Huge question here for me. I have the original game, box and all, from back in the day. I have tried to re-install and play it, but something is just wrong with the video. This isn't uncommon (see System Shock 2), but I have to know did Andy re-install the original game to a modern system (like...

I was thinking that too. They aren't all terrible bringing us Metro 2033 and as the original publisher of STALKER:SoC. Then again that was a long time ago.

This is what I meant by "original space." We play a few MMOs and I usually have the family share the Alts. Some MMOs give each alt it's own name, inventory, and even personal construction space. Some only share in-game money. Some (frustratingly) share everything: all alts have the same name...

Hmm. Thanks for all the replies. It appears to me that I could purchase one copy, install it on both PCs, and the house can play as much single player as we want. No one would step on anyone's creative toes. But unless I am mistaken, playing together may just be out. Even if I get two licenses...

I'm about to addict myself and all my young children to Minecraft. I'm digging around the site and wikis and even tweeted to Moj customer rep some, but I'm left with a couple questions that someone more familiar with the game might be able to answer quickly. We only have two computers that I...

I think something more like C.A.N.D.Y.L.A.N.D. Something dark, scary, where you are a lone wandering trying to survive the post-apocalyptic forces of delicious sweetness and hell. And where blow-outs are like an enormous pinata explosion with much destruction. And Twizlers are a hand-to-hand...

Same here. I actually own all the games mentioned in this thread (Thief, System Shock 1 & 2, Grim Fandango..), but nearly all of them either won't run on my modern system or won't run without some sort of unnoticable flaw. I wish GOG would just release patches for the games it's fixed, but I...

But doesn't THQ do alot of external publishing as well? Anyone have an idea what game titles just went up in smoke (potentially) because they aren't internally developed? The Metro 2033 sequel comes to mind.

My first thought as well. Or the previous MW commercial with Jimmy Kimmel. Or the America'a Army game. It all seems tasteless or just sales. You don't get to pick and choose.

I have a lucky situation. My household plays a few MMOs. Only one is subscription. The rest are F2P, though in nearly all we have made a small contribution at one time or another. In every case, the Alts are all different family members. I don't feel bad at all that I'm not playing or haven't...

Well, I guess all this really hangs on exactly what Epic promised them that the U3 engine would be able to do that it simply couldn't. Epic really has gone into the engine business these last few years, and I imagine some game designers license it because it's probably the biggest dog in the...

Wow. Having just scrolled through all of the launch titles, I would have to say that those are some awful, awful games. There might be 10% real titles in the list especially if your window extends to decade-old games. Most are bargain bin fodder though, with many being flash-type games that are...

Yeah, but, ack. I hate Spike. And it's VGAs. When did they become the voice of televised video games?

I know this is an old thread, but what the heck is that picture from?? I just played through all of STALKER:CoP and those critters don't appear anywhere in the game. Perplexing.

Why are we acting like this is new? The "Just for Kids" section is at least a month old. I guess Netflix timed the press release for the holidays.
