    Poll: Oblivion Was Better

    A friend and and I discussed this a while back and we came to where conclusion that skyrim isn't worse than oblivion, it just isn't anywhere near as memorable. We could both recall, at least 4 years since either of us had played the game, almost all of the dark brotherhood and thieves guild...

    BioShock Infinite Review: A Head in the Clouds

    Metroid Prime would like to disagree with this statement. While Bioshock was a great game its nowhere near deserving of this title, not with competition like Deus ex and system Shock 2. But that's marketing for you, don't include something for a little difference just to give yourself an...

    Rumor: System Shock 2 Coming to GOG

    It's actually the most requested game on GoG PERIOD, and has been since day one. Not only did they want a lot of money but they wanted to keep the rights to the ip and wanted a significant cut of the profits, and since ea owns the trademark meant that no developer could afford it and no...

    Intel Strategy Shuts Out PC Enthusiasts

    Its unlikely to happen for a number of reasons. First of all is that Broadwell, Haswell and many of Intels other architectures show a reaction to the changing market, i.e. a massive spike in the demand for low power, ultra mobile chipsets for mobile devices such as phones, tablets and even...

    Rumor: S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Canceled, GSC Game World Closed - UPDATED

    much as i would love that to be true i doubt its the case. if they wanted to drum up hype all they had to do was release some of the concept art, maybe a trailer, and thats about it for this point in the games development. that tactic worked for gog because they werent developing a game but...

    Modding and Steam.

    Yeah, but it doesn't work very well, just copy the game folder found in the steamapps/username/common folder (for non source engine games ames games, it's the steamapps/username folder for source games). The problem is that the backup utility will stop working if the backed up files are over...

    Best Game that Nobody Played...?

    A common misconception, but it didn't get banned, virgin games got bought out before it was released and the new owners cancelled it along with a few other games as well. It was already in production so those copies found their way out into the world, but as far as I'm aware it never got banned...

    309: Everything Good Old is New Again

    it really is, and unfortunately its probably just not going to happen. It's not so bad with the first, but the rights to ss2 are all over the place. There were 3 different developers working on the game. Looking glass who made the first and later got bought by eidos, and along with it the...

    "Project RedLime" is Going to Be Huge

    it would actually be syndicate 3, as syndicate wars is technically syndicate 2, or the fourth game if you count the first games expansion.

    Sharing Portal 2 on PS3 and PC?

    No, the ps3 version comes with a code that can be activated on any steam account, i don't believe its limited to the one you sync with your psn account. So you and your friend shouldn't have a problem.
