    Saints Row Ultimate Franchise Pack: $13.74 at Steam

    As for getting SR2 to run decently, look up the mod/toolset "Gentlemen of the Row". This is a complete package from stability improvments to extra customization options for the player and homies.

    What to buy at Future Shop?

    If you honestly can't think of anything, offer it on Kijiji or other classifieds for cash at a slight discount. At least you can do more with the cash afterwards.

    Bugbear doing what they do best: Making a brand new Flatout-style offroad racing game

    Considering that #3 was made by a different developer entirely while BugBear was making Ridge Racer: Unbounded, your concerns are not without merit. Blame Team6 entirely for that one. On topic, I pre-ordered a while back and am loving what I've gotten so far. Patiently awaiting for the next...

    The Official Forza 5 thread

    You won't have to spend that much. One gold account carries over to all accounts (created/associated?) on that console.

    The Official Forza 5 thread

    Well, this killed all interest for me: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-11-06-why-forza-motorsport-5-has-less-cars-and-tracks-than-forza-4 14 tracks, that's like less than half then there was before. That, and having maybe half the cars from before is making me skip this one. I'll just...

    Deus Ex: HR director's cut coming

    Seems reasonable. As I don't own the DLC, and would cost about $10 to get them anyway; outside of a sale, it's a nice deal for me.

    Oblivion - Is the a mod to fix the crap map size?

    I'm thinking the confusion may lie in what map the OP is using. Oblivion, by default has two map modes: the local, zoomed-in map that focuses on a single city/district/cave and immediate area when outside, and the overall map with markers for fast travel.

    Which setting(s) within The Sims 3 use mainly RAM resources?

    Correct, most titles are x86, which are limited to only that much RAM. Skyrim is hard-coded in that regards too, and will CTD if more than 3.1 GB is used. To the OP, you didn't list what the graphics card was. VRAM isn't really an issue, as I log that slightly under 1GB fully loaded in my...

    Essential Skyrim Mods?

    I just let BOSS handle the placement (about halfway down for my modlist). Can't say as I don't use RCRN, but I don't see why it would interfere. SPERG's focus is mainly the perk menu, with slight touches in smithing, being the melting of items in the forge for ingots. (Enchantments and artifact...

    Essential Skyrim Mods?

    I'm surprised no one mentioned Skyrim Perk Enhancements and Rebalanced Gameplay. It changes the perk system to be very useful and allow for more varied builds with automatic perks and synergy between trees. It also scales the damage across melee/ranged/destruction magic to do 2x base damage at...

    Need help with the sims 3 (my daughers game) Lots of exp. kind of confused

    As per this, one can choose either renting a house, staying in a dorm, or joining a frat/sorority each time you go, but you can't change it mid-term. Alcohol is already censored in the Sims series. It's called juice pong to begin with. World Adventures added nectar-making (which is based on...

    Need help with the sims 3 (my daughers game) Lots of exp. kind of confused

    I'll try to answer what I can. 1. Regardless of what Exp. packs are installed, it will always load the latest released one that's installed, which is University Life in your case. It's recommended to install each expansion in the order they were released for the best stability. Large numbers of...

    Xbox One allows independent publishing

    So, I didn't see it mentioned here, but CBOAT on Neogaf stated that it would be restricted to the Win 8 App store only, and with a limit of 3GB RAM usable. I'm rather off-put by this whole thing altogether now.

    Anyone sticking to current gen systems for a while?

    I'm sticking with my 360 Slim, as it's pretty much just for Rock Band custom songs and Forza now. Maybe Sony may entice me with the 4, but I just spent a bunch of cash upgrading to Haswell, so I'm done buying hardware for now. (Steam sales, on the other hand...)

    Free Fable III for Xbox Live Gold members

    Store items on the xbox website have two payment options. Credit card, or MS Points. It wasn't going through for me as my card on file had expired (being the default for GoD), but selecting MS Points allowed me to force the "purchase" through.
