The last game you will ever play
**** I dunno.

Dead Space
The suit looks a bit silly, everything else looks well thought out. 'Necromorphs' lols. gimme a break. Also, it's EA, that means the game is not a keeper, right, you can only use it for 3 installs or hardware changes.

Dead Space
So can I get a solid recommendation out of anyone. I love sci fi, I hated Doom3.

Fallout 3
Demos cost production time, and if your game stinks it's only going to make things worse. The smoke and mirrors approach probably works better.

I can still hear you...
I think i'm going with seagate too next time around, they have a pretty solid reputation

Fallout 3
I just know its going to suck and break my heart.

Your own fault for not having proper backup >_ Whatever is important to you can't just be on one physical drive.

Fable 2 scores 10/10 on Eurogamer...
Most people who get a job writing game reviews are positive. That's how they continue to get work. I'm just curious, so you prefer positive reviewers to neutral or negative ones.

Monitors
I still have my old beat up 22' CRT. I got used to it I guess. Still beats any LCD for color reproduction. CRTs benefit from 32 bit color, but get this, LCDs aren't even true 16 bit, they cheat and use interpolation. Friend of mine was able to turn the firmware off his mac screen and it was plain as day how sucky they were without it. Gradients had visible borders. Prolly gonna get one anyway though, costs less in power, doesn't take up half a desk, easier on the eyes etc.

That baloney with the package being intact don't fly with danish legislation. If you have a receipt and you had to break the wrapping to get to it, they have to return it. That don't stop them from forgetting to tell you that bit of information when you take it back though. I guess there is just something fundamentally amoral and shifty about sales clarks.

1956 - Your connection to it
It wasn't part of my curriculum, or maybe I just missed those days. Anyway it is I suppose an important cold war moment. Other than that it was over pretty fast.

Far Cry 2
I got tied of crysis somewhere in the huge spaceship, I also thought the suit controls were annoying. You can either run too slowly, or too fast for 2 seconds. You can't jump anywhere until the strength thing has recharged, real stealth would have been preferable to a magic button. etc, etc. This is another one of those you can only install 3 times games isn't it. That means bargain bin for me. Anyway I got my taste of the engine already.

US Presidential Elections 2
No one country is going to just leave the economy to do it's thing, there are vested interests after all. The thought is utopian.

1956 - Your connection to it
My mom told me later today that many people listened to every free Hungarian radio broadcast, when they stopped coming, people knew what had happened. I guess this was back when radio mattered.

Japanese Woman Jailed After Killing Virtual Husband
What a wuss, going to the police with that.

1956 - Your connection to it
That is probably what he mean, ain't it. Well, I guess it just sucks to be on the wrong side of the Iron curtain. It was decided that Hungary was in Russia's sphere of interest, this is a consensus that goes all the way back to Potsdam. Of course no one asked Hungary.
-
1956 - Your connection to it
I don't know a damn thing about the Hungarian revolution, maybe you could enlighten us. Unless you mean when the Ruskies rolled their tanks in to regain control, and Nato decided it wasn't worth fighting a war over.

BioWare/Lucas Arts game unveiled Oct 21
Ohh,, well. It's a shame I think. Kotor held a promise, for however briefly, that you could have a story for grown ups set in the star wars universe.

Ok so I don't have the heart to wade through this thread. Is there going to be both a Kotor 3 and another Starwars Memopherger ....

LittleBig Planet Delayed after Quran passage found in sound track.
I still think there was a knee-jerk reaction from this thread's participants, and the Western gaming world in general. All things considered, maybe the Muslim complaints would turn out to be bollocks... but I doubt all things were considered with acute knowledge of Muslim convention in mind by most of the responses. I think because the demand made, the convention cited, was so foreign to us, and there was a tinge of 'freedom of expression' stuff thrown in, there was a natural outburst against it. That's where you are wrong, you don't need a Phd, in Islamic scripture to have an opinion. The Koran belongs to all of us, all of mankind, not just Muslims. We are free to reference and interpret it any way we like. If the fundies think it is theirs alone to guard fiercely they can go suck eggs.

Dutch youths convicted of virtual theft
Technically most governments can take away property as well, so how can you own anything in reality? Protection of property is a basic cornerstone of modern democracies. Government can requisition land, that is force you to sell, but they sure as hell can't confiscate your belongings without criminal procedures. The MMO handlers are the real owners of the virtual item market. They control every facet except the actual transaction, assuming that selling loot for real currency is even allowed.

Dutch youths convicted of virtual theft
This whole virtual property deal is nonsense. The MMO handlers can take it away at a whim, so how can you own anything.

Internet meme game.
Dear Gifted1, I don't really know how to tell you this, but I'm selling myself. I think I realised it when I changed tennis shoes as you ate enchilada, and I saw you sit on my best friend. I'm sure you're ashamed enough to understand how awful I've felt. I'm returning your ring to you, but I'm keeping your suicide note as a memory. You should also know that I hate the Boston Celtics. Go burn, Gorgon. (at least i'm not the one who's burning)
