People, listen. He has not paid for the game. Play do not charge until orders are actually sent. I think a quick look at a bank statement will confirm this. And even if he has been charged, it does not give him the right to download a pirate copy of the game - he has paid for the right to...

This. Couldn't have put it better myself - you're in the wrong and there's plenty you could have done before resorting to downloading it.

I'm actually kind of surprised that no-one on The Escapist is talking about Skate 2. I completely agree Fightbulb, the gameplay is just delicious. The walking does the job but isn't great, but apart from that it's outstanding, just a near perfect refinement of the first game. Soooo satisfying...

I'm sorry, I didn't realise these things needed mod approval - there is nothing in the posting guidelines to that effect. No-one had made a Skate 2 thread, so I made it. Anyway. Nice to see Thrasher get a mention on here, it was such a brilliant game. Flawed, but a great alternative to...

No idea - you'd have to just give it a try I suppose. I never had any trouble with ePSXe though.

EPSXE is decent, and can probably achieve the best overall results. However, this requires quite a bit of tweaking with plugins and their associated configurations. For simplicity, I use PSX. I find it to be very fast and accurate with most games, and there's basically no configuration to do...

Brilliant games, they were just astounding at the time.

So, the demo came out yesterday. Any thoughts? Personally, I wasn't disappointed at all, even if it was a little short. The fisheye lens is a little intrusive, hopefully it can be turned off. Apart from that, it's everything I hoped it would be. Still feels great just to roll around trying...

True. I've seen a lot of posts in this thread saying "hmm, I was on the fence about this game, now I definitely won't buy it." Guys, since when did Yahtzee actually like a game? That line of thinking could cost you some of the most fun you'll have with a game this year. I absolutely love...

Counterpoint - you could throw a dart at a world map, fill that location with zombies and monsters, make everything foggy, dark, and uncomfortable, and it would still be scary. Honestly, just try it. Pick any country - Norway, Japan, Mexico, France, Greece, anywhere. You can make it scary just...

No, the sense of dread is created by zombies. Zombies that are trying to kill you. If you think that images of an African city are meant to create a sense of dread and a desire to fight, something might be wrong with you. Again, no. Zombies elicit dread and disgust, not Africans or their...

I remember when I first started playing games online. First it was Doom over my Dad's office LAN, then it was Duke Nukem 3D and MUD2 on dial-up. I got hooked on it quite early on, and it's still a lot of fun despite running into the occasional disagreeable individual. Good luck mate :)

A very good point. However, I truly believe that Deus Ex is timeless and appeals to old and new fans alike. I still get the same thrill when I play it now as I did back then. I'd be really interested to see what you think of it.

I'm a huge fan electronic music, but I cannot stand The Chemical Brothers. I find it very frustrating that they are constantly looked up to as one of the best examples of the genre, because I honestly think they are one of the most over-rated and unrepresentative bands of all time. It's...

Counterpoint: Deus Ex.
