesting idea.

    New Zelda on the block?

    Yes, I made that entire post just so I can get into an argument about what constitutes an RPG. Thank you for understanding.

    New Zelda on the block?

    I don't know why this thread has generated so much 'don't change a thing' talk. Change is good, and the Zelda formula has been getting a little stale. But there's a different between good change, that introduces tweaks and the like to the classic formula, and bad change, where Zelda slices out...

    New Zelda on the block?

    That's fucking hilarious and yes, Legend of Princess is amazing. I felt this way too. Originally TP looked poised to take the game into a whole different direction story wise, but ended up being the most shallow of all. It was a fun game, but an unfortunate one. Why would your scenario...

    What is your all-time favorite megaman stage?

    Gemini Man. You've got the music, the setting, the awesome illusionist boss, and plus the Protoman cameo. It was also one of the more difficult stages, IIRC.

    New Zelda on the block?

    Only if they get the same quality dubs as other Japanese to English games. This... I agree with. He was great in Ocarina of Time. A true villain. You want to jerk it to the Princess of Hyrule? Anyways, you seem to have missed the part where he's fighting to save the entire world...

    There Will Be Brawl: Episode One

    Seconded. I thought it was supposed to be funny but am pleasantly surprised that it's more of a dark, gritty drama, and entirely ridiculous at the same time. The actors are great - the only thing that needs changing is the Princesses' eyebrows (They're way too dark for a blonde... It makes...

    Everyone's Favorite Crutch

    Are the PS2 versions of God of War really so different from the PSP one that QTE are actually enjoyable? I recently picked up a PSP and thought GOW: Chains of Olympus looked great. It's $40 though, and I've never played the PS2 ones so I gave the demo a shot. I'm not buying it. Those QTE's...
