    Jar Jar Binks Gets Beaten Up On The New York Subway

    There are too many nutters in the world to assume the guy getting in your face is acting just cause his friend has a camera. I've been in that sort of situation before but instead of a jar jar mask it was one guy and his friend. One talking and walking like Begbie and the other talking and...

    Hardware Review: Sharkoon X-Tatic 5.1 Headset

    They look exactly like my Speedlink Medusa 5.1s and the Tritton AX360s I had before them (colour schemes not-with-standing). If the picture is accurate they should be adjustable. The Medusa set cost circa £50 and the AX360s circa £80 three years ago. $160 seems steep. Shop around. I rarely...

    Hard-To-Find games you have

    Planescape: Torment, Terra Nova, Fallouts 1+2, Shadow of the Colossus (Cardbord box), Hostile Waters, Giants Citzen Kabuto, Grim Fandango. I've spent far too much on video games for 15 years now.

    Modern Warfare 2 Not Banned in Russia, Says Activision

    Sorry, but Saddam had absolutly nothing to do with 9/11. bin Laden did not like Hussain because Iraq did not have Sharia Law. There is not an even slight terrorist connection between the two. Also, I'm English.

    Edge Returns to the App Store as Edgy - UPDATED

    This isn't a PR disaster for him. PR is irrelevent to him, he hasn't got anything to sell. PR only matters if the public's opinion can help or harm you. What are we going to do? Boycott his games?

    Modern Warfare 2 Not Banned in Russia, Says Activision

    ------SPOILERS------ Actually, I thought the Americans were evil all the way through. Not you understand the grunts you defend Washington with (honorable but gung-ho/jingoistic) but when you've got extremists doing extremist type things and one is a govenment agent it changes slightly from...

    Modern Warfare 2 Trailer Criticized For "Going Too Far"

    It seems to me that he should have started shouting when Independence Day was released or, since he a Cristian Science Monitor writer, Resistance: Fall of Man and it's Manchester Cathedral bit. I do think that the Halo ads go to far but only because it seems to equate game violence to actual...

    ESA Oppose Idea of Universal Media Ratings

    This is impossible, parents would have to buy everygame their kids wanted. Kid wants GTA4, God of War or Halo 3? You'd have to buy all three, play them for five minutes, decide that GTA has too much swearing for your 13 year old but is mostly just driving around. Halo 3 is okay and God is a...

    Poll: Stalker Clear Sky more Fallout then Fallout 3?

    I played both 2d Fallouts last year with the resolution mod. They're still better than most non-Bioware RPGs. General brown-ness not-with-standing. Post patch Stalkers are dripping with atmosphere though, true.

    Sims 3 Leaked Online

    Actually you're not supposed to boil water for coffee, the grounds get burn and it throws the whole taste off. Most "bad" coffee you'll probably find has been boiled or old and stale. On topic, I am downloading it and if I like it or play for more than ten hours I will buy it. I try to...

    Far Cry 2 DRM Confirmed

    Actually I can live with this. I buy all my games and protecting DVD's and being able to play the games far into the future are basically my only requirements from DRM. A lot of the people shouting about internet access will have bought HL2 and Portal so their opinion is immediatly invalid...

    You have 700 billion dollars...

    Horde it. Keep it to my self. And/or sue Fox into the floor. Maybe make friends with Hugo Chavez (it'd be hard, him not liking the rich west so much), investigate and protect whistleblowers. Buy Sony's PSP arm and get some good games made (not 3d shooters unless I release a revision with two...

    The Force Unleashed Coming To PC (Or Not)

    Not happening. RPS just retracted it. Damn and blast.

    Abandoned - Games you love which have been left behind.

    Anyone said Outcast yet? Also ditto on the System Shocks, the LBAs, the Battlezones, the NOLFs, the Deus Exs and Tachyon. Also demos of most of Khell's list. Intravenous nostalgia. Albion, I think, is on Home of the Underdogs.

    Nvidia: PC Exclusives Are Dead

    This is silly. If we're talking about games without qualifying that (i.e AAA/big publisher games) the PC will always have more exclusives than any single console or even single console generation. The number of indie developers is increasing insanely quickly and PCGamerUK did a "free year of...
