    Games you still play well when sloshed.

    Aside from the usual Rock Band, I do pretty well in the Forza Motorsport series when inebriated. The driving line really helps when you're seeing double :P Also, Street Fighter IV, for some reason my inputs are much smoother and if I rely on my reactions instead of trying to out think my...

    Rage Cuts Single-Player When You Buy It Used

    Oh well... I guess I'll just have to wait for the inevitable Steam sale to purchase your game id. Probably when it hits $25. I'm not going to support this kind of practice with a full priced purchase.

    What ever happened to space sims?

    Space sims lost their audience when computers were capable of rendering more than a few ships and a star dome. Don't get me wrong, I loved Wing Commander/Privateer and X-Wing/Tie Fighter, but the instant racing sims gained some graphical and physical fidelity, the genre pretty much died out...

    Games That Disappointed You...

    Gran Turismo 5 This is what I've been waiting for? WTF? 90% of the cars are copy/paste jobs from GT4 and GTPSP. Credits are very hard to come by, the non-premium models (90% of the total cars in the game) can only be bought from the used car dealership, so you have to keep checking the...

    Suda 51's new game Lollipop Chainsaw. Does this sound amazing to anyone else?

    OMG my wife is going to love this news! Also, yes, I am stoked too...

    what do your Parents think about Video games?

    My parents are pretty old so they don't really understand video games that much. My Mom always said it was a waste of time and my Dad wasn't really impressed until the current generation of consoles. Now that I'm a parent, I've tried to use games as a positive force with my son. I taught...

    how much have you spent on gog games

    Maybe about $15 give or take. I bought the original Witcher for $10 and Wing Commander: Freelancer for $5-ish? I want Freespace 2 but lack a decent flight stick to play it with. Would it work with a 360 controller?

    Poll: Have you ever spent money on a "Free to Play" MMO?

    I have about 40 hours in Global Agenda and levelled a few characters, but I can't see myself paying for anything. None of the classes interest me enough to play one exclusively and it's really only an XP/loot boost and the use of the auction house so I can't be bothered. At least it doesn't...

    Have you ever bought a game you knew nothing about and upon playing it found it to be AWESOME?

    I can still remember the day I got my first NES game. My parents said I could have any one they had, but I had to choose quickly. I immediately went for the familiar blue boxes from CAPCOM, having played Mega Man 1 and 2 at my cousin's house and wanting Strider, but the store didn't have it...

    Games you love but sometimes hate the fellow fans of.

    Forza/Gran Turismo fanboys suck. Can't we all play our Pokemon with cars and be happy? *sigh*

    Going through my backlog

    You could probably get through DR2, Brutal Legend and CoD4 in a weekend, so I'd start there. Unless you're all about achievements, then it will take longer. Aside from that I'd hit up GTAIV next (I enjoyed the ending) as you're "almost done" that one too. Then start playing your story...

    Poll: Am I the only one that misses Megaman?

    I can always use some more Megaman. I'd love to see Capcom make some more downloadable retro style games like Megaman 9 and 10 only in the 16 bit style from the SNES days. Also I'd like to see a "what if?" Megaman game in the original style, but in 32 bit sprites, as if the PS1 era was...

    WHY are used video games bad?

    Goods don't work that way. A painter who sells his painting in a gallery for $100,000.00 can do nothing when the person it was sold to sells it on for $1,000,000.00, the painter is not entitled to any of the profit made by the seller as it is no longer their painting. If the buyer wants to use...

    That game series/franchise you used to love, that you think have destroyed themselves?

    Need for Speed. After Porsche Unleashed it really went downhill fast. Introducing a story mode in Underground pretty much started to put the series in the grave, Pro-Street was just shoveling dirt on a corpse. EA can't quite figure out what to make out of NfS, so instead they simply pump out...
